Trump approves of the shootings:

[Kingofalldems]

Any doubt? A silent message to the deplorables.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

2. Dead eyes.

he's low on fish sandwiches. Looks at reporters like they are birds in a bush.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. I halfway expect him to tweet something to the effect

that the shooter should have attacked the Failing New York Times instead.

[tblue37]

16. That is what Ann Coulter said after 9/11. nt

[Cha]

4. FUCKING FAKE NEWS MONSTER

[madaboutharry]

5. What a weirdo.

He has no situational awareness, has no understanding of what is required of a president, and is a selfish prick.

[rzemanfl]

6. And those, unfortunately, are his good points. n/t

[madaboutharry]

7. You made me laugh.

[unblock]

12. He knows what he is doing

Once again, every thing he does need to be seen through the lens of his desired to impose a rigid social order with rich straight white men on top, etc.

The shooter has acted as one of his enforcers and has done him a favor. He needs and approves of the use of violence in enforcement of his desired social order and his own power.

He's not going to do anything to undermine that.

This is just another installment in the "fine people on both sides" saga.

[Fritz Walter]

35. he's too focused on another thing...

... to wit, his upcoming Performance Review with his lord and master, Vladimir Putin.

Events like this -- and his conspicuous ignoring of them -- are well suited to Putin's scheme to dismantle the USA's political, social and economic foundations.

And cadet bone spurs follows that playbook to the letter. he has such a venal desire to build drumpf hotels in Moscow and other Russian cities, that he sold his already-tattered soul to the Russian-Orthodox, post-Soviet equivalent of the devil. The rest of us are just along for the ride.

Although he'll be bringing his knee-pads to Finland -- and despite all his effort -- he will get from Putin a "Meets Expectations" on some standards, "Needs Improvement" on others. Watch for signs of it after dear leader returns from his 500-day review.

If he expressed any empathy whatsoever here, he'd get a "Clearly Unsatisfactory" rating, and a strongly-worded Performance Improvement Plan. he knows this. As dense as he is, he is aware that -- between Mueller and Putin -- he's crossed over into a devil vs. deep-blue-sea situation.

Let's watch, shall we?

[democrank]

8. The POS gave a thumbs-up sign

around :10

[Sugar Smack]

10. That's the new flipping the bird, as far as I'm concerned.

Thumbs up. It means "FU".

[sheshe2]

9. I am surprised he could even walk that far.

Asshole must have collapsed huffing and puffing once he got inside.

[Zen Democrat]

11. He made a statement -- he's sending thoughts and prayers, of course.

[BigmanPigman]

17. Yep, he TWEETED his THOUGHTS and PRAYERS...

What a fucking joke but consider the source, a fucking clown (an evil and cruel fucking clown that is).

[MyOwnPeace]

19. But he forgot some................

"President Donald Trump wrote on Twitter that he had been briefed on the shooting. “My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. Thank you to all of the First Responders who are currently on the scene,” Trump wrote."

Yes, he did send the obligatory "thoughts and prayers" (as if he even knows what those are!) - and thanks to the First Responders.

But, hey, what about the 2nd. amendment responders - you know, the NRA? How can we forget them????

[bdamomma]

13. he approved

the Charlottesville riot.

I want to hear someone mention him (the president) in another horrific shooting, it will happen. Inciting violence you POS.

[workinclasszero]

14. Hes a demented evil bastard that called the press the enemy of the people

I'm sure he's happy as hell that one of his cult followers carried out an execution in a newsroom.

[dalton99a]

15. Goddamned evil trash

[zentrum]

18. Isn't his because it was a..

….RW nut who supports him?

I find the developing story a little confusing, but I think that's who Ramos is.

[Marcuse]

42. This renders an insanity defense less likely. He will be probably be convicted of the murders.

On the page, Ramos frequently tweeted vitriol and violent threats at both the Capital Gazette and judges he’d dealt with.

“Referring to @realDonaldTrump as ‘unqualified,’” he tweeted at the newspaper in 2015. “@capgaznews could end badly (again).”

[zentrum]

46. True--but he'll appeal

…..it to the new disastrous Supreme Court we're going to have and get off.

(I know—not really.)

[TxVietVet]

20. Media personell are targets for the conservanazi trumpers.

If you work in the media and criticize tRump or conservanazis, I'd be real careful. The reichwing nutjobs are doing tRump's revenge. Unless tRump is silenced, more and more of his opposition will be threatened or attacked.

Just my opinion.

[47of74]

40. If I worked in the media I'd carry all the time.

I would recommend media companies allow journalists to conceal carry and pay for their permits. And I would recommend journalists start carrying.

[paleotn]

21. Maybe he'll send Malaria out with her jacket.

[Different Drummer]

22. He's waiting for SHS to tell him how he feels before commenting. n/r

[SergeStorms]

30. Nah....

he's awaiting his next orders about quashing the media from Putin. Putin is a pro, and Trump is still in diapers (or are those Depends?).

[moondust]

23. Party at the WH tonight?

At least 5 less "enemies of the American people."

[OMGWTF]

24. Not even worthless "thoughts and prayers"? He's a fking monster!

[mokawanis]

25. Thoughts and prayers

tRump hasn't had a (coherent) thought or a prayer in a long time

[trueblue2007]

26. and TRUMP Laughed !!!!!! He is a monster and i hate his guts.

[guss]

27. Thoughts and prayers

I don't think he even tweeted that.
It doesn't read like many of his tweets,
I think its a White house Page, Tweeting mock compassion.
A Trump bot giving a general statements while he golfs

[iamthebandfanman]

28. you know,

when I joined DU back in 2003 (this is my second account, as i wanted to change my name due to primary arguments), we could have never imagined thatd wed get a worse president than George W Bush and his crime infested cabinet ..
By god, weve gotten one.
Hes truly a monster.
A person without soul or conscious.
Cold. Cold in a way only someone like Dick Cheney could relate too.
Frightening.

[guss]

31. I never thought

I never thought it could get worse then the W years.
But Republicans Love da Hate and to piss off liberals.
and for some reason they would destroy the country to Feel good about that.

[Volaris]

36. Yes because the Better Angels of Our Nature led us to elect someone who was not an abject moron

After the absolute WRECK that BushCo left in their wake.
That, apparently, was a bridge to far.
Make no mistake, this asshole was elected because Obama was Black AND competent for 2 terms, despite Yertles desire to achieve a different outcome.
Make NO MISTAKE. Trump is president because of Obama Derangement Syndrome born of outright racist fragility, and not a DAMN thing else. That Putin USED that hate to his advantage is proximal ONLY.

[guss]

43. Agreed

[Puzzler]

29. Words fail me, apart from ...

FUCK YOU ASSHOLE!!!

(apologies for my lack of decorum)

Signed,

Disgusted,
-Puzzler

[kysrsoze]

32. FFS! Is this legit?

[Kingofalldems]

33. As far as I know.

[kysrsoze]

37. Fuck that nazi piece of shit. I wonder how much more people are willing to swallow.

[peekaloo]

34. Give him a break. Vlad was calling in his congratulations

you can't keep the boss on hold.

fat fuck

[njhoneybadger]

38. Carmine Falcone "real power comes from being feared"

This is exactly what tRump has wanted from the beginning.

[Still In Wisconsin]

39. He actually did that fucking stupid "thumbs up" thing he does.

Watch the beginning of the fat bastard's walk into Barack and Michelle's house. He is ABSOLUTELY sending a message to the deplorables.

[smirkymonkey]

41. He simply doesn't care.

In fact, I would bet anything that he is secretly rejoicing over this.

[Solly Mack]

44. Is he more orange than usual?

He looks leathery orange.

[AdamGG]

45. I really don't care do U?
