I am only sorry that an innocent person had to die.

Meanwhile, I want Trump alive and well for the election in November.

The authors of our current discontent have preached violence for years and promoted tirelessly the gunnuttery. Now that it has borne its inevitable fruit, should I offer thoughts and prayers? If I believed in such, I might do so...but keep to myself the content.

….when referring to gun violence. The mere fact that it repeated so often to me makes it a false statement. I get the intent of using it, but at some point it is just inaccurate, and I do wish public officials chose another phrase. The sad truth is gun violence has a place until we make it otherwise.

Maybe the fact that he didn’t take the time to carve out something more original says something.

Doesn’t mean I’m forgiving the media transgressors, though.

It’s a war for eyeballs, and all but Lawrence and Joy have lost mine.

Calling for calm right now is really important.

Thanks for the post - reminding us of what a great man President Obama is. Just like President Biden is, also.

You know that if the shoe was on the other foot, they would not be as gracious. Heck, some are already blaming Biden, even though the cultists are the violent ones.

That is the biggest difference between the GOP and Democratic parties. One is made up of human beings that give a damn about other people and the other is the GOP.

always seem to hurt Democrats more than Republicans..

But it's too late for Obama and too soon while Trump** is alive.

In amerikkka the gun is more valuable and important than any life. When other countries have had mass shooting with high powered weapons, they have almost immediately banned those weapons. Not amerikikka, we defend and protect weapons of violence.
