It's what you'd expect. Both are getting minimal coverage. Mueller indictments vindicates Trump and shows Obama is to blame for not doing anything in 2014. Shooting is the FBIs fault and the answer is putting armed guards in the schools, not taking away the virtuous, wonderful AR-15. A few usual suspects calling for gun control like Shep and Geraldo. Everyone else defending the honor of the NRA. Nothing terribly surprsing.

Laura Ingraham spent the last couple of days of the week calling LeBron an ignorant, uneducated dumb jock who can't speak well and should shut up and Aly Raisman a disappointing slut and bad role model. So they're moving on.

Edit: I've seen a little inspired speculation that the reason the FBI missed the shooter was because they were too busy investigating Russians. That could be a real winner.

And his base will love him for it. He's being a hard hitting truth teller. It's so obvious when you understand that the entire FBI organization can only ever work on one thing at a time. Every single field office and employee in the entire FBI is dedicated solely to one thing at a time.

The best part is even if you manage to penetrate some MAGA warriors thick skull with that concept by engaging with their shitheaded excuse for conversation it will hit their propaganda conditioning and just roll right off. Strong Daddy Trump says the FBI is bad, the FBI is bad. He says NFL is bad, NFL is bad.

It's a cult at this point and deprogramming takes a long loving time.

To be fair, I suspect "trying to arm teachers would be hilariously impractical, further break the Department of Education, and cause teachers to resign in droves" is considered a feature, not a bug, by the people in favor of it. The far right doesn't want public education to be a thing at all.

Well it isn't as if the Obama administration was on a Klan busting rampage either. There's simply no push to deal with radical White groups because they do not threaten the status quo of rich white dudes owning everything.

Also people tend to take offense when the police kill a bunch of white kids and law enforcement in America seems to be incapable of dealing with any problem without killing children.

This is a fair point, but I think there's also a cultural problem regarding the idea of right-wing white terrorism. The news up until recently wouldn't even entertain the idea of calling certain things terrorist attacks. Abortion Clinic Bombing? Lone wolf. Open-Carry person walks down the streets in Colorado Springs firing at people? Lone wolf. The news also frequently doesn't even cover right-wing terror plots being foiled, such as This sterling example of America trying to blow up an Airport terminal in North Caroina.

Then there's also the entire Bureau of Land Management vs. Bundy Clan standoff that I would have liked to imagine would've wound up with something happening but because jury nullification is still a thing people believe in, almost everyone that took over the Malheur Wildlife Refuge walked, almost everyone who literally leveled guns at the Police in Nevada walked, the Bundys walked, and a bunch of Sovereign Citizens probably got emboldened by the fact that the Government lost.

Hell even now the focus on the Parkland shooting feels more like it's focusing on things like "Cruz had ADHD, Depression, and Autism," and not the part where he's firing off guns while wearing a MAGA hat and boxers and being a raging anti-semite (among other things). Not enough people in America are willing to confront a problem that has existed within our society for decades and because it went ignored finally metastasized into this fascist movement emboldened by a narcissistic orange golem of hate. Trump making it harder for the FBI to even monitor these groups (some of whom even did also get arrested under Obama, such as the militia group in Michigan that got rolled up), is not so much a direct cause as it is a contributing factor to the whole mess, just like how the GOP stripped the security budgets of several embassies and then got really mad at the State Department (by which I mean they got mad at Hillary Clinton) when Benghazi happened.

Basically one juror thought there couldn't possibly have been a conspiracy to occupy the Wildlife Refuge (which I guess means all these SovCits with guns just "happened" to show up at the same time and just "happened" to force everyone off at gunpoint). So yes, it's Jury Nullification. Or Federal Prosecutors maybe going a bit too deep on charges, but considering that they wouldn't even convict the guys who clearly stole one of the refuge's trucks I doubt it was Fed incompetence.

I'm probably getting details wrong, the net result is still a lot of people walking and those that didn't basically getting a slap on the wrist.

Its like this graduating wave of bad, poorly thought out ideas.

"We should arm the teachers!"
"Who would train them? How can you afford it? What if they don't want to? What if they're just not fit?"
"We should put more armed police and military in the schools!"
"Who pays for that? Where are you getting these extra cops and what are they not doing anymore?"
"We should get retired cops and military in the schools!"

So that's basically where we are with the RWM that have "thought this out" like Hannity. Retiree cops and unemployed vets who are volunteering their time and bringing their own guns. This sounds like a solid plan.
