> [@Anny\_Middon](#): > > I wonder how shocked he was to find out that no one wanted to spend more than $10k for a portrait of him, even at a charity auction. I mean, I’ve been to events where they’ve had silent auctions for charity. They usually give a somewhat inflated value of the item up for bid and then get even more than that because, you know, it’s for charity. There are plenty of Democrats that actually do own guns and enjoy target shooting. But the thing is, we are better with money. ---

I today’s Pittsburgh shooting, President Chump says the outcome would be different if the synagogue had only had an armed guard. Admittedly, that would create a heckuva lot of jobs, hiring an armed guard for every single building in America. :rolleyes: ---

And all the parking lots, and all the streets, and all their open spaces . . . . Tragically, a great many Americans have faith in their guns, and just like their faith in their god, they will not question their faith, because for them faith trumps facts and reason. For them their faith is sacred. ---

The guy didn’t vote for Trump, but he believed Republican party propaganda. The Republican party is to blame for this. Maybe, had Republicans not lied about caravans of asylum seekers being funded by der Juden, he’d have done something else. Or maybe not. But the Republican party did lie, this nazi acted on those lies, and now people who aren’t nazis (a safe assumption) are dead. The Republican party is to blame for this. ---

> [@DesertDog](#): > > I am not sure I would be keen on entering my place of worship if I knew there was someone just inside the door on a hair trigger. Not only would this cut down on attendance at religious services, but the services themselves might end if congregations had to pay for armed guards. That’s not an inexpensive proposition. And many houses of worship are hanging on financially by just a thread, as it is. ---

So typical of Trump in that the only thing he can think of to blurt out following the massacre of nearly a dozen, mostly elderly, Jews is “bring back the death penalty!” Yeah, like the supposed lack of one would have ever prevented that asshole in Pisttburgh from doing his filthy business.

There were lots of Despair-style memes about 15 years ago when those were really popular about D&D. Anyway, one had a picture of George W Bush with the caption “INT: Not everyone uses Charisma as a dump stat.” I can’t even figure out how to make fun of Trump in such a pithy way. He’s like the character you had to roll for stats on and your highest roll was a 8. ---
