So here's a fun trivia question.

Who do we reckon was the last President to get the KKK's endorsement? No idea (Regan maybe for his dog whistle antics in 1980?)

Trump clearly the only one in modern times to refuse to disavow it!

[Strewelpeter]

Wow @ Trump

Nothing matters... but surely this matters... he is outright supporting the Nazi's

Denny even you see that this shit is way beyond the pale now don't you?

[Strewelpeter]

Here's a pic of Trump's new Chief of Staff listening live to the boss.

No comment needed.

I've stayed in the hotel in Jo'burg that Grace Mugabwe has gone on the run from having been alleged to have beaten up a woman at the weekend.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/aug/15/zimbabwe-first-lady-accused-attacking-woman-staying-grace-mugabe-sons

Can't believe she would have been staying at a shithole like that its definitely the worst hotel I've stayed in the city.
They must be seriously broke

[ComradeCollie]

On the plus side, nobody is reporting on Trumps 'Ireland is taking our jobs' bit, before he got down to the Nazi love in.

He started rambling at the end as he was walking away "actually I own one of the largest vineyards in the US it's in Charlottesville "
Also kept bringing up how the mother of the woman killed praised his response on twitter but he hasn't reached out yet
He is properly mentally ill ,can't be long left.

Hes gonna explode quite soon. And @the-rigger will owe me a tenner

[Strewelpeter]

Markets continue to make him 50% to get to 2020

Ryan will have to move soon, just can't see explicit support for torch bearing Nazis playing out well in the polls. Hopefully they will drag Pence out with him.
Denny and the fanbois are probably claiming it's the carefully measured position of a strategic genius... Reasoning being something to do with making the billions he owes to Putin look irrelevant

[6starpool]

Nope, republicans won't turn on him over this. Guns and religion are the only things that would 100% make that happen.

Denny even you see that this shit is way beyond the pale now don't you?

Huh? Dunno why you keep bringing me up in this debate? You hardly need me to disavow neo-nazis do you!

Trump in Grade A meltdown status this evening.

Moral equivalence stated between Nazis and counter protestors. WTF!?

The irony is that General Lee opposed slavery

Support for Trump is now explictily support for them too.

For a lad who opposed slavery Lee sure fought a long hard war to try and preserve it.

[Strewelpeter]

Ah come on, that was someone else's words dragged kicking and screaming out of him three days too late and he has completely rowed back on that statement tonight.

He always said he was a president for all Americans. I really don't understanad why he hasn't been better with the condemnation, but I think it's a stretch to believe he has support for white supremacists.

Probably should have went for lee's opposite number grant who also owned slaves but I bet he wishes he had a press secretary to step out in front of the crowd now.

He has support from white supremacists (one of whom sits at his right hand) that he refuses to disavow.

It would be so easy to reply to tweets like Duke's with "I don't want your support and I 100% reject it".

Yet he refuses to do so. His own dog-whistle racist campaign coming back to bite him.

[MrsFlushdraw]

I will be returning home, quite hungover, on Thursday. Which is the sixth anniversary of my marriage. Easy to remember the anniversary as its two weeks before my beautiful daughter was born.

So ... what does a man, newly manified, get his wife to mark this glorious occassion? I have €100 max as travel only with my Irish cash card in order to prevent €1800-style strip club disasters.

I know you haven't had a wedding ring the full time, but I don't think you had an engagement ring? SO a nice eternity ring with stones in it would be a nice gift to let her know that the new manafied man is happy

Norman Price really gone too far this morning...

Paddy Power's Twitter account was suspended briefly on Monday evening for violating Twitter's rules, before getting back to normal on Tuesday morning.

Does anyone know what happened and why? Would love to find out...

He kinda U turned on that U turn. Counter protesters were worse in his eyes last night

Is there anywhere I can watch Poker After Dark? As in not subscribing to whatever that site is.

Can watch Ep. 2 here at the moment. It might not stay up all day

I think it was something to do with their fan denial video. Was reading a bit about it yesterday but not sure exactly what was said. They said the vid was also posted on their FB page, but that wasn't available yesterday either.

Well, its basically just you and Dave Duke holding the line now.

He always said he was a president for all Americans. I really don't understanad why he hasn't been better with the condemnation, but I think it's a stretch to believe he has support for white supremacists.

Its really not a stretch at all... they got him elected, they are his people, he is one of them and always has been. Look at his life, look at what the unearned fortune he got his hands on was built on (Clue: segregated housing). Look at his dedication to Putin, look at Bannon FFS!

If it walks and talks and quacks like a duck...

I don't understand it at all. During the campaign he hit back hard at anyone that didn't support him, and anyone that did support him was tremendous, so perhaps he is reluctant to disavow any supporters. Surely he realises though that white supremacists are a pretty small and toxic demographic and he's losing far more supporters by the connotation that he supports them.

(Just to make it clear to SP, I can't see any Trump genius in play here)

Id say the simpler explaination is that he is a racist not able to denounce his fellow racists because he agrees with them. He has proved himself a racist before with the central park 5 newspaper ads so we already know that for sure.

Trump deffo a racist . He never mentioned how fit and hawt Michelle O'Bama is. Tremendous shape for her age.

I have a Pre pay gas meter and find it brilliant. I never use it in summer really. Fierce handy. I'd stick with it.

I'd prefer to go direct debit with elec bundled and get the discounts. Also i don't fancy going outside in pissing rain to top up the yoke when the house is freezing.

I don't have esb meter. You can change gas company ie meter and get indoor one, top up on app.

Generally cheaper to have different suppliers for gas and electricity. Energia and flogas are the cheapest combo at the moment for most people.

Are you sure about this? All the comparison sites suggested that I consolidate bills for further discounts. Added discounts for online billing and direct debit.

[ArmaniJeans]

When I see someone with pre-pay leccy I kinda assume they are feckless layabouts who were forced into it by the ESB as they were spending their money on cigs and tinnies but the supplier didn't want to cut them off and end up with bad headlines in the Star.

Is it worth paying for tunnelbear hitch? Is there a tangible benefit paying 60 bucks a year for "privacy"?
