Whoa, whoa, whoa - I thought we could only get attacked when we had a weak Democrat in office. This couldn’t possibly be true.

Oh, my bad - it’s still President Obama’s fault. I just have to wait for Fox News o come up with an excuse.

“Enough” he said. We’ll increase the increase vetting program. OK. But did he say the same kind of thing after the Las Vegas massacre? No way. We must keep our extreme fire weapons laws. We must keep encouraging the the NRA. We must keep the weapons industry healthy and growing. This is a third-world mentality besides being weak, cowardly, and stupid. Mr. President, members of the house and senate, you are all cowards and hypocrites.

But…but…“thoughts and prayers” are all we need after domestic terror incidents, as long as they involve guns. I guess the rules are different if these incidents involve “foreigners.”
And shouldn’t we wait to make decisions? You know, “now is not the time to discuss this” and "let’s not politicize this tragedy:?

No, not Obama’s fault…but the next best thing for this Effing Moron:

He goes straight to making it a partisan thing. Nothing to bring the country together in expressing our sadness over the deaths of these innocent bystanders. The jerk always needs a boogeyman and a punching bag. He’s disgusting.

So it’s the “Extremely Extreme Vetting Program” ™ now? Or are we on to the “Dorito Loco Taco Extemely Extreme Program”? I forget.

New York City - Sayfullo Saipov - legal immigrant, Uzbekistan - Truck - 8 killed, 11 injured - We must do something, extremely extreme vetting, Shumer’s fault, change the laws!!!

Las Vegas - Stephen Paddock - U.S. - Guns, Many guns, semi-automatic weapons with bump-stocks - 58 killed, 546 injured - meh, too early to talk about, it would be disrespectful, tax cuts.

That was my reaction, too. A white guy with a gun kills 50 people and it’s too soon to talk about how to address the root causes. A brown guy with a truck kills eight people and we have to keep all brown people out of the country.

As usual, Drumpf has it ass-backwards. Clearly, the way to deal with this is to eliminate bike paths.

DON’T politicize an attack when it involves a gun. That would be wrong. DO politicize an attack when it involves a Muslim.

It’s right there in the Constitution. Just like Roy Moore said: The First Amendment bans Islam.

So two terrorist attacks in NYC with two sitting Republican Presidents. Cause and effect?

Sorry when I read through the first time I thought you wrote "meh, too early to talk about, it would be disrespectful, to tax cuts. My bad.

So when are Trump & Co. going to up their game from “extreme vetting” of those wanting to come in to “extreme vetting” of those already here?
And to make it constitutionally acceptable all of us will have to have our lineage gone through with a very nit picking comb. I’m sure they’ll get Cambridge Analytics to start with our current social media posts and then move backwards.

So, how did Melania Trump get her residency? Through the “diversity lottery”? Her “distinguished merit” as a nude model? Or did she simply overstay her visa and then marry a U.S. citizen? Trump is a hypocrite, in addition to his other fine qualities. “Extreme vetting” simply means “ban Muslims from entering the country.” Tuck Frump.

Sarah Hucksterbee SandWorm today:

It’s not too soon to talk about banning:

  1. All-non Caucasians
  2. All Bike paths
  3. All Trucks

What appeared to be handguns in his hands after he exited the truck were actually a paint gun and a pellet gun. I have a feeling that if he had done this in Florida or an gun fetish red state, they may have been real guns. New Jersey and New York make it pretty difficult to obtain or carry a gun. He was living in Patterson, New Jersey.

O/T this is too delicious to pass up. Read how Donnie Junior Mints got schooled on socialism, capitalism, and JK Rowling nails it in her tweet, again.

The Senate’s top Democrat is hitting back after President Donald Trump faulted him for an immigration program that Trump says allowed the man in the deadly New York City bike path attack to enter the United States.

Chuck Schumer says in a statement that “I have always believed and continue to believe that immigration is good for America.”

The New York lawmaker says Trump is “politicizing and dividing America, which he always seems to do at times of national tragedy.” Schumer says the president should focus “on the real solution — anti-terrorism funding” — an area that Schumer says Trump has proposed cutting in his most recent budget.
