Re: 2016 Election
I honestly think American Talk Radio on both sides of the aisle is just terrible. Always hear about the conservative crazies, and wouldn't dream to tune in. But after a recent car purchase, I received 3 or something months free Sirius XM, and tuned into Sirius "Progress" or something like that, the liberal equivalent. It was awful. No intelligent discussion or analysis, just underhanded stabs, shallow commentary, ranting, etc. I.e., although I would probably agree with respect to at least some of the issues, I thought they were no better than Rush Limbaugh. Pitiful.

Re: 2016 Election
But I can see the arguments now - "if only everyone there had a gun to defend themselves with" (probably a lot more than 50 would have been killed as it would have become a shoot-em-up ...).
And they are calling this the biggest (something) ever ... but what about Timothy McVeigh / Oklahoma ....
ETA: just heard on TV that he was armed with 'An Assault Rifle" ... I'm sure that will stir up some gun-nut commentary ...

Plus, the guy was apparently US born; so you could ban all the Moooslims you want, this guy was a citizen (I presume).

Re: 2016 Election
Someone just posted a link on FB about Orlando and all the comments I saw were along the lines of 'Well that's good, they were gays' 'Should get all gays in clubs and shoot them all'. Humans are ****ed up.

Has anyone blamed the victims because they were gay? It's only a matter of time before they do.

Re: 2016 Election
It's two sides of the same coin. Both religions are derived from the same mythology, are filled with the same amount of hate towards 'the gays' (just one example), are each responsible for countless wars and atrocities, and are both utter fictional bullshit.

Re: 2016 Election
What a vile piece of shit he is. From what I can gather from various god botherers, god apparently loves everyone. Some even say that 'they hate the sin but love the sinner' or some such bulllshit. This guy calls himself a) human and b) christian and he's glad these people died? I don't understand.
