I'm sorry that I demonized white supremacists.
To be fair, those guys on that cart aren't white supremacists. They were just yelling that to piss off the other protesters.

Seems like a spurious distinction...

If Trump was your friend on any social media platform you'd surely have unfollowed years ago. But instead, everyone treats his every retweet like it's the Gettysburg Address. It's fucking embarrassing.

I would never unfollow a friend, that's what the mute function's for.

He was talking about how many names Covid has. How about Trump's Folly as a new one?
Trumpitis?

Sure, but I guess I wonder what work it does to say, "these aren't real white supremacists." They might not be avowed or self-identified white supremacists--insofar as they're (maybe) not in the KKK--but if you think it's funny to yell "white power" or you want to piss off liberals by doing so, you in some way think there
isn't any problem with white supremacy, and that the people upset about it are fixating on a fake problem, blowing things out of proportion, etc. And so if we know that American society is structurally racist, the people who don't want to change that society are kind of by default, tacitly, in favor of white supremacy. This is kind of the argument you've been making about/around tree_ for the past week, no?
Leaving aside, too, the fact that you can't really know whether or not he's a true believer or just saying this to own the protestors.

One thing we do know is he is definitely a very stupid man.

On a bed made of laundered Russian money, like he has for decades.

It is increasingly hilarious to watch people who “Bengazhi!”d for 10 years not have a single word to say about this.

seriously though - god knows he doesnt read written briefings
not that it absolves him of responsibility
but he could have easily just said 'i get a lot of printouts and didnt see it'
and people probably would have been like 'yeah, i could see that'
