@Heucuva8 @CommonSenseGent @MommaJ @Render Mental health is NOT driving gun violence.

The science says so.

If you want to spend money for MH, that’s great.

But don’t pretend it’s to solve gun violence.

So, reduction in mag capacity is now a bad thing?

I thought dying from gunshot wounds was bad.

Reducing mag capacity in no way changes your gun. It still works. It will still kill. It just won’t kill as much at one time without reloading.

Here’s the kicker: SCIENCE PROVES IT!

So, Biden gave a date and time, Trump accepted the conditions and now Trump wants to adds a new debate—but Biden never said “ANYWHERE” or “ANY TIME”.

Trump is scared and wants a Trump friendly moderator. He doesn’t want a fair debate.

Trump will pull out of the debate. When he agrees to terms he ALWAYS changes them.

This is his history.

Trump is already trying to weasel out of the debate. Biden and Trump already agreed to a date and time, satisfying Trump’s conditions.

Now Trump wants to add a third debate because he doesn’t like the moderators.

Trump is scared. “ANYWHERE” and “ANY TIME” were a bluff. Biden called him and now Trump is afraid. He should be.

Biden is smarter than Trump.

@Alfred create an image of a cybertruck driven by a cyberman.

“Both moderators say Trump’s Hitler, so the debate will be fair and balanced,” Watters said sarcastically. “Is Tapper going to cut the cameras away from Trump to fact-check him? We’ll have to see.”

Wait… is Fox News DEFENDING Hitler?

Bought an EV. Damn I hate haggling. Was about $1500 more than we wanted but it was taking forever (of course the manager had to come out and make a song and dance and HAD to call the company to get “approval” 🙄

JD Vance is such a good friend to Trump that Trump can’t remember his name.

That’s how close they are.

Re: Mike Johnson “We believe and the Bible teaches that any form of sexual immorality, such as adultery…is sinful and offensive to God.”

So of course he is out helping a man who has had affairs with many many women as well as cheated on his wives.

Apparently, Trump outranks God for this man.

“Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey (R) announced Monday that she has signed a bill into law punishing employers that make it easier for their employees to bargain collectively.”

Businesses need to move out of the business-unfriendly state.

Collective bargaining isn’t an unreasonable tool for employees to assure fair treatment.

These “right to work” states are no friend to workers. They want to pay low wages to workers and want governments to enshrine that into law.

GOP States are NOT for the people.

“Donald Trump is continuing to see possible warning signs for his White House bid as significant numbers of people are still voting against him in the GOP primary.”

Poll are just part of the picture. I can’t see Trump winning with approximately 20% of Republican voters voting against him.

Trump has a Republican problem and is assuming they are all onboard the Trump train.

Many, I suspect, will either write in Haley or vote RFK.

“He added that both Judge Juan Merchan and prosecutors will want to know if the GOP politicians' comments about the trial were orchestrated by Trump. Merchan had placed a gag order on the former White House leader that prevents him from criticizing jurors or potential witnesses in the case.”

Of course they were. Someone is going to prison.

Orange mobster is going to be treated like a mobster.

“After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade nearly two years ago, doctors started seeing more young adults seeking vasectomies or getting their tubes tied, emerging research has found.”

“It got worse. Ford’s market share dropped from 51% in 1924 to 32% in 1926.”

Elon Musk has a history problem.

When you are ultra wealthy you forget the big picture. You forget you are DEPENDENT on customers, not the other way around.

Trump’s Boy Band wannabes.

OMG the Republicans who attended Trump’s trial wore matching suits.

Republicans aren’t serious—just performative. You get a better performance on TikTok.

The GOP had the worst Congress in more than 100 years. Nothing of import was passed. Nothing.

And now this: playing dress up for the orange authoritarian. JFC.

Sen. Lindsey Graham told in 2016: “If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody would convict you.”

TBF, there isn’t a single senator who likes him, Republican or Democrat.

“Cruz…is casting himself as a bipartisan lawmaker with a penchant for reaching across the aisle.”

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

The 60’s were kind to him. Boehner called him “Lucifer in the flesh.” And he is a Republican!

Cruz is the antithesis of bipartisan.

Shrimp costs $10 bucks for 30-40 shrimp.

Red Lobster was losing money on every person.

This is how bad executives were at math.

“ Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung did not respond to specific questions about the posts. Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has a right to criticize what he called “un-Constitutional witch hunts,” Cheung said. He also asserted, without citing examples, that Trump has been the target of calls for “despicable violence” from “Democrats and crazed lunatics.”

If you hadn’t made me mad I wouldn’t had had to beat you!

“The popular seafood chain reportedly was considering bankruptcy last month, according to Bloomberg and CNBC, and has faced significant shake-ups in its executive team over the past three years.”

MAGA blames Biden not the Red Lobster execs who admittedly made piss-poor business decisions. “Endless Shrimp” for $20 can’t be blamed on Biden.

Idiots.

"What I think, Dana, is that people should look at the record here and recognize that Donald Trump has actually been really good for the state of Israel," he said. "We had peace and prosperity in our country, and we had a very stalwart ally of the Israelis."

And has argued that should he be President that he would assure Palestinians would be wiped out.

And that he would help in genocide.

This is the guy Trump will probably pick as VP.

White privileged people don’t think they have to follow the law.

We need to show them that they do.
