1. They were shot in a church, you idiot

[SergeStorms]

13. Believe me....

the irony isn't lost on secular humanists. To Trump though? Nah.....just more lip service paid to no one in particular. But I'll bet someone still had to tell him to say it though.

14. He doesn't spend a lot of time in churches...he may not be up to speed on whose houses they are.

29. I'll bet he thinks the big "T' on those buildings stands for trump. N/T

27. That is unnecessarily salty

and that's coming from somebody who looks forward to the downfall of this disgrace of a person.

There have been a lot of martyred Christians, the Roman Catholic church's pantheon of saints are full of them. Am I equating the victims of this violence to saints? No.
My point is that they are not exempt from people's prayers that G0d be with them.

[kacekwl]

30. The message of the day is

Make sure you pray for the victims just don't do it in church.

[struggle4progress]

2. "And also with Puerto Rico, because I really don't care about any of them"

[Ken Burch]

15. "...they're all Mexicans...or Muslims...or Mexican Muslims...and they all disrespect the flag".

[Jeroen]

3. Tomorrow it's business as usual

Golf, grins and thumbs up. I hate the man

[BigmanPigman]

5. "Business as usual" for him is is laundering money

and corruption. Since he will try to see Putin I am sure he will be doing a lot of "business" on this trip.

[bucolic_frolic]

4. Trump promised law and order for Americans

No deep vetting for the crazies yet?

[Paladin]

6. Yeah, the usual pro-gun politicos are weighing in, yet again.

trump, Gov. Gregg Abbott, Ted Cruz. What they won't 'fess up to is the obvious: they are PERFECTLY FINE with these mass shootings occurring in this country, day after day, year after year. They are COMPLETELY WILLING for innocent citizens to die en masse, so long as their open-and-easy right to all manner of firearms and accessories isn't impeded. Their utter refusal to do anything about the gun problem in this country is proof positive of this.

The same goes for our resident band of pro-gun enthusiasts. Shame on you.

8. This happens the day the Paradise Papers hit the news?

Herr Orange's Cabal's Russian business ties are getting no coverage now. Could something sinister be up?

[RKP5637]

9. Why was their god not there before it started. Why did their god allow this to happen. Is their

god now playing catch up.

[hatrack]

12. Slow on the draw, this "God" guy . . .

Easier to surprise than an economist, it would appear.

[Vinca]

10. God didn't help. Gun control might.

[CountAllVotes]

16. *1,000 !!

No kidding!!

DUMP THE 'EFFIN GUNS!

[hatrack]

11. Well, He wasn't, because they're fucking dead . . .

But you go ahead, Pres. Twatwaffle, go hide behind God's apron.

[Angry Dragon]

17. I will say it: NOW IS THE TIME TO TALK ABOUT GUN CONTROL

[msongs]

18. their god allowed them to be murdered and is an accomplice nt

[mobeau69]

19. At least he didn't say "They knew what they signed up for when they left their houses." n/t

[GulfCoast66]

20. Sounds like god was not with about 50 of them. nt

[pangaia]

23. god works in mysterious ways. That's for sure.

[GulfCoast66]

24. Very mysterious...

Almost mythical...

[IronLionZion]

31. God works more mysteriously in other countries where this doesn't happen

But the real mystery is how it keeps happening in our country all too often

21. Don't bother with what they say. Watch what they do. (I like that saying.)

[Liberalagogo]

22. Our hearts are with #Texas

I think you have to have one of those first, SKANKUS.

[katmondoo]

25. I changed channels as soon as they said the Dirtbag was going to speak about the Texas shooting

[YOHABLO]

26. He's 'monitoring the situation from Japan', oh so we're all in good hands. He's a freak.

[Pachamama]

28. They were in "God's house" when they were brutally slaughtered...

...if God wasn't there with them then, where would he be? Or, if God was with them, it really didn't make a bit of difference, did it?

What an asshole that Orange Maggot and the rest of them are who can make such statements.

This was a Terrorist Attack and God has nothing to do with this and won't prevent it from happening again and again. It will stop when the fucking politicians finally stop being beholden to the Gun Lobby and finally start speaking out and making changes that ban assault weapons, bump stocks etc and stricter controls on who can purchase guns.

I am so disgusted and sick and angry after this latest gun massacre committed and the fucking politicians who talk about God or that it's not the time to talk about Guns and gun control.

32. He later called it "a mental health problem at the highest level"...what

the hell does that even mean? What does he know about his mental state? And then said thankfully someone else had a gun.
