âAfter Massacre at Pulse, GOP Senators âStonewallâ on Trumpâ
FIFY.
TPM and the rest of the internet have got to STOP making IT all about Donald Trump. Seriously, youâve got to STOP IT.
âI have been on a train and I havenât had a chance to look at any of those,â Wicker said.
"I expect the president will not resign," he added (Roger Wicker-R, Senator from MS)
Gee, ya think? Come on, dude â Trump is your guy, you and your ilk trained your people to be just like him.
Look, partisanship aside, I want to point to what most everyone is bypassing in this whole debate: Radical religion. Not radical Islam, radical Christianity, etc., â but radical religion. Itâs appearing more and more likely that this young man, Omar Mateen, was either gay, bisexual or transgenderâthough, most likely a gay manâand that he just couldnât come to terms with that in a healthy way due, in very large part, to the religion in which he was raised and how it was drilled into his head how homosexuals are worthy of death. He internalized that, like so many poor souls â and look at the results of that self-hatred, taught to him by one of the worldâs biggest and most powerful religions, and fostered somewhat by a complicit society at-large. That is the other half of this real tragedy here, the other being (obviously) the innocent victims in his rage.
Come on, America, letâs listen to our better angels. We need to talk about two things: Radical religion and its effects on us individually and as a society, and our puritanical views on sex and sexuality. Thank you.
Cornyn said. âThis is really a counterterrorism debate. This isnât just about guns.â
Maybe not, Johnny-boy, but letâs think about this: If Mateen had tried to act out whatever the hell his problem was with a soup spoon, say, whaddya think the death toll would have been?
I agree.
But, you know, the problem is that itâs like driving by a really bad car accident and NOT rubbernecking. You know itâs wrong (or at least tasteless/insensitive) and you feel really guilty for doing it, but you still look⌠Itâs like you just canât NOT look.
So people look, the clicks are counted and TPM and others print more, knowing itâs wrong (or at least tasteless/insensitive) and they feel really guilty for doing it, but they canât NOT print it.
Trumps entire campaign is based on the presumption that his supporters are too stupid to know fact from fiction.
Well, letâs face it, his core supporters, yeah, more than half of them really are too stupid to know fact from fiction. His big problem is heâs running the general campaign just like he ran his primary campaign: going after the stupid. Thankfully, the rest of us arenât so stupid. 
Donald is flushing all the GOP down the toilet.GOOD !
Has Trump withdrawn from the race for the Presidency?
" this guy was not on the watch list. Heâd been investigated twice and the FBI had cleared him so he was not on the watchlist," Cornyn said. âThis is really a counterterrorism debate. This isnât just about guns.â"
Letâs the FBI vetted him twice and heâs still able to legally purchase guns. Cronyn is wrong. Itâs totally about guns.
And notice that those at charge at TPM completely ignore these comments about how TPM has truly worsened over recent years?
Trump is one of the great dangers facing this countryâŚThank You TPM for informing the publicâŚ
âIâm just not gonna commentâŚâ
Notice that common statement being used by GOPers yesterday? Clearly the message was sent out en masse to use that phrasing. More than a coincidence that the GOPers were saying the same thing. And of course none of the media bothered to point it out.
Wrong! The spotlight as got to remain on Trump 24/7 until this Godawful election is over and he is booted back to his reality show.
Expanding surveillance abilities is a knee-jerk reaction. It certainly wouldnât have done anything to prevent the Orlando shooting. The reason the FBI didnât do anything about this guy despite two sessions of questioning is that, apparently, he hadnât committed any crime and gave no indication of an intent to commit a crime. At that point, what would law enforcement do? No one is going to devote resources to continuing to watch the hundreds, if not thousands, of people who are in that situation.
Short of preventive detention (and turning this country into a version of Soviet Russia), the only legislative initiative that might have an impact is stricter gun control.
Please pay no attention to that yellow stripe down my back and the wads of NRA cash in my pockets
and they all ignore the fact that there have been 6000 gun deaths this year alone . Thatâs about 30 a day . We have a mass murder in this country every day that every one of them is blind to because they are spread out. I wish there was a solution , but this country has lost itâs collective mind because freedom
Odd isnât itâno one in the GOP seems to want to comment on what Trump said. Yet, if Hilary had said something like this during say, the Dumbya administration, the same loser group would be calling for her to be guillotined.
The stench of hypocrisy is so overwhelming Iâm surprised reporters can stand being next to these assholes.
Gosh, Republicans, youâre struggling to answer for Trump, but you really should be struggling to answer for why youâre nominating the SOB in the first place.
