If Trump is the Republican id, this exchange between Laura Ingraham and Krauthammer is a dialogue between the ego and superego. Ingraham, a nationalist, is all about the agenda. Was Trump’s presser today a good thing? Well, she says, he made some solid points — but it wasn’t useful. It didn’t advance the ball on policy. Krauthammer, a conservative, isn’t interested in that right now. Was it moral, he asks? Was it right?
I wonder how many variations of this exchange are playing out within the administration tonight. Watch this quickie clip of Chuck Todd speculating that John Kelly’s going to end up having to talk people out of quitting over today’s spectacle. Um, I doubt it. Since when do Republicans balk at anything Trump does?

Kelly himself is reportedly not a happy man this evening:
Uh-oh a source tells @SaraMurray new White House Chief of Staff John Kelly is very frustrated with how today played out.

He looked every inch of it standing off to Trump’s side during today’s presser.
Oh — this guy was unhappy too. I know, I know: He’s a cuck.
No, not the same. One side is racist, bigoted, Nazi. The other opposes racism and bigotry. Morally different universes.

Somehow the back and forth between Ingraham and Krauthammer ends with them debating whether Trump’s statement yesterday, in which he denounced white nationalists after hedging on Saturday, reflects what’s actually in his heart or not. If you don’t believe the reporting on that, just watch the guy talk. When Trump is reading from a script, it’s abundantly clear. He speaks more slowly and his sentences are conspicuously more measured than when he’s rat-a-tat riffing on his thoughts, as he obviously was today. What happened the past few days isn’t complicated. He softballed his comments about the alt-right on Saturday, was cajoled by his aides into saying something more emphatic about them yesterday, then resented the fact that he’d been pressured into clarifying his remarks and decided to double down on the “both sides” point today off the cuff. Yesterday’s statement almost amounted to an apology for Saturday’s comments, and you know how Trump feels about apologies. Today he un-apologized.
“need help a guy on FB says the statue supports had their permit pulled. anyone know the facts on this?”
I have not seen that anywhere. Sounds like he is making it up. Let him prove it.
Are they insane?! Is Kraut going to wear a red hat and chant “whose street! Our street!” ? or “put pigs in a blanket!” ? Wtf
These liberals, msm and gopE are all freaking out for one reason. What Trump did today was powerful. The un-pc truth is a powerful think in fly over America.
Laura kicked the Kraut’s ass on this show today.
On another thread it was stated that Laura Ingraham handed Charles his ass during the discussion. I would not doubt that as Laura has the truth on her side.

I warned you fellas about this fraud going back to 2005.
I would cheer!
It would make sense for the ACLU to sue to get permit reinstated is ths whole thing is a false flag and the leader , as has been reported, is a leftist Hillary and Obama supporting agitator.
I suspect the whole thing was staged - except for the poor girl who got killed.
and what else can we expect from a neocon.
Exactly, a COURT gave these groups the right to protest and Krauthammer, Romney, Rubio, etc are defending violent attacks by communist thugs against legal protests. If it’s not possible to explain why these people are wrong, we are finished. There is no rule of law.
President Trump had no more intention of making that Marxist fraud Willard Secretary of State any more than Willard had any intention of defeating his idol Emperor Zero in 2012.
If the course of events progresses towards civill war and the shedding of blood then Mittens Romney will probably hang.
Kraut is a moral disgrace. How long, oh Lord, until our nation is rid of these meddlesome beasts!
I guess this is because the Russia thing didn’t work.
I'm beginning to think that's a core skill required for journalism: Being a disgraceful jerk
Sad thing is, in the 2000s the man made some sense.
Today he’s just unhinged.
His IQ has either dropped 75 points after 2010, or he’s getting twice as much under the table from the enemies of our nation.

Did Obama’s Attorney General say that we need blood in the streets?
Obama gets a pass.
Lynch gets a pass.
Hillary gets a pass.
They Hate Trump and depend upon the uninformed and ignorant.
