    It would be irresponsible not to draw the connection.

    A connection to what? That the State Department orchestrated the whole thing?

    Isn't it pretty likely that Omar Mateen was severely mentally ill and inspired by Islam?

    If Mateen was mentally ill, who else is?

    Anyone who wishes they were taller, had bigger breasts, wants to lose a few pounds?

    He was self loathing perhaps. He probably wished he wasn't gay.

    What would be the mental health treatment for a religious Muslim who preferred they weren't gay? You can't convince them it's ok, and you can't try conversion therapy.

    Unless you are arguing that Islam is a mental disorder -- and I'm open to this -- then its a copout to call him mentally ill.

    Islam drove him to this.

    Nope. Everything is black and white. Cut and dried.

    Pick a side, bitch.

    Why don't we see heavy folks, who hate themselves, shoot up a Weight Watcher's meeting?

    Why don't alcoholics, who hate themselves, shoot up an AA meeting?

    Are their instances on non-Muslim homosexuals shooting up gay nightclubs?

    So, what is it about a gay Muslim that drove him to mass murder?

    Yep, everything is binary. We can't allow nuanced thinking around here.

    Nuance is fine, except when it's an excuse to not pass judgement on an ideology that makes clear its intentions.

    Yeah, I'm smellin' heavy bullshit on that one.

    Virtually all fast food employees everywhere are under ironclad orders from corporate to never say or do anything to offend customers. In an area that runs heavily pro-Trump, NWIFH fast food flunkies are sending people away with anything more than a disapproving look.

    Just another made-up right wing persecution butthurt meme.

    I don't know where the disagreement with what I said is here.

    Hopefully not; that Nixon-inspired bullshit should have been stomped out decades ago. The president should and does have more important things to do than to screw around with sports teams.
