    Pro Lifers when a bunch of kids die: Get over it! Pro Lifers when they lose at anything: FIGHT LIKE HELL!

    When people call out the media for not being harder on Trump, I point to stories like this.

    People shouldn’t need editorials to explain to them why this is a terrible thing to say.

      They shouldn’t, and yet they do.

      People aren’t rational actors. Look at Trump’s method of argumentation, look at the success it has throughout the US and around the world, and use that to help infer what people are actually convinced by.

        I’ve realized that you need to attach a paragraph referencing why it’s not the best outcome for kids to think they can just die at school, and no, praying kids also get the same outcomes.

        So they can just read the headline.

      The media doesn’t have to be hard on him when just reporting on what he says pretty much condemns him entirely.

        Exactly just reporting the facts is enough. If people still keep vote for Trump they are beyond saving anyways.

          I agree totally. When trump was first elected, I was horrified to think that there are people so low down and rotten they would want someone like that to be our president. I disassociated myself with neighbors and friends who were republican and I really retreated from society completely. Now I’m thinking it’s time to consider moving out of this country for good and letting the rats have their sinking ship to ride into ruin and damnation.

        I have posted this dozens of times since it occurred. Back after the 2016 election, there was a panel of the creators of TV’s top political dramas. House of Cards, Scandal, The West Wing, and others. All the writers and producers said the same thing; if they’d had a character say that they ‘liked soldiers who didn’t get captured’ the TV networks and advertisers would have demanded that the character be destroyed by a massive wave of public opinion.

          That’s so true and it just shows in way how trump supporters are willing to turn a blind eye so long as they think they are sticking it to the rest of us. What they don’t see is how it also corrupts them and ruins their own lives in the process.

            Trump had a lottery where the top prize was dinner with him in the White House. There has never been a single winner. Trump hates his voters more than he hates Obama, but they’ll happily die for him.

    As someone who has a friend who isn’t here anymore because he was murdered (albeit not by a gun and not in a school shooting), unnatural deaths aren’t something you “get over”, dick.

      It doesn’t matter how much you insult him. He and his ilk will never get it. Their entire families are born with a genetic defect that makes them incapable of having or understanding empathy.
