5. I predict one of two things:
Mon Oct 2, 2017, 09:13 AM
Oct 2017

1) He starts talking about either his election win, or how great he is doing in Puerto Rico.

2) He manages to appear so insincere that it will negate any teleprompted words of sympathy he uses.

He's probably happy that this has taken the focus off his many other fuck-ups.

but how many of you think he will use this as a reason to NOT go to Puerto Rico.
I'm convinced this is how he thinks.

I hate myself for even getting into that fevered head.

He'll fumble and smirk, belch up some mossy platitudes, burp about God, lob some thoughts and prayers and stumble off to the nearest golf course.

I'd as soon invite cancer to "comfort" my lymph nodes as listen to Shitstain "comfort" a nation.

and how absolutely essentially it will remain to not do a damn thing that will infringe upon those rights in any way, shape or form.

when things like this happen. But with this bozo in the White House, I’m modifying that belief to include: “depending on who the president is.”

at a time like this.

He brings nothing but his ego and ignorance to any situation. He makes everything worse.

Yes, he can even make 50 dead and over 400 injured worse simply by speaking about it. He doesn't know words of comfort and concern. He is incapable of sympathy.

Look how he is dealing with Puerto Rico - at the cruelty he directs toward them.

Will someone have the decency to stop him now, before he strikes again?

Don't allow that man to speak to the nation - ever again.

The words “country music festival” will pierce the fog that is his spongiform mind, and the few remaining neurons holding that almost-useless mass of tissue together will flash “good white people who probably voted for you and were not scary minorities or nasty women out to get you while you sleep”.

So we have good odds his remarks will be authentic and his expression of condolence will be sincere

Not.

He's a buffoon and he cannot possible say anything to help this. He should just go golfing.

Our agony over this horrible incident will be prolonged by:


1.) the NRA's standard CYA statement, as buttressed by its bought-and-paid-for D.C. talking heads; and

2.) the inevitable weepy-assed country-western ballad to be released in a few days by Jason Aldean or somebody equally untalented.


But hey! At least the shooter wasn't a terrorist!
