âMy dear friend Steve Scalise took a bullet for all of us,â
âAnd because of him and the tremendous pain and suffering heâs now enduring â and heâs having a hard time, far worse than anybody thought â our country will perhaps become closer, more unified â so important. So we all owe Steve a big, big thank you.â
âToday a man on fifth avenue makes it back home due to the inspiring bravery of this congressman.â
âSteve Scalise took a bullet for all of us.â
So that makes it OK then? That unity comes about with guns? Didnât happen after Sandy Hook or Charleston.
Lovely sentiments, Donald, except youâre not being investigated because of a lack of unity in the country. Youâre being investigated because thereâs a very strong case to be made you did crimes. Unity has fuck-all to do with it.
He says this on the same day his re-election campaign (GAH!) is sending out emails about the need to defeat horrible, obstructionist Dems.
âI call on Cuba to come to the table and negotiate a new deal that is fair to their people and to our people. And also to Cuban-Americans.â
Because, you know, Cuban Americans arenât âour people.â
Doctors are mum on the day theyâll roll back the stone covering the entrance to Scaliseâs room.
âMy dear friend Steve Scalise took a bullet for all of us."
But more importantly, he took a bundle from the NRA.
Just like Cheddar CeauĹescu and the rest of this gun-sucking, NRA-wed, RICO-trashing mob of hypocrites.
Interesting how he mentioned Cuba allowing nuclear weapons 50+ years ago, but didnât mention Russia placing them there.
Motherfucker is really scraping the bottom of the barrel of the base base when he has to gin up support amongst the Miami Mafia.
âPolitico reported Thursday that a lobbyist for Tyson Foods who was also shot Wednesday, Matt Mika, remains in critical condition and will require additional surgeries, his family said Thursday.â Wait, Mika is a lobbyist, not just a âformer congressional stafferâ as he was initially reported? They let lobbyists play on their baseball team?
After reading that post, I was torn between digging up previous Scalise gun lobby statements or wishing him a safe recovery.
Right now, Iâm going for door #2
No Donald he took it for the NRA who wonât allow us to ban assault weapons and weapons of war .
We are supposed to accept this as the price we pay for freedom?
With all due respect
Go Fuck yourself Mr âshoot someone on 5th avenueâ.
â and heâs having a hard time, far worse than anybody thought â
lol. couldnât help your mouth from running, could you donnie
So the Scalise shooting is Trumpâs âwe have hit rock bottomâ moment about civility and violence?
Not Sandy Hook, the Pulse Nightclub massacre or the hundreds of other mass shootings over the last several years?
Not terrible news about Trumpâs changes to Cuban policy:
> Trump announces revisions to parts of Obamaâs Cuba policy
President Trump announced a new policy toward Cuba Friday that prohibits any commercial dealings with Cubaâs economically powerful military and somewhat limits the freedom of U.S. citizens to travel to the island, but leaves in place many changes implemented by his predecessor.
In a speech delivered in the heart of Miamiâs Little Havana, Trump declared an end to what the White House calls the Obama administrationâs policy of âappeasement.â The White House argues that any benefits of an opening to Cuba should âgo to the Cuban peopleâ and not the Cuban military and intelligence services.
The new directive, however, will not affect those elements of the normalization begun by Obama in December 2014 that are popular with younger Cuban Americans and others. Unlimited âfamilyâ travel and money sent to private Cubans on the island will remain unchanged.
