HE FUCKING SAID IT. "We must condemn WHITE SUPREMACY."

Miller CLEARLY did not write this.

He's also talking about the Internet spreading hate, but isn't mentioning how his own tweets accomplish that.

OH FFS. Stephanie Ruhle just said "there's a possibility" of a Trump photo op in El Paso

Because I think what that town needs more than anything is granite-carved Melania in shades and stilettoes.

Be best, y'all.

So...I guess all eyes are on 10:00 AM tomorrow, when Trump will address this past weekend

Let me look into the crystal ball.

He's already said that "many people" are looking into it, after he spoke with them. Bill Barr was one of them.

He's already said that the incidents were the result of "mental illness."

He's got a shitload of Republican House and Senate members lined up at the NRA teat.

He's basically painted into a corner, he's already revealed what we can expect.

Schumer calls out McConnell.

Chuck Schumer
@SenSchumer

To @SenateMajLdr McConnell, we say: #EnoughIsEnough

Stop blocking gun safety reforms over 90% of Americans support

Gavel the Senate into emergency session to take immediate action on the bipartisan, House-passed universal background checks legislation

A well-intentioned Harris tweet, but this isn't about "we."

It's about Trump ending the MAGAt rallies and tweets...which we already know will not happen...and McConnell actually taking votes in the Senate on House-approved legislation, which is not likely to happen either.

"We" aren't the problem. The problem is Trump, McConnell, and every complicit Republican.

According to authorities, 9 people were killed and 26 were injured in the Dayton shooting. It lasted less than a minute.

Less than a minute.

We cannot remain idle and allow this level of carnage to ravage our communities. We need courage. We need to act.

Soccer player Alejandro Bedoya grabs mic during game to demand Congress act on gun violence



https://www.rawstory.com/2019/08/american-soccer-player-grabs-microphone-during-the-game-game-to-demand-congress-act-on-gun-violence/

Pro-soccer player Alejandro Bedoya had just scored a goal when he saw a microphone and grabbed it.

“Congress, do something now. End gun violence,” he said into the microphone to great applause.

The moment came nearly eight hours after Bedoya had been tweeting about the week of mass shootings and various loopholes that allows those who want to kill people to achieve their goals.

“I’m not a policymaker either,” he tweeted, retweeting former player Jordan Osborne. “I’m shouting at those hypocrites to get their sh*t together. You want some plans. We can start with stricter background checks, red flag laws, making a registry for gun purchases, closing gun show loopholes, and taxing ammunition. Better for you?”

Video, MAGAt rally, May 8, 2019: Trump muses about shooting undocumented immigrants

Steve Silberman
@stevesilberman

Trump jokes about Border Patrol agents shooting immigrants - "That's only in the Panhandle you can get away with that stuff!" - and his audience roars. But no, don't implicate Trump's racist rhetoric in mass shootings. It's video games and "mental illness" or something.''

Chloe "Daisy from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." Bennet has a few words for Leader McConnell.

Chloe Bennet
@chloebennet

You sir, are a slimy rat face bitch ass liar. You tweeting this condescending rhetoric about you “caring” is spitting in the faces of those who were killed.

Leader McConnell
@senatemajldr

Sickening to learn this morning of another mass murder in Dayton, Ohio overnight. Two horrifying acts of violence in less than 24 hours. We stand with law enforcement as they continue working to keep Americans safe and bring justice.
