Let me look into the crystal ball.
He's already said that "many people" are looking into it, after he spoke with them. Bill Barr was one of them.
He's already said that the incidents were the result of "mental illness."
He's got a shitload of Republican House and Senate members lined up at the NRA teat.
He's basically painted into a corner, he's already revealed what we can expect.

(115,693 posts)I couldn't care less what that useless douchenozzle has to say about this or anything else.
Miles Archer
(18,837 posts)...I'm sure it will be replayed hundreds of times throughout the day, and I'll be interested in seeing if anything other than what I laid out in my OP will happen.
I do not believe he'll call out white nationalist terrorists, OR gun violence, so he really doesn't have much to work with. He basically said it already when he came back from the golf course with Melanie.

(32,083 posts)Shut the fuck up, Donnie. Just shut the fuck up. Not a damn thing you can say, beyond "Mike Pence and I are stepping down and turning ourselves in to the authorities," can make things any better. And, we all know that will never happen. So just shut up.

(8,419 posts)Don't ever bet against the ignorance of the average American and don't ever bet against the media covering up for a Repuke. (Since the introduction of Fox "News"
Now, the Country might have turned on him which will force the media to turn.
But today they all tried the trial balloon against Beto. Not directly to him, because the media are fucking cowards. but every Dem was questioned on Beto's statement. You want to know how many Repukes were asked if tRump was a racist? Honestly I don't know because the media was giving Dems time today in a switch from the normal three repukes to one Dem ratio.
We will find out tomorrow, my money is that they will continue to make Dems defend Beto, although somewhat lightly, and hope tRump gives them some distraction.

(51,593 posts)like one did last week. He either ignored it or didn't feel it due to all the chemicals in and on his orange scales (not human skin). The TV cameras sure saw it though. I'm surprised his pointy tongue didn't dart out and eat it. Mmmmm, Yummy.
