In a play for black votes, Trump also vowed to designate the KKK - but also Antifa - 'terrorist organizations,' he announced at an event in Atlanta Friday.

So even your link says that it is just a political play and you feel elated by that ?

Takes all kinds I guess.

and the Michigan Militia?

And Antifa!

Quote from link:

President Donald Trump told a 'Blacks for Trump' rally in Atlanta that the BLM movement is a 'mob' that is 'destroying many black lives'.

'The stated goal of BLM organization, people, is to achieve the destruction of the nuclear family, abolish the police, abolish prisons, abolish border security, abolish capitalism, and abolish school choice - that's what their stated goals are,' Trump told the rally on Friday.​

Good Job Mr. President.

so he didn't actually declare the KKK a terrorist group?

He vowed to do it. Of course we know what his vows are worth - including his marital ones - so I doubt any KKK member is losing any sleep over this.

Also from the link

“The speech and a fact sheet provided by Trump's campaign did not spell out how Trump would make good on his promises.”

Yes! It is about time a politician designates both as terrorist.

Right. When do you think it will actually happen ?

Until he actually does it I'm not going to believe it. I'm also not sure he actually can do that.

So he said that he’d do it on September 25th. It is now October 9th and he has yet to do it. He did ask them to “stand back and stand by” during the debate he showed up to while concealing his COVID status, though... Telling them to remain ready is basically the same as denouncing them, I guess.

Trump disavows

A good reference on The Presidents public statements on White Supremist, the KKK etc. This would be just a sample of the President denouncing such groups.

As for the two week time period, besides a debate and battle with covid - he might be a little busy. Just a sayin'

Just how many weeks does it take one to say they don’t support white supremacy? Or to denounce the KKK? He found the time to declare himself young and virile (gross BTW), to blame Obama for COVID and some other unintelligible steroid-induced Twitter tirade, and he had enough time to gasp and wheeze his way through an ego stroke interview with Rush Limbaugh, but couldn’t find a minute to say he denounces white supremacy? While he was signing blank papers for a photo op, he couldn’t have slid a “oh by the way, KKK and proud boys are terrorists” paper in there to give his autograph to?

The amount of cognitive dissonance that has to occur before that becomes even mildly believable is mind boggling. I admit that I don’t drink the Trump covfefe flavored Kool-Aid, but come on... You know how silly it sounds to say he hasn’t found the time to do it yet.

KKK are domestic terrorists. Proud Boys are also domestic terrorists. Nothing they espouse, stand for, or believe has to do with the American ideal and should be punished as a terroristic hate group. See? I just said it. ‘Twas the work of a moment.

The fact he hasn’t “gotten around to it yet” and you think it’s totally rational that one doesn’t have time to decry racial violence says a whole lot about the lot that signs on to his brand.

Cool, I guess. But my cop friend says that if you ever hear about a clan meeting of five people, you should know that four of them are law enforcement officers. If they ever try something, odds are they've already been infiltrated by local police who will be only too eager to drop the hammer on them. Let's see how tough the clan members are when they get sent to prison.

I don't think things will go the way you think they will. Remember prison is a microcosm of our society.

"The riot involved 300 white and Mexican inmates fighting against 100 Africa-American prisoners and started around 9.45 a.m. in the unit which houses 1,250."

Well, remember that serial monagamists have broken "vows" many times over--and Trump is no exception.

But he really "vowed" to call the KKK a terrorist organization? He must really be getting desperate. Not that I believe he'll follow through for one minute.
