As previously noted, the GOP Senate won't allow raising the age - they'll consider a waiting period for the 18-21 year olds.

Universal background checks are also off the table.

There is even resistance to incentivizing red flags in those states that don't already have one.



Basically, the GOP is unwilling to do anything meaningful.

"Vice President Pence -- there were two or three calls with Vice President Pence. He was very animated, and he issued very explicit, very direct, unambiguous orders. There was no question about that," Milley says in the video.

"He was very animated, very direct, very firm to Secretary Miller. 'Get the military down here, get the guard down here. Put down this situation, et cetera,'" he added, referring to Pence.

Milley also described his interactions with Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows that day, drawing a stark contrast between those conversations with Pence.

"He said: We have to kill the narrative that the vice president is making all the decisions. We need to establish the narrative, you know, that the President is still in charge and that things are steady or stable, or words to that effect," Milley says in the video, referring to what Meadows told him.

Someone suggested replacing "weapon of war" with "weapon that can liquify children to unrecognizability."

I wonder if Ward watched the video that viscerally showed the difference between a child's innards hit by a round from an AR-15 and a standard handgun round.
What caliber of bullets were used in each gun?
Discussing calibers of bullets to Josh is akin to explaining alternate off street parking to a cranberry.

If you had watched the video you would not need to ask me, nimrod.

The caliber of your conversational propensities makes it a waste of time to even try to have one.

 RIGHT.

And Trump wanted the Guard there from the outset.  As many as 20,000.

I believe the "No" answer waas led by Ms Pelosi.

The Capitol Police that had to battle so bravely that day have a bone to pick wih Madam Speaker.

It's what they mean, and their context, that seems to be difficult for you.

DeSantis weighs as much as a duck, even while he stands on a huge pile of constituents corpses who died years early strictly due to his mismanagement, fraud, and deceit.

It is time to punish the Florida GOP. May their sad story end deep in the belly of a python or alligator or a federal penitentiary.

Just a thought.
But some guy is on a mission to find a purpose in his life by killing Justice Kavanaugh whose opinion on Roe is not even known?

We were just reminded this is all nicely within legitimate political discourse as defined by republicans.

Look what you started when you opened your back door to trump.

Jan 6 Commission tonight will present kiid will ignore evidence that will PROVE President Trump was at the center of a conspiracy to overturn the 2020 presidential election

-  CNN

Nah man - I am getting the popcorn out.  Should be a great movie.

Nothing in that response denies that you will ignore the evidence.

There was no real new evidence.  No mind changing going on last night.

And Trump is still not my candidate.

Asking for a pardon is an admission that you understand some of your activity to be of a criminal and extralegal nature. In fact it is a famously formal part of the application process.

Keep that in mind as certain lists become public.

Crickets from Ward on the Auditor report.

Sounds like a Carl Hiaasen novel.  I recommend "Squeeze Me," a recent one.
