Report from a friend in Minneapolis with a Trump supporting nephew.

8. If you're a GOP politician, once you have issued your obligatory statement of thoughts and prayers,

you've done all you need to do. You've made it look like you give a damn even if you have no intention of acting on the situation that made you decide it was necessary to make a public offer of thoughts and prayers. In all likelihood you didn't actually pray at all, and you no longer bother to give any further thought to the matter. It's enough that your voters think you thought and prayed about children murdered by some wacko with a gun they never should have been able to obtain, but in GOP-world anybody who wants a gun of any kind should be able to have one, or many. Fuck the kids, we need our guns.
