In the Bunker
Author: BobR    Date: 08/17/2017 13:46:38

We all know what happened this past weekend. You'd have to be living under a rock to not know a basket of deplorables showed up in Charlottesville, VA this past weekend to protest the removal of a confederate statue. Things got ugly; with Nazis and KKK and White Supremacists - oh my! - it's certainly not surprising. What should be surprising (but - sadly - isn't), is how our supposed "president" handled it.

You could've gotten whiplash listening to his comments on three successive days. First was the "both sides are to blame" non-condemnation. Next came the specific calling out of Nazis. Finally, he finished with "good people on both sides". Good people on the Nazi side? Really?

His inability to strongly condemn hate groups has caused a landslide reaction. What started with Merck leaving the White House Business Councils transitioned to a mass exodus. The council effectively ceased to exist, leaving tRump no alternative but to disband them and then claim credit. Republicans in Congress are likely paying very close attention, since "corporate" is the Republican brand.

He's not getting much love over at FOX "News" either. Even conservative stalwart Charles Krauthammer is disgusted. Shep Smith wanted to get a Republican on to defend tRump's comments, but couldn't find a single one willing to do so.

Like Hitler in the bunker, he's counting on his troops to help him out. They too are finding out that public displays of hate have consequences. The Daily Stormer (I'm not going to provide a link) has been hit on multiple sides. Their website has been taken down:




Twitter has shut down the website's accounts. And PayPal is shutting down accounts tied to any hate group. They can't get their message out or raise funds. They will likely find a way to get around it, but they will have to go back underground to do so.

The groups and their members are having other troubles as well. Radio host Dean Obeidallah is suing The Daily Stormer for posting fake tweets linking him to the Ariana Grande concert bombing. Attendees and speakers for the rally have been finding themselves unemployeed. Hell - even their own DNA is betraying them.



tRump is seeing his circle shrinking, and there's no one left to bail him out - no one left wants to bail him out anymore. The Executive Branch is sputtering along on a skeleton crew, and there's little chance of that changing. Mueller is still circling like a buzzard waiting for a wounded animal to die. Not even time is on tRump's side at this point.

tick... tick... tick...

Good morning!

Speaking of the bunker -- He's going to camp David this weekend -- the cover is supposedly Afghanistan. I feel wierd about this meeting with McMaster, Mattis Kelly, and Pence.

The story is to discuss Afghanistan -- but that doesn't really explain why Pence left his South American tour early. It doesn't explain why so many puplic appearances were cancelled either.

Something is up with this and and his super fringy tweets today.

Trump get's buggy when stuff is about to go down and I don't think it is just about that Bannon interview.

Cloudflare CEO on Terminating Service to Neo-Nazi Site: 'The Daily Stormer Are Assholes'

This was my decision. Our terms of service reserve the right for us to terminate users of our network at our sole discretion. My rationale for making this decision was simple: the people behind the Daily Stormer are assholes and I’d had enough.

Let me be clear: this was an arbitrary decision. It was different than what I’d talked talked with our senior team about yesterday. I woke up this morning in a bad mood and decided to kick them off the Internet. I called our legal team and told them what we were going to do. I called our Trust & Safety team and had them stop the service. It was a decision I could make because I’m the CEO of a major Internet infrastructure company.

WELL.... .
For several weeks there have been rumours that Sater is ready to rat again, agreeing to help Mueller. ‘He has told family and friends he knows he and POTUS are going to prison,’ someone talking to Mueller’s investigators informed me.

Sater hinted in an interview earlier this month that he may be cooperating with both Mueller’s investigation and congressional probes of Trump.

“In about the next 30 to 35 days, I will be the most colourful character you have ever talked about,” Sater told New York Magazine. “Unfortunately, I can’t talk about it now, before it happens. And believe me, it ain’t anything as small as whether or not they’re gonna call me to the Senate committee.”

Doubtful.. I've had people tell me to untag them from long comment threads tho cuz it's like spamming their feed. Perhaps it was something like that.

Actually from what I understand it's exactly the opposite. You wouldn't know that looking at Juggalos tho.

It's official:

45 condemned the attacks in Barcelona quicker than he condemned the racist terror attack in Charlottesville VA.

Uhh, what the hell is he talking about? Pershing was never involved in any military action involving a predominantly Muslim country or army, nor any action involving terrorists. In fact, as far as I can see the man DELIBERATELY killed civilians in the Philippines and disrespect their Muslim faith at the same time (if that's even true).

You know what? Senator Corker is someone I disagree with.

That this monster can try to get away with his hatred -- well, I am in agreement with him with this interview.

Corker nailed it. HE was on point for the ENTIRE 15 minutes.
