Wow ...when Jack Welch, 3M, Johnson & Johnson ...Jamie Dimon ...fucking WALMART?!?! I bet 1/2 the white shirts worn in VA last weekend were bought at WALMART.

...this all after Elon Musk and Disney in the spring.

I can't imagine Trump being able to do much of anything now. In losing Wall Street and the notion of his being a "businessman's President," he's essentially lost whatever remnants of the GOP establishment that he had remaining. He's lost Congress in losing this type of corporate support (publicly traded companies!), so won't be getting anything passed now (not that he has yet).


But man, for a guy who claims to be the Creator of Jobs and Mover of Markets, he's stepped into a giant pile of dogshit.

And ....Breitbart is blaming the Jews for the disbanding. Predictably.
 
And before anymore CEO's bail on him he closes the council's down like the coward he is. What a jackass.

I quite reading Breitbart after Shapiro left, but I just went there and couldn't find anything about Breitbart blaming the Jews. Seems odd since an orthodox Jew is one of the more senior writers there. Do you have a link?
 
It was on Twitter yesterday; no way I'd be able to go back and find it. I don't think there was an article written and posted on the site, I think it was remarks made in response to the disbanding of the council.

To keep stirring the pot of racial enmity is good for business; keep the white workers fighting with the black workers and the hispanic workers and they're all too busy to unionize for better wages, working conditions, benefits, etc.

To get the pot boiling so you have an open race war is bad for business... commerce gets interrupted, authorities have to step in, there are boycotts, property destroyed, insurance premiums go up, cost of doing business increases.

It's a fine line, and the GOP has until now, walked it perfectly since Reagan's "States' Rights" speech in 1980 Mississippi. Trump, being both a shameless opportunist, and a fucking incompetent took it over the edge. but the GOP at some point obviously made their peace with him, expecting the rest of the party could keep it in line... and they mostly did that. even Republican governors and congressmen from the Deep South unequivocably condemned Charlottesville when Trump wouldn't.

I don't know if it will be enough though. the cops more or less have keep their guns holstered and batons and riot gear stored away when the KKK, and "alt-right" comes out to demonstrate. (it's obvious where many cops' sympathies lie)... will that change if it has to?
 
the guy who coined "Godwin's Law" came out in support of calling the current Nazis, Nazis link.

or course idiots on both sides of the political spectrum abuse the comparison, but it has been much more apt under Trump. His rise, with the conservatives initially shunning him and uniformly opposing him, before finally making their peace with him is a lot LIKE Hindenburg forming a government with Hitler in 1932, after the Nazis captured a plurality in the Reichstag. like the GOP establishment, first he vowed he'd never form a government with Hitler. Yet he rebuffed the liberal and center parties when they offered him AN olive branch... and threw Germany to the fascists.

The Nazis honored him for it... the airship Hindenburg crashing and burning in 1937 was amazing foreshadowing... Hollywood couldn't even write about that without looking too obvious!

it's not quoted anywhere - not the kind of thing that couldn't be easily verifiable. I doubt it's true. after a google search "Breitbart Trump disbands" this is the closest thing you can find to a mention of Jewish people in a Breitbart piece, and it's a quote from a NYT reporter about Trump advisor Gary Cohn...

is anyone saying it's inappropriate to call the demonstrator's nazis? I'm not sure he'd agree that using it to describe Trump's administration isn't an abuse of the comparison.

No, just pointing out his comments.

What are your criticisms of my comparison? Lest you misunderstand me, I'm not saying "Trump is Hitler" but there are more parellels between his rise to power and Hitler's rise, than any other president in recent memory. And I think that's true.

There's no institutional anti-Semitism in Trump's platform, but the US population is obviously different than 1930's Germany. Trump's scapegoats are Muslims, Mexicans, and blacks.

The #MAGA crowd wasn't as organized as The Brownshirts were. But it looks like the coalescing "white polo shirt and khaki" crowd would like to be.

There hasn't been a Reichstag fire (so far). But I'm Not sure big business, the intelligence agencies, and the Pentagon want to see Trump as our dictator.

I think it's not true that there are valid comparisons of his rise to power and Hitler's and people who pull the race card and play identity politics are fueling the divide more than Trump himself. The size of the neo-nazi, white nationalist and white socialist movements are tiny and meaningless (the most aggressive estimates would put them somewhere around .00024% of the population) and Trump didn't court them for votes to win the election. First of all because he's not racist and second of all because pandering to racists won't move the needle in an election - they're just too small and meaningless. The whole angry white voter thing has been thoroughly debunked, yet it's still the narrative. Democrats ignore the real reasons they lost the election to their own peril.

I think the reason we see so much about them and why the roaches are coming out into the daylight is due more to the left, the media in particular, legitimizing fascistic and racist movements of the left than anyone in Trump's administration saying or doing anything racist. The media threw gas on the fire and now all these idiots are out in the public square beating each other up and getting attention. How many protesters were in Charlottesville on either side or combined? I've tried to find estimates but there are none. You have probably the largest single demonstration of this human garbage, who came from all over the country and there's no data on how many were there - to me that indicates they're are a meaningless fringe movement. That's not so say they should be ignored - I think it's important to know these people exist and what they think and do.

like I said, I don't think it was an article posted on Breitbart's site and perhaps was quoting Bannon, but attributing to "Breitbart" or potential hearsay since, you know, it's the interwebs and not a court of law.

I think the inference is along the lines of -> The Jews run Wall Street and are forcing the hand of these CEOs based on the Nazis in VA last weekend ...it's a basic narrative to stir the remaining base of those predisposed to think that already.

Whether a Google search reveals a specific quote or not, it's been a message the AltRight (aside from the Breitbart site itself) has used increasingly over the years and "blaming the Jews" plays well for those who like conspiracy theories.

You know, how like George Soros is really running the world and controlled the Clintons.

like I said, there's no evidence of it so it probably didn't happen. Not only is there not a specific quote, there's literally nothing anti-semitic linked to Breitbart writers, editors or Bannon. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of real reasons not to like Steve Bannon or Breitbart (the site, not Andrew Breitbart) but calling a guy who employs or employed multiple orthodox jews an anti-semite or attributing anti-semitic messages to him or his organization is not one of them - it's lazy and it's wrong. Just do a web search for Joel Pollack's comments on Steve Bannon and whether he's an anti-semite.
