    QYFW's take: Nobody else should propose doing the wrong thing, but it's okay if President Trump does it.

    But he's not a Trump supporter. Honest. Really. Y'all believe him, right? :D

    Don't you know? The FBI is the leftist-Commie-Muslim Deep State. Whatever the Leader says and does is Truth and Right. Much of America has had a psychotic break, and any world leader who isn't talking with other world leaders about what to do about this problem is failing his or her country.

    So the theory is that since the FBI "hates" Trump, this kid is using the shooting to attack Trump. Okay. Got it.
    I was listening to a RW talk show when the Nunes memo came out. The host said it proved the bias involved against Trump because so many of the people who had signed warrants had been fired by Trump. I don't know if he understood that the warrants were signed BEFORE the people were fired.

    Let's say one of the kids' dads is a head of the local NRA chapter, and said kid is breaking ranks with the other kids and speaking out AGAINST gun control and saying that MORE guns in the classroom would have saved his friends.

    Still gonna fire the reporter for finding this out?

    We're not talking about that. It's a false equivalence. Tell me why the kid I'm talking about is fair game and why it matters what his father does or STFU. No deflection.

    Democratic candidate wins Kentucky state house rep special election by 37 points, in a district Trump won by 49 points.

    Special elections are special, but D voters remain fired up as hell.

    I'm just trying to find out whether you really give a shit about the kids, or just the kids who parrot your own agenda.

    As far as I'm concerned, once someone CHOOSES to speak out in a public forum, that person can be praised by someone who agrees with them OR attacked by someone who doesn't. As long as the "attack" doesn't stray from the subject at hand.

    I don't respond to whataboutism.

    These kids went through a mass. shooting. I don't care if they smile. I don't care who their fathers are. Nobody gets to call them a liar or a crisis actor or anything like that.
    They are out of bounds.
