Want to make things more secure, PREVENT it from happening in the first place. Increase funding for mental health and make background checks more stringent. You don't need more guards, you need more guardrails.....

I’ve always wondered, going back to 2015/6, why the media weren’t making an issue about this. I mean, ours won’t because of the rules about impartiality on TV and radio. Over there that’s less of an issue. Is it about avoiding potential lawsuits? Some lingering sense of trying to deferential? I don’t get it.

What was that line in The Onion again? “Nothing can be done about this in the only country where it regularly happens”. Urgh.

Our news media is a corporate industry. Corporations like people who promise them big tax breaks and payouts, which Trump constantly does. It's not profitable for them to go against him that much. Everything is about the almighty dollar.
 

wonko the sane?

You may test that assumption at your convinience.

Oh and his followers are brainwashed thugs waiting for the command to commit heinous act of violence for a leader that will never acknowledge them.

It's almost impressive how he can talk so much without actually saying anything.

He said that the government is going to have so much money from taxing foreign nations that they are going to pay for child care for people who are not able to tax foreign nations, right?

No. His answer is clear enough and perfectly Trumpian. The answer is "Who care about child care?"

Even that would've been an actual answer. (A terrible one, but still.) He didn't even give that. He gave a long-winded word salad that almost pretended to be within a hundred miles of a real sentence.

And you all are shocked? Or maybe just tired?

Anyway: it's also why he's losing, because even his cult is tired of him not having ******* anything except bitching.

I am surprised by the question, particularly aimed at a Republican. Few balk at the idea of having a plan to make medicine or gasoline or housing more affordable, because it seems like fantastic piles of money are being made in those industries, but ain't nobody getting rich off of child care. I do understand that it is a difficult expense for working class families who have to keep their eye on whether both parents are taking home more than they are spending on it, but the people doing the work aren't making a big margin either. If we are talking about some kind of subsidy for it, there is no way a Republican running for office is going to do that. I guess there is some value in pressing them to admit it.

Can we stop pretending he'll ever face consequence now?
I'm willing to keep the pretense going a bit longer.

Or defeat?
hug that noise. He's finally on the ropes, and your doom-and-gloom ass still wants to throw in the towel? Here's a novel idea: how 'bout you stop being such a mopey mother****er, make sure that you and all of your Trump-hating friends and relatives are registered to vote, and then make sure that you all goddamn vote?! Or are you so committed to this bit that you'd rather everyone get sentenced to life in a Trump regime just so you won't run out of jive to bitch and moan about?

hug, dude. Just... enough already. Post that jive somewhere else.

Maybe Paladin is a Russian agent, hired to post cynical takes and discourage people.

Remember how it turned out Russia had paid people to go on Tumblr and pose as social justice types, poisoning the discourse with anger and divisiveness? I do.
