Jeebus, What A Gang Of Clowns

In his NRA speech, Donald Trump cites "broken families" as a cause of mass shootings, "because no law can cure the effects of a broken home," he says.

He's been divorced twice.

NEW: Fed agents were instructed by local law enforcement *not to go into the school after the TX gunman. After approx 30 minutes, the feds went against that guidance and led the takedown of the shooter, 2 sources tell @NBCNews

Several national reporters have said today — with straight faces Im assuming — that Trump wanted to take on guns but his aides stopped him. https://t.co/18XAHFUnUX

When they find out that isn’t true, are those reporters going to be as pissed at the aides as they have been at Texas DPS?

I’m not holding my breath.

NRA comes out in favor of message that laws don’t stop crime. https://t.co/oHvgwgGIwW

At least they’re honest about it.

Remember two days ago when Greg Abbott said: "As horrible as what happened is, it could have been worse. The reason it was not worse is because law enforcement officials did what they do"?

Turns out he was totally wrong. https://t.co/yog9B11dfy

DPS: “That’s our story and we’re stickin’ to it “

"Of course it was not the right decision. It was the wrong decision" -- Texas DPS is basically throwing the on-scene commander under the bus for the fact cops didn't act quicker to stop the Uvalde shooting pic.twitter.com/OfZgDoas64

Christ on a pogo stick.

God help us all in Texas. It’s perfectly clear our state government won’t.
