Trump Should Condemn White Supremists -- Really!

As reported in the NY Times on 9/13/17,  Congress just passed a bill instructing Trump to condemn white supremacists!  Add to that,  racists, anti-Semites and the Ku Klux Klan.  But what about Antifas and nuts on the left?

Do our legislators in Congress really think that a bill like this will finally get their reputation out of the toilet?  Their bill is so obviously demagogic.  And, these people we have elected don't seem to see that.  Why didn't they add to their list of people the president should condemn pedophiles, mass murderers and Islamic terrorists?  And, what about nations that imprison reporters, and torture them, and, indeed, kill them.  Why stop with white supremacists?

I think one must be pretty warped to identify with the white supremacy movement.  But, if one were a white supremacist, I believe such a person would be really impressed and flattered to find that he and his ilk had come this far in America - - - that his group had caused Congress to feel the need to pass a bill telling the president, what we already know; namely, that he, along with a vast majority of the American people,  despise and condemn white supremacists and other hate groups.  Passing such a bill puts white supremacists clearly on the map.  Is this what Congress wants to do  . . . . to make them so very much more important than they actually are?

Countries everywhere have haters.  Sometimes they become a threat.  Sometimes not.  I don't see them growing in numbers in our country.  Indeed, as it now stands, I believe they are quite inconsequential.  But, they certainly do know how to get attention and generate publicity.  And, in this, the Congress is being most useful.

But Congress, as I see it, doesn't care if they boost the importance of the white supremacists.  Their only interest is to diminish Trump.  From Liberals, I would expect no less.  But what are the Republicans doing joining them in their effort to besmirch Trump?  Shame on them.  Thank goodness we now have a president with the stamina to rise above  party politics.

If the  Congress wants to do something, why don't they sign a tax bill?   Why don't they pass a bill straightening out our immigration system?  There are so many other things that the Congress needs to be doing.  Is white supremacy the only thing these jokers can focus on?
