Student walk out of prayer vigil after Democratic Senator and politicians attempt to co-opt it for their political agenda.  Is this where I'm supposed to call them "chumps"?   Good to finally see those who exploit tragedy be called out on it, but I don't expect most of you to be aware of this story since the main shooter was an Anti-Trump nutjob and the other shooter was transgender.  Never forget to exploit a tragedy.  "DO SOMETHING!"

Just read it on yahoo too, took a while to see exactly what happened (plus one twitter video  in it seems to have no audio). Having said that, yes in the end I agree with the kids 100% & the grownups effed this up.

Essentially, in a nutshell, the 'Township' offered to put together a vigil/night of remembereance. Well, all they did was have some nameless, bonehead politicians take a limo into town & give podium speeches about gun control, change the laws etc... Wasn't the time or the place for it, and the kids felt a bit misled as they were under the impression it would've been (and should've been) about the student who was killed, memorializing him, remembering him, and all being there for one another. Kinda like the days we all felt after 9/11.

Instead some dipshit shows up to town & give a near campaign rally.

** I made up the limo part, although it could be true

RF also implies that only anti-trump people go on shooting rampages...

There's a major difference between following campaign members, doing background checks & investigations, and speaking with others who may have insights into them, as opposed to seeking and accepting hacked/illegally stolen items. Huge difference. Plus AFAIK legally Trump was supposed to report this info to the FBI, per campaign law. They gave thiem the benefit of the doubt cause they're too stupid to know & too reckless to ask.

Yea...I agree. You hit the nail right on the head here.

Half truths are what he does best.

More accurately "lying."

Flagg, Buzz and their benighted ilk want to talk about stupid shit. Typing up lengthy diatribes and viotriolic posts chock full of lies in hopes that you won't notice the crazy things Trump is doing almost every day. Don't get distracted by the angry clown show, while our country is essentially on fire.

Honest question:  Does anyone else feel it's occasionally somewhat implied that the russian lawyer who met with Trump & Kush & all might have been a setup?  Almost like a sting operation setup by the Feds. 

I've gotten that impression once or twice, and can't quite get a grasp on it.  If it was, I can't imagine her being much welcomed back in Russia.

If I cared, I'd be more interested in knowing why this matters this time, but not other times politicians have met with Russia.  I don't get too excited about the selective outrage generated these days. Politicians meet with people from other countries. Business people meet with people from other countries. What exactly makes this one so special?  Because you don't like him you assume something illegal happened? But it's okay when your side did it? If you're going to be pissed, get pissed about all of it, otherwise you get dismissed immediately as prejudiced.

Likely about his (false) statements about not discussing the setup of a meeting with the Russian national, or his discussion with Cohen over Trump Moscow.
