Default The One's AZ speach tonight
Will he be simply respectful and offer words of condolence and encouragement, or will he also interject some loaded political language hinting at assigning blame.

I sincerly hope for the former.

He'll point out that we need to take away free speech, guns, etc. to keep the elite's minions safe.

Either way, he will be criticized.

i expect that you're right. if he does the former, the left will call him cowardly and attack him for not making the most of an opportunity. never let a crisis go to waste and all that. if he does the latter, the right will criticise him for politicising an attack from a Kooknik.

To bring the country together and convince the JSA's that we're not in a revolution.

for some reason the AZ shooting has been placed on the same plane as the challenger explosion and the OKC bombing

I doubt he will politicize this but I do think he will condemn those that have.

The One will start The One's speach with words of condolence (of course). But then The One will suggest that the discourse in our country has veered from the civil to, to use The Yoyo's phrase, loaded political language (e.g. calling him The One). The One will say that this kind of speach is not helpful to advancing fruitful discussions. Then Sean Hannity will call the speach disgraceful.
