After the Mass Shooting by Republican Nikolas Cruz, photographed earlier in his MAGA Hat, his idol and Fuhrer sounded almost reasonable in his proposals for Gun Control, some of which actually made sense. It the time, I said he was just playing to what he thought the audience wanted to hear, but I have the advantage of seventy years on this planet, in which I have learned that’s what Republicans do. At the NRA’s Ammosexual-fest, Trump proved me right. He also proved Cameron Kasky wise beyond his years.
During his speech at the National Rifle Association’s annual conference in Dallas, Texas, President Donald Trump delighted the crowd by making reference to some of his greatest hits of campaign rhetoric, in which he made a bigoted attack on Mexican immigrants.
“These countries send up their worst,” Trump told the crowd. “Remember in my opening speech, I got criticized for it. Remember? Well, guess what. They’re not sending their finest. That I can tell you.”
But the mere fact that Trump made the decision to offer the NRA his unqualified support demonstrates that memory doesn’t always serve him.
In the immediate aftermath of the deadly school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, the president assailed lawmakers for their failure to respond, ridiculing them for being “afraid” of the NRA. At the time, Trump offered to consider a range of policy responses, including a ban on bump stocks, and raising the minimum age to purchase assault weapons from 18 to 21.
That these commitments have fallen by the wayside did not escape the attention of Cameron Kasky, one of the Parkland survivors who has been publicly vocal about the need to enact some degree of common sense gun reform legislation. During a Saturday morning appearance on CNN’s “New Day,” Kasky laced into the president for being two-faced on the matter… [emphasis added]

Kudos to Cameron. At the risk of offending my anti-GMO friends, let’s clone him!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I’m anti-GMO myself – but that’s largely related to food allergies, and I don’t eat people. I’ll go with cloning Cameron.
OT, but it was mentioned – has anyone ever challenged Trump’s assumption that any other nation SENDS us immigrants? Because, you know, that isn’t how it works. Even from the most restrictive of countries from which people have to escape to do it, immigrants are self-selected. Mexico, nor any other country, is not SENDING us anyone. They are sending themselves. And considering the fact that what Schmuck a l’Orange considers “their best” would be the whitest and the richest, no, those prople probably are not coming. But they also aren’t the best. Those who are coming here seem pretty fine to me.
Such a wonderful young man!
Considering all that the students have been through, sadly,… I’m so happy to see them speaking up & out about this.! Kudos, Cameron, well done!
trump is a facetious 2 year old!
Cameron Kasky for president….. after he graduates!!
i love this kid, he gives me hope for the future!
Cameron is for real, and he rocks! Happily being in your/our generation is not a requirement for being able to see that the emperor is not only naked (ugh! perish the thought!) but empty, vacuous, filled with nothing but his nothingness, and greed.
The Parkland kids were shot at and those that survived were then lied to by the highest power in the country, their president. Boy, did that make those kids grow up fast. In every sense, including politically. Cameron has grown into a well-spoken activist who is now taking his fights against assault rifles to another level: equal opportunity to vote and a fight to get Drumpf and his greedy minions out of office. I hope his fellow-students do the same.
Drumpf has not only angered a great number of Americans with his cheap rhetoric at the NRA convention, he unwittingly outraged both the French and the British with his cheap jokes and enactments at the expense of their tragedies:
French outrage after US President Trump mimics Paris attackers
Trump’s London knife crime comments ridiculous, says surgeon
Get your barf bags ready for this special edition gun displayed at the NRA annual meeting
?
Thanks all. Pooped Hugs!
Cameron is wiser, more articulate and smarter than Drumpf which some will say doesn’t say much as the Liar-in-Chief is scrapping the bottom of the human barrel. But in my mind, students like Cameron Kasky, David Hogg and Emma González are exemplary. Unlike the Orange Ogre, they know exactly what they’re talking about, and they speak common sense.
