On Tuesday afternoon, we learned yet again that the president of the United States is against neo-Nazis, which is nice. They re very rough, he said at an impromptu Trump Tower press conference by which he likely meant some of the people he saw on TV in Charlottesville this past Saturday had beards and leather jackets and swastika tattoos and were overweight.
The night before, by contrast, Trump said there had been some very good people rallying with a permit by a statue of Robert E. Lee in Charlottesville. Maybe he thought so because the photographs we all saw showed clean-cut young men in Polo shirts and Dockers.
The rest of us also saw them engaging in Nazi salutes and carrying torches.
Those images seem to have eluded the president.

I think I'll just ignore this whole thing in the hopes it will go away. There are at least four sides to this deal, all of them wrong and at least two in utter bad faith.
