As the spectre of death continues to haunt the lives of America's school children the irresponsible NRA and republicans are more concerned about keeping things status quo. Apparently they simply view mass school shooting and mass deaths as collateral damage in the effort to maximize and grow the culture of guns ans death.

A sick culture supported by suck people.

I saw this. I wish I could say good for her but I can't. The system failed her. I'm sorry she left. She should have stuck around and ignored all the BS coming from the system.

Here's why we are struggling as a country, because when asked about what we can do to solve the issues of gun violence and mass shootings, we get stuff like this from conservatives...


“We need to get into what happened to him, why, by putting money in mental health. Have people thought about that? We’ve gotta get back into prayer. People thinking now praying is bad. No, it’s not bad. We need to pray for things like that. We need to continue to go out and fight, continue to take your constitutional rights away, and I think we can’t do that.”

“...you know, it’s [gun violence] always been an issue, because as I said earlier on, they wanna score political points ... People see that it’s a person wielding that weapon, you know, Cain killed Abel... And that’s the problem that we have. And I said, what we need to do is look into how we can stop those things.”

“You talk about doing a disinformation, what about getting a department that can look at young men that’s looking at women, that’s looking at their social media? What about doing that, looking into things like that, and we can stop that that way?”

You may all think that is just the word salad mess of a typical blogger we might accidentally come across, but you'd be wrong.

Those are the words Herschel Walker, the GOP Candidate for Senate in Georgia. And if he wins, he will proudly serve with with Marjorie "Peach Tree Dish" Taylor "Gazpacho Police" Greene.

The idea that we would elect leaders with a basic understanding of the world and an ability to communicate cogently in English, even if we disagree with them, is apparently gone.

And on and on it goes... Uvalde, Ames, Tulsa, Racine.
