So, another shooting…involving President Trump:

BREAKING: Gunshots were heard outside the White House moments ago, with reports estimating approximately 20-30 shots fired. Secret Service instructed members of the press present on the grounds to immediately run inside the press briefing room as the situation unfolded.

I with the sentiment of this comment here:

Seriously.

The 21-year-old who pulled a revolver out of a bag and opened fire at Secret Service agents outside the White House died after being shot, according to CNN.

    Cartoonists win the day again! The only way I can take the news is with a great deal of snarky, mean cartooning. This is beyond ridiculous. Trump needs to die or go.
