    Of course he isnt. I dont think any of his statements regarding this weekend were strong enough, but I dont think more hyperbole about how all his voters must be card carrying KKK members is a useful exercise.

    Let's focus on what's important here kids:

    Phil Kessel ate hotdogs out of the Stanley Cup.


    As an aside, was anyone really surprised that Trump flubbed this? I mean, it isn't like they were doing something really reprehensible, lik criticizing the size of his inauguration crowd

    I try to escape this talk for a bit by tuning into ESPN and they are literally spending all day talking about Charlottesville, apparently it applies to sports cause some of the nazi dorks had a Detroit Red Wings logo, so for the first time in 7yrs ESPN will mention hockey, as a nice segway into an hour of talk about race in america and Kaepernick. I hate the media.

    ps. Not saying people shouldn't speak out when crazy stuff happens, I just have a personal grudge with ESPN's transformation in the last couple years into a half political/half sports platform. Whole different topic tho.

    It certainly has the potential to end up in flames, but it is silly to say there is no point in this thread. I know many people who are passionate about this exact topic.

    Agreed. Not pointless. Extremely flamable.... flipping heck yeah. I'm glad its been quite civil so far. Pat yourselves on the back for that lads. A thread about Trump and neo-nazis didnt' turn into a shit storm. That is definitely saying something!

    This is implying far too much of the voting populace. The sad reality is that many that voted for him didn't know what they were voting for.
    He's a reality TV President -- folks tuned in for a moment or two, but never really did any research or though about the consequences of things might be. "Hilary for Prison" and "MAGA" were clever enough slogans, and unfortunately, the Democrats tried to win with logic and a platform. Folks didn't want to think -- they opted for "American Ninja Warrior" over a documentary film. Now we've got this.

    The world legit gave Trump a tap, a layup, an empty netter, whatever you wanna call it for him to say the right thing with Neo-Natzi and he still screwed it up. How do you do that? He could have gone up and said, “bloopy blooop bloop. They bad guys. Neo-Natzi bad” and he would have been more right.

    8months into his presidency and they are on the verge of nuclear war, and race tensions are at an all time modern day high.

    I don't know blayze, nor am I trying to put words in his mouth, but I kind of agree with blayze here. My point is that even though this is "the lounge", it's a fantasy hockey/sports site. Facebook has gotten so bad, I barely log in to that anymore. I've blocked so many people/things on there just because I don't want to constantly have every persons views on every political issue spewed constantly in my face. Of course I could choose to just see a post like this and move on, but maybe this just isn't the platform for it?
    Again, I'm not trying to be critical, but I feel like there have been so many political posts on here lately. All I want to do is read up on is fantasy hockey etc.
    Maybe I'm in the minority on that thought

    I understand what you're saying. I don't follow politics that closely and it was so apparent how awful of a president Trump would be. So then you have a bunch of ignorant citizens combined with actual Trump supporters which made up nearly half the voting total. Not much better.

    By the way, even though Trump's disapproval rate is the highest in history you still have 85% approval rates in Alabama. WTF is wrong with those people? Tell me 1 positive thing Trump has done?

    Ok here is my respectful "spew"
    For the first time in my life I am embarrased to be an American. Donald J Trump has no redeeming qualities. He is a bully, thin skinned, takes responsibility for nothing, uninformed and an unequivocal liar. He is self absorbed to the point that all he wants is a win, regardless of how it negatively impacts people ( see lame attempt at health care reform). In short he is a Baffoon
    and in way over his head. I only hope that we Americans, no matter how frustrated we get, do not allow ourselves to make another mistake like this.
