Odessa And Midland Shootings Reported | Talking Points Memo

Well, there are reports that one of the suspects is driving around in a postal service vehicle so, I think that before anyone starts going off about banning guns, why don’t we discuss banning the postal service first? I mean, how would this gunman get around without the postal service providing him with vehicles, right?

Wouldn’t banning the postal service solve far more problems that trying to victimize gun owners and other freedom loving Americans?

Edit: Oh, and I forgot to say “thoughts and prayers.” That always helps.

Now it’s one shooter—traffic stop where he shot a trooper, then kept on and eventually left his vehicle and hijacked a mail van, continuing to shoot people until he was shot dead.

Trump is too busy worrying about Mar-a-lago the great state of Florida to go to Texas. He’ll send Pence as soon as he gets back from Poland.

Nah. Just a good 'ol American crazy person. It’s far less traumatic to be killed by a crazy person. You hardly even feel dead.

He will go to the hospital and pronounce his popularity.

He needs to visit the funeral homes instead.
