    Hmm, there seems to be some tension between "hiring the best people" and "former lawyer, now a felon".

    What ****? And this lawyer was trying to save his butt. Why is everything with you guys racist? To me that’s Obama’s legacy, racism.

    And your hatred for Trump? That’s racist, you hate white presidents. This notion is right out of your playbook. Get used to it.

    He's a socialist/eco-facist/leftist.

    There are no doubt other leftists who share similar views.

    That guy was an evil troll to the extreme.

    It takes a special kind of coward to murder people in their place of worship.

    I wonder how many people will fall for his crap?

    49 gays were murdered by a Muslim in Florida. Obama went to great lengths to defend Muslims, to protect them, to persecute anyone who criticized them. I’m guessing the Florida massacre of gays by a Muslim, using the left’s current logic, was Obama’s fault.

    Good point.

    In cases like this, in which Trump is indefensible, the RW has nothing but deflection.

    That is especially troubling, since it is universally accepted that this massacre was a result of Trump's Anti-Islamist HATE

    Trump is indefensible of a shooting thousands of miles away? Stop watching CNN and watch your intelligence improve.

    I doubt that........

    An environmentalist who has contempt for 1%ers and says "Dear God no" to Trump that's supposed to be a right winger? Sounds like a left wing nationalist to me. Nut jobs come from both sides of the aisle, but an environmentalist who has contempt for 1%ers as a right winger is very hard to believe.

    This is fkn stupid. Read the damn manifesto.

    He makes it abundantly clear that he hates Trump but finds the divisive image of him as some sort of white supremacist useful for his purposes.

    He has been radicalizing for years before Trump, who holds no spot in his ideology whatsoever. Indeed he makes it openly known that he hates conservatives as in some ways worse than progressives.

    So incredibly arrogant to think everything revolves around you yanks.

    My sympathy to the people of New Zealand and Australia, what you've had to go through is simply heartbreaking. Reading the snippets of his manifesto depressed me, because in some regards as a Fascist, I concurred. Specifically he was right about how to divide America and the West through the false propaganda hoisted upon us. It is no longer necessary for the Russians to interfere, the leviathan that is America will
    devour itself in the same manner as the fall of Ottoman.

    In the aftermath, the best prospect for world peace is Japan, and/or the EU divorcing from its cozy relationship with the Chinese.

    Who or what inspired him is irrelevant. The pervasive divisiveness in our society and the world is more likely the cause.

    If you read the shooter's manifesto it is pretty clear he set this up to get the reaction he is getting. Mentioning Trump is a sure way of guaranteeing the media will report this nonstop.

    These days it is best to wait a few days to get the truth. The initial reporting is usually wrong so I just dismiss it.

    The media will report this anyway and they should. Trump does not have to be mentioned and his rhetoric doesn't serve as a calming factor.

    it's all politics with some people never let a tragedy go to waste. It's kind of sickening and despicable that people are reduced to this. Their first thought is how to spin this as the fault of their political rivals.

    I wish I could say it's a surprise people would use a tragedy as a bludgeon to attack political opponents, but that seems to be the only reason some folks are even talking about this.

    Funny it was wrong when Alex Jones did it but not when you do it.

    If it wasn't for double standards some people would have no standards at all

    But you see Donald Trump and by proxy everyone that voted for him and everyone that disagrees with this poster along political ideology is just as guilty as the murderer.

    It's horrific 49 people were murdered and all they can think about this how to use that to bludgeon to their political opponents.
