Why the hell are people wanting to blame Trump for the shooting going on in the country?

@MistyCee That's a cop out.

@Sicarium I don't think so, really. Trump is no excuse for bad parenting to be sure, but explaining things has gotten a lot harder, thanks to where we are, what's on the news, and what's happening.

Did Trump cause a shooting? No, and he's really, IMO, more of a symptom than a cause of things, but his behavior, and the toleration of it is aggravating the problems.

How do you teach kids to accept responsibility and adhere to ethical and moral conduct when the President doesn't even act like an adult, much less even pretend to?

@MistyCee Even if I take the assumption that Trump is some super-morally reprehensible person as true, which I don't (it's just the usual, meaningless moralizing and selective outrage from the left), the right said the same thing during the Clinton administration. It was no more a valid excuse then than it is now.

And when leftists claim Trump can't act like an adult, they really just mean that he won't roll over and quietly accept the same attacks they've been levelling at people for 40 years. I have no problem with that.

Mass shootings have been going on for a while. Blaming Trump in any way is a cop out, an excuse, a distraction, and a continuing assurance that nothing will be fixed.

Yeah wasn’t it Trump who said he could go and shoot up Times Square and get away with it?🙄@MistyCee

@Bean17 I think it was, but I'm not going there. I don't honestly think Trump gives a f-ck about the 2nd amendment, and he may not be dealing with the gun issue well, but there's actually a better chance he will with this then just about anything else.

It was just an example of the example he is setting. If the president of our country says such things, how could parents possibly be expected to convince their kids that’s not ethical and moral conduct?.@MistyCee

@Sicarium I didn't blame Trump for the shooting. Honestly, I personally think that Obama did more to inflame this situation by opening his big mouth and talking about scared people clinging to their guns.

I think he was right, mind you, but the POTUS shouldn't make social problems worse. That's what Obama did, and that's Trump's MO.

Can I piss off someone and get a headline?

Will it deflect from my last fuck up?

@Bean17 and a pretty good example at that. I just wish there weren't so many.
