The reason the ayys haven't come and brought us communism yet is that they're too busy mining bitcoin

Looks like a tranny granny, fucking disgusting.

Will crypto currency miners be the first against the wall? We need to liberate the means of graphical production from the buttcoin bourgeois.

We told you the west would go full fascist as the crisis unfolds. The 1st world is behaving exactly as expected.

Cryptocurrency is anti-Posadist

That's because he paid her to say she had sex with him.

So much for the "traditional family-values" Right.

Melania absolutely has to want to leave this man but can't because of the public image issues it would cause.

Comrade Joe seems to be doing fine still.

That would be hilarious if she did though

Florida school shooter in custody, Senator says multiple dead

reuters.com/article/us-florida-shooting/florida-school-shooter-in-custody-senator-says-multiple-dead-idUSKCN1FY2WI

Great. Another horrible tragedy where people sling empty condolences and do nothing to solve the problem. Can't wait for next month's.

next week's*

This one has photos and video from the poor kids in inside.

Will this change anything? I doubt it.

Precisely what do you want to see change?

There will be absolutely no change in the provision of adequate mental healthcare under Republican control.

...

At this point we might as well start arming all the teachers and putting them through defense courses.

They make it sound like American kids aren't shooting each other in school on a daily basis.

if my teachers had access to guns I would be dead.

He's a confirmed Holla Forumsfag too


No, this is number 14 I think just for the year
School shootings barely make the news anymore unless they're big ones like this

so much for the peaceful right

Any source on this?

My senator lying Ted released his thoughts and prayers post on FB. "Sorry you're getting killed by lunatics prols, thoughts and prayers we got to slash medicaid some more".

BTW for those that don't know, all the injured will have to pay tens of thousands of dollars of medical bills, thousands if they have health insurance. If you get shot by a pscho in this country you get the privilege of going into medical bankruptcy. At least your dumbass senator will give you some thoughts and prayers please like and share on FB.

we need to ban the working class from owning guns as this lowly class has long since shown it can't handle the responsibility

this tbh, kids are dickheads and I saw way too many teachers have breakdowns back when I was in school.

I want to do something about this crap, but the GOP want neither gun control nor healthcare. They're content to just sit on their hands and watch the children of poor people murder each other.

He means 20 fatalities TODAY.

High stress, long hours, and shit pay are not exactly recipes for sound mental health.

Remote lock that only disengages during a lockdown.


I bet if those teachers unions were armed they'd be able to negotiate higher pay and better working conditions.

twitter.com/Darren_actually/status/963885137653043200

video of the shooting

That's dysopian as fuck.

Lockdowns start after the shooting starts dude. Best case scenario is a teacher takes out the gunman after he wastes a classroom. Worst case is congrats the shooter now has two guns.

I just wanted to watch the Olympics and NBC covered this shit for 2 hours

this exactly. I'm close with a teacher who's calling it quits after this year. They're in and out pretty frequently, some switch schools a couple time hoping it will get better but it almost never does. I remember one time our principal and superintendent were furious because teachers were caught covertly handing out pamphlets to parents in an attempt to garner support for raises.

Now we definitely know the Republicans won't do jack.

This is the American Olympics.

These shootings always line up with shit the GOP hates.

1. Gun control
2. Healthcare
3. Public Schools

It's no wonder nothing gets done.

delet this

The republicans would support gun control the moment someone takes a pot shot at Trump, ala Reagan.

Fair. Better just arm the teacher's unions and hope that union victories de-stress them enough so they don't murder kids.

The GOP will just say the President needs to be armed and call it a day.

...

Those dumb fucks would, they didn't even care when James Hodgkinson put one of them in the hospital.

Apparently, from his Instagram.

Oh dear…

pol is gonna have a field day with this one huh

Who knew trumpcucks were so violent?

Isn't that stuff like illegal unless you're in the military?

You'd be surprised what you can get in the US.

Nothing to see here, just more of Antifa being the real fascists.

If I'm an American, why the fuck shouldn't I support gun control. America will never be socialist, much less communist. Everyone here other than me and the 20 other leftypol posters thinks that socialism is when the government does stuff, and communism is when the government does everything. That's what our socialists here believe, and that's what all the liberals here believe too. We're hopeless.

If it's hopeless, shouldn't you be happy that counterrevolutionary Americans keep shooting each other? Why would you want gun control?

I don't want to get shot because some shitposter saw an interracial couple in an advertisement and sperged out.

But the more labor-aristocratic Amerikkkans kill each other the easier it will be for the global south the sieze power and establish the Joint-Dictatorship of the Proletariat of Oppressed Nations. You would be making a sacrifice for the progression of mankind.

I almost spat out my burger

Lol why would a holographic sight be illegal?

Because it is a big scary mega assault WMD and having never touched a gun I'm terrified of them.

Reminder Holla Forumsyps wanted Trump to be Andrew Jackson, him having a duel with George Sorros is exactly what would make them cum

Picture looks like it's in some suburb, which typically don't look to fondly for guns from experience.
I should have corrected myself as "parts of the US" instead of the whole (plus him pointing that out the window probably would cause a panic if someone saw)

...

See my correction dumbass. Here:

the president of the United States has become an obscenity and a totem of social alienation. To embrace Trump means to reject liberal humanist values and the progressive pretentions of capitalist modernity for full on death drive nihilism. It makes sense the terminally alienated schizo edgelords who once looked up to school shooters now look up to Trump.

Totally normal for people in the suburbs to own guns. Just can't shoot them in the neighborhood(except in more rural neighborhoods). Also, you're right it is weird for him to be pointing a gun out the window.

...

Why are these kids in high school if they don't know basic English grammar?

It's America. All real education takes place in their universities.

Hey guys, Holla Forums just got there first school shooter.

...

Holla Forums is trying to make to claim he's an Antifa super soldier
Makes u think

10 bucks says that guy is a gay porn star or something.

Doesn't even fucking look like the shooter. Are Holla Forumscucks really that retarded?

You already know that the answer is yes.

It's just propaganda. The goal is to distract the media until people stop paying attention.

Remember last year where the Texas church shooter was labeled a "leftist antifa atheist" by them?

You're right. Everyone should remember proper grammar WHEN THEIR SCHOOL IS GETTING SHOT UP.

Holla Forums is literally claiming that he was a registered democrat AND a DACA recipient. Holy shit they really are boomers.

A weak effort. Bastard didn't off himself, so we can look forward to the trail.

Their music taste being classic rock should be obvious.

It would explain why they fall for their own false flag operations.

It doesn't matter.
The fake information just needs to spat out once. Confirmation bias renders facts meaningless. It's the same Protocols-tier forgery shit.

=D

fake as fuck

I know it's fake. I've just seen Holla Forumsyps on social media try to spread that OP pic was the dude.
