Donald dunce

Speaking in Texas on Saturday, Donald Trump took a shot at gun control and declared that if the victims in the Paris attacks had been armed it would have been "...a much, much different situation."

Yes it would have been--not only would there have been innocent people shot to death by cretinous terrorists, there also would have been innocent people shot to death by inexperienced and panicked goobers firing their guns in utter chaos.

Calling bullshit

On CNN today, Lindsay Graham, in light of the attacks in Paris, predicted there will be another 9/11 in America but promised that if he were elected President, he would not let it happen.

Horseshit.

While I don't discount the possibility of another terrorism attack on American soil, and ignoring the fact that Graham has as much chance as I do of being our next President and I'm not wasting Americans' time on a one trick pony campaign, unless Graham has Heroes type powers heretofore undisclosed to the rest of us, the Paris attacks clearly show that no one, neither Democrat nor republican, can guarantee there will not be another attack on Americans.

You can take all the precautions you want, flex America's muscle all you want, but as Pope Francis said today this is a "piecemeal third world war" and no amount of planning or might can stop the nonsensical.

I can't hear you!

For all their bluster (and that's what it is--republicans are little more than fucking fraidy cats who want anybody but themselves to do the dirty and dangerous work) about Friday's attacks in Paris, here are four things they won't tell the American people:

• Republicans will demonize the Syrian refugees and call for walls! border security! but the murderous cretins who carried out these attacks are exactly what the refugees are trying to escape.
• You can forget those crockofshit tears republicans are shedding for the French--the right absolutely despises France and its people.
• There will be more Americans killed in the next five days by guns than were killed in the Paris attacks--and unlike Paris, the American deaths will continue ad infinitum.
• Most importantly, this whole mess is republicans fault.  From the Bush administration's having its head up its ass on 9/11, to their piss poor operation of the war in Afghanistan, to the ill-advised and ill-conceived Iraq War, to their disastrous torture program,  republicans have done more to create utter chaos and stoke hatred than President Obama could in ten lifetimes.

And this has been your daily dose of reality.
