(9,696 posts)Why is the media not asking more questions about the 4 men who died, instead of the empathy-deficient remarks?
This whole "outrage" thing is just beyond comprehension, that it's taking up so much media space is pathetic. Just like the NFL, and the other issues before that, there will be more to come and everyone will fall for it.
Is outrage all we have left?

(36,502 posts)MSNBC covers it a little bit - mostly on the State Dept. I don't see anyone else talking about how he's shrinking the landscape of the federal govt. This is what happens when people vote for candidates who openly disdain government & want to 'drown it in a bathtub.' Stupid, stupid people. If the GOP gets their precious tax cuts, the corporate cash will flood the repub party for 2018/20. We will be fucked for a very long time. Certainly the rest of my lifetime.
