The BBC response is “spot-on” just another day in the USA.*
We’re a sick society.

Still feel kind of numb. Still can’t find words to express my disgust of this whole thing, the atrocity, the NRA, the GOP, all those enjoying dancing on the losses. Although, I suspect they would most certainly not be allowed to print here if there were perfect words to put it.

…No ‘thoughts and prayers …and uhhhhhhhh …what’s that other one…uhhhhh
oh yeah! hearts’ .going out to the family and loved ones of the victims from the Trump camp?
You gonna “kill the family” Donald?
Fascists love a good “Reichstag Fire” situation.
It allows them to demagogue to their hearts content without ANYBODY in the press pushing back for fear of being labled “unpatriotic” or “soft on terrorism”.
Hermann Goering had it absolutely right when he stated: “The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.”

It’s ALL about the victims and their families. Because The Donald is PRAYING for them (and first responders, too!). All the other GOP candidates are praying for them (and first responders, too!). But voters know that God listens to The Donald’s prayers more because, hey, he’s The Donald. So if you really care about the victims and their families (and the first responders, too!), you’ll shift your vote to The Donald.
If this is what Donnie would look like as a result of being executed by an electric chair I’m on board.
Trump had better hope he never makes it to the White House. Once there his bravado will no longer cut it. He’s going to have to deliver on his ridiculous promises and he can’t do that.

On a scale somewhere between my loathing of the MSM and non-voters, there exists the GOPers taking advantage of the effects of the All-Volunteer Military.
I was never a fan of the Draft (especially when I was called up). But, here, its absence has removed people 19-26 from politics (except for a minority). In addition, for people born after 1955 (hundreds of millions of people), the connection between warmongering and “a citizen’s DUTY to serve” is GONE.
This means that in this instance about shootings and poll numbers helping Trump (which has a military implication), instead of Trump encountering some enraged 19-26 year-olds screaming “WARMONGER!!!”, he, instead, has no blowback from this at all.
That goes also for that Sociopath, Ted Cruz.
My Dad’s death was hastened by his military service. When I see videogame commercials (advertising war-centric products which allow fat, pimpled, lazy and disengaged 20-somethings to IMAGINE some connection with a thing–COMBAT–which hastened my Dad’s death)…my wife can tell you,…that there is a screed of enraged Spanish DEFINITELY unprintable.
That the Republicans can be allowed to Warmonger–all while those who would FIGHT the wars are not paying the remotest bit of voting/political attention–is a phenomenon of surreal proportions.

That’s not the only great idea he has for stopping terrorism.
After a series of coordinated terrorist attacks struck Paris in mid-November, Trump amped up that rhetoric, calling for a national database of all Muslims living in the U.S.
San Bernardino shows us what an important antiterrorism tool a database like that would be. After law enforcement identified a suspect in an attack or attempted attack, we would be able to search the database and look at the subject’s name. That would be Greatness.
Reminds me of throwing the Emperor into the center of Death Star 2.0. Good times.

Trump might be right about his spike in poll numbers because he appeals to the lowest common denominator of Americans: the under educated, under achievers, those that feel slighted due to their own inadequacies, etc.

commonsense. people that believe they benefit from terrorism, won’t work very hard to stop it.
Trump retweets that he benefits from mass murder. At least we now know he’s capable of the truth. #smallthings

For me, the GIF captures perfectly the spasmodic, Tourette’s-like nature of Trump’s thought processes, as though what was coming out of his pie hole was the involuntary result of being repeatedly subjected to severe electrical shocks.
