Kansas shooting: Wife of Indian engineer shot dead in Kansas bar calls on Donald Trump to fight hate crime
By the way heroes like Ian Grillot who pursued the killer and who himself was shot get no mention from President Orange. He is being hailed as a hero in India. Sad!
If this was a Muslim who had shot and killed an American and wounded another, Trump will be crowing about this on Twitter to justify his Muslim ban. But instead we get silence.

Just horrible. How was this going to go any other direction? Of course it was going to get worse and get ugly fast.
Of course this clown wants a big spike ($54 Billion) in military spending now too, WTF do these people not get? We don't want more war! he says we need to start winning wars again, how about staying out of them in the first place? We already spend more on our military than the next 7 countries combined, if that's not enough than we need new people running things for our armed forces. We are one country with something like 4-5% of the worlds population yet we account for something like 35% of the worlds total military spending. This crap needs to stop, I get so sick of hearing rich people say how broke the country is and that "we can't afford to guarantee everyone healthcare" or "We can't afford to give young people 4 years of tuition free college" yet they don't mind spending outrageous amounts of money on things that destroy and kill people. I'm all for having a strong defense but that doesn't mean we need to go overboard like we have been for so damned long.

Think this is the same guy who interviewed someone blaming Obama for not stopping 9/11 so yeah could be staged
It's Jordan Klepper. He's awesome. I know it's real. I know these people are stupid. I'm just repeating what was replied to me when I posted the video. 'Prove they're not paid actors.'

Fox News anchor Bill O'Reilly last week sought the expert advice of a man calling himself Nils Bildt during a segment on refugees in Sweden.
Bildt, who was billed as a "Swedish defense and national security adviser," largely backed a narrative promoted by President Trump that portrays asylum seekers as being responsible for an increase in violent crimes in the country.
"We are unable in Sweden to socially integrate these people," Bildt said of refugees. "These things are not being openly and honestly discussed."
Just one problem: Nobody in the Swedish government has ever heard of Bildt.
"This is not a person who is known to [the government]," said Catarina Axelsson, a press officer at Sweden's foreign ministry.
Marinette Nyh Radebo, a spokeswoman for Sweden's defense ministry, said Bildt has never worked for the Swedish government or the country's armed forces.
Johan Wiktorin, the CEO of a strategic intelligence company in Sweden, tweeted that he's "never heard of [Bildt] before... he's not known in our circles as an expert."
Fox News has defended its decision to book Bildt.
"Our booker made numerous inquiries and spoke to people who recommended Nils Bildt and after pre-interviewing him and reviewing his bio, we agreed that he would make a good guest for the topic that evening," David Tabacoff, the executive producer of The O'Reilly Factor, said in a statement.
A Fox News spokesperson said that Bill O'Reilly will address the issue on his show on Monday night.

Your Honor, let the record show:
1. He is Swedish.
2. Trump is following this guy's advice on matters of defense and national security.
Therefore, by definition he is an adviser, on defense and national security, and he is Swedish, so it's just more anti-American media bulls*** by the same people who claim he didn't win the Daytona 500 when Trump said he did.
*Later this week*
Trump Industries has invested in military warfare construction.
*Two weeks later again*
Trump industries won the bid to arm the US military.
Ivanka Trump also won the bid to supply the uniforms. Standard issue combat boots shall be replaced with 6inch taupe sling back heels.
"The murder of anyone is a tragedy, and our hearts go out to all families who lose a loved one to violence. But let’s be clear about what Donald Trump is doing tonight in inviting family members who saw a loved one murdered by an undocumented immigrant. He is stirring up fear and hatred against immigrants and trying to divide our nation. That is his political strategy and we must not allow him to get away with it. Why didn't Trump invite the family of Srinvas Kuchibhotla, the immigrant from India, who was recently shot down in cold blood by a white, native born American? Didn't his life count? Why didn't he invite the families of the black parishioners shot down in a church in South Carolina by racist Dylan Roof? Weren't their lives important? President Trump, any murder is a tragedy. Don't use these tragedies to stir up divisions by race and nationality?" - Bernie Sanders
I like Van Jones but completely disagree on his comment on the speech last night, saying that in that moment Trump became the President.
I watched the entire speech. Honestly he needed to be this after he won, not months later.
I love how people listen to that speech which is "increase spending here" "cut taxes bigly there" and next to nothing on spending cuts and think somehow that's fiscally conservative?
