Discussion: Donald Trump: Charleston Shooting Is 'Incomprehensible'

Discussion for article #237610

No, The Donald, this is not ā€˜Incomprehensible.ā€™ African-Americans have been killed en masse since slavery was the law of the land. Nothing new, just in this case it occurs while you are a ā€œpresidential candidateā€ and have to make a statement.

ā€œThe tragedy in South Carolina is incomprehensible.ā€

Now where have I heard something like that before?

ā€œI donā€™t think that anybody could have predicted that these people
would take an airplane and slam it into the World Trade Center, take
another one and slam it into the Pentagon, that they would try to use an
airplane as a missileā€
Condoleeza Rice - Press conference, May 16, 2002.

Have no regard for Trump - he is inferior to something that I would scrape off the bottom of my shoe - but he did a better job of simply responding to this than the pandering opportunistic scum Santorum and Giuliani

Clueless. Just clueless.

Well, given that the shooter told a survivor words and phrases that came directly from Trumpā€™s announcement the other day, that should hardly be the case.

Thereā€™s a Confederate flag flying over the capitol building in Columbia, SC that honors a history of slavery. Thereā€™s a slave auction museum in Charleston, SC that serves a s a reminder that blacks were considered as sub-human, mere property.

Incomprehensible? Not at all.

Its incomprehensible that someone would do something to take the lime light off of him. Doesnā€™t this guy know that ā€œthe Donaldā€ is running for President now?? How dare he step into his news cycle!!!

What is ā€œincomprehensibleā€ to this bright light, Americans who donā€™t have their heads up their asses simply call ā€œWednesdayā€ (in America).

Letā€™s hope The Donald doesnā€™t try to shed any light on this tragedy. Itā€™ll become more incomprehensible than it already is. 45 minutes and two tons of confetti, balloons, banners, t-shirts, posters and buttons later weā€™d all forget why we cared.

Trump: Charleston Shooting Is Incomprehensible.

To be fair, even a toaster is incomprehensible to Donald.

The first sentence of the story says it happened at a ā€œcollege.ā€ Facts matter!!

If only it was ā€œincomprehensibleā€ but anyone who listens to Fox News for an instant knows that not to be true, between Hannity, Oā€™Reilly, Megyn ā€œthe girl was no saint, eitherā€ Kelly, not to mention their parade of racist guests over the years, it is very comprehensible.

Is that what Trumpā€™s tweet says? (I ask because I cannot see it.) Iā€™m not sure whether the first sentence of the story is paraphrasing Trumpā€™s tweet, or whether it was a form of typo, since in the next paragraph, the story explains what the tweet was in reference to.

From the looks of things, Iā€™d say even a toupee is incomprehensible to Donald.

No itā€™s not ā€œincomprehensible.ā€ Itā€™s entirely, 100% comprehensible. Racism is alive and well and thriving in Amurikkka. we just watched a 21 year old racist, who spent the past 7 yearsā€¦fully 1/3 of his lifeā€¦immersed in The Great White Freakout, the rise of the Teatrolls, the something something 'illegals" and all the other shit weā€™ve had to deal with and bear witness to because a black man was elected POTUS and demographic shifts are taking away white majority, power, privilege and primacy, particularly for conservatives.

ā€œIncomprehensibleā€? No. FUCKING PREDICTABLE.

Church! It happened in a church. Is the author of this article blind, insensate, or merely stupid?
