Doodley's JournalMore Americans Killed by Guns Since 1968 Than in All U.S. Wars Combined
More Americans have died from gunshots in the last 50 years than in all of the wars in American history.
Since 1968, more than 1.5 million Americans have died in gun-related incidents, according to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. By comparison, approximately 1.2 million service members have been killed in every war in U.S. history, according to estimates from the Department of Veterans Affairs and iCasualties.org, a website that maintains an ongoing database of casualties from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Yes, Donald Trump did choose to defend Russia's "tiny" Facebook blitz of fake news!
Trump simply will not ever criticize Russia for election meddling, but he has plenty to complain about when it comes to any legitimate US media outlets that are critical of his presidency.

A question: What should other nations do if they believe Trump is a threat to world peace?
Deranged Tweets, demented behavior, ignorance of basic facts, and dangerous actions have led to headlines like those below, but what actions could or should world leaders take to protect the world from Donald Trump?

World Leaders Call For Calm After Trump Threatens North Korea
As U.S. President Donald Trump lashed out at North Korea in response to its reported nuclear program advancements, world leaders urged an immediate de-escalation of tensions with the rogue state.

Mired in record low approval ratings at home, President Donald Trump is even less popular globally, with a majority describing him as dangerous, arrogant and intolerant.

What if Trump has the same mindset and the same intent as the Las Vegas shooter?
Suppose that Trump wanted to inflict damage upon us. Do you see any evidence of that so far? And suppose this is the "calm before the storm," and the difference is that Trump doesn't have guns but nuclear codes.
Trump wants to cut billions from FEMA, National Flood Insurance program and the Coastguard
This photo opportunity of pretending to care does not match his intent to screw flood victims. That SHOULD be the story the media should report on.
Trump could have seen a huge poll boost after Harvey if he was capable of showing empathy.
He did not meet flood victims, sounded insincere when he spoke in generic terms about healing and how everyone is working hard, continued to Tweet and attack people in a vindictive manner and signed more nasty, mean-spirited policies.
If he had paused all his divisive Tweeting and his callous agenda during the storm period, actually met with flood victims and personally showed he cares, and held a media announcement every day to update the nation and say what he was personally doing, he would have seen a bounce in his approval numbers.
But it shouldn't be about approval numbers, it should be about doing the right thing. A million dollars is like a father giving a child a cheap toy because he can't be there on the child's birthday. It is a token, and not a way to show actual empathy. The fact is that Trump is incapable of showing empathy for others. He cannot even pretend to do that. Every single action from Trump is always about Trump, and more and more people see that. He is incapable of even imagining what it is like to be somebody who is desperate for help and wasn't born with a silver spoon up his ass.
God, look at all the help Trump has had all his life from his rich Daddy, all the corporate bailouts in his bankruptcies, to
all the contractors he has screwed over, all the students of Trump university, all the tax dodges and insurance fiddles. He is the ultimate freeloader but wants to cut billions from FEMA, the coastguard, the National Flood Insurance Program, etc. After the disaster in Texas, he should announce those programs are safe from cuts, but that won't happen, because all his life, he has screwed other people. He doesn't see other people as human beings. They are disposable objects and are only of value if they reward him in some way.
