Trump is worried he’ll be upstaged tomorrow. Will be a fun speech.

Interesting how Congress isn't even pretending like they might come back to DC after these shootings. I guess that Miller Lite at Gulf Shores is just too cold.
If they truly only cared about the 2A and gun owners, the Republicans would be rushing to get some red flag legislation ready when they return. Keeping guns out of the hands of mentally ill should be something they can all get behind, as well as the NRA.
Instead, they bitch about video games and tell everybody to fuck off, opening the way for e Democrats to sweep in and get a stricter sequel to the AWB from 1994-2004.

Barrack Hussein Obama II won both of his elections by triple-digit electoral votes. Trump won by 77, and three of the states he needed were by less than 80,000 combined, and he won’t win all three of those states again.
When Republicans in Texas are jumping off the ship, you know they are seeing something.

What I am becoming convinced of is that while there is voter apathy, there is a little bit less voter apathy of late, and that should scare the shit out of the GOP. Representatives in Texas see the handwriting on the wall. They won by single digits in districts carved specifically to give GOP candidates easy wins. I think you are going to see a lot bigger turnout among younger voters, minorities and a flight from the GOP by more educated whites in the Suburbs.
None of those guys retires if they think they can win next year, and odds are good they are all basing part (all?) of their decisions off of data they are sharing at the state level.

She got the wrong school. Apparently there is more than one Liberty Christian Academy.

So Gaffigan is getting all serious now. Interesting.

It's fucking amazing that The Wall is even more relevant in 2019 than it was in 1979.

It was dark sarcasm. In no way does one maniac’s support for a candidate representative of that candidate’s appeal to a broader electorate
In the classroom?

For heavy 2nd amendment supporters, I would be cautious about Trump at this moment. Trump is not an ideologue. His compass has one setting, what is good for Trump. If he thinks gun controls laws are the best for his chances in 2020, the 2nd Amendment is going to be swept under the rug.
I'm not saying he would back outlawing all guns but that's not what the public is asking for anyway. Plus given that the NRA is embroiled with internal and external problems, they may not have the strong political muscle at this point. And Trump isn't worried about his gun-loving base. He can tell them to drink sand, and they will ask for more.
On the one hand, I agree that Trump is ambivalent about the 2A. He's made comments in the past (cops should be able to take guns and worry about warrants later), and his history shows that he's ambivalent.
I do think his base would turn on him though. Plenty got pissed that he said something bad about white supremacy. Threaten their guns and they'll stay home.

In all this back and forth over an assault weapons ban and the Constitutionality thereof, let's summarize a couple of key points:
1. the US enforced a Federal assault weapons ban from 1994-2004
2. Federal courts have upheld on appeal and flat out denied subsequent final appeal over arguments against the Constitutionality of Maryland's current ban on "assault long guns" (AR-15, AK-47, etc.) and high capacity magazines.
This is settled law. Such a ban does not infringe on anyone's 2A rights. If anyone argues to the contrary, counter with these 2 points, and then watch them twist themselves into some vague "protect my family" corner when in fact the courts have ruled that these are WEAPONS OF WAR with little use for self-defense.
The nuts would love to pretend like 1994-2004 never existed. The thing is, because they are unwilling to budge even a little bit, there will end up being something more draconian to come along, when the Democrats don't have to worry about being bipartisan. And the Democrats will have a roadmap (thanks to all of the legal challenges) for an AWB that is much more thorough.

Trump to visit El Paso on Wednesday - this should go swimmingly.
He'll probably hang out at Fort Bliss, but he will be disappointed by the golfing.

Also ... a white supremacist conference at a state park in Tennessee seems like a great place for the FBI and other counter terrorism agencies to infiltrate.
If I was an FBI agent wanting to study these folks, I'd come up with a conference to bring them all to me.

Not disappointed by various Internet forums that support Trump - they aren't happy he's talking about about white supremacy being bad.

I always assumed they wanted organized prayer back in school so when the little children closed their eyes in prayer, at least they wouldn't have to see the barrel of the gun.

The names aren't going to be a deterrent.
Now showing how they end up...might be. Plaster photos around of the would-be Dallas courthouse dude, of him laying there with a bullet hole in the middle of his chest. The photo of the fat-ass from the Dayton shooting laying sprawled across the sidewalk. Broadcast the EP shooter being put to death.

Maybe I'm more cynical than you. But this strikes me as yet another Republican only coming around on an issue when it threatens him personally. He was fine with Trump blasting illegal immigrants because he isn't an illegal immigrant. He was fine with Trump blasting Muslims because he isn't a Muslim. But when white supremacists really start coming for people who resemble him, then he says something. And even then, he doesn't dare criticize Trump's rhetoric.
I figure he's just being a political opportunist, but that's a good point about his being personally threatened. Then again, it wouldn't surprise me if he had some kind of personal security of some type.
And as you can see in that link above, he's catching plenty of flak from the Trumpkins.

Sounds like the Dayton cops had this dude liquidated in under a minute.
Looking at the photos of his corpse, he was a pretty big guy who wasn't going to be moving very fast.

Freepers not happy that Arbusto dared criticize white supremacists.

Some intern must have showed Cruz some polls/social media/something to make him temporarily have a moment of clarity and run the risk of pissing off the Trumpanzees.

Yep. I hope the Ds are prepared to fight as hard and nasty as the Rs. I'm not sure they are.
A handful are, but not many, and not as organized as the Rs.
Right now, the Rs are circling the wagons and prepping for their unified talking points.
