Discussion: White House: 'Absurd' To Suggest KS Shooting Linked To Trump's Rhetoric

Yes, it is—but it wasn’t I who made the original remark.

Anyone want to bet what the White House response would have been if Srinivas Kuchibhotla had shot Adam Purinton? They’d be slapping a travel ban on India, even if Kuchibhotla was a U.S.citizen.

Trump oozes hatred from every pore, so tell me again why it’s absurd.

Not our fault if some poor, demented fool actually thinks Trump believes what he says.

as a die-hard trombone fan, I couldn’t agree more!

When I think “muted trombone,” I think of Charlie Brown in the principal’s office. That’s a trombone played through a mute, isn’t it?

No offense to the musical range and capabilities of the mighty and beautiful trombone that it can evoke a generic droning “adult” so perfectly as well …

How high above sea level is WH-south?

You must be new here.

Hahaha. I know these are not correct. But they are fun.

A bannon of hateful, ignorant idiots.

Since 2013 and you haven’t noticed…

It was more faux outrage than anything. Lots of strange noises can come out of a trombone. Tommy Pederson played with Spike Jones’ City Slickers and made all manner of weird sounds. Peter Schikele stuck a bassoon bocal and reed on a trombone to make a tromboon, combining the worst features of both instruments.

If my memory is working right, Hoyt Bohannon did the principal’s voice on the Charlie Brown 'toons. It is done with a stem-in harmon muted trombone and a plunger instead of a hand. I think there was some additional post-processing, but I’m not certain of that.

Where are the 3:00 AM tweets denouncing white idiots?

Harmon sounds right. I used one with the trumpet now and then way back when I played the trumpet.

That’s some outstanding knowledge. Love me some P.D.Q. Bach!

That is a very nice quotation, thanks !

Don’t worry. Trump’ll find some incompetent flunky soon enough to take the post.

If Trump didn’t inspire the Kansas shooting, then the idea that ISIS inspires the San Bernardino shooting must be absurd also.

Nattering nabobs of negativism.

I think Mar-A-Lagoon is about 10 feet above sea level.

Great location for an off-shore drilling site.

This admin is the absolute epitome of

Trump to victim’s family:
“You brought this on yourself! If you had stayed in … (hey Kellyanne, where did you say they were from?) … where you belong, this wouldn’t have happened. Sad.”
