    Mass shooting Twitter:

    Liberals: It's Guns
    Conservatives: It's Terrorism
    Trump: Thank you, I'm awesome

    I'm sure Obama's writing his resignation letter right this minute.

    I can't wait until President Trump calls on Putin to resign over something. That'll be fun.

    The global war we've been waging, almost exclusively in Islamic countries, for 15 years now?

    The hundreds of thousands of Islamic people, terrorists or otherwise, who have been killed in the aforementioned war?

    The tens of billions of dollars the U.S. spends on terrorism counterintelligence every year?

    The partial or complete continuation of unconstitutional laws pillaging our civil liberties under the guise of weeding out terrorists before they strike?

    The U.S. military's active deployments in the Middle East and the tens of thousands of airstrikes just in the past two years against suspected terrorist targets?

    The "we're ignoring/appeasing radical Islam!" is one of the dumbest in a large crowd of dumb memes.

    More like 26 years if you count desert storm. 23 if you count first twin towers bombing

    That depends on whether you capitalize War on Terror or not, I suppose.

    The Nazis were socialists because their party's name said so, even when they were outlawing socialism.

    China was also a people's republic, even when they were killing 45 million of its citizens, because that was seen as a great leap forward.

    In other words, just because someone appropriates a name doesn't mean that they represent what they are appropriating.

    I'm guessing one of the boys in the back is you and the other one is your brother who is having his wages garnished for child support or something?
