    I thank the universe every day that I wasn’t born in the US. Something something school shootings, and that is only the start

      Yeah, especially gun violence is pretty neckligible in Europe compared to the US.

      Eh, it’s a really over-hyped issue, honestly.

      In the US, you’re about 5x as likely to be killed by a cop than by a mass shooter. But nobody memes all day about that for some reason…

        Over-hyped issue? Would you be comfortable saying that in presence of parents that lost their kids? Gun violence is the LEADING cause of children deaths in the US. That in itself is a fact that should make you think long and hard about your country.

      Right? Who hasn’t lost a kid in a school shooting anyway, should we just close all the schools because of that? Meanwhile in Europe thousands of people dies of old age everyday. I’m not taking a chance on this.

        You jest, but this is a perfect metaphor for the state of conservative news.

        Really all news, but conservatives are far more guilty of it…half-truths and lies-through-omissions.

    Man, talking about being a psychopath

    At this point I suppose that her children could be murdered and she’d still use that to get ahead.

    Fucking disgusting

    No, you don’t understand that was Obama and Biden’s fault.

    Tap for spoiler

    /s

    Trump and Kirk supported an environment of violence, they just never pictured themselves in the cross hairs.

    Trump isn’t protecting Americas but he sure is fuck has tightened up his security. He wants us to shoot each other and have fascist supporters blast dark skin people and liberals, not him.

    stmu, by posting this you are part of the problem. Why are we platforming and listening to a person whose only qualification is “my husband was an asshole”? Just stop listening to her, she is irrelevant.

    Political commentators get ironically assassinated in front of a crowds in broad daylight in the EU all the time. Just because it happened in the US once or twice this year doesn’t mean anything.

      Sigh… Yet another way in which Europe is superior.
