I have two thoughts on this latest "controversy" with Trump. I wish I could take full credit for these, but I saw this mentioned elsewhere and I realized I agreed with it:
1. Somebody needs to stand up and say the President should only denounce people breaking the law, not American citizens who happen to have wrongheaded views. He's not the Commentator-in-Chief. We need to expect the President to faithfully execute the law and uphold the Constitution, not lecture us on the evils of racism. Obama was great at this, but sucked at doing his job. Trump actually knows how to get things done, so that's what he needs to stick to.
2. My theory on this conversation about taking down Confederate monuments is simple: Democrats need something to do. They have spent the last nine months talking up Trump/Russia, but that's going nowhere fast. They can't actually help with Obamacare reform because that would be like admitting it was a POS law in the first place, which it was, and they definitely don't want to seem cooperative with Trump. So this is the 2017 version of the North Carolina bathroom bill: bullshit non-issues meant to rile up the base of an ailing political party.
Tranny politics and Confederate-era statutes are all they have to talk about. It would be really awesome if they cared about something, you know, important.
