Gary Johnson's comments on this weekend:
(by the way, if neither party seems to fit you quite right, check out the libertarians - the real party of smaller government)
MY STATEMENT ON CHARLOTTESVILLE:
Racism killed people in Charlottesville this weekend. That is as un-American as it gets. In the nation our Founders created, even a tiny minority of vile and repugnant ‘demonstrators’ enjoys the right to express racist white-supremacist evil. BUT, the rest of us -- the overwhelming majority -- have the right, and I believe, the obligation, to condemn racism of every form. And when racist hate becomes violence and murder, we must respond with nothing less than the full force of the law.

VICE at the Charlotesville rally. Insanity of the KKK/Neo-Nazi's on display. About 20 mins long.
WARNING! The car plowing into the crowd is shown.
Interesting that they state its about free speech then a minute later its about driving non whites out of the country. Hmm...

When I'm truck driving I still see Ron Paul bumper stickers sometimes. I liked him on foreign policy.
I'm not 100% on board with their beliefs, but their stance on foreign policy really resonates with me. I'd prefer if the US stayed out of international affairs unless it is absolutely necessary. How has being the policeman of the world and causing "regime change" worked out? Even when we seem to have the best intentions (debatable) we frack everything up.
With all the talk about media bias, one bias stands above all else - the bias of fear. North Korea dominates the headlines. How many times have you seen the graphic which shows the "supposed" range of their missiles?
What should we do about their threats? Ignore them like we always have. I don't like the terrible human rights violations going on there, but unless they take military action against us, leave them alone.
Again I'm not a full fledged libertarian. We need government in a civilized society. Still though I think we could go a long way to improve our lives by having a little bit less of it.
I didn't watch last nights episode. Not surprising, the right leaning/falling off a cliff media, won't show this. I am all for free speech, but when you're threatening, how are people supposed to react? That opening is frightening. And the moron using Trevon Martin as an example,
I find it funny how some people still argue for keeping civil war statues around. It is just history they say...
Yet try and take one down and neo-nazis show up.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday retweeted, and then deleted, a Twitter message that said he is a “fascist.”
A Twitter user named Mike Holden wrote “He’s a fascist, so not unusual” in reply to a Fox & Friends story about Trump “seriously considering” pardoning former Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who was found guilty two weeks ago of criminal contempt for defying an order to stop targeting suspected undocumented immigrants for traffic stops.
Here is the tweet Trump deleted:
Trump shared the Fox & Friends story about Arpaio but didn’t comment on it. The president often tweets Fox stories.
Trump’s retweeting, and then deleting, of the tweet followed days of criticism for his initial reaction to the violence last weekend in Charlottesville, Va., at a white-supremacist rally, in which one person was killed. On Monday, two days after the incident, Trump condemned white supremacists, the KKK and neo-Nazis.
It wasn’t the only message retweeted and deleted by the president on Tuesday. Trump retweeted an image of a Trump train running over a CNN reporter before taking it down.
Monday night, meanwhile, Trump retweeted a post by an alt-right provocateur with ties to white nationalist Richard Spencer. That post remains on Trump’s Twitter feed.

Its funny, they seem like the type that would reject participation trophies.

Not surprised, he has no conscious awareness at all. It was probably deleted because an adult told him to, that's got to be the worst babysitting gig ever.
You know it is some poor bastard's job to sit there all day and monitor Trump's twitter account and go running in the room when he does something stupid (IE multiple times per day).
Stole it from Seth Meyers and made it into a high res.
From a White House spokesperson.....
From a White House spokesperson.....
The president said very strongly in his statement yesterday that he condemns all forms of violence, bigotry, and hatred and of course that includes white supremacists, KKK, nephew-nazi and all extremist groups. He called for national unity and bringing all Americans together.”
I hate fighting. I hate the fact that he was clearly finished and he kept going. I hate that s***. Looks like the white guy hit him first. His boy in pink tried to keep it on the level as one on one.
