Longest flight of my entire life, and just when i thought it couldnt get worse, both of them turned cnn on. [laughter] in my misery, i had an epiphany, i realize this is how most people watch cnn, on an airplane where they have no choice, strapped to a chair, and a vomit bag two feet in front of him.

President trump addressing the devastating shootings just a few moments ago. We are outraged and sickened by this monstrous evil. Now is the time to
