I refound this today. It goes back to 2017. But it's very relevant to what has happened with this last shooter.

Trump Signs Bill Revoking Obama-Era Gun Checks for People With Mental Illnesses

"President Donald Trump quietly signed a bill into law Tuesday rolling back an Obama-era regulation that made it harder for people with mental illnesses to purchase a gun.

The rule, which was finalized in December, added people receiving Social Security checks for mental illnesses and people deemed unfit to handle their own financial affairs to the national background check database.

Had the rule fully taken effect, the Obama administration predicted it would have added about 75,000 names to that database".

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/trump-signs-bill-revoking-obama-era-gun-checks-people-mental-n727221?fbclid=IwAR2fmcn7WJjxer6S8lzEOxI6NX5uJGwEjRatXXNH2HW7OayaY1QjUYTmJVA

Trump didn't shoot all the people at Wal-mart. But he put a loaded gun in this mentally ill person hands. He revoked a law that was designed to keep AR15 or any other gun out of the hands of mentally ill people. And he did it out of spite for Obama. And look what it's getting us. No, Trump didn't pull the trigger. He just made it where someone else could. Trump is just as responsible for the death of these people as the actual shooter is. Trump calls himself a "stable genius". Stable geniuses don't revoke laws that are designed to save lives.

This one goes back a little way. It was right after Trump revoked the law that Obama put into place.


TEXAS CHURCH SHOOTING


"26 people were killed at First Baptist Church in rural Sutherland Springs, Texas, authorities said. The shooter fled and was pursued by a resident and police but was found dead after running his car off the road.

Law enforcement officials identified the alleged gunman as Devin Patrick Kelley, 26, of neighboring Comal County, Texas.

Kelley was court-martialed in 2012 on two charges of assaulting his spouse and their child, a U.S. Air Force spokeswoman confirmed. He was confined for a year, reduced in rank to airman basic E-1 and given a bad conduct discharge in 2014".

This goes back a good way. Even into Obamas years. But at least he tried to take guns of all kinds out of the reach of the mentally ill. Trump came along and put the gun back into there hands.

Trump smirked at the idea of shooting migrants at rally three months before El Paso massacre

"Donald Trump laughed and joked after a supporter suggested shooting Mexican migrants at a rally in May 2019.

The clip of the interaction is once again spreading across social media, as the US reels from the El Paso massacre.

“When you have 15,000 people marching up, and you have hundreds and hundreds of [immigrants], and you have two or three border security people that are brave and great – and don’t forget we don’t let them and we can’t let them use weapons,” Mr Trump said, to an audience of thousands in Florida".

Buttigieg links El Paso terror to white nationalism 'condoned by the highest level of our government'

"Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg blamed white nationalism, which he said is “condoned at the highest level of our government,” for the mass shooting in El Paso Saturday that killed 20 people. Police are investigating the attack as a possible hate crime".

After shooting, Democrat O'Rourke accuses Trump of stoking racism

"El Paso (United States) (AFP) - Democratic presidential hopeful Beto O'Rourke accused President Donald Trump Saturday of inciting hatred after a mass shooting in his Texas hometown that police are investigating as a possible hate crime.

Speaking to reporters outside a hospital in El Paso where he was visiting victims of the shooting, O'Rourke said Trump had proven himself a racist with his recent attacks on four ethnic minority congresswomen and his past branding of Mexicans as rapists.

"He is a racist and he stokes racism in this country. And it does not just offend our sensibilities, it fundamentally changes the character of this country and it leads to violence," said O'Rourke, who represented El Paso in the US Congress until recently".

2020 Democrats Rush to Bear Hug Obama After Offering Some Mild Criticism

"LAS VEGAS, NEVADA — Just days after Barack Obama’s legacy came under sustained criticism during the second round of Democratic presidential debates, the party’s leading candidates rushed to bear hug the former president and assure primary voters that they view him as nothing short of the gold standard.

“I did watch some of the criticisms of his administration in the debate. But I think overall if you look at him, it's pretty amazing actually, how smart he is, and what a good job he did of figuring out what to do,” said billionaire progressive activist Tom Steyer. “I think he had some real headwinds that he had to fight. But if you really look at what President Obama stood, for what he tried to do as well as what he did, really impressive".

President Trump's rhetoric not to blame for mass shootings: Mick Mulvaney

"cting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney said that no politician, including President Donald Trump, was to blame for shootings like those in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, which left at least 29 people dead this weekend.

As Democratic presidential candidates point the finger at the president's divisive rhetoric, Mulvaney said on ABC's "This Week" that the suspect who allegedly killed 20 people at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, appeared to have been motivated by beliefs he harbored before Trump became president.

"This was a sick person, the person in Dayton was a sick person," Mulvaney told ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl, during an interview Sunday. "No politician is to blame for that. The person who was responsible here are the people who pulled the trigger. We need to figure out how to kind of create less of those kinds of people as a society and not trying to figure out who gets blamed going into the next".

http://www.yahoo.com/gma/crazy-people-carry-shootings-not-able-guns-mulvaney-132405391--abc-news-topstories.html


Meanwhile, the House passed HR 8 in March. This bill establishes new background check requirements for firearm transfers between private parties and has had no action from the Senate. S894 was introduced in the Senate in April "To authorize dedicated domestic terrorism offices within the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to analyze and monitor domestic terrorist activity and require the Federal Government to take steps to prevent domestic terrorism." It too sits in the senate with no action since April. Some, but not all states have passed "Red Flag" laws which allow a family member or police to petition a judge to remove guns from individuals who pose a threat to themselves or others. We have seen no action on this from Congress.


When it comes to Trump, the White House, the Republican Senate, and Fox News:

“I am concerned for the security of our great Nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within.” - Douglas MacArthur

“America won’t fall from an outside source, it will fall by its own creation.” -Abe Lincoln

What’s inside the hate-filled manifesto linked to the alleged El Paso shooter

"Shortly before a gunman opened fire outside a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, killing 20 people and injured dozens more, a manifesto believed to be linked to him was posted online. It railed against a “Hispanic invasion” and laid out a plan to divide the United States into territories based on race.

Authorities believe 21-year-old Patrick Crusius wrote the document, though they are still gathering evidence.

It begins by praising the manifesto of the gunman who killed 51 Muslims at two mosques in New Zealand earlier this year. That document cited a white supremacist theory known as “The Great Replacement,” which postulates that a secret group of elites is working to destroy the white race by replacing them with immigrants and refugees.

“This attack is a response to the Hispanic invasion of Texas,” the manifesto says".

As world reels from violence in El Paso, some point to Trump’s rhetoric

"Two mass shootings that left 29 dead in the United States this weekend have prompted condemnation across the world and drawn comparisons between suspected racist motives behind one of the shootings and President Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric.

On Saturday, 20 people were killed in El Paso when a shooter opened fire at a shopping center in what investigators are calling a case of domestic terrorism. Federal authorities are “seriously considering” bringing hate crime charges against the suspected gunman.

Investigators delving into the background of the suspect have found a manifesto online, thought to be posted by the suspect, railing against the threat of a “Hispanic invasion".

"DON'T 'BLAME TRUMP': MANIFESTO TIED TO EL PASO SHOOTING RANTS ABOUT DEMOCRATS, HISPANICS INVADING COUNTRY".

"A manifesto tied to the alleged El Paso, Texas, shooter included ranting about Hispanic immigrants "replacing" European-American culture and pre-emptively defended President Donald Trump from media criticism.

Patrick Crusius, 21, of Allen, Texas, was arrested Saturday without law enforcement firing a single shot after he allegedly gunned down dozens of people, killing at least 20. The manifesto was posted to the website 8chan about an hour-and-a-half before the El Paso Walmart shooting began. Authorities have not yet definitively said whether the manifesto was written by Crusius and said they were still investigating the hateful screed. The manifesto has been published in its entirety by a conservative website, Drudge Report, and rails against Hispanics, immigrants and Republican Party "inaction" against the country's so-called destruction".

First look: Dems crush GOP in party registration

"A first look for Axios readers: Larry Sabato's Crystal Ball at the University of Virginia has a detailed map of where Democrats and Republicans are ahead in party registration among voters.

Why it matters, from Rhodes Cook: "The Democrats approach this fall’s midterm elections with an advantage in one key aspect of the political process — their strength in states where voters register by party."

Key numbers: Among the 31 states (plus D.C.) with party registration, there are nearly 12 million more registered Democrats than Republicans".

http://www.axios.com/democrats-crush-republican-party-registration-2018-midterms-872f7ad2-7a3b-4f7c-97b0-8070448e2df4.html


So, when you get right down to it, Republicans are already a minority. More Democrats than Republicans. And for some reason, the Republican party seems to think that the only way they can win, at least this time, is by pandering to racist and red neck thugs. They are desperate. The Republican party that once was no longer is. And as long as they choose to let Trump take them down this path, the more the party will die.

Trump and people like them, they no longer build up the Republican party. They continue to tear it down. And the more they do to kill the party, the more people will defect to either the Democrats or Independent. This is another one of those things that the Republicans can't blame anyone but themselves for.









To help keep Charles honest!! 31 states + DC require political party registration. Several of these are strongly democrat controlled such as OR, CA, NV, NY, PA, and DC. These are also high population density states and should be strongly democrat registered. I think it is a conclusion that Trump will not receive many popular votes or electoral college votes from these states in 2020, he probably didn't get many in 2016 either. Same outcome, new election!!!


Except one thing. The last election Trump "won" (and I use that term very loosely. It's more like he was "placed". But, anyway, it was by such a narrow margin. It will not be that way again. I don't believe people will stand for it. Clinton had him beat by 3 million votes. And whether the right likes it or not, that's what most of the nation thinks and feels. Most of the nation was outraged when they found out that their vote didn't count. And now that we know even more dirt on Trump, we've had to put up with his mouth, his lies and corruption these past years, people will be pissed off if their vote doesn't count again. We will see in the long run.

It's official: Clinton swamps Trump in popular vote


"More Americans voted for Hillary Clinton than any other losing presidential candidate in US history.

The Democrat outpaced President-elect Donald Trump by almost 2.9 million votes, with 65,844,954 (48.2%) to his 62,979,879 (46.1%), according to revised and certified final election results from all 50 states and the District of Columbia".

On to Trumps next lie.

"President Donald Trump appeared to sarcastically call out a break-in at Rep. Elijah Cummings' Baltimore home after a week of attacking the prominent African American lawmaker over the conditions of his Baltimore district -- even comparing the city's murder rate to third world countries."

"Really bad news! The Baltimore house of Elijah Cummings was robbed. Too bad!" the President tweeted on Friday morning.

http://www.cnn.com/2019/08/02/politics/trump-cummings-baltimore-home-burglary/index.html


That's a lie right out of Trump's mouth. The truth,

Elijah Cummings scares off would-be intruder at his home

"Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings thwarted an attempted break-in at his home in the middle of the night last weekend, he said Friday. The 68-year-old congressman, who was home at the time, said that he scared off the early-morning intruder by yelling".

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/elijah-cummings-burglary-baltimore-city-police-investigating-reports-of-break-in-at-maryland-democrats-home/


As I've said before, the right, they seem to like making up lies to spread across social media. This was posted on FB today. It has since been removed by FB. I'm not allowed to say here who posted it. But I can share what was said.

After Cumming went to Europe with Pelosi on Taxpayer money...? He is a public servant and yet his house was robbed for more than 10 Mil worth of Art paintings...! Demand investigation into Cumming...!

This whole statement is a made-up lie. This person posted this for nothing more than to rile up Trump's base. Which it did. For about an hour before FB deleted it. It proved again how easy it is to lead Trump followers around. They will believe a lie before they will believe the truth.
Sounds like Russia or China has been busy again!!



I can partly agree with you. It's possible. But here is what hurts that theory.

McConnell Dubbed 'Moscow Mitch' for Blocking Debate on Election Security Bill Just As Senate Report Details 2016 Russian Interference


"Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell earned the nickname "Moscow Mitch" Friday after blocking lawmakers from taking action to prevent foreign interference in U.S. elections just as the legislature he leads concluded that Russians meddled in the 2016 elections in all 50 states".

http://www.commondreams.org/news/2019/07/26/mcconnell-dubbed-moscow-mitch-blocking-debate-election-security-bill-just-senate

This was a dumb move by McConnel. The Mueller report fully stated that the Russians interfered in our election. Trump didn't know at the start. But when he found out he was more than glad to accept the help. He never offered to let the FBI or CIA or anyone in law enforcement know about it. That's bad enough. That's enough in its self to impeach Trump.

Now, we have Moscow Mitch blocking measures to keep it from happening again. This doesn't help the Republican parties image at all. Trump has brought the Republican party to a new low. Moscow Mitch only made it look worse. The way Trump acts as he would rather be a dictator than a president. With that in mind, it seems that Trump and McConnel are trying to swing the US government from a democracy to a communist dictatorship.


If Trump had a moral compass, he wouldn't have accepted the Russia help. If McConnel was doing his job he would be making sure it never happens again. But neither one seems to really give a damn. The American taxpayer is footing the bill.

Fox News Host Neil Cavuto Tells Viewers Trump Is Wrong: ‘China Isn’t Paying These Tariffs. You Are.’

"Immediately after President Donald Trump boasted to White House reporters that the United States rakes in billions of dollars from China because of his tariffs, Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto issued an on-air fact-check of the president’s remarks, directly telling his viewers that Trump is wrong.

While taking questions on the White House lawn Friday afternoon, the president insisted Americans farmers are fully behind his trade war and support his latest tariffs on $300 billion worth of goods from China.

“Remember this, our country is taking in billions and billions of dollars from China,” Trump exclaimed. “We never took in ten cents from China. Out of that many billions of dollars, we’re taking a part of it and giving it to the farmers because they’ve been targeted by China. The farmers, they come out totally whole".


http://www.yahoo.com/news/fox-news-host-neil-cavuto-211251762.html


Most of us already know this. What I use to buy for 8 bucks, now cost me 10. I buy lots of auto body parts from different vendors. What I was getting shipped to me for 25 bucks, now costs me 50. Some of the people I had lined up for paintwork ahead of time, has now backed out.

Because parts for the cars they want to be built, in many cases have doubled. For example, Before Trump came in, Let's say I do the car for 20 thousand. Now, that same car I can't do it for that. It may cost upward of 40 grand for the same work. Trump and his tariffs have hurt my business. I had business lined up all the way into next year.

A little over half of it has backed out. They decided to put their cars back into mothballs and wait to get their cars done. Hopefully after Trump is gone. Hopefully, somebody with some sense will be in the office that will put an immediate stop to all this so they won't have to pay a double price for what they want. Without Trump taking a huge bite out of their pockets to pay for his tariffs.

A little more reality. This article is from last month. It's still relevant now.

Gallup chief says most Americans are dissatisfied with the state of the nation

"Gallup editor-in-chief Mohamed Younis said on Hill.TV's "What America's Thinking" on Wednesday that the majority of the U.S. public are dissatisfied with the state of the nation.

"The way I would say the public is describing the state of the union right now is dissatisfied," Younis told Hill.TV's Krystal Ball the day after President Trump's annual State of the Union address.

"Twenty-six percent of people in this country right now say they're satisfied with how things are going in the U.S. generally," he continued, referring to a Gallup poll conducted last month.

The same survey found that 72 percent of respondents were dissatisfied with the state of the U.S".

Disgusted by Trump,’ Baltimore Jews Defend Longtime Ally Elijah Cummings

"WASHINGTON — On Thursday, two days before U.S. President Donald Trump viciously attacked veteran Democratic Congressman Elijah Cummings in a series of tweets, a group of teenagers from Cummings’ district landed back in the United States after a month-long visit to Israel. The teens’ trip was organized by the Elijah Cummings Youth Program, an educational organization that has been sending students from the Baltimore area on visits to Israel for the past two decades".

So, when you get right down to it, Republicans are already a minority. More Democrats than Republicans. And for some reason, the Republican party seems to think that the only way they can win, at least this time, is by pandering to racist and red neck thugs. They are desperate. The Republican party that once was no longer is. And as long as they choose to let Trump take them down this path, the more the party will die.

Trump and people like them, they no longer build up the Republican party. They continue to tear it down. And the more they do to kill the party, the more people will defect to either the Democrats or Independent. This is another one of those things that the Republicans can't blame anyone but themselves for.


Trump's tariffs are bad news for back-to-school shoppers

Can't prove it. But this sounds like something Trump would have his finger in one way or the other. Maybe paid someone to do this. Just so he could say, "I told you so". It's just too convenient. Kinda like how Trump was carrying on about the huge caravan that was headed to our border. But as soon as the midterms were over all that just went away.

Donald Trump 'richly deserves' to be impeached, says top Democrat on House committee

"Donald Trump "richly deserves" to be impeached, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee which can unilaterally launch proceedings to remove the president from office has said.

Rep. Jerrold Nadler has previously said that Mr Trump was guilty of committing "high crimes and misdemeanors" - the benchmark for impeachment - but these were his strongest comments yet".

Nadler: We’re Pursuing a De Facto Impeachment Inquiry

"House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) said on Friday that his committee was “in effect” conducting an impeachment inquiry, even as he shied away from using that exact phrase.

“The committee is exercising its authority to investigate all of these scandals and to decide what to do about them, which could include articles of impeachment,” said Nadler at a press conference. “Whether you call that an inquiry, or whatever you want to call that, that’s what we’ve been doing, and are doing, and will continue to do".

There Is Constant Battling’: Nadler and Pelosi Are on a Collision Course

"Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) finds himself at the most delicate point of his tenure atop the House Judiciary Committee.

With his star witness, Robert Mueller, having testified to less-than-stellar reviews, the longtime New York Democrat is pinched between a growing pro-impeachment chorus and a House Speaker hell-bent on pumping the brakes on such talk".

Majority of House Democrats Now Back Trump Impeachment Inquiry

"The majority of the House Democratic caucus now supports an impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump, with Rep. Ted Deutch (D-FL) becoming the 118th Democrat in the chamber to support moving to such proceedings.

“ Trump] seems to think that Mueller’s performance wasn’t enough to trigger an impeachment inquiry,” the congressman wrote in an op-ed in the South Florida Sun Sentinel. Sorry, Mr. President, the question is no longer whether the House should vote to proceed with a formal impeachment inquiry. The inquiry has already begun".

No more debate. Impeachment inquiry is underway | Ted Deutch

"Although Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s testimony may not have been a summer blockbuster, it confirmed the damning conclusions of his report. The investigation revealed substantial evidence that President Trump obstructed justice. And that the Special Counsel did not exonerate him.

Trump Addresses the Possibility of ‘Send Her Back’ Chants Ahead of Rally

"Hours before his Thursday night campaign rally in Ohio, President Trump addressed the possibility of the crowd taking part in another racist chant directed at Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN). The president was non-committal about whether he’d try to stop it.

During a rally earlier this month, the president basked in chants of “Send Her Back!” after he railed against Omar. The chants came on the heels of the president’s repeated bigoted attacks on Omar and other progressive congresswomen of color—including calling on them to “go back” to where “they came” from".

http://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-addresses-possibility-of-send-her-back-chants-ahead-of-rally

“I don’t know that you can stop people,” he declared. “I don’t know that you can. We will see what we can do. I would prefer they don’t but if they do it, but if they do it, we’ll have to make a decision then. Kudos & great knowing we have such a great planner as President - foreign policy is similar - "let's just see what happens"


If he was just half the president and just a third of the man Obama is, he wouldn't stand for it. He would be letting people know now not to do that. He would publically condemn it. But he isn't, so he won't. He enjoys his racism and feeds off the racism of others. They feed off of each other. It's like a sickness that Trump doesn't want to go away.
