President Trump & the USA

[Carl the Llama]

Oh and now there's been another shooting in the USA, this time at a Walmart in Colorado.  

[Guest FriendlyRam]

Cant see him ever being removed,, he seems to wiggle his way out of everything. His son in law met russians at his hotel? Yet Trump didnt know about it

 

Hes a scumbag but no matter how much dirt they dig up on everyone around him... he seems to the only one who knew nothing about it.. its laughable.

Sums it up

Interesting that these are claimed to be posted via Russia trolls, but wouldn't be surprised if the allegations are true.

Apparently "cricket fields" are not anglo...at least according to a recent local New Jersey political campaign:

 

 

It's like the whole "n***** for a neighbour" again.

 

And a little look at word analysis of Trumps Tweets after various events...

 

Interesting stuff.

To be fair, you could switch the titles and that would pretty much some up the left side of politics both sides of the pond.

Yeah, but the left side aren't running the show in the US right now and setting policy to that effect.

Colour me surprised that the administration didn't fight this one more.

Only in America would a nutjob be voted in as leader.

But probably not the only individual who won an election via illegal external assistance, for sure..

"Clean coal" huh? That's as much an oxymoron as "Decent Kermo". Still, at least there seems to be some pushback.

Utter madness, the White House wants to talk about the role fossil fuels can play in solving climate change

 

It's as blatant a case of an administration getting in bed with big business as you're ever likely to see. I wonder how many of Trump's supporters still believe he's draining the swamp?  Clearly he just wanted to clear space for a fracking plant.

The really scary thing is, it's so commonplace now, it's almost not big news anymore! Apart from the poor sods who have had their lives either ended, or utterly ruined.

That it would come to this....being expected...

How many more incidents like this will it take to get the president to make a firmer stance on gun laws.

It wouldn't make much of a difference. A lot of these mass shooting are with illegally obtained or modified weapons. Making something illegal doesn't solve a cultural problem.

Then I'm curious as to how the problem DOES get solved.

 

Better mental health care would seem to be part of it but then this administration doesn't seem to want to make that readily and easily accessible either.

The state should give everybody a gun and state-provided firearms training at age 12.  If the people in the church were all armed this wouldn't have happened.

It’s incredibly sad to say but I’m afraid that horse has bolted.
