Bruh, fucking what? This shit has been going on since the 90s. How the fuck is that wanting an immediate answer? It's the exact opposite of that.
Bruh, fucking what? This shit has been going on since the 90s. How the fuck is that wanting an immediate answer? It's the exact opposite of that.I was referring specifically to them asking this question in the immediate aftermath of a tragedy. Unless he already had a plan in the pipeline, which we know he doesn't, there really isn't any definitive way to answer that question on the spot like that. Thoughts and prayers was a stupid answer, I think we can all agree on that, but Kemp ain't gonna come up with the magic solution in a soundbyte

"do you expect him to have a plan on the spot?"And I agree that that's a better answer, but those are still hollow words to a question that plain and simply isn't going to have a satisfactory answer when asked in this context
No. But I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a "this cannot happen again and I will get back to you on how we can prevent this" as opposed to stock "we're doing nothing. Thoughts and prayers again"
Even a "we will look into how this occurred and take appropriate steps towards the safety of our children" would be a fucking nothing answer but better than what he said.Literally my entire point is that any answer given in the immediate aftermath is going to be a nothing answer. Maybe that's what you guys want to hear, idk

And the entire point you keep not wanting to hear is that this isn't the immediate aftermath. This is something that should have been addressed decades ago. All "we can't talk about this today" does is make sure it's always the immediate aftermath and can never be discussed.There's also this.
If thots and players worked, shootings would stop. Guess what? Hasn't yet.

I already acknowledged that it was a stupid answer, and I don't think I'm giving him any benefit of a doubt by criticizing the question too. It was a pointless question that he answered poorlyThe question was not pointless. It is never pointless to expose the fact that Republicans are the primary obstacle to getting anything done about US gun violence being at completely unacceptable levels.
But then we wait and they tell us to move on as it's too late to talk about policy.
