TYT: San Bernardino Shooting
December 3, 2015
I've have absolutely goddamn had it with all the gun problems in this country. Another mass shooting yesterday... Oh wait make that two! There was also a shooting that killed 1 person and injured 4 in Savannah, Georgia but you wont hear about that one in the media because we have become so accustomed to the gun violence that news channels just sift through all the shootings, find the one that did the most damage and report on that for a few days and then move on to the next tragedy. Our country is drowning in guns and its all rooted in gun lobbyists buying our politicians. There is no way in hell a country could let this go on without money involved. Our democracy is being rip apart by the buying of politicians. 90% of the American population supports much stricter gun laws which means that 80% of NRA members are part of this percentage.
The only reason this country has such minimal gun laws is because the NRA is buying our politicians. This has nothing to do with the second amendment anymore, the second amendment gives a state the right to have a well regulated militia, NOT the right to arm people on the terrorist watch list! These blood thirsty bastards will shoot down (no pun intended) any legislation that has to do with controlling guns. This was an eye opener for me because it made me think I'M NEXT! And so are you! The guns are everywhere! They're coming for you and me, and worst of all they're coming for your kids! If you feel like you were becoming numb to this type of stuff, take a look at this:
Still numb?
The NRA doesn't actually care about anyone rights and they DEFINITLY DONT CARE ABOUT YOU! I realized today that getting money out of politics wont only strengthen our democracy, but today has proved to me that getting money out will solve much more. It will even stop mass shootings.

Not only did the scumbag deny mocking Kovlaski's disability but his campaign is now demanding an apology from the press! Let me repeat that TRUMP IS DEMANDING AN APOLOGY! An apology from the press for actually doing their job! I was amused when the reporter at "Good Morning America" called him "teflon Don" which does sum this whole thing up pretty well. Nothing this motherfucker says ever gets him in trouble.

Unbelievable. One line in there really stood out to me:

Trump Is Now Denying That He Mocked Serge Kovlaski's Disability.
It is becoming harder these days to turn on you TV and not see the ugly hate filled face of Donald Trump. I've become accustomed to it and don't pay much attention when he appears on my screen. But today was different. After spending a good amount of my weekend surfing the web (specifically DU) and seeing the video of Trump mocking the reporter appear over and over again it definitely caught my eye when I heard the reporter on the news this morning say "Trump is denying he ever mocked the reporter's disability." REALLY?...

Journalists and disability advocates were none too amused by Trump’s performance. In the face of mounting criticism, Trump released a lengthy statement on Thanksgiving, claiming that he had had no idea that Kovaleski was handicapped.
“I don’t know who this reporter Serge Kovaleski is, what he looks like, or his level of intelligence,” Trump wrote. “I merely mimicked what I thought would be a flustered reporter trying to get out of a statement he made long ago. If Mr. Kovaleski is handicapped, I would not know because I do not know what he looks like. If I did know, I would definitely not say anything about his appearance.”

But according to Kovaleski, Trump knows exactly what he looks like.
“Donald and I were on a first-name basis for years,” Kovaleski told the New York Times. “I’ve interviewed him in his office.”
In fact, Kovaleski knows Trump well enough not to be shocked by the billionaire’s insults.
“The sad part about it is, it didn’t in the slightest bit jar or surprise me that Donald Trump would do something this low-rent, given his track record,” Kovaleski told the Washington Post.

Trump is a dangerous pathological liar. What upsets me more than the man himself is how gullible his supporters are. Ditto heads all of 'em. Lets see it one more time for good measure.
This guy is devastating to the image of our country.
