“‘I Need An Answer From The Government’”
"A Deafening Silence
Two Indian nationals were shot by a man yelling racial epithets. The president said nothing. That’s all we need to know about who matters in Trump’s America.

The only answer she will get from this administration is a notification of deportation order.

White House press secretary Sean Spicer said on Friday that it was “absurd” to suggest any connection between President Donald Trump’s rhetoric and the shooting.
Let’s see, Republicans claim there is a connection between movies, video games, heavy metal music, rap music and violence…but the President’s rhetoric? Nope.

My heart is breaking for this woman and her family. India is such a wonderfully deep, complex and ancient country, but most of its people have skin some shade of brown. I am at the same time outraged at the party in power and its patron, the NRA, who cannot even think about a link between their actions and philosophy of ‘guns everywhere’ as having consequences other than profitable ones for the gun manufacturers. This “lone wolf” murderer is like no different than the Colorado Springs murder at Planned Parenthood. Words can and do break bones, and hearts, and bodies.

Wife Of Man Killed In Kansas Shooting: ‘I Need An Answer From The Government’
Good luck with that. Every one of these incidents gives Trump more street crews with his deplorables base.

That is exactly how Trump supporters want others to think.

THIS, I believe is where the rubber truly meets the road regarding multinational companies such as Garmin that create GPS maps that set up shop in America. If it gets to the point where a company can’t ensure the safety for its multi-cultural citizens because of the Rump regime, I don’t see how certain parts of this country will be able to attract them there.
In what will be coined eupahmistically, the badlands.

Thanks for saying this. I was trying to figure out how to articulate it.
After the Muslim ban, west coast high tech companies are already strategizing to relocate some operations to Vancouver, B.C. because they have already had staff effected and do not want to be caught flat footed.

He allegedly shouted "get out of my country"
Ignorant racist asshole emboldened by the Trump rhetoric. A Deplorable whom Donnie has entitled. I just can’t stand this. And frankly, I don’t understand why there isn’t more being made about the rise in hate crimes since Trump started his nasty campaign to Make America White Again.
I hope these families are getting some help, legal and otherwise.

It makes me so ashamed that this president has nothing to say other than “It wasn’t my fault.”
All I can think of is how Obama would have handled this.

Any word from Kansas elected officials? That good Christian Brownback? Inspector Javert Kobach?

I think that she means that she needs the answer reiterated because this is why we have a Racist President and his organization to a T.
This poor woman probably can’t get her head around the fact that this is exactly what the POTUS wants and is behind, I know it’s very hard for me to comprehend, but this is the elected President’s worldview and if he wants to be re-elected, he’ll only escalate and drag the minions with him.
The answer is clear, her ability to accept and deal with it are the unfortunate problems.

Not one bit. I read that this morning and I would have said and done the same thing he is doing.

Spicer is such an assh*le. He didn’t even bother to say something weaselly about bad people misunderstanding the orange guy.
A lot of people in this administration will not be cleared for international travel once it’s over.

Somehow, I just can’t see racist hatred coming from this gentleman.
He looks like a typical well-bred Kansas Republican who attends Westboro Baptist with Kris Kobach every Sunday.
