The thing is not even in something as straight forward as this do he dares to criticize Trump. If he is afraid of backlash from his constituents, well then what a huge shithole is the 1st District of LA.

If you have to explain it, clearly it wasn’t a joke. Scalise is clearly trying to do some “clean up.” Bastard!

…and the Republican Mob rushes in to defend the Con Man. The joke, if it was one was in montementaly bad taste. It encourages violence and strips the Presidancy of what little dignity has been preserved.

“It’s obvious he was not encouraging his supporters to engage in attacks, and not one person harassed the numerous media reporters who were present.”

Clearly, the guy who shot up Scalise’s softball game needed better weapons training.

(That was just a joke!)

You know this how? Trump didn’t say it was a joke or apologize for it. Scalise may have wanted to say, “Trump is a joke”.

Everything’s a joke. The supreme court’s a joke. The Constitution’s a joke. Elections are a joke. Oh wait, Kanye is serious. My bad.

You’d think getting shot and having a near death experience would give someone some insight, maybe some depth.

I guess you have to have something inside besides ambition for that to be so.

These guys slay me!!!

With the grisly, macabre, grotesque event of Khashoggi’s murder and butcher I think we’re all shocked and in disbelief that the President of the US could be so dismissive of it. It’s so horrible that it’s almost acceptable to deal with it with sick humor. People who deal with a lot of death and grisly shit, cops, military personnel, EMT’s and other first responders are almost forced to cut the gravity of the situations with black humor. Khashoggi’s murder puts us all in that situation. What Trump said about body slamming that reporter was no more a joke than the bilaws of the KKK. Those who try to protect him in this or his avoidance of dealing with the Turkey Bonesaw Massacre are as sick as he is.

I wonder if he first ran that tweet by his friends at the European American Unity and Rights Organization.

In any event, nice failed stab at whataboutism, Stevie.

On the same day this asshole was shot and survived and was celebrated when he came back to his workplace, a friend of mine was killed in a workplace shooting. No one he knew celebrated anything.

We’re going to see moron turn on aides and supporters and Rs in general when Dems dominate during the midterm elections. It’ll be their fault we won, he’ll say through unhinged tweets, and with any luck and if the goddess of elections is looking down on us, those same Rs who he’ll abuse will turn against him when it’s time vote to impeach.
