Andy's comment is completely appropriate and right on target. If Trump were to crush the anti-Trump demonstrators with machine guns, mass torture, tanks, barrel bombs and napalm, then to be consistent, barrel-bomb-pacifist organisations like UNAC should then raise Trump to the status of great progressive icon. It is Joe's comment that is inappropriate, comparing the mazing, heroic revolutionary Syrian people to "ISIS and the Nusra Front." Most people with even the vaguest understanding know by now that ISIS is as much an enemy of the Syrian rebels as is the Assad regime, indeed that no-one has done as much to drive back ISIS as the rebels have.

I’m not sure what Andrew Pollack is trying to say here but let me make it clear that UNAC and the other groups he mentioned have not “denounced the terrorists rioting in the streets of New York,….” Maybe he is trying to make a joke or maybe he caught the Trump bug and believes the truth is not important. Or maybe he is trying to equate ISIS and the Nusra Front with the people who are resisting the Trump election. In any case his strange comment is not appropriate.

Subject: [ufpj-activist] "Not Our President"

Thousands of youths are in the street calling for regime change in the US, challenging the legitimacy of a Donald Trump presidency.

We have just learned that Vladimir Putin has sent word to Trump of his approval should the President-elect feel it necessary to order shooting of protesters, citing the US's right to self-determination and sovereignty over its own internal affairs.

UNAC/IAC/WWP/Socialist Action have all denounced the terrorists rioting in the streets of New York, Portland, the Bay Area, and many other cities.

Stay tuned for more on this developing story.
