And the shooting happened one week before the Florida legislature was gonna vote to allow guns in airports so people could defend themselves.
Pardon me for being skeptical---but does the right wing think we were born yesterday????!!!!
I have been predicting for weeks that the Trump/Putin administration would find a Latino-Muslim to help them jump-start their war against the U.S. Constitution. And now it looks like Comey and the FBI had already identified just the guy.
Democrats in Congress, I demand that you find out everything the FBI knew about this man. Because if Comey would do what he did for Trump last fall, I have absolutely no doubt he would turn a shooter lose to kill people "for the sake of national security."

ETA: To be clear, the man is mentally ill. It's obvious he needs help, and he shouldn't have had access to guns.

(1,429 posts)they "planted" or "activated" a sleeper. I refuse to believe (and no, I do not think I am suffering from normalcy bias) that we live in a world where MIHOP/LIHOP machinations rule the day. If, on the extraordinarily (as in one in a million plus) remote chance we are under that level of manipulation and control, everything is too hopeless to even give any fucks about. I will never become that paranoid and conspiratorial ever. Not a chance.
