Other than that, I have no thoughts or prayers to offer - they would be meaningless & would offer no succor to the 58 people slaughtered or the 489 injured and their families & friends left behind.
Having a "press conference"???, to conduct an official moment of silence? How utterly ridiculous and tasteless. If the victim's families find comfort in such undertakings, so be it. But, I'm done with these moments of silence - again, my opinion - they do nothing for the victims or their families or the country. So, for me, enough with the moments of silence. Done.
So not the time, maybe, to critique donald trump, but, the words spoken at his news conference rang false to me. Who is the idiot writing his scripted speeches? The words, God Bless America, at the end, I won't offer a comment of my dislike, but, the rest of the religious blather, please leave God out of this. And, at least act as if you have some real empathy & understanding of people's pain; everything uttered had the hollow sound of mere words being recited from a piece of paper. When speaking of the flag being lowered at half staff in honor of the victims, he just had to say " our great flag ". Unnecessary, inappropriate, tone-deaf & lacking in self-awareness and compassion. Also, in the speeches & some reporting, this assassin was called everything, but what he actually is, a terrorist! Why & how is that? Wrong color? Wrong religion? donald, are you afraid to say the word terrorist?
I have no idea what will spur our Legislative Branch of government on Capitol Hill to finally pass a sane gun control law; the murders of 20 innocent children at Sandy Hook didn't do it, the 49 murdered & 58 injured at Orlando didn't do it. And, certainly not the numerous other mass murders in the country. They are in the pockets of NRA lobbyists.
Doesn't mean I have given up. No, at the moment, I'm just so disgusted and outraged.
POST Note: Just so you know, I also cringed every time President Obama said God Bless America at the end of some of his speeches. I personally find it inappropriate. So, sue me!
Also, I'm sorry, but, did it not sound as if donald trump was about to recite the marriage ceremony? Alright, I know, I'm certifiably evil. I need to get off this computer - I'm just not feeling charitable today.
