(89,249 posts)because of all the hatred about Immigrants so Trump now wants legislation that will most likely be harsh on immigrants to make the shooter and people like him feel better .
how fucked up is that.
I hope Democrats don't end up having to choose between voting for gun reform and voting against some anti-immigrant legislation.
I can't imagine where this country would be if we didn't control the House.

This animal is revolting, even more so than those who killed so many over the weekend and since he descended from his tower on the escalator to announce his candidacy. I never imagined I could despise anyone this much.

(271 posts)Something like if he really cared about gun violence he would let the bill for strong background checks stand alone. Keep at him for this. Keep going after him for politicizing it.

He is despicable.

(14,918 posts)something unrelated and unacceptable that he knows no Democrat will vote for. Then he can pretend that he "tried," and blame Democrats for failing to pass common sense gun safety. Oldest trick in the book.
