Republicans have time to pettily paint over a memorial for people killed in a mass shooting because they can’t hate gay people enough, but they can’t be bothered to stop school shootings because they don’t love children enough. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
Better rename Florida's Rush Limbaugh Way, George Bush Boulevard, Ronald Reagan Turnpike, and President Donald J. Trump Boulevard.
The Evil is the point! They want to erase them!
They‘re dead inside. Nothing to expect from them.
Wrong take. Common-sense Americans, i.e. Normal People, are sick & tired of Progs. incessantly pushing their woke agenda in their face. Or, in this instance, on their streets. You just don’t get it, do you? Woke neo-Marxism is a kind of religious orthodoxy practiced by unthinking zealots.
You are the last person on Earth anyone should take seriously on matters of what "Common-sense Americans" believe.
I never claimed I was on earth, let alone the last person on it.
May as well try to get a tiger to change its stripes.
Well said.
But they use protecting children as the reason for their hatred.
They use controlling women as the reason for their hatred. Children are a coincidental by-product.
well said
Sure they do, till they’re born..
It was intended to be a grevious offense. If you are worried about memorials and people being disappeared, you're not watching the oligarchs walking off work everyone's piece of the pie.
They are the 🤬 worst of humanity.
Can’t wait for enough Americans to have an LGBTQ individual in their lives that they will push back against this senseless cruelty. 🙄
That closet door ain’t closing no matter how much paint they buy.
Tine and money wasted.
My Floriduh
I think it is incredible, fantastic, wonderful, that the walkway keeps coming back, in full memorial colors. Yessss. That's the spirit.
To MAGA kids are only one of three things. Property, a mobile fleshlight, or a target.
That is one of the most heartbreaking statements I have ever heard. Because it is 100% true.
Das ist ein klassischer Umweg, um die eigentliche Problematik zu vermeiden. Denken Sie an die Kinder, die bereits Opfer wurden, anstatt sich auf die Täter zu konzentrieren.
DeSantis is very big on culture war political theater. He’s such a petty, whiney, weasel who likes to make believe he’s a tough guy. Hmmm sounds like someone else. In fact, it sounds like the entire GOP.
Tough guys frightened of public transportation
Bootsy McPuddingfingers has no dick, so this is all cosplay.
They can't paint the roads, right? I'd be painting everything that's not a road.
time to keep putting up rainbow flags on that block!
THAT is the 'trumper republican NAZI party'....... as it HONORS 'their HATE' . . . .
Wear rainbows, all the time, on shirts, hats, pins….
Perfect point
Fuck Republican empty “thoughts and prayers. #GunReformNow
Great post.
The far right buried more guns than the left owns. Do you think you will ever control those?
They're also fine with kids being raped - as long as it's by leaders of their church or political party.
The Greedy Old Pedophile party.
Wait till Lindsey Graham and Mike Johnson see this…..things will not happen
The leaders holding the powers of America consider their wealth & power are much more important than the life of others. To me, that's been clear for decades now; both Dem & GOP. Only one exception: President Carter; I saw a man who truly cared about the well being of others most.
Why must the memorial be LBGTQ themed? What's wrong with a plaque with individual names? I bet I know.
Assholes aren't *going* to asshole; assholes *have* to asshole, otherwise their life has no meaning.
Republicans love children, but for all the wrong reasons.
Perfectly put
If we're really going to stop this madness, we need to show the dead bodies on TV. That's the only way to create enough outrage to make millions of Americans pummel their representatives into banning assault weapons, flagging large ammo purchases, and providing adequate mental healthcare.
Republicans are solely motivated by hate at this point.
They love guns more
When you say the Republikkkans don't love children enough, that implies that they love children. And aside from the euphemism, they don't. They despise children. They torture children. They starve children. And all of the Republikkkans should have their perfectly removable heads perfectly removed.
Grossly Obsessed Pettiness
It's the American rights way: Scapegoat everyone/anything before taking personal responsibility/being accountable. That's why they indoctrinate boys online to never pursue context/develop the ability to empathize... and to never take accountability while generalizing all women as unaccountable.
Disgusting period!
Won't it be funny when these "Christians" are in hell and the heavens are filled with gay migrants.
Well, Floridians, why don't you 'mandate' that ALL pics and references to the dictator t-Rump, be removed from public places??? And ONLY POST pics and info that describe this president's evil agendas!! IT WONT be lying!! If they're choosing to remove 'memories', GIVE them a new one!
Because we have 47’s trained chimp at the helm. Most of our counties have pre-installed MAGA sheriffs. I live one county over from Orlando and our sheriff went viral for screaming that he was going to kill all of us who showed up to protest… all 3000 of us. We color the crosswalk with chalk daily
Yet republimagats also push pro-life on everyone. Women must give birth, no matter. But then republimagats care not for the child afterwards. Make it make sense.
Who did the shooting today? Was it a crazed Republican wanting to kill kids? Or was it a crazed mentally ill kid who thinks he can change sexes because democrats say he can? Which was it?
Don’t think for a moment they wouldn’t incarcerate & kill us if they thought they could get away with it. Including Thiel, Grenell & the closet cases Scott & Graham etc
Because at least in their minds school shootings drive gun sales and justifies their "only a good guy with a gun can stop a bad guy with a gun" gospel.
This ^
What is the defining characteristic of people who are drawn to an abomination like Trump— racism? selfishness? greed? stupidity? fear? resentment? tribalism? hatred? It’s not the search for truth— I can tell you that much. 🤦🏻♂️🚩🚩🚩
Republicans are demons from hell.
These MAGA hate filled rubes are gonna end up making the Pulse Memorial as famous as Stonewall. They cannot erase us or shove us back into the closet. Persist and resist!
It's all obfuscation to draw attention.... look over here, not over there, there's nothing to see over there.. They won't stop gun violence because they want to be sure that anybody and everybody can get a gun to protect them from violence by .... anybody and everybody else that can get a gun...
For republicans, Hate > Love every time.
Yes… that is exactly what they are saying…
Another excellent post. Heart-breaking and the stone cold truth
I hope every person who painted over this has their home painted as a rainbow. Over and over and fucking over.
They are literally defined by their hatred.
Cruelty is the point. DeSantis is patting himself on the back & laughing his smarmy, little laugh.
Except in all the ways they shouldn’t. #GrandOldPedophiles
They love their guns more than they love their children.
Your message while gutwrenching, was written with such amazing grace. You have answered the question of why this keeps happening.😑
George Carlin had it right. They love the unborn, but once you are born, you’re on your own…https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YpFYpoIwQec
Thank you for your usual on-target, sardonic humor.
The GOP are haters of regular people, because regular people are in reality diverse. Their narrow religion blindered pea brains can't handle this simple bit of life.
🟧 = Gun Reform Children over GUNS!
They should be charged with a hate crime
The feds say rainbow crosswalks are “unsafe.” DeSantis calls them too “gay.” But as a gay man who’s fought my whole life to be visible, I know what this really means: the first brushstrokes in a campaign to shove us back in the closet. www.gopocalypse-now.com/desantis-fed...
Well said. We’ve got some rainbow crosswalks here where I live (e.g., across from City Hall & the local university) and they’re no big deal. It’s a nice signal of affirmation & nobody but the most demented sort of bigoted a-holes are upset about them. These right-wingers need to get a life.
They are empowered because they one the battle of Cracker Barrel!
Absolutely, it’s next

Former GOP Congressman Trey Gowdy: “And so we’re going to have to have a conversation of freedom versus protecting children. I mean, how many school shootings does it take before we’re going to have a conversation about keeping firearms out?”
I hope this inspires all allies to rainbow chalk your local sidewalk!
Now DeathSatan has his SS goons (oh, sorry, 'police' LMAO) watching the crosswalk 24/7 so it can't be rechalked. These are nothing but Nazi sociopaths. They are subhuman and pure evil.
Turns out a lot of them have been lovin’ the children a bit too much.
Such devout Christians! How can anyone claim to be a Christian but obviously has never read a word of scripture?
They just can’t help themselves! They only exist to torture and humiliate others. The remaining ones afflicted with this TDS are selfish and self serving. They think the whole world revolves around them!! Evil beings have no soul. Greedlust follows them wherever they go.
Idk. Drumpf, Mike Johnson and Ghilane love children.
It was never about children. It was always about that fucking 2nd Amendment and the NRA.
They are the clan of hate
If you are gay time to leave FL If you want science to keep you alive Leave Florida If you want women’s rights protected Time to Move If you are a Senior Snowbird Time to fly West If you want to visit Disney head for CA If you are scared of Hurricanes & Flooding Move away from the Oceans
They don't. They say the do, protect them from pedophiles, kidnappers, sex traffickers, murderers but what they do instead is protect all those people.
"follow the money" used to be an indicator of crime, but now it's a giveaway of true values they'll always find the money to worsen the lives of gay people, and they'll accept money to ensure kids get shot at school
My opinion. We are sitting on a powder keg. One day it is going to BLOW UP. I feel Republicans are going to be the ones to light fuse. Just to get away from FDT AND HIS EVIL WAYS. Then they will stand back and watch him burn. When does it happen? My opinion. WOW WTF FDT
Well would suggest this to people with a massive rainbow chalking of the state crosswalks, the police after all can't be everywhere
Just shows their weaknesses and fears that they themselves practice in private.
Breathtakingly petty, ignorant, and cruel to paint over that sidewalk.

💯💔
There's too much money selling guns and bullets.
100% of mass shooters= White. 68% of all White voters= tRumpsters. But the military in Black cities. Got it.
🔥🔥🔥
They should start adding "Don't kill, abuse or rape children" in everything rainbow. We know they don't care, but will have a harder time explaining why they removed it.
You have to wonder who thought it was a priority to paint over a memorial to murdered people. What was in their mind?
Hate.
Oh they love kids. As long as they’re in the womb. After birth they don’t give a rats.
Exactly.
There should be a fund set up for the paint needed to keep repainting the rainbow crossing. Don't let the bigots win. Our village painted each of the crosswalks a rainbow color. Everyone loves it. They stand out nicely, too, I've had less trouble avoiding college students and tourists crossing😁
DeathSatan has posted his SS thugs (oh, sorry, 'police') to make sure it can't be repainted.
Make it all make sense
The GOP celebrate pedophiles and murdering children. Absolutely disgusting.
Democrats can't stop these shootings either!!! You guys are just so wedded/addicted to your guns and it's a huge industry.
The GOPedophiles can't govern. They only know theatrics and serve oligarchs. They neglect that the job is to serve the people.

The Orlando city police are fighting off the Florida Highway Patrol who are the ones painting over the crosswalk. A jurisdiction battle going on.
Someone should paint rainbows on the Higway Patrol's cars.
Good idea.
The OCP actually has a Pulse-themed cruiser, commissioned after the shooting. That's what they send to this intersection when the FHP gets lippy again.
They love children JUST enough to legalize child weddings however.
Florida voters elected Bondi and Acosta, two child rapist enablers.
Well stated, Betty!
they love the fetus but not the child.
They don't love the fetus. They love the control of women.
The fetus is really just an excuse.
both
The only thing Christians love is feeling self-righteous by pushing people around. They don't give a shit about anyone else. A supermajority of Americans claim to be Christian, so shouldn't the US be a near-utopia, virtually free of war, hunger, crime, and homelessness? It ain't and that's why.
christians are always on a crusade it never ends.
Florida is now an offense all its own
A friend in FL said this was enforceable because of some new state law specifically stating "paint" and roadways. But the recoloring was "chalk", which I thought was brilliant. But they still painted gray again Any insights from someone in the know?
Nope - they are now singularly focused on the fact that the school shooter might have been a trans individual. They literally hate that entire community. It's lunacy.
So re-paint it when they've moved their stupid asses elsewhere.
Conservatives are a blight on society that need all forms of power ripped from their hands in perpetuity. Theirs is an ideology that must be shamed out of existence if there is to be any hope for us as a species.
‼️
Republicans can't be sure that all the kids saved were White, straight, cis Christian Nationalist kids so no dice.
Disgusting!
If I were a Floridian, I would paint random crosswalks every day just to keep LE busy.
It IS NOTHING MORE than a show of DISRESPECT. 😡😡💔
MAGA Republicans offer thoughts and prayers when one of their own does a mass shooting but do nothing to curb gun violence.
Maybe we should have CEOs randomly assigned to sit in a school.
The same people that keep painting over the rainbow crosswalk think that Ashli Babbitt deserves a Memorial in the capital building.
They are petty full people without morals, shameless and hypocrites.
Yup
Amen
