On MSNBC last night,someone had kittens over Trump’s calling Andrew Jackson a great man. Apparently, the fact that he owned slaves and deported Indians far outweighs his pivotal victory at New Orleans and his actions that added Florida to the US.

Democrats used to complain of the idea of ending slavery just like CNN complains about the President.

Some things never change

Everything the gorilla writes is lame. Liberals have a lame mindset, unable to view the world without their prejudices.

This idiot.

I read through his responses, and most of them are snarky responses or willfully ignorant about what Trump said.

Such as, his snarky comment about, gee, is there a campaign to tear down Mt. Rushmore that we aren’t aware of??? Give me a break. With all the recent activity of tearing down statues and defacing monuments, he knows damn well what Trump is talking about. And with the recent activity, all of us would not be surprised if the anarchists would target Mt. Rushmore for destruction.

Or this response :

6. “Many of these people have no idea why they are doing this, but some know exactly what they are doing.”

In Trump’s mind, there are only two kinds of protesters: dupes who have no idea what they are even protesting and professional rabble-rousers like Antifa. That, of course, totally dismisses the idea that the protesters — or some large chunk of them — are committed believers that the police need to be reformed and that racial inequity remains a real and pressing problem in America.


Give me another break. This dude knows damn well that Trump is talking about VIOLENT so called “PROTESTERS”, who are tearing down statues of Lincoln and Grant, who were on the “right side of history” in the Civil War. Which suggests that these mob members don’t know what the hell they are doing and who the people being honored really are. Also, what does rioting and mayhem have to do with some committment to police reform?

So does this prick endorse violence and toppling monuments, as long as the rabble rousers can espouse a politically correct justification?

How many thousands of lies does this make that Trump has told, according to liberal liars?

>>Uh, was there some sort of movement to tear down Mount Rushmore I was unaware of or....? <<

New York Times Accuses Mount Rushmore of Being Racist
By Eric Lendrum • July 2, 2020

The New York Times has published an article attempting to paint Mount Rushmore, the iconic American landmark, as racist in every way, from the historical figures depicted to the land upon which it is built, as reported by the Washington Free Beacon.

The Times article, “How Mount Rushmore Became Mount Rushmore,” criticizes all four presidents depicted (George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln) by calling Washington and Jefferson slave-owners, falsely accusing Roosevelt of being a racist, and claiming that Lincoln didn’t do enough to free the slaves.

The article goes further by attacking the man who sculpted the monument, Gutzon Borglum, due to his previous work on several Confederate memorials. It also claims that Rushmore was built on Indian land.

The attack comes just one day before President Donald Trump is scheduled to visit the historic monument for an early celebration of the 4th of July. As such, the far-left has stepped up rhetorical attacks on the landmark, including a radical Indian leader’s calls for the monument to be destroyed. The Democratic National Committee’s official Twitter account posted a tweet declaring that the 4th of July was a celebration of “white supremacy,” with the backlash being so strong that the DNC eventually deleted the tweet.

Mount Rushmore is by far the largest monument to come under attack by the Left in its ongoing crusade to tear down America’s monuments. The Trump Administration has begun pushing back on this effort, with the president signing an executive order to fast-track the process by which the federal government can pursue, arrest, and prosecute anyone involved in the vandalism or destruction of a federal monument.

There have been multiple arrests, and it was announced on Wednesday that the Department of Homeland Security had created a special task force, the Protecting American Communities Task Force (PACT), aimed specifically at deploying DHS special units across the country to protect monuments from vandalism over the coming Independence Day weekend.

The editorialist here is a thumb-sucking, bed-wetting third grader, right?

They’re so used to hating America it now seems normal to them. As in: “We aren’t hating America; we’re just hating its laws, political system, religious heritage, founding, history, world leadership, wealth, military, symbols, heroes and a few other unjust aspects. Other than that, we love this country.”

Everyone, even the libs, know by npw that CNN is Pravda....it’s totally useless when it comes to true reporting...and it’s been that way for a long time. They really need to be gone.

Cillizard is speaking to idiots who use CNN and its ilk for their only news sources. None of Trump’s points are incorrect — it’s just that CNN censors any hews they don’t want to public to know.
