Pulse nightclub shooting as carried out by a foreigner and American hater with ISIS sympathies typical of the "radical progressives" that hate everything about normal Americans and love everything about non Americans.
Oddly progressives claim tolerance when they are typically just the opposite for legacy legal citizens. Personally all such use of political memes on public property need ended.

Progressives as always fret about opposing politics and creating political memes instead of stopping the actual Issis loving perp

"Pulse nightclub shooting as carried out by a foreigner and American hater"
Shooting, you say? He was an American Second Amendment lover.

Snoofy have you read about OMAR MATEEN the Pulse shooter and his background? I didn't think so? This is what makes leftists such a threat. They are clueless and then pretend they know something about politics and their love of illegals and crime and the despise of America. en.wikipedia.org

Yep... that's all Trump is doing really, feeding some blood (of others than himself) to the tree of liberty.

Also Key West is refusing to take up their rainbow crosswalks. Apparently this is a directive from DeDickwad.

Did you know if you walk on a rainbow painted crosswalk, it turns you gay?
That's a fact.
Just warning you all.
Good luck out there people.

Yes I have.
Same mindset and similar M.O. as the nightclub shooters in Paris.
Broadly speaking, them being gay, and heavy repression of homosexuality by religious fanatics gave rise to a circumstance where the price was paid by a society that more or less is openly accepting of homosexuality.
It was easier to try to kill that, than reconcile that you're a gay Muslim.
It's not uncommon that gays are targeted by people who we might say are "Questioning." Because certain forces in society, mostly conservative, use scapegoats to perpetuate their caste systems, and gays, as a minority, are easy targets.
Because people in these regimented, right vs wrong societies tend to follow these cues from their leaders. A bit like the person in Butler, PA who heeded Trump's call to shoot pedophiles.

"Senator Carlos Guillermo Smith, who became the first openly gay Latino elected to the Florida legislature in 2016, told Newsweek. "It was inspiring to see so many local residents spring into action in response to the Governor's cowardly abuse of power."

Contrary to popular Republican belief, that bible they pretend to read has a very, 'live and let live' attitude for what other people do... and nowhere does it suggest they take over the Gov and make other people live a certain way by law.
As a matter of fact, Jesus and Paul both said there are certain things Christians should not participate in, but that to condemn (kino GK, often translated as judge) other people who did was a major error; that Christians would be condemned as harshly as they condemned other people.

Looks like we found the self loathing, closeted homosexual.
The majority of Americans don't care what color sidewalks and crosswalks are painted, it only offends those who are miserable with their own lives, and become furious when seeing other people being happy.
