I mean, what else is new, but could you at least try to obscure your deceit?!

One person sold water without a license.

The other killed 20 people and injured 26.

Can you guess which one is which?

Evolution works!

Quote
Texas General Land Office Commissioner George P. Bush issued a statement that called on all Americans to stand against "white terrorism" Saturday after a gunman who espoused white supremacist views in a manifesto killed at least 18 in El Paso.

Bush, son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R), said Saturday evening that "white terrorism" was a "real and present threat that we must all denounce and defeat."

"I believe fighting terrorism remains a national priority," Bush said. "And that should include standing firm against white terrorism."

"There have now been multiple attacks from self-declared white terrorists here in the US in the past several months," he added. "This is a real and present threat that we must all denounce and defeat."

250 mass shootings in 215 days in 2019.

More than 500 dead.

More than 2,000 injured.

And... that is not even close to the majority of murders committed with handguns and rifles?

And murders are not most of the firearms deaths in the US. Not even close.

When will the GOP accept that we need restrictions on handguns and rapid fire rifles??

"Nearly 60% of Republicans aged 23 to 38 say that climate change is having an effect on the United States, and 36% believe humans are the cause. That’s about double the numbers of Republicans over age 52."

It is also emblematic of the lies that the GOP politicians ("leaders") have been telling.

But still, the number is growing, as well - the truth is becoming known. Will it be in time? Tough to say.

The true party of "thoughts and prayers" is the GOP, as Ward well knows.

The other ironic thing about Ward's lies on this is his reaction when a Democratic candidate directly contradicts his position.

He attacks her for politicizing things, as if (a) it was not long since political and (b) he had not just politically attacked the Dems for not behaving politically.

Such an unmitigated asshole.

It is becoming almost impossible not to draw the conclusion the GOP has lost its moral compass, and is putting the US into danger.

They simply must be defeated.

Yes.

Someone should look up the meaning of the word politics.  Of course the question of how a government should regulate firearms is political.   Seeking a policy solution to a mass murder problem isn't "politicizing" the events which are the problem.  It's just reminding citizens of the problem and prompting a continued push to action.   We aren't going to miraculously cure all mental illness, nor get rid of all guns in the hands of the mentally ill (or chronically angry) but we sure as shit can back policies that constructively work on that.   

Asshole mitigation, however, is beyond the purview of politics.

Watching the Sunday AM TV political shows it is both sad and maddening to see the equivocations, rationals and inability of the Repub spokespeople to call out Trump and his racist appeals. The cowardice of the Repubs is extraordinary. They've lost any sense of conventional morality. Wil it take a mass shooting in an infested Baltimore for people to connect the fucking dots?

I have no idea why you think that would have the slightest impact on them.
