A new low for Trump:
Very sad that the FBI missed all of the many signals sent out by the Florida school shooter. This is not acceptable. They are spending too much time trying to prove Russian collusion with the Trump campaign - there is no collusion. Get back to the basics and make us all proud!

So many thoughts:
Firstly, this proves Trump wrong that this is a "hoax" (although we knew this was not.) Mueller essentially got Trump to admit this now. Trump now admits our elections were tampered with, but says he didn't collude.
Again, why does Trump REFUSE to enact sanctions against Russia? Will he continue to refuse sanctions even after this? If so, why?
This latest move makes it difficult,if not impossible, to get rid of Mueller without all hell breaking loose.
Robert Gates is about to flip now too. (Remember when a certain somebody here said it was preposterous that Flynn had begun to work with Mueller?) Who are these people giving information up on? Santa Claus? They're giving info on somebody higher up the chain. Knowing how high up both Flynn and Gates were, there isn't much further to go up. This is important to keep in mind.
The Russians thought the best way to create chaos in this country would be by getting Trump elected. That's certainly note worthy.
Bannon spent 20 hours be questioned by Mueller this last week.
Russia will clearly do this again, unless our gutless wonders in Congress and the WH take action. Will they now? What will the GOP do to protect our election process?
It's clear that by indicting the Russians, Mueller is also setting the stage for further charges against Americans. The primary focus seemed to be on Russians and social media in this indictment.
Trump said he believed Putin when he told him he didn't interfere in our election. Trump put Putin's word before our intelligence agencies. He's either lying, stupid or both. Either way, unfit to be POTUS.
Ultimately Trump put Russia's interest ahead of ours. He knowingly lied to the American people the whole time and said this was a hoax. Trump KNEW this wasn't true.

Sounds good to me. ^^^
And frankly there are PLENTY of things we can do that keeps the 2nd alive and well. The problem is that the NRA fuels the idea that it's all or nothing. Which of course it is not.

Should we raise the age to buy a gun to 25????
Maybe not a bad idea. The brain isn't fully developed at 18.
Good places to start, fellas.
A lot of these dudes end up being domestic abusers as well. Same with this guy and his girlfriend. Anyone wrapped up in that should be red-flagged for a gun purchase.
I like standing, no-questions-asked gun buybacks. Sure, murderers won’t turn theirs in, but maybe someone turns one in that might have been stolen one day and used in a crime. It’s something.
You’ve heard me say this again and again here: legalize pot and some other drugs. Fewer reasons to have guns for gangs. Use the tax money from pot to increase mental health services.
This is good...because it's something.
Any good group of lawmakers could roll out a combo of these ideas to address gun violence IMO.

Anybody else read about Gates? Sounds like he's about to flip too...
Guess we'll see soon.

Nothing can be done! Says the guys who don't want to do anything.
17 more dead kids is the result of doing nothing. Gun apologists like Flagg say laws won't matter, won't change anything. Same old tired argument. In the meantime...more carnage.
Such logic!

You got to admit, the definition of Nazi has gotten pretty broad lately...
They dress up in Nazi garb, have swastikas all over their clothes and skin, shout Nazi slogans and throw Nazi salutes.
I'd say that's about as close to a Nazi as you're going to get these days.

Conservatives have a Muslim hysteria, Liberals are doing the same with Nazis.

Nazis are marching down our streets and feel empowered by Trump. ISIS is not.
