There is no joke. It's just a trollish attempt to discredit through ridicule. Stuff like this is why JBS is 1/2 the population of my ignore list.

Precisely why your ignorant to anything factual. You cant pick and chose what you want to fit your ideology and be factual at the same time.

I have left him off mine just for comic relief. Are we to assume he has become a Democrat now that he is blue in the face.

So who's insisting we must stay then, is this another follow-the-money puzzle?

Last I heard the shooter did a tour in Iraq not Afghanistan Pete. That's what the commanding general of Ft. Hood said last night. Is there new news about that?

Otherwise I share your skepticism with media.
I feel the same about Fox editorial staff and the AM radio talkers as well, it's all like a circular echo chamber of obvious agendas and talking points that renders them not credible at all. I like to use the 'net as a check on anything from any source incl the regular outlets if it doesn't seem right or agenda-driven.
I have both Fox and Huffpo on my smartphone to check what the polar opposite advocates think important, NPR too but they have a broad enuff listenership to keep them under account for bias and inaccuracies and I see them as still comparatively reliable.

Not a provocation at all, just a civil conversation between two equals of differing opinions on some subjects.
Otherwise this 'squirrel' diversion to politicize this tragedy to discredit the present admin was disappointing to me. Trying to link it somehow to the NRA to discredit them would be equally disappointing for the same reason.

Moron!

“We need to harden our military bases so this can’t happen, and one possible way to do that is to allow our veterans and active duty military … to carry weapons,” said Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee.

Myself I was just posting a tragedy as it was happening. Then the trolls weighed in with nasty comments to discredit and disgrace this thread. Why because I posted it that's why.

You should ask them why they are trying to derail it with politics and agenda.
