Dressed in body armor and wearing GoPro cameras, Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, and Tashfeen Malik, 27, burst into the San Bernardino facility and shot up a conference room where Farook's employer, the county health department, was hosting a holiday party. The pair escaped in a black SUV after the attack, which authorities said was over within minutes, only to resurface three hours later and less than 2 miles away in a fierce gun battle on the city's main drag.

Well I'm really glad I visited that building a month ago before they ruined it with what I assume will be an awful statue of a living war criminal. It's a little strange that they are putting a living person in there either, because from what I understand everyone else has to be dead to get a statue. Granted Cheney is dead on the inside....

We know the guns were legally bought, I believe, so...yeah? Pretty sure the facts he's talking about waiting for are regarding things like the shooters motivation and whether it was a terrorist act or workplace violence, etc.

What? No, the dudes all about being better than everyone else. He's HUGE; god emperor trump is just the next step in his evolution. Do you really think he doesn't salivate at the idea of being President?
I guarantee he has a hard on 24 hours a day right now just thinking about it. poo poo, he's been talking about for what, 20 years now.

At this point it wouldn't surprise me if he hasn't convinced himself that it is his destiny.


He's lost more money, given up more income, and is going to spend more money than he could ever make back by that model. This isn't a grift job.

AFAIK, Trump hasn't really spent all that much of his own money on his campaign either. Sure, he'd obviously be giving up business income to be President (I know Presidents have to give up corporate positions but I don't think they also have to give up shares or income-earning investments, right? In any case, he's already got all of his adult kids managing his businesses, so-) but I think he could probably recover any personal losses with the right post-oval office jobs. It honestly wouldn't be too different from his pre-campaign days of making public appearances and putting his brand on stuff.

Also, it's not like he hasn't been bankrupt (twice?) before. It's never hurt him for very long or really affected his lifestyle.

At the end of the day, Trump clearly values himself way more than money (as opposed to, I guess, Scrooge McDuck?) and I'm sure he sees "Donald Trump: Commander in Chief" worth whatever the investment in money and time.

In other words, he's campaigning to get attention insomuch as being President is the ultimate kind of attention to get.

greatn posted:

It's really hosed up that every time there's another mass shooting everyone in the thread and in the mainstream political media and thought is openly rooting for the shooters to have been under one political ideology or one race or another.

Because we've had a legit epidemic of domestic, right-wing terrorism during the Obama years clearly fomented by the reactionary backlash to visible liberal gains but, at best, people will connect them as "mass shooter incidents" and lament our inability to agree about guns. Meanwhile, it hasn't been 24 hours and peoplepresidential candidates are already linking San Bernadino to Paris and screaming TOLD YOU ABOUT MUSLIMS BRO
