1. Neither Donald nor his supporters are interested in your liberal "facts."

[wallyworld2]

23. The Intercept

"The man who shot over 100 people and killed 49 in an Orlando nightclub Saturday worked at a retirement home as a security guard for G4S – a giant, often controversial global contracting corporation that provides mercenary forces, prison guards and security services. G4S is one of the world’s largest private security companies, with more than 620,000 employees and a presence in over 100 countries.....

.....one of Mateen’s former coworkers told the New York Times that he “saw it coming,” that Mateen “talked about killing people all the time,” and that he was “always angry, sweating, just angry at the world.”

The coworker, who said he quit his job due to harassment from Mateen, explained that he “complained multiple times” to G4S, because Mateen didn’t like “blacks, women, lesbians, and Jews.”

Yet G4S continued to employ Mateen, who was able to obtain a “security officer” license to buy firearms in addition to his state license and conceal carry permit."

Mateen was even allowed to work at G4S while under FBI investigation. According to the FBI, Mateen was suspected of involvement in terror in 2013. The FBI investigation included the use of paid informants, recording conversations, following him, electronic surveillance, and interviewing him three times, FBI Director James Comey said on Monday. The investigation was closed because it produced no hard evidence of terrorist complicity.

24. Facts plus sunlight. Bravo!

[TwilightZone]

2. "He's more blatant than most" should be his campaign slogan. It's perfectly representative.

[zentrum]

10. That's it exactly.

He simply says what his followers are already thinking.

[cstanleytech]

29. They should try thinking more often for themselves rather than being told what to think. nt

3. K & R. Thanks for posting.

[BlueMTexpat]

4. Thanks, EarlG!

I was literally beside myself because my spouse insisted on watching that abomination and I had nowhere to hide.

Thank you for letting me know that those others who had to listen had exactly the same reactions that I did.

[Ilsa]

5. Thank you so much.

Re: EarlG:


I just don't say it enough. Many thanks.

6. K&R

Been out in the wilderness, literally, for several weeks... thanks for the reading material so I can catch up during my mandatory days off.

[TNNurse]

17. You may want to return to the wilderness

[2naSalit]

21. Oh I certainly am scheduled to

in no uncertain terms until the end of September when my contract is up, with a few mandatory days off here and there. But I am a political animal and have to have my "fix" when I'm with teh humans... this is just proof that our social fabric is unraveling at an exponential rate these days. It's no fun to watch but it impacts me in serious ways on a daily basis so keeping up on the issues is important.

7. Add to it President Obama's EPIC takedown this morning.

I haven't enjoyed myself so much since the last epic takedown.

Full-blown Trump freakout in 3...2...1...

[Martin Eden]

8. Donald Trump is a symptom of a dangerous disease within our Body Politic

A large percentage of the American voting public is ignorant, bigoted, and susceptible to having their deepest fears and worst instincts manipulated by a demagogue who knows how to plow the fields sown by decades of Fox News and rightwing talk radio.

Our country stands on the precipice of fascism.

We cannot sit idly by and let it happen.

[hibbing]

9. George W. Bush

[Martin Eden]

11. I wrote a poem for George W. Bush when he left office

What I'd like to say to his face:


I'd tell you to go fuck yourself
But that is much too kind
Because if you could perform that feat
You'd take pleasure in your behind

I'd like to say eat shit and die
But you deserve much more
You should suffer all the grief and pain
Of your misbegotten war

Though I can never make you think
Or feel, or understand
I'll take solace when you hear your name
Cursed throughout the land

From inside a lonely prison cell
Dark and bare and cold
Where every day you pay for your crimes
Until you're sick, heartbroken, and old

Then when you finally leave the earth
You fucked over oh so well
If there is a God and afterlife
You're going straight to hell.



And yes, the Bush regime was several steps towards fascism.

[hibbing]

19. Never forget n/t

[Martin Eden]

22. I will also never forget those who voted to give Bush authority to invade Iraq.

Nor will I forget those who stood up in opposition to it.

[Ford_Prefect]

12. And the MSM cannot get enough of him to sell yet more minutes of advertising!

Look at all the headlines to date about how outrageous and entertaining he is, and about how Donald is the new voice of the Republican voter! They repeat his every word 10 times as if it was a religious revelation.

IMO the problem is not Trump but his enablers in the MSM. If Sanders or O'Malley had gotten 1/2 the coverage for taking a serious stand on real issues that Donald got for free for simply making up racist BS there might be a different tone set in the Democratic Primary. But then no one ever got rich by selling truth when propaganda is much cheaper and easier to package, and the PTB will pay for it every time.

13. Is it me or is the media working hard to hurt trump

Which would help to ensure a Hillary win in November or someone else to replace trump for the GOP. It's one or the other it seems Cuz this is a bit uncharacteristic when msm is always up for a tight race.

[bjobotts]

16. Trump hurts Trump. Just need to put a spotlight on it.Never held any office cause he's unfit

[irisblue]

14. F that guy is~always~my first thought when I see a pic of him

What have we fallen too?

[ffr]

15. My first thought is, that he's got to be a false flag candidate

He's working so hard to repulse and offend people on so many different subject matters. Half of me wants to make bets with people that he's Nelson, doing it intentionally to prank republicans with their own stupidity. And after the election...

20. What happened to the word "LIES" ?

It seems to me this would summarize at least half of these headlines with the merit of being clear.

[3catwoman3]

28. Nobody lies anymore, right?

They just "misspeak."

[whistler162]

25. WOW alot of revoke press credentials to come!

[bucolic_frolic]

26. "Calling a threat by a different name does not make it go away" - Barack Obama

That's what Trump was trying to do. By focusing on the radical Islam element,
Trump aligned himself with the NRA. This was not about guns, it was about
religion.

And now they're trying to make it about the shooter's sexuality.

Obama really nailed Trump today. Trump is constantly baiting but he's not
very adept at keeping his lying mouth shut.

[ailsagirl]

27. Thanks for this, EarlG!!

Thank God respected media see it our way!!

[doc03]

30. I predict Trump will gain on or pull ahead of Hillary Clinton with the next polling data n/t

[ailsagirl]

31. The President's response to drumpf's BS...

[AllyCat]

32. So the media outlets that propped him up for ratings and $ are now

attacking exactly what made the money and ratings. Had it not been for the media covering him 24/7, we wouldn't have this moron blustering around inciting racial hatred and violence.
