I see the left as the loons. Liberals see the right as the loons, go figure.
Last time I checked, the 'left' wasn't trying to justify keeping kids in cages, or trying to excuse Trump calling neo-nazis "fine people".
The kids were not or are not being held in cages. The children that were being held or are being held because their parents broke our laws by coming across our borders illegally are or were being secured in large areas with chain length fencing as wallsso they could be observed and kept safe.
Interesting tactic... so you said the kids aren't being kept in cages, then you pretty much describe a cage when you are talking about how the kids are kept.
And you do realize that prior to Trump, people were often not actually detained. And when they were detained, efforts were made to keep families together.
Trump stating some of the white nationalists are fine people is not showing he is a racist.
Uhhh... yes it is.
Pretty much by definition a neo-Nazi cannot be a fine person, since they are racist scum bangs.
Do you not think there are plenty of minorities who would love to be the superior race and dominate over the white race.
There may or may not be minorities who believe in superiority of their own particular race/clan/group. But its an irrelevant point, because there are currently no mainstream Democratic elected officials saying those are "fine people" despite their views.
President Trump was just trying to be fair to all of the protestors...
Not sure why exactly a person needs to be "fair" to a neo-Nazi. They hold views that should be considered repugnant to anyone in civilized society.
by saying even a fine person can be protesting in the Southern States in support of not taking down statues and their confederate flags etc.
First of all, those statues and the confederate flags are themselves symbols of racism and oppression. Basically they are giving a big middle finger to black people, by saying "We think we were right to keep you as slaves, but we lost the war so the best we can do is glorify the struggle to keep you as chattel".
Secondly, keep in mind that those were not just ordinary protests:
- The rally was advertised to white nationalists as a "unite the right"
- People at the rally were chanting anti-Semitic slogans
- There were swastikas at the rally
Not sure about you, but if I'm
anywhere and I see someone break out Nazi flags and chanting anti-jewish slogans, I will leave immediately, regardless of whatever reason I happen to be there.
What happened to the lefts fight for gun control and kids not being shot and killed while at school?
Gun control advocates are still holding rallies to get their message out. One was just held this past weekend. Unfortunately, with a republican president and congress (supported by an NRA that has suspicious links to Russia...) it is unlikely much can be done.

Where's Isis these days. Nothing about Isis, why is that?
Probably because Obama managed to get rid of much of Isis' power.
Job growth in America and lower unemployment, not a peep about the good things Trump is accomplishing, just belly aching and a lot of B.S. So tiring!
In general, much of what happens in the economy in a president's first year is due to the policies of the previous administration. Yes, last year saw increases in employment, GDP and the stock market. But you know what? We also saw that under Obama too. In fact, did you know that job growth was actually HIGHER in the last year of Obama's tenure than it was in the first year under Trump?
Of course, now that Trump has been around for over a year and has actually started to enact his policies, what do we see? Stock prices have pretty much leveled off (we don't see Trump bragging about the DOW any more, do we), and the federal debt has gone up by around $1 trillion. And who knows what will happen once Trump's trade war starts to expand.
