“Obama wanted mass shootings so he could use those as excuses to take away people’s guns…” (From Rant and Rave published May 10, 2019)

I read this filth and wondered what malignant, rot filled soul managed to crawl out from under some slimy rock and actually put this out for public viewing and then realized this is the norm now.

The idea that a sitting POTUS would support such savagery for any reason is beyond absurd and foul even for today’s nasty times and that Trump plug with a “MAGA” thrown in at the end did little to help the anonymous writer’s already weak and disgusting case but that’s okay.

Civility and decency in any sort of political discussion is about gone now and we’re left with baseless comments like this that have no connection to reality. The really sad part is that a lot of people probably read that and took it as gospel.
