Yet we do the same things, over and over, expecting a different result. We are a nation held captive by morons
Yes, and grifters, beholden to the gun lobby dollars.
Gun stocks up after shooting. NRA at work
Congrats on first, df!
It makes me ill, and I want to weep when these shootings happen, but it no longer surprises me. Not after Sandy Hook. When gun laws in the US only became even more relaxed after the Sandy Hook massacre, I knew right then and there that those in congress who blocked common sense gun legislation are clearly barbaric, malignant, non-human parasites. UGH. đŚ
Sigh! Greetings, TODobots. There is no point my saying anything about the shootings. This may sound callous but there is nothing really surprising about it.
May everyoneâs week go uphill from here!
NOTHING SURPRISING AT ALL…AMERICANS HAVE DONE A WONDERFUL JOB OF EXISTING IN IGNORANCE AND ENHANCING HATEFUL VERBAGE,RACISM AND TRUMPISM…THEY SHOULD NOT BE SURPRISED AT THE RESULTS OF WALLOWING WITH TRUMP IN THE SWAMP!
An industry that profits massively and unaccountably from slaughter is the problem.
All the gun sense, gun control, gun safety, …… yadayadayadayada …. is a total waste of oxygen.
Take care everyone ….

Not gone unnoticed.
DOESNâT TAKE HIM LONG TO RESPOND TO THIS…BUT Puerto Rico..QUITE A DIFFERENT STORY..I GUESS HE THINKS COLORS ARE OPTIONAL!..GO TO HELL TRUMP AND LIVE WITH YOUR FLAMING FRIENDS!
yup, caught these shitty ‘suggestionsâ on teann. gun nuts over public. freedumb indeed.
1st and 2nd, twisted far from their original intent, will be the root causes of american decline.
THEY DONâT BELIEVE IN GOD..THEY BELIEVE IN GUNS AND THINK THEY ARE BIGGER THAN GOD!..I WANT TO WATCH!
isis - see what putin got for his trolling murkan msm? why donât we try it?
‘VOMITâ
That bar is so low, itâs underground.
They all have failed upwards with zero talent into their undeserved fat paychecks. They can definitely relate to that turd.
Do these two CNN talking heads remember him tweeting about the San Juan Mayor ?.
This!
BOYCOTT CNN. They are trying desperately to normalize Trump. Stop supporting their efforts.
When people keep voting for the political party which worships guns and is controlled by the NRA, there will be no changes in public policy vis-a-vis guns.
Enough. Enough. Enough.
True. It doesnât matter who he voted for. The issue is gun violence and lack of gun control in this country.
Every time a white person kills a bunch of people, the RWers talk about ‘Chicago black-on-black crimeâ.
They CERTAINLY donât give a damn that a black people are killing each other. Iâm sure that Trumpâs white supremacist base LOVES it.
So why do they bring it up?
Because itâs the only way they can think to shift accountability from white murderers, as if to say ‘If you let black people go around shooting other people every day, why do you want to make a white guy accountable?â
More insidiously, it comes up like clockwork when a black person is killed by a white person. I would bet money that the rationale is ‘Black people kill each other daily. Why should a white man pay for doing the same thing?â
Again, itâs not as if these racist right-wingers are concerned that people they regard as criminals and thugs are dying.
When Behavioral Scientist at Quantico that study criminal behavior for a living start saying that black people are more prone to be mass murderers then Iâll listen. Statistics are a wonderful thing, people lie, politicians lie, but numbers donât lie. Go to any university that has a criminal justice department or any police academy and talk to any instructor that studies criminal behavior and they can say with certainty 5 or 6 characteristics that all mass murderers share. Leroy or Pookie or J.J. donât turn into mass murderers.
White people canât be terrorists according to Rightwingers.
I woke up to the horror that took place overnight in Las Vegas and I swear I wanted to throw up my hands and give the heck up. A sick person kills dozens of babies several years ago and this country does nothing. Mass shootings have taken place all over this country year end and year out even after those babies were violently killed and now today. I was tired and then I looked at a picture that my daughter in law so happened to have posted yesterday evening (timing is everything) of my heart and soul and I was shaken back into reality. Itâs not about me or my disgust. Itâs about the future of this country.
I will continue the fight for these and all the other future generations who we want to leave this place a better place.
Theyđare why I must remain hopeful!!!
Oh my goodness, Donna. What a super sweet photo of your precious gorgeous babies. Thanks so much for sharing. Theyâve grown so much! Just really beautiful. It lifted my spirits on this horrible day.
As long as the NRA and the GOP dominate our Congress and our airwaves and that cretin 45 threatens nuclear war so nonchalantly, I donât know how to deal with the physical and mental anguish of so much facilitated evil.
Too Sweet for words.
Thanks Donna. Itâs what the TOD Doctor ordered.
They are lovely.
yessssssssssssss…..Donna..if you do not mind…please post your on your page…..i saw this pic of your adorable sweeties…i know how you feel
â¤ď¸â¤ď¸
Adorable angels:) My how they have grown!
Oooooo, itâs T & S (the very heart of our future)! Itâs so, so great to see them! Very cool, Grandma DD - Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful!! They look like loads of fun.
A pair of beauties and sweetness! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the photo, Donna. We have not seen the twins in awhile. So much beauty, innocence and hope.
Your beautiful girls!!!!! Thanks for sharing their adorableness.
Oh my, Donna! Beyond precious! â¤â¤â¤
back to work ….
Amen. Especially to your last point. Anyone who owns a weapon should be heavily vetted and there is never a justification for anyone to own an assault weapon.
More sadness.
My sister loves his music. At 66yo. Way too young.
RIP Tom Petty.
So sorry to hear this. He was a legend. RIP Tom.
This must re-traumatize anyone whoâs every been involved in a shooting.
Donna your two little rays of sunshine have just made my day, they sure are growing
Woke up this AM & heard about The Las Vegas Terror Attacks.
Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
#WeThePeople in US, keep ignoring Bloody Massacres Time after Time, hoping that It will go away, hoping for a better outcome? Nope. Expecting a different result is nothing but Insanity. Willful Ignorance is Pure Wickedness.
Hello TODbots.
GA, as it is.

Tom Petty has passed. He was 66 đŚ
Wow. Just wow.
RIP Tom Petty
The entire thread. All of it.
Over 3,000 ads. Paid for in rubles. Still had no fucking clue. $$ talks
Someone please bitchslap this idiot. This is NOT FREEDOM!
What do you expect from a scumbag? No, the price of freedom is not the blood of innocent victims of gun violence. That doesnât make a lick of sense to rational people. But Rightwingers arenât rational.
Hypocrite jackass.
Democrats need to raise the question that D.L. Hughley asked today and that the media is too culpable to raise to the GOP: The shooter hit nearly 600 people. Why does anyone need that kind of capability?
To imply that youâre not “free” unless you get to own a weapon that can kill this many is NRA-bought bullshit.
Why does the MSM keep pushing for us to find Trump presidential? Heâs not now and never will be. They need to stop.
Itâs such an idiotic suggestion that it makes you wonder about people who are pushing it. Looking at you, Congressional Republicans.
If you canât hear the shot you will have time to kill more people and get away more easily. So the mass shootings would be worse and more people could get away with murder. NRA dream?
Raising hand: I can housesit their Kalorama home while theyâre in NYC! đđđŻ
Then we could come and visit you. We could have a wonderful meditation time.
I hope this is True.
I hope Tom Petty would find the Light, back to Earth.
Brava.
Thatâs not enough. Not enough.
Meanwhile, anyone and everyone close to Dotardâs administration ALWAYS remembers one more contact with RUSSIA. Months after the fact.
So true, David Corn!
And, of course, …
