Because no one is saying the Vegas shooting is the largest in American history. They are saying it is the largest gun massacre in recent history.


Las Vegas shooting is easily the deadliest massacre in US history

Las Vegas shooting now tops list of worst mass shootings in U.S. history


Seriously? USA Today and a UK website?

Is that what I said?

In case a reminder is needed, I previously spoke out against using the "fake news" moniker to describe sites people disagree with as diluting what actual fake news is. I don't know if it's short memory on your part, or that your trying to engage in one-upsmanship here, but you seem intelligent enough for me to hold you to a higher standard by not putting words in my mouth.

Saying a site is not reputable is not the same as calling them fake news. The National Inquirer is not a reputable site, but they are not fake news either. Any site from this list is fake news.

Looks like they're only going back to 1984. Looks like 'recent' history to me. The context is in the chart.

Of course it's "recent" history.
Is that not enough?

Depends on what you're looking at. On this topic, I'd say it's enough to cause alarm, but I do believe JaundicedEye threw out claims of racism in his meme when citing that it isn't technically accurate of our entire history.

Another possible issue, immigration. 45 and the GOP don't want them in the US and are doing everything they can think of to remove them and to stop them coming.
But many immigrants work in the construction industry and if you look around there is a shortage of skilled construction workers. This situation has obviously made worse by recent 'natural' disasters.
So, does 45 and GOP need to rethink the immigration problem?
If they don't what is the outlook for the necessary rebuilding and also that other great favourite, 'The Wall'.

I reiterate, that's the most insulting thing I have ever seen a president do in my short 72 years on this earth. Have you seen worse?

Only the opinion of the sinking faster and faster and Nationally Dismissed Never Trumpers, Dem's, Alt Left, etc.

Trump is laughing all the way to the bank. With his unintended allies continually exposing themselves as worse than he is.

Clyde

You still refuse to answer a simple question but instead go off on an unrelated tangent.

Of course it isn't "the most...". As anyone reading my response would understand.

Repeating: It is "only the opinion of the sinking faster and faster and Nationally Dismissed Never Trumpers, Dem's, Alt Left, etc."

Enjoying your continuous posting of your, dismissed by most, belief's. Keep it up.

Clyde

I seem to remember that is the description of you.

@Jaundiced Eye: That is actually quite a good point. Why isn't Wounded Knee called the largest massacre? (Because the government instead of a private citizen did it perhaps?)

BINGO! Give the man a cigar.
{EDIT} Sand Creek would also fall under that category legal mass shooting that is not included due to American Indians not being considered equal? You decide. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sand_Creek_massacre Or maybe they are 'War Crimes'?

Also yes I did bring 'Racist' into the picture. Which is a form of profiling like 'Basket of Deplorables' or a CBS legal staffer tweeting she 'had no sympathy for the Las Vegas victims because Country/Western fans are gun toting Trump supporters' or Michelle O in a speech calling the GOP Congress a bunch of "Old White Men".........I would love to see Mia Love(look her up) wipe the floor in a debate with that sanctimonious racist bigot, her true racist feelings are now apparent as are those of her lesser half the 'Great Divider'.

Just had to wait for the meme tide to go out.....but let's see what this does..

Just looked her up.
Perhaps the first Black Women, Haitian American, President.
She is also a Republican.

Strange to call her a Haitian American.
She was born in Brooklyn, New York.
My nephew Matthew is born in England but I have never heard someone call him a Swede Briton:)

No stranger than referring to Blacks as 'African American' even though they haven't touched the shores of that continent in 4 or 5 generations.

Just how we reference many people's ancestry, especially if 1st or 2nd generation. Her parents emigrated from Haiti.
Italian American, Japanese American, Afro American, Polish American, Mexican American, et al, are American.
BTW: Her name before she was married, was Bourdeau.

Then Trump is a German American.

A royal decree from 1905 show that Donald Trumps grandfather Friedrich Trump was forced to leave Bavaria in Germany and ordered to never return ...
Friedrich Trump was ordered to leave Germany because he did not perform his mandatory military service and because he did not inform the authorities that he had emigrated to the United States in 1885. If he did not voluntarily leave the country he would have been deported.

In America Friedrich tried to hide that fact by saying that he came from Karlstad Sweden, not Kallstadt Germany:)
Even Donald in his book The Art of the Deal he write that his grandfather came from Värmland Sweden.
