*Disconnect* alert: TRUMP and JINDAL appear to be flying high, WTF!1

[UTUSN]

On a nothing-there-there trip to Laredo, Texas, all he did was hold one of his motor mouth shoot-offs, where he was able to do his you're-fired shtick on the DIAZ-BALART Cuban dude and to turn the union's disinvite into a wingnut paranoid conspiracy about the Feds ordering the union to cancel. He was able to beat Latinos with a stick and think he was doing it with approval of his masses. Then this morning Morning Scabs and Mika Mouse drooled all over him while he blabbed and blabbed himself silly.

And JINDAL has never looked happier. He's so thrilled to be able to show how he could really really handle the Big Job, how he could be right there and just know what everybody is going through!1 Unfortunately, his brand of "comforting" is to recite an abstract laundry list of theoretical emotions everybody is going to go through, but most of all that, "We will get through this!1" right away even before anybody goes through the list. Nary a mention about how many shooting deaths will it take for his wingnut jerks -- no, "jerks" is too mild, more like CRIMINALS and I'm talking about the followers!1 -- to realize we have a gun problem, and nary a hint of a suggestion that a solution is registration like a driver's license.

1. I Was Upset the Way Trump Was Treated

I was upset that the media, at least CBS, did very little to point out that Trump claiming that he was putting his life on the line to go to the border was complete BS. I watched one report last night on the CBS Evening News in which the reporter waited until the end of the report to point out that the crime rate in Laredo, Texas was lower than the crime rate in New York City, New York. I watched the same report this morning and thought I heard a hint of sarcasm in at least one part of the report. However, I would have liked the reporter and the news anchors to flat out say that Trump was lying when he said he was putting his life on the line to visit the border and that he might not come back alive. I would also have liked them to call out Trump for only going to the border for a few hours and a photo op.


When it comes to Bobby Jindal I just wonder if he responds to all tragedies the way he responded to this tragedy. I was shocked that he responded to this incident so quickly. One moment the incident happened. The next moment Jindal said he was on his way to the crime scene. Somewhere around an hour later he was at the crime scene. I know Baton Rouge(the Louisiana Capital) is about less than an hour from Lafayette, but he got there fast.
