Totally consistent with their flat earth mysticism. They also gave us Dr Oz and judge Jeannie. It’s a cast of crazies and charlatans led by P T Trump. But it will pass.

The gun is not responsible, but, apparently, the book is. BAN THE GUNS NOT THE BOOKS. If you are for book bans and against automatic weapon bans, you are either a hypocrite, a lobbyist, an idiot or some combination of all.

It seems pretty simple. If you believe that people who commit shootings are unstable, don’t give them access to weapons. If there are no available guns, there can be NO MASS SHOOTINGS. if we are always going to have crazies, then restrict what we can control. How can you argue that - sanely?

He will continue to push and when people finally take to the streets, he will declare martial law and suspend elections “ until the crisis ends” which will be when he dies. Orwell is chuckling somewhere over a pint with Bradbury.

Obviously the administration will oppose that motion. If the Supreme Court lets her out then Trump has no leverage over her. He would like to get the same deal that he got with Adams in NYC. Grant her clemency on the condition that she behave as he wishes.

In Tenn. it’s legal to deny care based on “morality”. Pregnant woman denied pre natal care because she & partner are not married. Wait! they won’t let you terminate unwanted pregnancy, then deny care if you go through with the pregnancy. Then they take away your insurance. R is for repulsive.

Worth noting that Trump, 13 years ago, predicted that Obama would use a strike on Iran as a way to bolster or distract from cratering poll numbers. Trump has always been a student of self advancement at any cost - problem is that now it’s nations he’s destroying, not just businesses or careers.

How ironic that Trump and the Toxics are so eager to send National Guard and federal troops to California to fight “mob assaults” and “Insurrections “ after freeing the people who assaulted capitol police, attacked the congress, tried to lynch the vice president. Where was call for troops then?

No doubt. More protests mean administration will declare state of emergency to announce suspension of rights. This will be followed by “necessary safety measures” that will lead to more confrontations forcing Trump and Co to reluctantly impose martial law and postpone elections. WHOOP THERE IT IS!
