1. How Did Nocholas Cruz Know What School To Target Where All The Crisis Actors Were Attending

Huh?

Girl looked like a moose in the headlights.

2. I'm Still Laughing

4. THAT ... was f***ing awesome ...

To not be able to immediately grasp the obvious comeback of 'no, they were hired AFTER!' makes it very obvious just how LITTLE this woman has actually thought about the bullshit she's spewing ...

[MLAA]

3. Priceless

Plus loved they were told not to bring due to safety issues!

5. "I should be equally armed with whatever the government has".

Show me anywhere in the Constitution where it says citizens are to be on an equal footing with the United States Armed Forces?

The Second Amendment reads. ""A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed".

There is not one fucking word about a citizen's right to possess the same ordnance as the government. These gun-nut assclowns warp the second amendment to fit whatever ridiculous argument they're having at the moment. This moron wants "a tank" to be on an equal footing with the government.

Good, give the dullard a tank, then the Air Force can blow the fucking thing to smithereens with Hellfire missiles. Happy Now?

9. The odd part is that, at the time, the militias WERE the Armed Forces

Okay there was the Navy (Article I Section 8) but there was no Army. They needed some sort of ground force but they never established an Army in the Constitution. It had to be funded every two years - this was a control to prevent a standing (which were held in very low regard at the time) from gaining too much power.

The THIRD Amendment provides all the context we need to understand the founders' perspective on controlling military force.

In order they established
1- Rights to free speech, press, and separation of church and state
2&3- control the military while making provisions for some sort of military (controlled by the States bit able to be accessed for national defense if needed)
4&5- Rights of the citizens in legal proceedings etc.

These were direct rebukes of the abuses suffered under the crown and, it could be said, a restatement of grievances (or prevention of abuses happ ning again) from the Declaration of Independence.

10. Of course the failure of the militias were the reason the US Army was brought back.

Especially when Native Americans were kicking the militias ass in Ohio back in the 1790's.

11. That's true

Michael Waldman's book inbtge Second Amendment is a great read.

[The Wielding Truth]

6. WOW. k&r Hit with logic the the gun lovers are stunned.

[Hulk]

7. They have come out of the closets....

...and now the whole world can see just how fook'd up we are as a nation. We have MILLIONS of morons....too damned ignorant to put a 5 piece puzzle together in under 24 hrs. Morons....nation of fook'n morons.

[Canoe52]

8. You know, these people say they don't like it when liberals call them dumb asses, but I'm sorry...

these people are totally dumb asses!

[tomhagen]

12. So tell me again how we are losing to these Emmy Award winning Intellects?

[They_Live]

13. Wow

that was great. Especially the part when he made them actually think about what they're saying.

[Rhiannon12866]

14. I sure agree, I think he did a terrific job on this

I saw this when it was on the show and I thought it was one of their most powerful segments. Some get silly, but this one was just so well done. I think that Roy Wood Jr. is my favorite of the correspondents, always hits it just right.

15. Excellent!

Roy Wood Jr. brought them to the edge of their cognitive dissonance and let them hang themselves. "Guns make you safe" and "NO guns at the rally"

[gyroscope]

16. I can't watch Trevor Noah

his voice and face puts me to sleep. the guy totally looks and sounds like an evening news anchor doing serious news, not a comedian.

I will never understand why Stewart chose this guy to succeed him. absolutely nothing about him screams funny or comedian.

[Rhiannon12866]

17. I like Trevor - I can't help being impressed that he's up to speed on U.S. politics

But the behind-the-desk gig doesn't really show what he can do best. I just happened to run across one of his stand up specials late one night and he really is quite talented, is great at voices and impressions! It's really too bad that he doesn't get much of a chance to show that - but like Jimmy Fallon, who I think is wasted just sitting behind a desk when he's great at impressions, particularly musical ones, I'd like to see more of that from Trevor.
