BREAKING NEWS: Trump declares Las Vegas shooting "a great success."

The President noted that the number of casualties in the shooting--59 people dead and over 500 people wounded--was far less than that of a "real catastrophe, like the Battle of Gettysburg."

Details at Eleven.

I can actually imagine that coming out of the man-baby's mouth. How do you satirize someone this freaking surreal?

Someone posts a post like your OP here and the rest of us try to guess if it is true or not. With Trump, anything that sounds preposterous is just as likely to be true as it is to be satire. Did he really say this, or do I need to drink a shot?

I might just drink a shot anyhow, because Trump and all of his obnoxious cronies are in charge. I still cannot believe Trump is in the White House. Every day he is in charge is surreal all over again. I sleep. I wake up. I realize it wasn't a nightmare and it is real. I go into a daze trying to make it through the day.

Bill the koch brothers and other fossil fuel dinosaurs who sell fossil fuels and promulgate climate change denial. They are materially responsible for the impact of climate change-fueled storms of increased intensity, and hence just as responsible for what happened to Puerto Rico as if they flew over the country and dropped bombs.
