BERNIE WOULD HAVE GUN

oh well this changes everything

I haven't followed the pattern of people who have instigated attacks like this, but I feel like a 66 year old might be a bit of an outlier?

oh cool this is definitely not going to be handled in the most insufferable ways possible

ugh

it's okay like every shooting this will be forgotten in about 5 days

yeah i'm sure trump will remain level-headed about the whole deal

no, this one is the bad one, the rest are okay xp

Look forward to Scalise supporting gun control/repeal of the 2nd Amendment oh wai

could be a positive move if Dems are reaching out to appeal to the gun lobby

(and that's why I don't really feel too sorry for him)

xp

The Giffords shooting was bad, but she was a democrat so maybe for non-democrats it was... less bad?

I think anyone shooting at other humans is bad, personally, but I'm one of those fewer guns people

well, shooter is seemingly a bernie bro.

sorry, i'm not seeing anything that reflects this at the WaPo link

his alleged facebook page is pretty bernie-heavy

but yeah not confirmed as yet

yeah, where is this coming from?

otm

it's gotta be him- illinois link, seems to be about the same age, references wanting to 'destroy' trump and co

I think anyone shooting at other humans is bad

me too, which is why I'm cool about this

this will probably be the worst day on twitter yet

house of cards season seven leaks

either way, the last post on this fb page is being swamped by maga chuds right now

wow I mistyped that, I meant "shooting at other humans, regardless of who they are, is bad"

there are very few bad people, afaik. just really mediocre ones

enh i think you were right first time, noodle otm

Scalise is the local rep. The chance of recruiting a Dem opponent for 2018 just fell markedly. Crestfallen.

happy 71st birthday, donnie two-scoops

yeah a good day to get off the interwebs

Charles Orear, 50, a restaurant manager from St. Louis, said in an interview Wednesday that he became friendly with James T. Hodgkinson, whom law enforcement officials identified as the shooter, during their work in Iowa on Sen. Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaign. Orear said Hodgkinson was a passionate progressive and showed no signs of violence or malice toward others.

“You’ve got to be kidding me,” Orear said when told by phone. “I met him on the Bernie trail in Iowa, worked with him in the Quad Cities area.”

Orear described Hodgkinson as a “quiet guy” who was “very mellow, very reserved” when they stayed overnight at a Sanders’s supporter home in Rock Island, Ill., after canvassing for the senator.

“He was this union tradesman, pretty stocky, and we stayed up talking politics,” he said. “He was more on the really progressive side of things.”

The Post reached out to Orear after seeing that he liked one of Hodkinson’s Facebook posts.

JOURNALISM

well that'll knock attorney general perjury right off the headlines too now won't it

how many media outlets were calling it perjury?

what are the chances of us getting out of this story without some dipshit rightwinger writing a hot take mocking this guy's firearm skills and asserting that if they were going on a politically-motivated shooting which involved 50 to 100 shots fired there'd be a) deaths and b) more people would have felt the sting of hot lead

weird development

I feel generally uncomfortable being jocular about this shooting. considering I remember how upset I was at Giffords.

does'nt mean dude isn't probably a humongo turd but not really cool w/ gun violence in general.

not a winning approach

Scalise is the local rep. The chance of recruiting a Dem opponent for 2018 just fell markedly. Crestfallen.

this is not good

he's not dead, he's got an a+ rank from the nra, nothing about this will likely change is view on gun ownership or gun violence, so he's fair game imo

fair game for what?

it's tragic that we have shootings every fucking day. it doesn't matter what kinds of people the victims are.

if only there was some way elected representatives could yackle the problem of shootings every fucking day

er, tackle

I like "yackle"

yak yak yak

it has a certain pleasing onomatopoeic quality, yes

fair game for ousting from office! people will seriously elect this dude forever because he got shot if he keeps running out of some misguided sense of duty

nothing good will come of this

Trump has told associates that news coverage of the House health care bill was “terrible,” in the words of one associate who has spoken with him.

Trump threw a party in the Rose Garden celebrating the passage of the House bill and has publicly called it “terrific.”

But aides and associates said he has not liked the news coverage and has shown little interest in what is in the bill — but wants it to be received well.

the depth and breadth of his ignorance never ceases to surprise
