Yeah, Just Like on Teevee
Donald Trump has been watching too much Wyatt Earp. He seems to be convinced that a person at a dance club where alcohol is consumed could whip out a handgun and shoot someone who is firing a military grade weapon right between the eyes.
Seriously. Speaking about the slaughter in Orlando …
“If we had people with the bullets going in the opposite direction — right smack between the eyes of this maniac,” Trump said, pointing in a gun gesture to his forehead. “If some of those wonderful people had guns strapped right here, right to their waist or right to their ankle, and this son of a bitch comes out and starts shooting, and one of the people in that room happened to have it and goes boom, boom, you know what? That would have been a beautiful, beautiful sight, folks, that would have been a beautiful, beautiful sight.”
Has he ever shot a gun? You know, at a target? The average cop can’t do that, much less someone consuming alcohol on a dark dance floor.
Goes Boom Boom? No, he has never shot a weapon. No boom boom.
Does he know what caliber of weapon fits on an ankle? Obviously not.
And he does read the newspaper and knows that an off-duty police officer working at the club immediately exchanged fire with the killer, right?
Thank for your assessment of the situation, Marshall Matt Dillon.
Hey, I have an idea, let’s get Bruce Lee to kick box him or somebody to do kung fu.
Holy cow.
Donnie Drumpf gets his free weapons training from the same place he receives his free foreign policy advice – TV. Some day he make visit a video arcade for advanced training.
Albeit, it would be fun to send Donnie and his surrogates to the woods equipped with paint ball guns.
1Yeah, right. The Donald knows all about guns and has yuge peepee.
Who turned on Fantasy Island?
2Yeah, a bunch of armed, people drinking in a dark, noisy nightclub. What could possibly go wrong?
3OMG. His stupid never stops.
If he was there he probably would have soiled himself while pushing his bodyguards in front of him to take the bullets.
4The off duty cop was hired security and after he and Mateen exchanged shots two more cops showed up and all three trained professionals could not bring this guy down. And to top it all off, handguns,according to Orlando law, might be legal in some clubs that do not serve liquor as their primary function, however concealed carriers are not allowed to be where alcohol is being served-i.e. in the bar. The law is not real clear on this.
5We have researched this issue including contacting the concealed weapons division of the Florida Department of Agriculture and have received this response. While this letter and its opinion are not authoritative, the general sense is that concealed weapons may be legally carried by a CWFL holder into a business that serves alcohol but not as a primary business, however a concealed weapons carrier should stay out of portions of that business where the service of alcohol is the primary function, i.e., the bar area of a restaurant.)
6Well he went to a military academy for rich creeps, so yeah he’s an expert. The man is a clown.
7epo, I’m not even going to ask why Florida state gun policy is under the jurisdiction of the state Department of Agriculture….
8As I read somewhere:
It took 11 good guys with guns, body armor, and military assault vehicles to shoot the bad guy with a gun.
Not what the average person brings to the dance floor.
9What an interesting fantasy world Trump lives in–one where he can always be the hero. Is there anything real in there at all?
10Dumber than a sack of his own hair!
11But all the gun loving dweeby John Wayne wannabes who actually believe this guy ate it up and will start walking around armed and good-guy everywhere, including ladies bathrooms at the mall.
12Just wait — next week there will be a nationwide run on ankle holsters at gunshops everywhere.
Then, two weeks later, hospital emergency rooms nationwide will be swamped by people with feet shot off at the ankle!!!

14montage, excellent depiction. Imagine if there had been 3 or 4 shooters and the ensuing chaos. Yes sir; just what we need, 18 or more ‘good’ guys throwing some weapons into the mix.
Bill Maher did a good piece on the past ‘insanity’ that disqualified politicians, and how it is that Donnie Drumpf receives a pass on his crazy uttering.

15Drumpf#$k said in a speech today,I believe, that he is better for LGBTQ people because his immigration policy will prevent radical Muslims from coming over here and killing them. Like radical Muslims are the only people who murder LGBTQ persons. The guy is effing clueless!
He also thinks wingnuts should help his campaign all the while he is tearing them down.
16Ted Cruz was grousing about how this guy was investigated by the FBI several times and still they did nothing to stop him. What Cruz didn’t say was this guy was STILL able to buy weapons because wingnuts and the NRA blocked legislation preventing known and suspected terrorists from legally buying guns.
Since the FBI did nothing and Obama is Potus,by inference the shooting was because of Obama.
17Where’s Ben Carson when you need him?

18So Carson’s a comedian now. Thanks for the laughs, LynnN.
I sat there alone upon the ferris wheel
A pastel colored carriage in the air
I thought you’d leave me dangling for a little while
A silly twist upon a childish dare
Below I saw you whispering to another man
Who held the lever that could bring me down
He’d stop the world from turning at your command
It’s always something cruel that laughter drowns
And I’m up while the dawn is breaking
Even though my heart is aching
I should be drinking a toast
To absent friends
Instead of these comedians
I can hardly hear the music from the carousel
The wind picks up, the carriage starts sway
As one by one the lights go out
It’s closing time
I see you take his hand and walk away
Walk away
Kudos to writer Elvis Costello and to the late,great Roy Orbison who brought this song to life.
19Drumpf’s unfavorable rating is 70% which seems quite low considering he has to tie a thousand dollar bill around his neck to get his kid Baron to play with him.
20Here’s my question – does Drumpf carry a weapons with him at all times? Does his staff? Why does he need Secret Service protection while he and his staff (the good guys) could obviously protect themselves at a moments notice, in a crowd, in the light, where everyone is supposed to be sober?
21sharon, I don’t believe that The Donald is even allowed to carry pointed scissors.
These, maybe (though not while he’s running):https://www.amazon.com/Crayola-First-Safety-Scissors-81-1323/dp/B00756JZQ2
22http://uspolitics.about.com/od/CampaignsElections/a/Secret-Service-Protection-For-Presidential-Candidates.htm
The Potus,vice Potus and their families get mandatory protection.
The wingnut convention has been declared gun free except for authorized security. As for allowing candidates to carry while escorted by SS, I don’t think it is allowed.
23Running only against himself, will Donnie Drumpf make it to the convention? Of the gaggle that rolled in the Klown Kar a year ago, Donnie has met the enemy, himself.
Some might ask why the snacilbupeR didn’t consider Donnie a serious candidate. The rest of us wonder why the snacilbupeR thought any of them were serious candidates. Think back one year to Snotty Wanker, Arr-ubio, Piyush, Mental Ben, Snarly Failurina, Outlaw Jersey Whale, Ksuchasheis, Loathsome Cruz, Jim Who? Gilmore, Ricky Redux Santorum, Grand Paul, Huckajeebus, Pataki for a Nanosecond, the Belle of SC and Jeb(?). Oops, forgot pRick Perry.
Happy Fathers Day everyone and enjoy not being among the snacilbupeR!

24The “Pretentious Nominee” is absolutely laughable and the conspiracy voices are coming out again, but the rest of the RKlan do spew most of the same nincompoopery. Their attempts to distance themselves from it are futile. Hope the whole contemptible mess comes tumbling down on them.
25Here’s an idea. Take all the pro-guns-in-everywhere types to a nice nightclub. They’re gonna get free booze & food, right? Once they’re in, the staff escapes out the back, and all the exits are blocked. The next morning, open a door and see who crawls out. And if he still thinks everybody should be armed all the time everywhere.
I nominate Trump to be sent to this playground first.
26Elizabeth Moon, good plan. I volunteer to ensure that all staff safely exit the premises. Forgive me if I take the liberty to toss in a small firecracker, as I exit. 😀

27Holy Toledo I agree with the head of the NRA! Guns do not belong in night clubs. My head is spinning…
http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/19/politics/donald-trump-chris-cox-nra-orlando-shooting/index.html
28Elizabeth Moon- just as well toss in a whole string of firecrackers, just to get the festivities started properly. Imagine how much booze won’t get drunk if they kill each other before the drinking begins. Be sure to dim the lights and the ammosexuals can provide their own laser light show as well.
29Yet another assertion that a random response team would do anything but make things worse.
30Surprise-Wayne La Pee Pee is telling Americans to buy guns because we are about to get swamped by terrorists. Nothing like a little fear mongering around Father’s Day or any other day for wingnuts.

31No virtue in being shame free. I’m talking to you Scumpf, La PeePee, party leader Rancid Penis, and the rest of the usual RKlan suspects. (Momma, “penis” is not a dirty word when it means a part of the male body. In the context I used it? Questionable.)
32Heads up,class. Tomorrow night is the summer solstice full moon and Drumpf’s head will explode like a pinata. Even without Drumpf dramatics I hope you will be where you can see Mother Nature’s majesty for free. Terrific looking near full moon tonight. Beauty for the taking and Drumpf can’t bed this beauty.
33“That would have been a beautiful, beautiful sight, folks, that would have been a beautiful, beautiful sight.”
Anyone who says this about another human being’s dead body is a sick mf, I don’t care how awful the dead human being is.
34Drumpf’s graduation photo from that military school his dad sent him to showed his metals on his uniform: he got one for “Neatness”.
Donnie–‘YOU’RE FIRED”!
(Could he be suffering from “Daddy Issues”??)
35Today Trump tried to “clarify” what he said by stating he REALLY meant that there should have been employees or other security people who were armed, not club goers. Yah. Right.
36What irks me is no journalist (what’s that?) or a police spokesperson or official says having everyone armed inside a theater or bar or anywhere would be far worse – in darkness, crowded area and most everyone is unknown to you. Now add in guns and everyone dies.
Also I wish more people would mention (again are there any journalists left?) the Trumplets (aka his oldest sons) who are big game hunters. They advise him and are NRA members. More rich jerks spending big bucks shooting animals who don’t shoot back and are minding their own business in their own habitat. They shot an elephant or rhino just before the Minnesota dentist got exposed at the Cecil killer and the dentist took over the news cycle.
37EPO … I have a fantastic view of the full moon from my 6th floor living room window!! It was shining bright last night, too!!
38Will that moron ever SHUT UP?! I’m so tired of his stupid lies. And just where does he think ( oops wrong word) that this fantasyland of his exists? His stupidity of real life is unbelievable!
39Ahhh, yes Wayne LaPeePee. There may be more despicable creatures on the planet, but they’re war lords, serial killers, or politicians. And L’il Wayne enables them all.
