Who Loves Guns More Than People?

The answer won’t surprise you, but the money grab will.

The Donald is at it again. This time, that unscrupulous greedy prick is capitalizing on a tragic accident.

Hello, Matt Groening? I’m sorry they did this to you and Homer.

Trump Jr sent out the above Tweet showing the beleaguered Homer Simpson in the role of town crier, alerting us to watch Alec Baldwin shuck blame for a tragic accident onto a gun. ICYMI, Baldwin was practicing a stunt on the movie set for Rust when the prop gun went off, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injuring Director Joel Souza. Who is to blame is so not the issue.

Worse yet, the “humor” on display here is exceedingly un-funny. The opposite of laughable. Even if we weren’t talking about the death of a fellow human being, say, Baldwin accidentally shot a dog, what’s the joke exactly? That’s amusing to whom because what now?

Oh, if he’d only stopped there. But no! He made a t-shirt.
