    Wouldn't want to miss any of the pungent emissions spewing from the orifices of Donald Fucking Trump.

    Yeah, Trump ratings trump all other topics.

    Including something newsworthy. Alas, on to the next mass shooting.

    Maybe mass shootings just aren't newsworthy anymore.

    Funny (or not) that we criticize the media for inspiring copycats but then lament that they aren't covering it. I don't disagree but we can't have it both ways.

    It seems to run in cycles. Probably should have used the blue font in my earlier post.

    Oh, CNN would have been on it had it not been for the debate.

    The shooter executed poor timing.

    If that's why, then bravo.

    My brother works as an engineer for a combine company. This latest shooting in Kansas took place at the lawn mower company just down the street. He knew a couple of the guys who work there, all of whom had JUST left work for the day when shit went down. (As had my brother, which is scary because the shooter was stopping and shooting up vehicles on the highway.)

    Anyway, he asked one of those guys if the shooter was crazy. "I work with him every day and no ... but apparently?"

    Pretty scary.

    See? You're not crazy if you drive around shooting people.

    ? You're not crazy UNTIL you drive around and shoot people.

    He was probably a responsible, law-abiding gun owner.

    UNTIL ... he wasn't.
