There Is No Lie I'm Too Ashamed to Tell

“Hate has no place in our country.”

In between the rallies and the tweets wherein he provokes precisely that, Donald Trump had the gall to put on his sincere face, stand in front of TV cameras and say this in the wake of another racially-motivated mass killing.

Aside from his base, who is he kidding? The Trump-whore has built his presidency on the exploitation of hate.

If hate didn't have a place in our country, Donald Trump would not be president.

And another thing. I hate to go all caps on you, but for those of you rightly disturbed by the fact that we can be shot anywhere at any time (even if we're a hundred-eighty degrees removed from dealing Oxycontin on dank ghetto street corners), know this:

AS LONG AS THE NRA IS WRITING OUR GUN POLICY THIS IS HOW IT'S GOING TO BE.

Think about it. We not only have a president stoking hatred, but a trade group doing everything in its considerable power to put a gun into the hands of every would-be hater out there. It is, after all, good for business.

For their immediate and formidable ability to wreak domestic terror, I'm more concerned about Donald Trump and the NRA than Kim Jong-un and Iran.

Together they are a duo only Republicans deserve. 

If only Republicans were the only ones to suffer.

Las Vegas

I don't want to hear a single one.

Not a single Republican-issued condolence or apology or any other communique expressing sorrow or remorse or regret at what happened in Las Vegas yesterday.

Through their abject refusal to enact even the slightest and most common-sense gun control legislation whatsoever (does an assault weapons ban ring a bell?), they have not only allowed this to happen they have practically begged for it.

In a better world, having chosen to live by the sword Republicans would die by it as well.

The NRA and their servants in Washington DC are despicable. 

To hell with them!
