    But, hey, if I went to a rally, and saw my fellow attendees were Antifa, socialists, the New Black Panthers, and the Brown Berets de TejAztlan, I'd probably leave that rally too.

    But, Black Lives Matter can partner with socialists, and Hispanic separatist organizations, and not only will they not be tarred by the press for the association, the local left wing press will celebrate their event:

    Scores of demonstrators crowded the corner of Post Oak and Westheimer in Uptown on Sunday afternoon to protest the election of Donald Trump. The event, organized by groups including Familias Immigrantes y Estudiantes en la Lucha, the Houston Socialist Movement, Los Houston Brown Berets de TejAztlan and the city's chapter of Black Lives Matter, was the latest of several protests against the president-elect since Election Day on November 8.

    When the leaders of the Dyke March intimidate, and eject participants who bring a pride flag, with a Star of David on it, do we oust those leaders from the Democratic Party?

    The President of the United States is not fit to run a dinner party. That's what I care about right now. I don't care about Denocrats and Republicans.

    Well then how about the Dyke March, because I have a feeling we are going to be hearing about that again and again here.

    And, if we reject Robert E. Lee from a place of prominence in American history -- not because he was a racist, or because he owned slaves, like Washington and Jefferson, but because he took up arms against the nation -- then how do we not denounce the leaders of the Women's March, when they feature Angela Davis, a socialist, a member of the Black Panther Party, and a woman who participated in violent revolution against our nation, as a featured speaker?

    Yep.

    I find Trump offensive, but woefully incompetent beyond however much he offends me.

    Business people generally do not, IMO, make good governmental executives at the governor or president level. Mayor, yes. Senator? Yeah, maybe. House of reps? Yes, I think so.

    President or governor? No. You have to appoint people who are sustainable. In business, if you have to shift on the fly three times in six months to know to correct, you probably can. In government, the system is too vast and unwieldy. You have to appoint people for sustainability and competency. Trump did not.

    He instead created the leakiest, worst performing White House possible. If Sean Spicer is a credible worker, he is barely so. Bannon is a creepy, racist uncle. Mooch came right out of a bad Wolf of Wall Street knockoff.

    The Chicago Dyke March, a local event, had more participants than any Richard Spencer associated national events.

    And, the leaders are anti-Semitic.

    So, has the Democratic Party made it clear that they disassociate with this group, and do not want them as party members or voters?

    If not, why not?

    The left continues to demand that the Republican Party disassociate itself from groups it has long disassociated itself from, and has repeatedly denounced.

    No one demands, and the Democratic Party certainly hasn't volunteered, that the Democrats disassociate and denounce the socialists in its ranks, the anti-Semites, the black separatists, the sixties radicals who took part in acts of terror, the FALN, or any other fringe group.

    Nah. Current administration continually endorsed the racist, nationalist groups. Trump quite often tweets and retweets racist and anti-Semitic symbols. It's part od his nature and part of his xampaign strategy. You built it, you wear it, GOP.

    Jesus, it's Groundhog Day in here every fucking day.

    It's like WWI in the trenches, just lobbing mortars and mustard gas at each other without moving the battle lines.

    Folks need to get a life outside this thread.
