"Beginning on January 20th 2017, safety will be restored."

HE FAILED.



Donald J. Trump, exploiting The Pulse nightclub shooting in others in the opening of his convention speech, promising that attacks would magically end when he took power:

---

"Our Convention occurs at a moment of crisis for our nation. The attacks on our police, and the terrorism in our cities, threaten our very way of life. Any politician who does not grasp this danger is not fit to lead our country.

Americans watching this address tonight have seen the recent images of violence in our streets and the chaos in our communities. Many have witnessed this violence personally, some have even been its victims.

I have a message for all of you: the crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon come to an end. Beginning on January 20th 2017, safety will be restored."


----

On year in, two of the mass shootings in U.S. history in Vegas and Texas, Charlottesville, Manhattan, etc.

Had Obama made a pledge like that in his speech, the GOP would have played it on a loop on FOX every time there was an attack on his watch.

1. Indeed,

That is so true, and why don't the Dems get out there and make some serious noise? I will begin, again, to call my congresspeople in both parties and start questioning where is their courage? This is the most crucial time and I feel they are wasting the opportunity.

2. This is safety. People's guns have never been safer. n/t

3. Trump has made violence a way of life in the U.S.

HE HAS DONE NOTHING to dissuade people from violence.
Everything he says points to MORE violence and killing.
He is a fucking god-damned-asshole-freak-traitor to his own country.
Get him the hell out of here!
Keep him in Russia, Putin—when he visits you to discuss how you want him to improve the dismal work he is doing for you.
Go to hell, Trump and Putin!
