It's true the Dayton shooter was a Warrenite.
He also didn't leave a political manifesto and killed his sister. It's fair to note his politics but save the whataboutisms
I dont really do that, I was just pointing out that he is technically correct on this one thing this one time. Kind of a novelty.
Not really, his point is the "fake news" won't cover that the shooter supported Warren, meanwhile its been all over the news since (at least) yesterday.

His real purpose is to draw false comparisons. The issue isn’t which politician a shooter supported. The issue is that these raging, racist psychopaths hear their paranoias and white insecurity grievances writ large by the fucking White House, and by its media defenders. Nobody posts a screed online about having a private equity plan and improving health care access before they slaughter innocents.

Amen
The El Paso shooter mentioned improved healthcare access in his manifesto, but that's besides the point. I think he and the Fox motuhpieces are redirecting anyway from the specifics of the most recent event to mass shootings at the national level, which are less white (black men have a higher per capita mass shooting rate the other demographics) and rarely politically motivated by or related to white supremacy in order to pacify groups that may be like "are we the baddies?"

“Democrats intend to use open borders, free healthcare for illegals, citizenship and more to enact a political coup by importing and then legalizing millions of new voters.” You got me there.

This will sound like a cop out or cynical or whatever - who do you trust with your donation money? Seattle has pumped MILLION$ into ineffective “solutions” for our homeless problem and it only gets worse.

Well, definitely not the City of Seattle, they'd do a very poor job helping kids in Mississippi.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

A 41-year-old Detroit man deported to Iraq in June died Tuesday, according to the American Civil Liberties Union and two people close to the man’s family.

The man, Jimmy Aldaoud, spent most of his life in the U.S., but was swept up in President Donald Trump’s intensified immigration enforcement efforts.

Edward Bajoka, an immigration attorney who described himself as close to Aldaoud’s family, wrote on Facebook that the death appeared to be linked to the man’s inability to obtain insulin in Baghdad to treat his diabetes. Aldaoud was an Iraqi national, but he was born in Greece and came to the U.S. as a young child, his family friend said. He had never lived in Iraq and did not speak Arabic, according to Bajoka.
