“Donald Trump’s commerce secretary (Wilbur Ross) is shown to have a stake in a firm dealing with Russians sanctioned by the US.”
This could be interesting.

Speaking of real human beans and real heroes, looks like the guy who shot up the church was himself shot up by an armed civilian.

If the shooter was in fact stopped by an armed citizen what you are saying is 26 dead people is a successful version of your plan.

Looks the murderer had proven himself to be a giant pile of shit unworthy of life for years before getting his hands on a gun and murdering 26 innocent people.

I doubt that is what he meant. I am pretty sure what he meant was that if not for the armed citizen, there could have been more people murdered.

So, everyone has guns, a shooting event is stopped successfully, only 26 dead!
or, ban some of the damn guns, and maybe have less than 26 dead because they only had a pistol or hunting rifle?

I didn’t call it successful. I didn’t 26 dead is acceptable or small. I only meant that if the armed citizen hadn’t stopped him, there could have been more.

As I have made clear in the past, I am not against more gun control.
Sigh…here’s some disturbing stories about Jesse Jackson and John Singleton.

This shit is everywhere, and it doesn’t stop with Trump, Weinstein, O’Reilly, Ailes, Weiner, Thomas, etc. Looking forward to the day I read a story like that and it seems surprising.
Why do fellow members of my gender have to act like such idiots. KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF!!
Virginia prediction: Northam will beat Gillespie, but the Republicans will easily maintain a hold on the House of Delegates, probably losing only a few seats. Trump’s overt white supremacist campaign only got 44.4% there last year, and although Republicans should get a bump due to it being an off-year election, that only bumped their candidate for Governor to 45.2% in 2013. The somewhat academic question will be if Gillespie’s overt white supremacist campaign puts him over or under 45.2%. If over, that means racism still has a strong enough appeal to the Virginia electorate that people will keep trying the Trump/Gillespie formula there (maybe supplementing by adding secondary issues other than appeals to racism). If under, that means white supremacy may play well in other states, but it’s a losing issue in Virginia statewide elections. If under by enough, it may even be an indicator of the “Trump effect” – a national drag on statewide/local Republican performance – certainly for people like Gillespie or LePage who are branding themselves as mini-Trumps.

I don’t care how much you give me, I may get corrupted because I am human, but I will never stick my hands on a woman where they don’t belong.

Impunity is a sign of power. People do all kinds of shitty things when there are no consequences.

I guess I should add the alternate scenario: if Gillespie wins, politicians around the nation will see it as a clear sign that running a “no issues/all racism” campaign will not only win in Republican-safe areas, but can be the critical formula to put them over the top in competitive or Democratic-leaning races. Or, worse, it will show it doesn’t matter what sort of campaign you run, you will win as long as you have the backing of Russian bots.
I found this part particularly striking.
Wow, that is pretty damning.
I wonder why Alaska’s gun death rate is so high.

Suicide. For real. Which is a huge chunk (over 60%) of all these guns deaths, but Alaska has either the first- or second-highest rate in the country, depending on the year (they trade places with Wyoming). Native Alaskans have one of the highest suicide rates on the planet.
Also, state gun regulations all have the “neighbor state” problem. If you’re near a state with lax gun laws, do the strict gun laws have as much of an effect in your state? Hawaii is a bit of an example of what happens when you have strict* gun laws and no neighbor state problem.
* “Strict” on a US scale, which goes from “very lax” at one end to “completely irresponsible regulatory void” at the other.

Sounds like we should ban suicide.

Ridiculous argument.
