Don't forget, that it is a miracle... for Rump. It took the focus off of his circus of incompetence genocide in Puerto Rico and gives him a platform upon which to grandstand- pretending to be the mourner-in-chief.

We lack a vocabulary to adequately describe the bile-inducing, marrow-deep all-encompassing rage that rockets through my bloodstream every time I see it do it's circus routine talking with the hands.

If ever a human being should be converted to a Gollum-esque creature, it is Trump.
May his death be long, drawn out, incapacitating and painful beyond the reach of opiates.

let me give you my perspective of gun violence and shootings...............walking to school and hearing the sound of the pop pop pop, seeing my principle lying on the ground dead, my math/science teacher lying on the ground wounded, and a student running with a bullet wound, that was in 1964 ASSHOLE, every time one of these BS gun acts of violence come up, my mind, ASSHOLE goes back to cold wintry day of my youth seeing the carnage and the death.

So FUCK YOU, FUCK THE NRA, and FUCK everyone of the elected politicians that are chicken shit assholes that take money from the NRA and the gun manufactures of greed, to keep reminding those of us of that scene from 53 years ago, and saying our "thoughts and prayers" and "moment of silence"......
will heal........ FUCK YOU......................it never leaves you ASSHOLE, never, and it is no miracle ASSHOLE, it is TRAUMA


SO FUCK YOU


I HATE the NRA

No more sanitizing the aftermath and allowing society to pretend the problem is cleaner and less grotesque than it is.

Bullets DESTROY bodies and end lives. THOUSANDS of bullets do not EVER belong in the hands of a civilian at any one time. Target shooting and hunting may very well be fine recreational activities, but neither warrant nor require the ability to fire off 100's of rounds per minute.

Bodies struck with high velocity projectiles are NEVER the same. We hear only of the dead and think absently, well, that could have been much worse...ignoring the pain and torment that dozens more will suffer for decades to come.

The NRA lobbyists should be tied to chairs in "Clockwork Orange" homage and forced to watch the accumulated carnage of Columbine, Sandy Hook, Pulse and Vegas on a continual loop for several days. Then ask them above the absolute right to weapons of war in civilian hands...

He is too stupid. How can he use the word , "miracle" in this situation..?
Again, and again......All he has to do..is say nothing. Saying nothing is easier than talking.
Perhaps he could say, "No comment today" , Only 3 words. Very easy to remember. But in this video,,he after starting, he cannot stop. Then he talks about what a great job is being done.

We're stuck with a limited president with a limited vocabulary and limited competence. Here are some that he's able to come up with and repeat endlessly. Add other that I left out.

We're doing a great job.

Fantastic

Win/winning

Really smart people

Fake news

Bad people

So amazing

Tremendous

Weak

Fake news

Total disaster

into a hotel knowing he was goin got massacre everyone he could. What miracle what occured there?

He's still slapping Puerto Ricans in the face, this asshole thinks the people can just hop into their cars and drive to workfrom Ponce and deliver goods when roads don't exist any longer. This diot governor that has been sucking Donnie 2 Scoops off and all he recieved is praised for what a great job he is doing. The country hasn't gotten a fucking thing, but he loves the governor.

We're still waiting for the waiting for the military anf FEMA to move out from San Jose's port and actually start getting supplies to the people to the of cuntry. So if some one could tell me when his train is coming back from Tabitha so I be ther to protest his stupidity.

Trump's tone deaf. I think we all know he was probably annoyed over this taking the spotlight off of his NFL, Little Rocket Man and Lazy Puerto Rico tweets.

So again, much as I'd like to I cannot lay this at Cheeto's door. I do agree, however, that nothing will happen w/ him in office. Sadly, I doubt anything will happen when he's out of office.

tried to tighten up gun control, and yes we CAN lay this at the Orange Anus-Mouth's door, along with all of the other Republicans who depend on the right-wing gun lobby for political money.

And by the way, it's PRESIDENT Obama.

All he could do was executive orders which the GOP giddily reversed as soon as they could,

Feb. 2017: The House voted Thursday to rescind an Obama administration rule that heightened scrutiny of mentally impaired people who seek to purchase a firearm — but that critics said would strip law abiding citizens of their constitutional rights.

it's a miracle because now everyone is talking about the Shooting instead of Puerto Rico and Russia or how he's the lousiest human being ever to walk the face of the earth.
