The (Latest) Texas Mass Shooting

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Here are the basics:
The truck driver dude got fired from his job. He got really pissed-off. He got pulled-over on a traffic stop. He sprayed three officers with his AR-15 at his side, correctly described by the Midland PD as an "assault rifle". He was engaged by an armed private citizen who tried but couldn't withstand the lethality of an AR-15 and the shooter shot 'em dead. He proceeded to kill or wound his other victims until his commandeered postal delivery truck was rammed by a police vehicle and the police shot the shooter dead.
In response to the above, a Texas REPUBLICAN lawmaker stated we don't need more gun control laws. We, instead, need to pray. Another official in Texas gave his list of priorities such as donating blood, providing appropriate communications, aid and comfort BUT the most important thing to do is to pray.
Now, this case illustrates how an AR-15 -armed shooter can take down trained multiple trained officers/ private armed citizens/ and continue to do so while driving down the road. So you do have to pray.
Or:
It's just to bad Rich "Dagger" Davis or Mel "Melvin" Maki weren't around to handle the situation because they really know what they're talking about when it comes to these types of scenarios. Greg "Shooter" Shaffer probably could have ended it sooner but he was too busy observing...

The Walrus Is Gone!

Posted By Rod Kaufman

John Bolton bites it! He, along with a multitude of others, depart the TRUMP administration on less than amicable terms. 
Ah, yes, those distant echoes of TRUMP saying he's going to surround himself with the "best people"! It's like him saying we're going to have the biggest and the best health care insurance at the lowest cost. Or that perennial favorite of Greg, Mexico paid for the wall!!!

Never mind the fact that most of the 9-11 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia, but now Donny is taking orders from Prince Bone Saw? And you republicans are OK with this?    
Pence's chief of staff cleared it up last night by stating "locked and loaded" as tweeted by Trump meant that we're locked and loaded with petroleum products.
I'm sure that's ok with the Republicans and the guys on the forum, too...

Ok, troll, Nobody in their right mind thinks "locked and loaded" has anything to do with petroleum products or anything other than what locked and loaded actually means. Meanwhile, Pompeo is calling the attack, "an act of war" while Trump is calling for more financial sanctions against Iran which is what Obama did...

Why the non-sensical reversal when it's easy to find multiple accounts on video where Trump, Mnuchin, Pompeo and others all said that they would meet with Iran without preconditions? No one knows except that for Trump lying is as natural as breathing, and his policies seem to mostly be driven by whatever his daily whim happens to be. Trump is so desperate to make a deal with Iran that he's floated the idea of giving them a $15Bn line of credit to come back to the table. This bribe is far worse of a capitulation than simply unfreezing Iran's assets under JCPOA. So, why scrap a perfectly fine deal that the entire international community agreed to, and is still trying to honor, only to offer up an even bigger surrender than anything the JCPOA offered? It must be, as Britain's ambassador said, "an act of diplomatic vandalism," simply because his predecessor agreed to it. And to think that Trump voters still tell us that Hillary could not be trusted with our national security because of her emails.
Yup, since Trump unilaterally backed-out of the agreement, Iran has mined tankers in the Persian Gulf, shot down two of our own drones, and bombed the key oil facilities of the chief oil exporter of the world. (Not to mention ramping up its enrichment capabilities). In response, the only kick from the bony spurs of our president has been to say we're locked and loaded, albeit with our own petroleum products. That's why we're now transferring troops to guard the oil fields in Saudi Arabia and we're about to dig up Alaska, too. I knew there was a reason...
At least Israel and Saudi Arabia are co-bombing Iranian facilities in Syria.

Ya gotta admit, Rich is a regular prophet because he knows what you and CNN will say and do. It's a safe bet, the troll saw this one coming too:
