The government allows no time to mourn before it begins its attack on innocent Americans.

The terrorist attacks, the government attacks.

That’s how it works.

If I didn’t know any better, I’d think the two were working in tandem with each other...

We would be much less safe under this clown’s rule.

Out of all the reports and stories I have heard and read about this muslim attack, only Trump had the balls to tell it like it is.

Why did you put a hashtag in front of the words “NEVERGARYJOHNSON”?

Just curious.

“Gary Johnson: Orlando mass shooting is no reason to ‘politicize or jump to conclusions’”

Proving yet AGAIN that Gary Johnson is a fricking idiot, which actually is a GOOD thing: the more exposure the enemedia gives this fool, the fewer votes he’s likely to garner.

Probably a good thing if the Libertarian third party alternative starts to seem like a kinder, gentler version of Hillary Clinton. Guess whose vote would go down in that outcome?
