House Dem asks Trump to get off his ass to do something about school shooting

Source: The Hill


BY MAX GREENWOOD - 02/14/18 08:52 PM EST

Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) called on Wednesday for President Trump to "get off his ass" and work with lawmakers to address the rash of shootings in U.S. schools.

Responding to a tweet from the president offering condolences for those affected by a deadly shooting at a South Florida high school on Wednesday, Moulton said he is on board with Trump's claim that "no child, teacher or anyone else should ever feel unsafe in an American school."

"I agree with every word @realDonaldTrump said here," Moulton tweeted. "I invite him to get off his ass and join me in trying to do something about it."

I assume the ONLY time he "gets up off his ass" is when he hires Stormy Daniels or another porn star to spank him with a magazine with his photo on the cover.

I read. Maybe he would get off his ass if he had been "working at the Florida White House" when the shooter who was caught 3/4 mile down the road from the school.

gated type of community that has large homes and $$. They probably thought that their area was safe from this sort of crime. Also, the city was just rated in the top 10 safest communities in the state.

This type of thing happens anywhere and everywhere. No place is "safe" in gun loving America.

It most certainly can happen anywhere at anytime.

Nowhere is safe. I'm grateful it hasn't happened here in Hawaii.. but that doesn't mean it won't.

in America. The halls of congress are safe, thanks to the self serving cretins who supposedly "represent" the citizens. Seems they only represent RICH people, and NRA overlords. Oh, yes, Russians too.

every time he goes down there and they surround him with coffins and ghoul white face paint the whole time he is there, every time he is there. Line the streets with these reminder until he leave office.

Indivisible groups go to Issa's and Nunes's offices once a week for a year. We need activists to have a "die -in" in the DC offices in Congress like they did for health care. There should be rallies and marches like the Women's March. We can NOT allow this to be wished away by the lawmakers. We need to also go to The NRA offices and do the same thing at their homes! Show fake children in coffins. Dress as "death", etc. We need the VISUALS! Visuals provide instant messages and have an emotional impact.

I only caught the end and didn't know who it was, but he said essentially "we don't need a wall, we don't need a parade...take that money and work on the whole panalopy of things that contribute to gun violence."

they bought the nra through a banker named Alexander Torshin.
I guess as long as Putin has his useful idiot in the white house, and people are so naive that they still blame Putin's stooge for Russia's actions, we all lose.

Lets face in boys and girls, Russia is committing acts of war against us every day, and his stooge is committing treason everyday. Lets stop ignoring the Elephant in the front room.

(Somebody on DU referred to that thing as "TrumPutin" and I've been using it ever since first seeing it. It has "TrumP" in it so search engines find it, but it is forever tied to Putin, so any 'hits' get both).

Didn't the Russian laundromat NRA funnel about $77 million into GOP?

He will tweet thoughts and prayers.
He will call his GOP buddy Rick Scott aka “stand your ground” governor.
He will most likely offer money to the corrupted FL AG to help bury the victims cause that’s all she offered.
He won’t quickly speak publicly if not at all.
He will visit the families and run the same sympathetic bullshit routine.
He will open his big orange mouth and say something stupid like, “if only the teachers and faculty had guns”.
He will take advice from his BFFs, the NRA. The same organization who accepted money from Russia to fund the Orange Clown’s campaign.
He will sit, wait, and distract to move the news cycle.
He will do nothing.

lets start placing the blame where it actually lies. The stooge is just doing what he is told. We are under siege by Russia, and we are losing big time.

Trump doesn't do and real work. He tells his lackeys in Congress what he wants, and that's it. We never really get to see the vaunted "Art of the Deal" Trump is so famous for.

Trump is, without question, the laziest man to ever become President. Other than "executive time" and "lunch", his days are pretty much empty of anything. Of course he'll take credit for the results of everyone else's work (but never the blame if things go awry) but he does absolutely no work actual Presidents have done in the past. He is the quintessential empty vessel.

NRA and Russia and Putin own them, and can't do anything without consequences, so they're all scared. Vote Democrat, say no to the NRA and Putin. They talk and make excuses, then do nothing to stop this from continuing to happen.
