Because apparently the government is smart enough to orchestrate completely fake mass shootings but not smart enough to hire different actors for each scene.

Well, you see, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.

I have property just outside of Barstow. The local meth heads stole the septic tank out of the ground and left near 12 tons of garbage on the place after they found it had water and power. The septic tank had been in use for near 5 years at that point.

Its what you do inbetween calltime, because who the gently caress in American campaigns actually wants to work?

The only candidate I could imagine it being fun to work for is Trump, and only if you're coked up near 24/7.

To be more precise, those were pre-9/11 times. We're now in the post-9/11 age and must consider our reactions accordingly.

Sounds like such a Bush thing to do.

Speaking of, has anyone watched the recent Showtime documentary, The Spymasters? I highly recommend it. Tl;dr: Bush's continued pre-9/11 thinking was a contributing factor in failing to prevent 9/11.

I don't care for the NRA either, but politicians elected by conservative voters tend to play up the religious angle for a cheap pop and are obviously not going to start calling for confiscation or whatever that guy would have them do. Also LOL at the amounts. No one is buying a politician for that much money.
