You can't make this stuff up
You should talk to Rick Scott about that who made all kinds of new laws after that.

He's definitely not "the left" as he is allowing Florida to die due to his negligence. We are not even allowed to say the word (CC or GW) in the state government there.

Back to this poor woman......

Her death is tragic. Not because she is pretty. Not because her family loved her. If she was an ugly 35 year old it would be tragic also. Violence is tragic. If she was a high school dropout whose parents were divorced it would be tragic. If she was Mexican or Asian or Black it would be tragic.

There really isn't much of a lesson to be learned here...this stuff happens regularly. Making it all political is fruitless.

The biggest lesson, IMHO, is that carrying a can of MACE is a really good idea when alone like that. If not that, some sort of personal protection or panic button/device...

In my heart I know this is not the fault of the GOP Operative that hired him. It's not the fault of our immigration policies - because being a good long term worker, such a dude would likely get a guest worker status anyway (if we had decent policies).

It's just a random act of great violence...and it's sad that the Right is acting like WestBoro Baptist Church in trying to make it more than that.

Yeah, but humans can't hear a dog whistle, which is the whole idea! It's meant so that a certain audience (usually deplorables) gets the message while others, more decent, don't see it as a call to arms.

Some of the encrytions are more obvious than others. But without a doubt the politics forum is where you're most likely to see them.

I wish the dog whistle worked on this thread. Its only 10 pages. But deplorables dont care about minority deaths, or when supremacists commit them. Talk about someone illegal and the thread is 87 pages. Neo-COns dont care about americans.

What Planet was he from ? Do we have an extradition treaty with them ? Is this why Trump wants a space force ? These illegal aliens have figured out space travel ?

Such a shame too because at one time decades ago before the liberals infiltrated that magazine, it used to be respectable journalism. Not anymore.
Is that why Trump chose to have his face photoshopped onto the cover of Time Magazine?

Faking a Time magazine cover is the most Trump thing ever
