Unzip and Attack posted:LOL you're actually glad the suspects are Muslim, aren't you? You're a really terrible person. Not at all. It's terrible in both it confirms the worst fears that islamaphobes have and that it is apparently a devout Muslim who who is confirming those fears and that Muslims will feel the effects of his actions. I am entertained by the the flood of goonthink after the shooting that happily went along with blaming rightwing aspects and shaming goons for even entertaining the thought of ISIS inspired terrorism suddenly turn face and ignore their own rush to judgement. Even now after the fact there is a rush to judgement about a Muslim cleansing.

SSNeoman posted:So who else wants to join me in drinking till we pass out? You never know, the world might not suck this much when we wake up! This is what we have to look forward to now. Shooting after shooting, over and over, watched breathlessly, reported on 24/7, then chopped up and appropriated into whatever agenda it can serve. The news will no longer be about anything other than mass shootings and their fallout. Imagine a reporter, shoving pictures of corpses into a family member's face, over and over, forever

Likely he'd not pass much GOP legislation, but would escalate things in the middle east and nominate some judges. If Bush or Rubio get elected then the senate will remove the filibuster and ram down as much legislation as they can in 2 years. Trump won't win the nomination let alone the Presidency though.

I've read and laughed at them all. All the mechanisms the US government has to stop a Presidential action require the cooperation of Congress or the Supreme Court. If all 3 of them are in agreement there's not a whole lot to be done about it (without a revolution, at least). He's not going to be President, though, even after this.

Republicans posted:It could be a workplace shooting inspired by radicalism like Nidal Hasan. The accomplices are what make it weird but I guess they were just down with whatever so long as they got to kill people. Sure, but Nidal Hasan's workplace was a US military base full of US military personnel. It wasn't much of a leap for Hasan to see his victims as soldiers engaged in a war against his religion. These people were, what, clerks and health inspectors? I'm probably just giving Farook too much credit. Maybe he convinced himself that shooting local government officials in the armpit of California was a powerful blow for Islam.

Oh, there was another mass shooting in GA today. I didn't hear about that one. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/12/02/the-other-mass-shooting-that-happened-today-in-the-united-states/ quote:Here’s news you probably missed: A gunman in Savannah, Ga., shot four people early Wednesday, killing a woman and injuring three men. Police haven’t arrested a suspect, said Eunicia Baker, spokesperson for the Savannah Chatham Police Department. They also haven’t released the names of the victims. The local media barely acknowledged the murder: One local television station covered it in three paragraphs.

The question is, what group would cause more unrest, the minority population upset by his outlandish claims or the white base who would feel betrayed if he didn't try to live up to his promises? And as for the CBS News I posted earlier about the second suspect, I totally eat poo poo on that one.

People said he was just the temporary front-runner and he would be out of the race in favor of an establishment figure by the fall. Well, it's nearly 6 months later and the only time he wasn't leading the polls was for about two weeks when Carson was leading instead. Trump clearly has a non-zero, almost-certainly-double-digit chance of the nomination at this point. And if he has the nomination, that could give him as much as 47% of the vote to start with.
