1. He's stoking

those fires again.

[Achilleaze]

2. "Kick 'em when they're up. Kick 'em when they're down." - republican "ethics"

the quality of mercy is not strained.

republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief, Comrade Casino, is a major A-hole. In case there's anyone who hasn't noticed.

[BeyondGeography]

3. Theresa May sounded the same basic note but she's a white conservative

Fuck you, Donald.

[mucifer]

4. it will help his poll numbers. That is all he cares about.

[Vinca]

5. He's such an asshole. He doesn't have a cell of compassion in his body for the victims.

FYI Don, there was also a gun involved.

[woodsprite]

6. Were probably copying the Portland domestic terrorist

[leftyladyfrommo]

7. He is awful. Nt

8. My daughter is in London, still she feels safer there than in the gun-wielding states of the U.S.

.


She can go out at night and feel safe, while being alone.

She did not get that feeling in many of the states, especially the RW ones.

10. I don't even venture in the RW states if I can help it. I've just written some states off my

list to ever be in. I know good people live there, and this is a broad brush, but I've been in some of these states, lived in some, and there are better places for sure.

12. Pro Tip: If you get a car, make sure it has In-State License Plates on it.

16. Yep! The US is scary and Trump is fueling the divisions in the US. n/t

9. Every tweet, and outrageous act, that comes out of this WH the republicans own as long as they

remain silent.

In fact, reasonable people would say that the republican congress has already crossed the Rubicon with their silence

[RKP5637]

11. I think they own it and are proud of it. Trump speaks what they think and are. To me, they are

one in the same, and that's why they remain silent. Trump, is the face of the GOP and they love it.

[still_one]

13. I agree

[RKP5637]

17. And we can no longer think of them, some of them, as Eisenhower republicans. This, is

a whole new breed. They would even kick Ike out of their GOP party.

[still_one]

19. Actually, as horrendous as reagan and both bush's were, the republican party today is so far to the

right, that wouldn't be accepted by today's republicans.

Simply look at their primaries, and who led. Jeb Bush and John Katich weren't even competitive

The republican party can no longer just be considered conservative. They have evolved into an extremist party

[RKP5637]

23. I've often wondered if eventually there will be a serious war of the GOP vs. the USA. There is

a lot of really weird stuff going on and I think the GOP is definitely trying to take down the US and rewrite the constitution, etc., etc.

[still_one]

24. The direction they have been going, it is a valid concern

[dalton99a]

14. He's dog whistling like mad - the mayor's name is Sadiq Khan

[tanyev]

15. That's right, Donald. These attacks would have been much deadlier

if they'd been armed like the 2015 Paris attackers.

[mn9driver]

18. The fascist right had several out of context quotes up within an hour of the attacks.

One of Khan's quotes is from March and one is from September last year in support of NYC after the bomb attack there. Both are truncated and out of context.

Trump gets a lot of his information from right wing racist and fascist web sites. He is a sick and dangerous man.

[n2doc]

20. Just saying...

Homicide rates in the U.S. and peer countries by weapon type, 2013






Unintentional firearm death rates in the U.S. and peer countries, 2013




http://www.humanosphere.org/science/2016/06/visualizing-gun-deaths-comparing-u-s-rest-world/

It would take a heel of a lot of terrorist attacks in the UK to match the rate of deaths from guns alone in the US. We get the equivalent of what happened in London every day in the US.

[still_one]

21. He is also taking what the Mayor of London said out of London, where the mayor was reassuring the

public about a larger police presence — and not to ignore the threat of homegrown terrorists.

Will someone please commit the idiot who occupies the WH

[Takket]

22. gee i wonder why they didn't use guns...........

MAYBE BECAUSE LONDON HAS MORE RESTRICTIVE LAWS YOU IMPOSSIBLE BUFFOON!!!!!!!!!!!!
