The judgment was/is passed before Biden set foot in office. Nothing he could do would have satisfied Kid or Ward.


heh

So untrue

And of course turning it around, saying nothing Joe and Kamala do will ever be criticized by your ilk is oh so easy

Since I have criticized Joe already more than once, that's a pretty stupid statement by you.

Nothing new.

The Veep gets little of my attention because so little is within the Veep's power.

But it is not an isolated attack. In February left-wing types retweeted a family photo of PM Scott Morrison with Jenny and their teenage daughters, complaining that the flowing dresses Jenny and the girls wore were "Amish".

And 50 GOP Senators saying they will still block any and all efforts to restrict guns.

Of course, that meme was out of date.

19 elementary school children killed.
2 adults at the school.
The shooter's grandmother.

Kid and Ward have no urge to reduce the number of guns in our country, to restrict access to those guns, or much else.

Kid wants those with mental health issues blocked from having guns, but has no willingness to actually fund our mental health system.

bambuworld new PM 'Albo' and Joe were making jokes and back patting at the QUAD meeting in Japan yesterday.
Climate change emergency is now over...Albo and Joe are 'king'.
Albo is a bragger, slogan-driven big mouth, untruth speaker who's promised big with no details, according to some people.
China loves his election victory.


LOL

There's a photo in the paper today of the hilarity and fun times Albo and Joe had.
Photo of Joe pretending to walk out on Albo, with seated Albo in fits of laughter, his arms fully stretched out sideways and mouth wide open no doubt laughing loudly.
He'd better enjoy his QUAD party fun because when he gets home bambu-ilk led by Peter Dutton will be waiting for him.

You have a coalition of useless twats bent on destroying your nation?

How nice for you.

A decade or two fading in the outer darkness should cure your ambitions.

"What are we doing?"

https://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2022/05/24/chris-murphy-texas-elementary-school-shooting-vpx.cnn

How can one be a member of the US House or Senate and not feel ashamed at Congress' inability to act against gun violence?

And no, it is not too soon. No, it is not "playing politics with children's lives" to decry the negligence and obstructionism of the GOP over this issue.

To do anything but call out the GOP's refusal to act is to be complicit in their conspiracy to have our children shot. In YOUR conspiracy to have our children shot, Kid and Ward.

Ward, you want to complain about Biden's speech and claim it is embarrassing? What the FUCK are you doing to make things better?

Senator Thom Tillis is the poster child for the GOP right now.

Quote
Asked if there was a component of guns that could be part of the solution for the problem of mass shootings in the country, Tillis said "no."

He warned the Democrats against having a "reflexive action," while pretty much insisting there are no actions that could be taken.

Senator Joe Manchin is poster child for the mealy-mouthed.

Quote
Sen. Joe Manchin said Tuesday he would do anything he could to move "common sense" gun legislation forward, but he refused to eliminate the filibuster to get gun legislation through the Senate.

He'll do anything he can except, of course, for the one big thing he can.

Nor can he think of anything that would qualify as common sense gun legislation.

Correction..."two military style weapons he bought on his birthday".
Charming.
The only way to stop school massacres now is to stop shooters and guns getting into schools...physical barriers, plus cops/FBI standard armed security guards etc.

OK...having said that, it's time now to do what Australia did after "The Port Arthur Massacre"...ban the sale to, and possession by...the general public of semi-auto and auto assault rifles/shotguns/rifles...only bolt action rifles and single shot shotguns allowed...New Zealand did the same after "The Christchurch Massacre".
Federal govt buyback in Australia.

It's time!
Start a protest movement..."It's time".

One of the guns he carried was a handgun.

Handguns cannot be purchased by any 18 year old from a dealer.

About the new Georgia Jim Crow Laws suppressing voter turnouts


Four years ago, in the previous midterm election, a total of 555,089 votes were cast in the GeorgiaDemocratic gubernatorial primary  424,305 for Stacey Abrams, and 130,784 for her rival Stacey Evans.

This year, the preliminary total turnout in Georgia Democratic gubernatorial primary was 708,559  even though Abrams was running unopposed for her party gubernatorial nomination.
In other words, not only did the law decried as Jim Crow 2.0,Jim Crow on steroids,and Jim Eagle increase overall turnout; under the new law, 27 percent more people voted in the Democratic primary even with an uncontested race. This is the odd voter suppression bill that results in many, many, many more people voting.
Unsurprisingly, turnout increased on the Republican side as well. In 2018, 608,380 people voted in the first round of the GOP gubernatorial contest (Brian Kemp and Casey Cagle went to a runoff, where 588,307 Georgia Republicans voted.) This year, 1,189,921 Georgians voted in the GOP primary.

Somewhat inaccurate.  You cannot buy handguns from a federal licensee, but Texas law permits purchase from other dealers, and does not require a carry license.

Beside the point, however.  It is likely the majority of his murders were done with the AR-15 that he bought right after his 18th birthday, about a week ago.  With high-capacity magazines to go with it.  Also legally purchased.

Right off the bat is Paxtons case that the United States simply lacks the wherewithal to (stop bad people from doing bad things.)  The problem with this, of course, is that its an argument against all laws, not just gun laws.

https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/school-shooting-texas-ag-paxton-calls-armed-teachers-rcna30444

Gosar is just nuts, Paxton (who just won his primary in a landslide) is dangerously stupid and manipulative.  In spite of multiple felony indictments and years of corruption, he won easily.  This is not how politics is supposed to work.  This is partly owing to the loss of independent local news outlets that can fund investigative journalism and pursue the activities of corrupt officials.

Do not forget the evil of white nationalist preachers in fascist anti-Christian mega churches urging their flocks to support murderous criminal republican hacks instead of honest politicians who might serve the interests of their constituents rather than contribute directly or indirectly to their untimely deaths.

This is a big problem in most states and needs to be stopped.
