Forming an opinion based on people who were at Trump’s inauguration is pointless. Nobody went.
Welcome to every DM’s conundrum. “How do I make sure this campaign doesn’t devolve into the story of a bunch of murder-hobos?”
If FriendShip Kitchens ever make it into Pittsburgh, they do pretty fine chicken too. Probably worth a visit.
Jay, it is the time for mourning and not to place blame or discuss gun control or do anything to try to move the conversation forward. The time to do that is when there has been no mass shooting for awhile so we can discuss it rationally by saying we shouldn’t rush into anything.
