So, he’s not illiterate, and can read words off a teleprompter, and can stay mostly on script if necessary.

Maybe you should take your speechwriter’s words to heart, Mr. President.

In another breath, the speech blames “the internet”, social media & violent video games - clearly, none of his rhetoric contributed to the tragedy in El Paso ...

Have you seen the comparisons from the El Paso shooter’s “manifesto” and Fox News content and Trump’s tweets?  It’s literally all the same stuff.

Fuck that guy with a rusty chainsaw. Where was that speech after Charlottesville? Now he wants to tie background check legislation to immigration. And they accuse Dems of politicizing this? Funny thing is, the only solution is political. The government must do something.

But go ahead and do all the background checks you want. Both the shooters would have come up clean. Mental health is not the only part of the problem, but it’s the easiest to point to so nothing gets done. It’s mental health AND easy access to automatic weapons.

Well yeah, he can read off a teleprompter…but clearly Steven Miller was too giddy with excitement about all this “American Carnage” this that he didn’t care to even realize the difference between Dayton (where the shooting happened) and Toledo (well, an entirely different place that also happens to be in Ohio, I guess?) when writing the damn script.

Also, the man is a tool.

Are democrats smart enough to realize that Donald would probably ban all guns in exchange for building a wall?  A construction project seems like a small trade for a policy they have wanted for generations.

Actually, I did glance at hat — and not being a Fox News viewer, I actually found a lot of the Fox stuff pretty benign and often simple/objective. Yes, excessive immigration is a problem (for any country). That’s pretty obvious. Yes, cultural or economic disruption/ dilution can cause short-term issues in communities. Anywhere.

The problem that Fox and Trump both have is the mosaic — when you take EVERYTHING they say together, it paints a pretty grim picture and I can totally understand how people have the impression they do.

Does that mean you yearn for a time when could could have an illustrious leader like Warren Harding?

For the tone-deafness of internet chatter, Harding  was not a great president, just the most empty-suit of a president I can think of.

I’ll trot out the same thing I first said after Virginia Tech and all the rest: The media collectively need to stop naming these people and talking about them.

If people online want to do it, whatever. But major news outlets need to boycott this stuff. Call it “reverse doxing” or something. But now almost every single one of these assholes cites a previous asshole as inspiration. And it resonates with all of us because we know the previous asshole.

Leave these assholes’ names and ideologies in the backwaters of 8chan.

Definitely agree. Don’t say their name; don’t show their picture, don’t link to their “manifesto”. You’re just giving them what they want, and giving fuel to the next one.

Yes, I also agree. I read an article a few years ago about the psych ology behind a riot, and how it is similar to the psychology of mass shootings. There are many thousands of people in a city who may be convinced to join a riot if enough people are already doing it . These people would normally never riot but, since the masses are rioting, it seems all right. There are also people who see the number of mass shootings happening, and the act become “normalized.” By naming the rioters, or mass shooters, some people look up to them as “heroes” which makes things much worse.

The potus’ speech did seem a bit off brand, and uncharacteristically poetic. Props to him for not taking it off the rails so much.

Nobody has clean hands on issues like this. We need to stop arguing over how much blood everybody has on them and start stitching the wound. Or at least grab some clean rags and apply pressure....

Someone should liken gun legislation to legislation criminalizing child predators , in the sense that no one, regardless of their political compass, could reasonably stand against such legislation. I’m not saying those issues are in any way similar, but this is ridiculous that this is a partisan issue. Maybe the specifics of HOW to control guns is carried out might be partisan, but that is it.
