I see Trump has a more subtle way of reducing wealth inequality. If we can scare people away from vaccinations, that combined with the increasing prevalence of superbugs will kill off enough poors that we won't even need to worry about economic issues. Pragmatic progressivism in action.

Takes a real presidential man to say "I really don't need the praise that literally, LITERALLY everyone is heaping me, you guys." it's the most elegant of humblebrags.

I was actually srsly pondering this, from the viewpoint of some bigoted middle America dipstick. Some of them have gotta be thinking, "serves dem queers right fer bein queeeeeeer!" otoh they then have to think, "ah poo poo, am I supporting the actions of a TERRIST??" in the end i think they'll justify it as a stopped clock being right twice a day. And this country will continue to spiral into a dumpster fire.

well yeah, OUT LOUD. I meant how do they justify it to themselves.

*sadly shakes head* Such are the wages of their sinful lifestyle. At least those darn mooslims didn't attack a good God-fearing church or wholesome straight bar! *bakes a cake and decorates it like a flag in order to feel safer from the terrrrrists in Rural Bumbleton, Kansas*

it's loving horrible. I get mad because it's the kind of useless anger like, "Why couldn't we stop this? somebody should have stopped this." But the reality is no one could really know it would happen.

Also i get mad because I haven't checked the news yet but I'm sure many, many assholes will try to use the pointless deaths of 50 people to justify their political beliefs and segue into their favorite talking points. Always happens, always horrible.

Eh getting 10 brajillion phone calls and texts from old friends that i used to do the club thing with was pretty disconcerting. And then loving Pam Bondi et al talking like people havent done everything and anything to isolate and undermine the LGBT community here.

Wow, that attack was brutal. Just shows that it can happen literally anywhere - just needs a broken mind and a little terrorist influence.
Relatives of the shooter said he wasn't religious, but harbored 'antipathy' against gays. So an easy target for any islamic terrorist organisation. Only answer would be to screen literally any person in the country and snoop on their communications.

Also, gently caress Trump for his self-reightous 'TOLD YOU SO'. What a huge idiot rear end in a top hat he is.

Not to drag this up no doubt for the billionth time, but perhaps some form of gun control in the state of FL other than "use both hands" might help.

Interviews also revealed he hated black people, jews and women. This guy was just a bigoted piece of poo poo and looking to claim affiliation with whatever group hated the most people. Trumps I told you so is bs because this wasnt about being muslim, or even being in ISIS, which he wasn't to best of anyone's knowledge. If this guy had been white, he'd be shooting up clubs in the name of the Klan. It just makes me sick.

If the right had any self awareness they'd see themselves in his bigotry.

The broadside attacks on Islam are expected and prejudiced. But a real problem for our political discourse is that there's a lot of well-financed toxic poo poo and murderous homophobia pouring out of the Gulf region and the U.S. govt is entangled in it. Muslim progressives will outright point to it and say: there's your problem, and it's causing a lot of issues in our community. But this point isn't being made clear, so it's allowing demagogic voices like Donald Trump an opening.

Yeah :smith: hell I own guns, but the mythical good guy with a gun is such an overblown trope. Yeah like i want to be a big goddamn hero by engaging an armed assailant when the police are just looking for "guy with gun" and will drop you quick as poo poo.

Just really frustrated. Yes lets focus on isis. Instead of the man who needed mental health care, and was able to buy and bring an assault weapon into a night club i have been to several times.

yup isis is the only problem here.
