How can Trump be around these people given his favourite lady, Ivanka, is Jewish. His grandkids are Jewish. His pal Putin isn’t exactly big on the Tribe either.

Yes the one shown here giving the fat orange perv a bump and grind lap dance when she was only 15.

How the US Got So Many Confederate Monuments​

“The vast majority of them [Confederate monuments] were built between the 1890s and 1950s, which matches up exactly with the era of Jim Crow segregation.” According to the Southern Poverty Law Center’s research, the biggest spike was between 1900 and the 1920s.

In contrast to the earlier memorials that mourned dead soldiers, these monuments tended to glorify leaders of the Confederacy like General Robert E. Lee, former President of the Confederacy Jefferson Davis and General “Thomas Stonewall” Jackson.

“All of those monuments were there to teach values to people,” Elliott says. “That’s why they put them in the city squares. That’s why they put them in front of state buildings.” Many earlier memorials had instead been placed in cemeteries.

White women were instrumental in raising funds to build these Confederate monuments. The United Daughters of the Confederacy, founded in the 1890s, was probably the most important and influential group, Elliott says.

In fact, the group was responsible for creating what is basically the Mount Rushmore of the Confederacy: a gigantic stone carving of Davis, Lee and Jackson in Stone Mountain, Georgia. Its production began in the 1910s, and it was completed in the 1960s.

Because what he says and what he does are two different things? Because there is absolutely no structural nor popular opinion accountability for lying? Cheating? Stealing? Fomenting insurrection?

How can these people call themselves Americans, this is not what I was brought up to expect from democracy?

One can only console oneself with the thought that these are under the control of paid shills of the Russian ruble. The poor education is a bigger concern.

I think that it speaks volumes that Ivanka was not at the launch of his campaign. Jared was there - but will he be seen there again given what has happened since. Lots of jewish conservatives stuck with Trump through his 4 years - I cant believe he has any jewish support left.

Charlottesville six months into his presidency should have been a massive fucking clue about where his sympathies lie.
