It has revived the struggle with the NRA who are now blaming government for the slaughter.

president is capable of standing up to anyone much less the NRA. He said the same thing almost word for word about DACA. I hope it happens but I don't think it will.

when he kicks a law-abiding immigrant out of the country and then follows due process later, it's not so good.

I don't think it matters what we do. He flip-flops because he says different things depending on who he's talking to but his actions depend on whichever faction of the Whitehouse actually has his ear.

someone the police know is dangerous but has no record. I mean the Parkland shooter passed a background check. NRA is blaming 'government'. What exactly do they want government to do if not get the rifle away and then adjudicate. I mean he was saying things online that could have gotten the gun away from him but he should not have had an AR-15 before he said the things online. He never should have passed a background check. So many things went wrong.

with conservatives. He said he would meet with them and travel with them if it meant he could get something done on African debt and the like. Guns has been a long term concern of mine though I was not doing anything other than handing out or signing postcards for gun control in Canada 28 years ago. It is a big thing for us watching the US from the outside. Gun laws in no way have to be like they are you know. Human laws or banking or religions or countries are all human fictions. You can make them whatever you want. Your gun laws can be anything. They can be safer. The slaughter can stop.

Don't shy away for foul language on behalf of me. Tell it.

angry and venting on the long term damage Trump is doing to your country. Venting is the way to go. Don't keep those feelings inside. Here is a secret... when it is all over and you have your country back you'll be sharing your wisdom with the world because you get deeper for all the fear and anger. Keep venting. Keep fighting. And another 'greatest generation' will be born.

This is what he does. Puts this out, says something different a day later. It's all so confusing, and he can keep this up for weeks, and nothing gets done.

He is a travesty. I can't believe people voted for him.

Given the near proximity of his brain, farts unsettle everything.

Given the quality of his diet, farts occur regularly.
