Ugh. That stuff is the worst.  Get you some Las Palmas. Their green sauce is the only one I use straight from the can.

Looks like this is a white guy- one of Trumps own..he won't spend too much time condemning it or an entire people.

 

From The Guardian:

 

Donald Trump’s anti-migrant rhetoric has stoked racism in the United States and led directly to increased violence such as the mass shooting in El Paso on Saturday that left at least 20 people dead, according to Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke.

As police investigated the possibility that the gun rampage in the Texas city was a hate crime aimed at Latino immigrants, O’Rourke accused the president of being a “racist” who was trying to make Americans “afraid” of migrants.

There was a link between Trump’s hostile comments about Muslims, migrants and people of colour to a rise in hate crimes, O’Rourke told CNN after cutting short campaigning in Nevada to return to El Paso, his hometown and a city he represented for six years in .

The British Trump should take note, and all that would vote for him.

Thoughts and prayers, etc.

That's the thing when you elect certain people who hold views like Trump or Boris- and others like them over the world.

 

Just look at how America has changed since Trump became president.

The only American on the page pops up on a thread about America's mass murderous obsession with guns and makes a glib comment about hot sauce.

 

I have a bad taste in my mouth

Nows not the time to talk about gun control, thoughts and prayers. 😏

Cars kill loads of americans and nobody wants to ban cars etc.

 

It's tragic. Some nut job out there could be genuinely thinking of going for a hat trick and there's nothing they can do about it. And I'm not sure they want to do anything about it. Gun sales will now soar.
