monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

Which scenario do you think is most likely?
1) He casually carried all those weapons in, and no one noticed.
2) People noticed the large number of firearms but extended an older white man the assumption of having some legitimate business for having them there.

It is no surprise that liberals want to murder people who value freedom.

yabutt isn't it nice when people finally show their true but ugly colors?

You forgot 3) He's a manchurian candidate, and the guns were in the room when he got there.

Can you two honestly say you'd have the same reaction to a young dark skinned person carrying several weapons into a hotel lobby as you would to an older white man?

On the contrary, liberals have been particularly concerned about the rise of a home-grown movement which embraces authoritarianism and ultra-nationalism and seems bent on establishing a repressive dictatorship itself.

We won't need an "evil" foreign dictator to defeat us; we'll have voluntarily surrendered any guise of global leadership as we further retreat into consumerism and tribalism. Other countries will pass us by as we cling to our guns and our religion.

Under those conditions I'd welcome the emergence of new science-based leadership on the international stage to help coordinated planetary efforts to deal with the many rapidly-materializing social and environmental problems that confront us.

That liberals falsely accuse the US of authoritarianism and ultra-nationalism...

Liberals may wish that the US will be passed by...

Liberalism's support for terrorists and evil dictatorships over freedom and democracy...

But even if they really could create a science-based global government after destroying America, liberals will never be allowed to destroy America.

Since taking office in February, Mr. Trump’s E.P.A. chief has held back-to-back meetings, briefing sessions and speaking engagements almost daily with top corporate executives and lobbyists from all the major economic sectors that he regulates — and almost no meetings with environmental groups or consumer or public health advocates

...Many of those players have high-profile matters pending before the agency, with potentially hundreds of millions of dollars in regulatory costs at stake. Some of these same companies and trade associations were allies of Mr. Pruitt when, as Oklahoma’s attorney general, he sued the E.P.A. at least 14 times to try to block rules Mr. Pruitt is now in charge of enforcing.

How far-right trolls named the wrong man as the Las Vegas shooter

This is not the first time The Gateway Pundit, a blog connected to the “alt-right" that has regularly published misinformation, has misidentified a suspect in a killing. In January, the blog misidentified the alleged shooter at Fort Lauderdale’s airport. And in August, the blog wrongly accused a Michigan man of being the driver who drove over and killed counterprotester Heather Heyer during the white supremacist gathering in Charlottesville, VA. Nor is it the first time Gateway Pundit pushed a false claim from 4chan’s /pol/. In May, the blog hyped forged documents uploaded on the message board alleging that then-French presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron was evading taxes. Additionally, in January, Gateway Pundit falsely accused a Washington Post reporter of taking photos of now-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s personal notes at his confirmation hearing, spurring online harassment.

The blog, which President Donald Trump’s favorite morning show, Fox & Friends, has frequently cited or otherwise drawn from, was granted White House press credentials in February. It has since been denied a press pass to cover the Senate, a decision it said it planned to appeal.

The poll of more than 14,300 people found that the percentage of adults who said they had a “great deal” or “some” confidence in the press rose to 48 percent in September from 39 percent last November. Earlier this year, Trump branded the entire industry as the “enemy of the American people.”

The percentage of those who said they had “hardly any” confidence in the press dropped to 45 percent from 51 percent over the same period.

Confidence in Trump’s administration moved in the opposite direction.

There's no telling how many guns we have in America—and when one gets used in a crime, no way for the cops to connect it to its owner. The only place the police can turn for help is a Kafkaesque agency in West Virginia, where, thanks to the gun lobby, computers are illegal and detective work is absurdly antiquated. On purpose. Thing is, the geniuses who work there are quietly inventing ways to do the impossible.

That's been a federal law, thanks to the NRA, since 1986: No searchable database of America's gun owners.

The last time Congress seriously addressed the notion of creating a way to keep track of America's guns was 1968.
