48. Yup - I'm so sick of "don't politicize and the now is not the time" argument.

WTF?? When is the time, and why should it not be politicized?

How many more people have to die?

I'm completely confused when they want to deal with this? Before these tragedies, Marco Rubio was recently trying to make a villain out of Rep Omar's statements re: the radicalization of White Men- and what should be done

Meanwhile the FBI says this is the biggest terroristic threat to us. Rubio latched on to what Congresswoman Omar said and wanted to call her racist. WTF??

So what the fuck do they want to do? Thoughts and Prayers should be enough while the public just hopes not to get shot down as they go about their day? Fuck them!
