Outstanding. Is there any lie he won't tell?

One that might make him look bad?

Just 19 this time.

Nothing to see here...just thoughts and prayers.

[WaspInWales]

The alleged suspect looks like a flag waving Trump supporter at this time, but will no doubt turn out to be mentally ill at some point, rather than a terrorist.

[Digby]

In any reasonable country they'd have already acted on guns, this is just ongoing lunacy now.

Same shit, different day. Dozens shot dead, and it's the same old deflective bullshit with the added bonus of an incompetent, ignorant and supremely non self aware head of state to guide us through it with notes and statements prepared by someone else. Fucking pathetic. Take ownership of your rhetoric and your office to actually act on something concrete, instead of conflating your manufactured immigration emergency with the actual emergency that allows anyone with a violent agenda to act upon that through the absurd conduit of ease of access to firearms you worthless tiny little man.

What sort of and how many drugs had they put into Trump that gave him the appearance of a zombie taking the fight to white supremacy? Or was that merely Trump not on speed giving a speech about tolerance?

I think he was just concentrating really, really hard on reading all the big, unfamiliar words off the autocue that someone else had clearly written for him.

I thing the stable genius still got one of the locations of the shootings wrong at some point, so too do Joe Biden in fairness, so work in progress

Talk about poor optics.

Top Tip: When visiting victims of a mass shooting it is advisable to avoid making promotional videos that feature ones self flashing a grin and giving the "double thumbs up".

I don't want to take sides. Just one thing, Trump is well known for being verbally violent, and allegedly for forcing himself on women; still he doesn't have a record for striking people (alleged or not).

So yes, that part would be out of character as we know it. It doesn't mean the accusation is false or true. Just stating.

Luckily amphetamine psychosis isn't a thing beyond any personality traits the President may have which haven't been on public display

There has been a lot of articles recently about the connection between prolonged use of methamphetamine by German WW1 veterans and the subsequent rise of the Nazi party.
I've heard the US are currently suffering an epidemic of opioids and amphetamines and they've elected themselves a psycho'.
I heard someone on RT saying that the one good thing about Trump was that he:
'clearly thinks war is bad for business'.

His lack of education might actually pay off in this respect. No one tell him....!!!!!.

When Trump took over one of his big thing was the cost of the new airplanes which could provide presidential transport had escalated well beyond what was reasonable, and he, Donald Ttump, was going to bring those costs smartly down to a level which actually represented value to the tax payer. And this started well, albeit without ever specifying where in the budget the cuts were coming, Donald Ttump was initially able to save $1 billion in the cost to US tax payers, this figure went to 1.4, then 1.5 and I think at some point he may even have claimed a saving of $1.6 billion. About a year into his term of office team Donald Ttump radically altered the claims of savings to the original costs to be in the millions, not billions. Now a year or so later and the proposed cost to US taxpayers is now billions of pounds above the plans that Ttump inherited

Stable genius for the win!

"Donald Trump has sparked global revulsion after being photographed grinning with a two-month-old child who was made an orphan during Saturday’s mass shooting in El Paso which left 22 people dead."

Jesus Fucking Christ.

Sparked, maintained or enhanced?

[morepork]

This is repugnant on all levels.

Yep, but tiny hands always thinks every single moment in life is about him.

What's the sauce?

[J Dory]

If anyone still has room for more Trump revulsion in their life, podcast "the asset" adds new layers of insight.

[WaspInWales]

Epstein has been found dead in his cell.

More winning for Trump.

"Suicide" whilst on suicide watch just seems rather convenient, and much less embarrassing for A LOT of rather important people

[morepork]

Don't go down the conspiracy route. That way lays madness.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-49303879

Note the age of the protagonist, the target demographic for online "they want to take our guns propaganda"

Dmitriy Andreychenko entered the shop heavily armed, days after a mass shooting at another of Walmart's stores.
"I wanted to know if that Walmart honoured the second amendment," the 20-year-old told police after his arrest.

He told police he did not expect the reaction his walk generated.
"This is Missouri, I understand if we were somewhere else like New York or California, people would freak out," he said, according to police filings.

What would embolden this young man to undertake such a senseless illogical and insensitive action right now? It's not violent fucking video games. We are in desperate need of sensible leadership here.
