Re: At least 12 people dead in California bar shooting
Our weekly mass shooting.
Honestly, for the past several years, its felt to me at times like the US was already in a state of civil war- just a war with no declaration or organized sides, only an endless parade of whack jobs (albeit some of whom are politically motivated) with easy access to guns.
If there is a side, it could be said to be the NRA and those politicians who are in its pocket, against the rest of the country.
Thus far, the NRA is winning.

"I know its easy to be defeatist here because nothing has seemingly reigned Trump in so far. But I will say this: every asshole succeeds until finally, they don't. Again, 18 months before he resigned, Nixon had a sky-high approval rating of 67%. Harvey Weinstein was winning Oscars until one day, he definitely wasn't."-John Oliver

Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job.
