Subtlety is overrated — and when the leader of the free world happens to be a radioactive, hate-orange poisonous toad, it can even be something of a disservice.
This week, the work splashed across the covers of three highly respected publications err on the side of big, blustery statements that provide the pictorial equivalent of a rotten banana pie hurled into Trump’s blabbering skull-flaps.
Related: Time’s new cover is going to royally piss off Donald Trump
Notice a theme? Each of these works are as pointedly obvious and ham-fisted as The President’s queasy rhetoric.
How about we take this to the next level?

Just more evidence that the media are the enemies of sanity, reason, and the American people.
Good to know they’ve replaced the Muh Russia metanarrative with Muh Racism. Doesn’t matter that he didn’t say anything racist. Doesn’t matter that he condemned the racists. Doesn’t matter that he condemned the political violence (which many on the left refuse to do). Hell, I’ve seen one or two on this website openly support political violence.
DCguy
Oh look, the trolls are freaking out because somebody points out that claiming that there are good people in the Nazi and KKK rally were “Good People”.
Trolls, I have news for you. you don’t get to claim that somebody didn’t say anything racist when they call racists good people, but please, keep up that narrative because it just points out the fact that you aren’t just anti-lgbt, but you’ve exposed yourself as somebody who will always, defend anything the right wing does, whether it’s racism, bigotry, sexism, etc…
The fact that you’re pushing this hysterical defense shows that your identification is not with the people this site caters to, but to the racists and bigots who would see us dead.
KaiserVonScheiss
That’s not what he said, and you would know it if you actually listened. Then again, I don’t expect much from you other than paranoid delusions like “muh multiple screen names.” Blah, blah, blah.
He condemned the racists, but that doesn’t matter to you.
tham
Muh Russia? Sounds like a great Drag name.
Paco
Anyone that protests with Nazis and KKK are not good people.
The fact that so many Republicans choose to ally themselves with racist fascists is quite frightening.
KaiserVonScheiss
@Paco
I’m glad you think everyone who disagrees with you is a “racist fascist.” You’ve already stated that you support political violence. I’m sure you’ll fit right in with antifa at their next event. I recommend you invest in pepper spray or some blunt instruments for attacking people. Those will help you fit right in.
Paco
Yeah whatever, @Kaiser.
The counter protesters weren’t using ISIS tactics and running people down with cars like the violent racists fascists were. Someone died at the hands of the Vanilla-ISIS terrorists.

The problem with Trump is he does not think, he just spews forth what he wants as he runs his new TV show, The Trumpident. Neo Nazis, KKK, and White Supremacists/Nationalists are racists and any other violence, regardless who it comes from, is unacceptable. Boston is having a big rally today at the Boston Common and anyone who brings anything that can be used as a weapon e.g. guns, sticks, objects that can be tossed etc. will be removed from the rally by the BPD. Anyone who is violent toward Anyone will be removed from the rally by the BPD. Safety for the crowd is what the police chief said is their main issue.

Notice, Donald Trump was only branded a racist when he went against the political establishment, the media, and the Clinton machine.
Just look at Trump’s past:
1986 Trump receives the Ellis Island medal along with Rosa Parks
1986 Trump helped save a family’s working farm that was going into foreclosure
1988 Airlines wouldn’t accommodate a boy who had serious medical issues, so Trump offered his jet to help: http://www.jta.org/1988/07/20/archive/orthodox-child-with-rare-ailment-is-rescued-aboard-tycoons-jet
1991 Donald Trump says “he hates seeing what David Duke represents”, in an interview with Larry King.
1997 Donald Trump was praised by anti-defamation leagues who confirmed Trump’s legal fight to end anti-Semitism at private clubs
2000 Donald Trump calls David Duke a bigot, a racist, and a problem
2008 Donald Trump shelters Jennifer Hudson at the Trump International Hotel & Tower, Chicago, free of charge after her family was murdered: http://people.com/celebrity/donald-trump-shelters-jennifer-hudson/
2013 Bus driver prevents woman from jumping off overpass; after hearing about what he did, Donald Trump sent him ten thousand dollars: http://buffalonews.com/2013/10/29/bus-driver-prevents-woman-from-jumping-off-overpass-teaching-student-riders-a-lesson-in-compassion/
2015 Trump says he doesn’t want David Duke’s support, and that he really hopes that there isn’t anything about his campaign that would attract hate groups
2016 CNN Reports that Trump disavows the alt-right, and that he specifically told the New York Times that he doesn’t want to energise them
2017 Trump repeats his condemnation of hatred, bigotry, and violence
Brody
Doesn’t matter.
He left Hillary with egg on her face, so he must be brought down at any cost.
Not impeachment, nor incarceration, nor even the blood of his children with pacify these blood-thirsty animals in their quest to prove themselves righteous, and as usual they resort to the oldest attack in the Saul Alinsky playbook: Call them all racists.
1EqualityUSA
Brody, this entire paragraph you have just produced is twaddle. The Grand Wizard is sick in the head and seriously flawed. What a load.
BigWill
@Brody/Mo…Bromy? Spoken like a true biracial bisexual!
DCguy
Trump was forced to settle major racial discrimination suits with the Dept. of Justice,
Trump called Mexicans Racists
Trump attacked a judge and based on his race said he couldn’t deliver a verdict
Trump proposed a ban on people of a particular religion
Trump said he would pardon Sheriff Arpaio who the justice dept said, had committed the most extreme incidences of racial profiling they’d ever seen
Trump stated the President of the United states wasn’t born in this country and that he had proof, which, he then never produced and eventually was forced to admit was not the case
Or maybe I should have just posted this as a reply also to the post above yours, since you’re just two screenames from the same person.
Look, we get it, you hate lgbts, and you’re just here as a troll to give cover for Trump. But unless you are actually a Russian troll the fact that you’ve now thrown your lot in with Nazis, the KKK and Confederate apologists should really cause you to majorly rethink your life and how you got to this point.
tham
Russian bot Troll. They usually have about 1,000 different accounts (several on the same site) and do exactly this. Post under one account, then post again under several different accounts. I hear it’s a pretty decent government paycheck.
The way I deal with it is I fantasize about it being this really cute repressed Russian and trolling sites like this is his only outlet. Cute and sad…
mhoffman953
@DCguy
You sound really unhinged. First you said I’m MoBro, then I’m a bot from Muldova, then I’m a Russian, then I’m a Nazi / KKK / Confederate. You’re literally going mental lately
Plus the supposed examples you cite of “racism” are far from racism. I’m unaware of when Trump called Mexicans racists as you allege. I remember he gave a speech on *ILLEGAL* Mexican immigrants, but remember Mexican is not a race. He stated some of the illegals are bringing crime (which is true), some of the illegals are rapists (which is true based on ICE stats), and some of the illegals are good people (also true). Why are you defending illegals who invaded your country? Are you not American?
Trump proposed a ban on people of a particular geographic origin, not religion as you allege. If it was a flat out ban based on religion then every Muslim nation would be banned. Instead only 7 nations were banned. Obama banned immigration from Iran in the past for 11 months but I don’t think you’d label him a racist. Why are you defending potential foreign terrorists? Are you not American?
Funny that you’ll allege that everyone you don’t like is a Nazi and claim President Trump defended Nazis when in fact he said, “Racism is evil, and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs — including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans”, but then you’ll go on and defend Islamic terrorists and illegal immigrants while hiding behind a veil of supporting America.
But keep up with drinking the Koolaid from Vox, Slate, or whatever partisan newsfeed you get your talking points from.

____________________________________
Awww, sweetie, two quick hints here.
1.Claiming that racist actions and speech aren’t racist is how we SPOT racists. So you just gave yourself away.
2. Pretending not to know about an incident that was a major event in Trump’s campaign just demonstrates again how you troll bots are willing to lie about ANYTHING to make your phony point.
Look, we get it, you aren’t lgbt, you support EVERY single anti-lgbt bigot in the GOP that is talked about here. But now you’ve gone a step farther and are frantically defending Nazis and the KKK. You have not only exposed yourself as a racist, but made it MUCH more obvious that you are just some troll account. Because if you aren’t, why bother with the multiple screenames, the purposeful lying, the continued attempts to always defend bigots and racists with multiple postings from different accounts?
You’re acting like it’s your job, which is why it is becoming obvious you’re just another right wing trollbot account.
1EqualityUSA
Rudy G has time on his idle hands?
mhoffman953
@1EqualityUSA and @DCguy
You two are honestly unhinged and come up with more conspiracy theories about me than Alex Jones comes up with conspiracies.
First I was MoBro, then a bot from Muldova, then a Russian, then a Nazi / KKK / Confederate, and now you’re alleging I’m Rudy Guiliani.
Then @DCGuy
“Claiming that racist actions and speech aren’t racist is how we SPOT racists”
Um…not really. When people in today’s generation claim everything is racist, simply stating that it actually isn’t racist, is not how you spot a racist. You only target me because I hold some conservative views and find it easier to label be a racist or a troll so you can end the discussion and don’t have to come to terms with facts. There are other users on here who have stated very racist comments but you never label them as racist, why is that? The guy who posts under the name BobLaBlah posts anti-semitic comments all the time but because he’s a liberal, you are silent when he does so.
“Pretending not to know about an incident that was a major event in Trump’s campaign just demonstrates again how you troll bots are willing to lie about ANYTHING to make your phony point.”
When am I pretending to not know of an incident? You said Trump called illegal Mexicans racists. Trump never said there were racists. He said some illegal Mexicans who come into this country are rapists, not racists. Learn to spell. Plus that is a fact. Some of the illegal aliens who come into this country, commit rape. Trump also stated that some are bringing drugs, bringing crime, and some are actually good people. Yet again, you only pick one soundbite and contort what was said to fit your partisan view.
“You’re acting like it’s your job, which is why it is becoming obvious you’re just another right wing trollbot account.”
Another attempt to shut down the discussion. Any time I have an opinion different than yours, you come in here alleging I’m this or that. If you disagree with me then provide an actual response. It seems like your job is only to label the “multiple screen name conspiracy”, even though others on here have posted that you went by a screen name called Cam.
1EqualityUSA
Hoff must be under the impression that we read his trump twaddle. I get as far as his first, introductory whine and move on.
mhoffman953

“Hoff must be under the impression that we read”
Yeah, I was under the impression that you read and could read, but thanks for admitting that you can’t. It all makes more sense now
tham
The Economist has turned on him? That makes sense, they are the most respected conservative outlet.
mhoffman953
@tham
What do you mean The Economist turned on him? They were never on his side to start with. They endorsed Hillary which isn’t a surprise considering The Economist is partially owned by the Rothschilds – big friends of the Clintons
Juanjo
Herr Hoffman goes full Nazi – whenever you see a troll mention the “Rothschilds” that is their code word for Jew. The rest of his comment ins a bunch of unsupported drivel. For example there are several hundred owners of the Economist, including many staff members. The majority stock holder [47%] is the Agnelli family via a trust they control. Prior to that it was the Pearson family which controlled just over 50% of the stock and controlled the magazine. They sold out a little over a year ago.
But hey if you are afraid of finding Jews under your bed like Herr Hoffman, it is an issue if a Jew is involved in anything. It scares him more than Muslims and he really hates Muslims.
mhoffman953
@Juanjo
How am I going full Nazi by pointing out that one of the owners are friends with Hillary? Where in my statement did I mention their religious beliefs or that they are Jewish? I stated that the owners of the newspaper would be biased based on their friendship with the other candidate.
The fact that your reading comprehension took you down the road of focusing on the fact that they are a Jewish family shows your own subconscious bias.
As far as them not being the sole owner, I stated that as well by saying it’s partially owned by them. Yet, you’ll act as if I said something totally different than what I said and conflate it with useless information that fits your virtue signaling to paint me as hating on Jews now because I stated the owners of the magazine are friends with Hillary, even though I never said anything about them being Jewish (hint: You’re the one who brought up that they’re Jewish, not me)
ErikO
More lies from the media. Donald Trump is not r a c i s t, anti-semetic, does not hate muslims either, and does not hate hispanic or latino people.
Paco
He did say a judge couldn’t be impartial because he was a Mexican.
mhoffman953
@Paco
Considering the judge had ties to La Raza and groups which give money to illegal immigrant organizations as well as to this judge’s career, it’s a fair question to raise.
aaparker
Just asserating something to be true, does not make it true. There is AMPLE and clear evidence that he demonstrates all the traits you just mentioned. The fact is, you choose to interpret the multitudes of data in a way that suits your pre-formed narrative. It’s mind-boggling why you guys still want to stick with this president. He was unable to clearly and definitively denounce a group of Neo-Nazis who were bearing Nazi flags, chanting awful things, and would like nothing more than to see you hurt and/or dead. And, for some reason, you defend and defend. It’s so sad…there is a film over your eyes and heart which is in your power to clear through some soul-searching and honest research.
mhoffman953
@aaparker
“He was unable to clearly and definitively denounce a group of Neo-Nazis”
But he did when he stated the following, “Racism is evil. And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including KKK, Neo-Nazis, White Supremacists, and other hate groups are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans. Those who spread violence in the name of bigotry strike at the very core of America.”
Trump could cure cancer and you’d criticize him for taking jobs away from cancer doctors. Trump has denounced Nazis and the KKK for many years and several times over the past few months.
1EqualityUSA
This “cure cancer” lines were used by Alistair Wiseman. bot.
DCguy
How cute, Mo Bros older screenames like ErikO and mhoffman are back because the new ones like Brody and Kaiser all got found out.
It’s also adorable that you just said that a President who said there were “Good People” in a Nazi and KKK march isn’t racist. Bless your little Trump Troll heart.

@DCguy
“It’s also adorable that you just said that a President who said there were “Good People” in a Nazi and KKK march isn’t racist. Bless your little Trump Troll heart.”
Not every single person in that event was a bad person. You had war veterans, are you going to label them as Nazis even though they aren’t? There were bad people on both sides (i.e. Nazis, Antifa) and you had good people there too (i.e. non-violent activists, war veterans). To label every single person on the right as a Nazi would be as false as labeling every single person on the left as an anarchist.
@1EqualityUSA
“We used to strategize, organize, and share ideas, and now we’re battling zombies”
Huh? Share what ideas? This place is an echo chamber of a hive mindset between mindless zombies such as yourself. There is no sharing of ideas. It’s either you agree with the everyone on here about everything or you’re a Nazi Russian bot from Muldova that is paid by Breitbart. I guess whenever you aren’t making fun of handicapped or mentally disabled children on here (which you have done not once, not twice, but three times), is when you come up with those theories.

Late-1860s Democrats were hardly a “left” party. Late-1860s Republicans weren’t exactly a “right” party either. Modern political shorthand terms don’t fit the 1860s or even the 1920s when most of the Confederate monuments were built. Or even the 1960s when many Republicans were still liberals and most Southern whites were still Democrats.
