President Obama breaks record for most liked tweet in history with his response to Charlottesville

[hal2kilo]

Yet the words mean so much to a country in political distress.

That takes leadership which no longer exists, unless you count an orange idiot punching out idiotic statements on Twitter with his tiny hands as leadership.

I absolutely do not. But if there were a show of leadership it was the words Obama tweeted out.

That quote is nice but is it saying humans are not tribal by nature? Someone skipped history.
Humanity has spent its existence classifying "others" and dispensing with them.

I agree that the tendency for tribalism is encoded in our genes, but how a person defines their own tribe is determined by their environment.

Dear lord. Great tweet...but it actually saddens me to realize our current situation and how quickly it went down hill.

In times of moral crisis in a society, a moral coward is not the ideal leader.

...in other words the words matter less than the speaker. Which is and has been my point.

I disagree. Trump had the opportunity to be held in higher regard, right in front of him and on this issue, and he squandered it because his words were weak. He tried to play the middle on an issue where there is no middle. You either believe that it's ok to kill human beings for no other reason than they belong to a different "tribe," or you don't.

Why is he so creepily staring into a child's bedroom?

Roflmouth putting his genetically superiority on display again here.

It's not a bedroom it's a pizza place dummy

oh that's better

Trump has to be nearly to the point of self combustion over this. For someone so obsessed with undoing everything Obama, now he if faced with the shame of the former President having the most popular tweet ever without the ability to undo it. Unless he suddenly buys Twitter. Of course you actually have to have money for that, and I have serious doubts about the Donald having very much of that.

Donald already purchased about half of his "followers"--he just needs to purchase more.

Donald was severely out-presidented by Obama and now he's even been out-Twittered.

Putin could loan him the money.

LOL, who needs to win elections, Democrats can just make popular tweets

True ... I can feel his veins popping one by one, slowly growing into the acceptance that he is the failure his father always believed him to be and that noone loves him.
