    If I wasn't such a dense moron, I'd be able to pick up on that brand of humor.

    Kamala was all over this like white on rice. You have to appreciate her work ethic.

    This looks like a drug bust gone sideways, and doesn't fit the pattern of a disaffected individual looking to maximize his body count. It does hold this in common with terrorist shootings, suicidal shootings, and workplace/school shootings -- easy access to powerful guns.

    republicans hoping that they can simply wait out any outrage and demand for action re: gun controls. But if hiding out on recess doesn't work, they can resort to trump-like lying...

    Memo reveals a House Republican strategy on shootings: downplay white nationalism, blame left
    The GOP memo falsely pinned the El Paso massacre and other notable mass shootings on the left.

    Other than the idiot MAGA crowd, I am skeptical this is going to work and will further eradicate endangered House Republicans in suburban areas.

    BUt then again, House Republicans are mostly composed of absolute ****ing idiots like Louie Gohmert, Devin Nunes, Jim Jordan, etc - like, literally, complete idiots, due to the extinction of Republicans in swing districts which has concentrated all of the idiots into one white male stew of stupid.

    Good luck with that plan, boys. And by boys I mean boys, due to the ever-shrinking number of female House GOP'rs.

    You found a weak point in my argument. Impressive. Maybe you forget logic only when it comes to defending the right/Trumpers after all. Did the left come up with an analogy to the TDS yet? Let me call this behavior trolling till they do.

    Anyways, liable doesn't necessarily mean "equally liable". The point that idealogy is very important when it comes to affecting minds and causing violence stands. You can't simply ignore it by calling perpetrators psychos when their idealogy spurred them to violence and happens to be similar to the ideology of the party/leader you appear to be with. Name calling won't help you sidetrack the conversation from that fact.

    The hill article is quoting this memo differently. Could you please double check. You potentially might want to refute/correct your post as it might be misinformation in its current form. The hill only mentions Dayton shooter and not the El Paso shooter - which would be much less of a blatant lie.

    Thanks

    That's not correct. The congressman when confronted with the memo said he meant Dayton. But the memo originally went out saying El Paso.

    Quoting the memo:

    https://www.tampabay.com/florida-po...otings-downplay-white-nationalism-blame-left/

    And after confronted:

    https://www.tampabay.com/florida-po...otings-downplay-white-nationalism-blame-left/

    Of course, the memo had been sent and read already. "Oops"

    HOUSTON - As many as seven people were shot during a party at an east Houston home to which nearly 50 people were invited via Snapchat, police said.

    Police said officers responded to a call about 1:45 a.m. to a home on Mylla Street, near Falcon Street, where a shooting with multiple victims was reported. As officers were responding, more calls about the shooting were received.

    You leftist have been so wrong. The GOP is clearly doing much more than just thoughts and prayers.
