'Enough is Enough' LA Times Editorial

[bobabode]

"These are not normal times."

"The man in the White House is reckless and unmanageable, a danger to the Constitution, a threat to our democratic institutions.

Last week some of his worst qualities were on display: his moral vacuity and his disregard for the truth, as well as his stubborn resistance to sensible advice. As ever, he lashed out at imaginary enemies and scapegoated others for his own failings. Most important, his reluctance to offer a simple and decisive condemnation of racism and Nazism astounded and appalled observers around the world.

With such a glaring failure of moral leadership at the top, it is desperately important that others stand up and speak out to defend American principles and values. This is no time for neutrality, equivocation or silence. Leaders across America — and especially those in the president’s own party — must summon their reserves of political courage to challenge President Trump publicly, loudly and unambiguously.

Enough is enough.

Some people clearly understand this. On Monday, after Trump suggested that “alt-left” counter-protesters were as much to blame as Nazis and white supremacists for the fiasco in Charlottesville, a courageous CEO — Kenneth Frazier, the chief executive of Merck & Co. — resigned from the president’s American Manufacturing Council in protest. His departure, which the ever-gracious president greeted with derision, led to an exodus of other commission members." LATimes

Maybe they could put a wax Obama in the chair since that is about what was accomplished when he was really there.

OK, let's go back to 10% unemployment and a cratered stock market. Might as well give up half of our auto industry while we're at it. Then again, the good will Obama built up with our allies over eight years has just about been spent in seven months.

More about the fact that a large portion of the working class is making no more and sometimes less than they were 20 years ago.

If they open enough McDonalds I guess everybody will have a job.

Sorry Charlie, this democrat isn't some flea brained commie who thinks nationalizing everything in sight is a good way to run a country or your electronics supply store for that matter.

You forgot Big Auto while you were spouting bullshit about 'banks and Wall St.' Where do you think capital comes from, your mattress fulla Krugerrands and Maple Leafs?

Try again.

Obama had nothing to do with this, nor did Bush, or Clinton. And Trump can promise the moon to poor disenfranchised working class white bigot idiots all day long and he won't be able to deliver a fucking thing. Because globalization and technology are beyond the reach of any president you disingenuous dickweed.

Capitalism along with whatever level of "free trade" this country has is what has generated 20 years of no job growth and stagnating working class wages in this country.

Wake the fuck up.

What a ridiculous statement. The man gave you a Heritage inspired healthcare model and saved the economy when we were headed for disastrous recession/depression not seen since the Great Depression.

Keep those blinders screwed down tight, zero.
