I saw Reason tweet this yesterday. Shortly after, six police officers were shot in Philly.

If an epidemic of mass shootings isn't an epidemic of mass shootings, what the heck is? It happens so often that some people think it's normal. Just a part of life in the good ol' USA.

Now why would the "not racist" Trump admin claim the inscription is only about Europeans when it makes no mention of Europeans?

Would you be saying the same if this were about Islamic extremists? Trump and other white supremacists are responsible for radicalization. Not reporters. Perhaps we shouldn't be convincing angry white racists that the country is being "infected"?

White people aren't being told they're bad. White supremacists are.

Why, Trump supporters, why?

No worries, Weiner. Trump's Nazi base knows he didn't really mean it.

If the KKK is a democrat organization why do they all support Trump, Republicans, conservatives and right-wing Christians?

FTA:

"The Swiss have strict rules for who can get a gun, and take firearm training very seriously."

"Gun owners who want to carry their weapon for "defensive purposes" also have to prove they can properly load, unload, and shoot their weapon and must pass a test to get a license."

"After hundreds of years of letting local cantons determine gun rules, Switzerland passed its first federal regulations on guns in 1999, after the country's crime rate increased during the 1990s.

Since then, more provisions have been added to keep the country on par with EU gun laws, and gun deaths, including suicides, have continued to drop."

Those are some great points, Bill. We appreciate your support for common-sense gun control and regulation.

Sour grapefruit shouldn't be given easy access to assault weapons.

Of course he condemned it, Trump's not a racist.

You could easily tell he didn't want to say what he was told he had to say. Then he laid all of the blame on mental illness and video games, even though there is no evidence of mental illness or video games influence.

Just compare his "condemnation" of racism to how animated and boisterous he becomes when talking about "infestations".

The Land That Time Forgot

One problem: City Hall doesn't get anywhere near a single billion dollars, let alone the "billions" Trump has repeatedly proclaimed.

The federal web site that tracks spending -- USAspending.gov -- says individuals, agencies and other institutions in Baltimore have received roughly $8 billion over the past two years. But the vast majority has not gone to City Hall to distribute, according to the website, which is the federal government clearinghouse for spending data.

For example, at least $3 billion has gone to the Johns Hopkins University, Johns Hopkins Medical Services Corp. and the University of Maryland for research, medical care and other programs. More than $600 million pays for vouchers and other rental housing subsidies, money that winds up in the hands of landlords to help pay rent for low-income city residents.

A billion of the money represents payments by the Social Security Administration to retirees and disabled people, while nearly half a billion goes to Baltimore City Public Schools as "Title I" support to provide extra services for students from poor families. About $200 million goes to nonprofit agencies that help people with HIV or AIDS. Another $100 million has gone to college students through the federal Pell Grant program to help pay tuition.

According to Baltimore's official budget reports, the city government itself has received $380 million in federal assistance over the last two fiscal years for operating and capital expenses.

The chart isn't just comparing Trump to the others. The chart is proof that the stock market does much better under Democrat Presidents.

As for Trump, his effect on the market is pretty ho hum so far.

Can any Trump supporter explain why he claimed California's wildfires were its own fault yet he's willing to assist Russia with theirs?

If only there was some sort of agreement that could have prevented this conflict.

The sad part is Trump finally jumps aboard your party's agenda and you STILL go all nutso on him.

Strange, I can't find anything about "help Putin with Siberian wildfires" in the Democratic Party Platform.

As usual, the media spins everything to the point where they are directly using propaganda to sway peoples' opinions instead of reporting the news.

What spin? What propaganda? You think the media is lying about what the National Cathedral said? The media somehow hijacked its website and Twitter feed?

But milk didn't cost $9/gallon before the aid payments. Are you saying milk could be $9/gallon now because of Trump's tariffs?

I think you might want to check out the article this thread is about.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday grew visibly angry after a reporter informed him that a recent poll showed that the vast majority of black Americans believe he is a racist.

While talking with reporters on the White House lawn, one reporter asked the president why 80 percent of black voters in a Quinnipiac poll said that he was racist. The same poll also showed that 89 percent of black voters said they would "definitely" not vote for Trump in 2020.

"You know why? Because the fake news doesn't report it properly," Trump said. "People like you! Fake news does not report it properly! If the news reported it properly, the right way, like instead of a statement like you just made, if the news reported it properly for all of the things I've done for African-Americans ... I think I'd do very well with the African Americans!"

"President Obama, you have a big job to do. Go to Baltimore and bring both sides together. With proper leadership, it can be done! Do it."

- Donald Trump, April 28 2015

Typical Trump. Blames everything on the President, becomes President, blames anyone else.

President Donald Trump is expected to speak in September at the House Republicans' annual private retreat in the city the president just called "the worst run and most dangerous anywhere in the United States": Baltimore, Maryland.

"No human being would want to live there," Trump tweeted over the weekend in an unprecedented, racist attack against a venerated Democratic Congressman, Elijah Cummings. He also called the "Charm City" a "disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess," and a "very dangerous & filthy place."

Trump, as is tradition, is expected to address the GOP lawmakers during their annual retreat – meaning he would have to travel to the town he labeled a "corrupt mess" on Saturday.

The Washington Post, which first reported the GOP's latest plans, say it "could present an uncomfortable situation for Trump."

John Wayne wept.

Almost everything about Wayne was exaggerated, from his cowboy strut (which he modeled after real cowboys after a director mocked him for "skipping like a goddamn fairy") to his hairpiece, which he started wearing in the '40s. But that's nothing compared to his guilt complex for refusing to sign up to fight in World War II, which led in no small part to him starring in four million or so testosterone-drenched war movies.

It's not clear why he didn't use his connections to get a job behind a desk or to make training films. Whatever the case, he was well aware that doing this carried a stigma. At a publicity tour at a hospital in Hawaii, Wayne was booed by wounded Navy personnel who got annoyed by a phony macho guy trying to give them a pep talk.
