Yes, I’m sure these reckless gun owners who also happen to be Trump-supporting Republicans will finally face justice after a protracted and heavily-publicized court case oh, wait
Well, this is clearly different from the Rittenhouse case, because their guilt seems extremely obvious to laypeople oh, wait
I mean, what are the odds that repulsive white people will be sprung on a technicality yet AGAIN, that simply isn’t how justice works in America oh, wait
Just curious: do NRA partisans REALLY believe in holding parents responsible when their children commit crimes with guns? Or do they see that as a slippery slope to the horrors of gun restriction?
For those who suspect I’m losing my grip on reality: I’m just looking for where the line is. I’m trying to figure out the precise point of demarcation where the NRA acknowledges that white gun owners have done something wrong.
A 17-year-old brought an AR-15 to a public gathering and shot two people with it, and that was justified as “self defense” by gun activists. So clearly, that’s not it.
That isn’t common sense. That’s manipulation of the system to advance an agenda.
If a white teenager carries a deadly weapon into a crowded protest, which party is more justified in feeling threatened?
Your answer says a lot about where you stand in our current ideological divide.
Is the gun-toting teen more of a threat, or the protesters?

SHORTER GOP: Why do liberals blame us every time a white teenager brings a gun into a public place and shoots people with it just because we actively encourage white teenagers to bring guns into public places and shoot people with them
R: I do not endorse the message of the preceding post, as there is clearly a difference between shooting sweet & innocent high school students and shooting the rioting human vermin that are running loose in every city where BLM congregates, for reasons I shall decline to explain
R: Wait, are you suggesting I’m racist for using Black Lives Matter as a dog whistle which equates police-brutality protests with subhuman savages rioting and looting and worst of all destroying property? I’m not racist YOU’RE racist ever think of that
ME: (straps Stephen Breyer to a chair with eyelids pulled apart, Clockwork Orange-style, and forces him to re-watch entirety of yesterday’s Supreme Court hearing)
BREYER:
ME:
BREYER:
ME: WELL?!
BREYER: (chuckles) I’ve never given much thought to other people’s opinions of me
This won’t be news to a lot of people, but the Supreme Court is now so nakedly partisan that it has become the duty of all existing Justices to retire while their own Party has the Presidency.
And it’s ironic that our eldest judges are the least inclined to embrace that reality.
Justice Ginsburg turned 80 & was having health problems while Obama was President. Her refusal to retire was unquestionably a gamble.
What’s done is done. I didn’t fully appreciate the consequences of her actions at the time. But how can we fail to learn from her example now?
Deepest condolences to the Oxford High School shooter, who is doomed to be demonized by the Deep State gun-grabbing media for protecting his stuff from rioters & looters who were surely no angels
This high school student was a proud patriot who was entitled to carry a gun everywhere, and who are we to judge him for protecting himself when he was attacked by other students trying to go about their day without getting shot by a proud patriot with a gun
I implore our nation’s NRA-sponsored Congressmen to offer this proud Oxford High School marksman an internship at the earliest possible opportunity, as he will be a valuable asset to Team MAGA
If we can prove Trump was directly responsible for January 6, would anything happen to him?
No. There are enough Republicans in power to dismiss any evidence that a reasonable person would acknowledge as “proof”.
Evidence without power is worthless.
It is all but impossible for Democrats to command more than a slim majority in Congress & the Senate.
Democrats refuse to fight dirty. They often refuse to fight at all. There is no believable scenario where our elected Democrats will risk civil war to bring Trump to justice.
Honestly, the Rittenhouse trial did every bit as much to test my faith in our justice system as any of the Trump hearings. Rittenhouse isn’t Trump, but he’s supported by a lot of the same people and he represents a lot of the same things.
The GOP will not be campaigning on “Democrats didn’t cure the Coronavirus” in 2022.
They never cared about COVID. They still barely acknowledge it.
No, what bothers them are the restrictions, the lockdowns, & the vaccine mandates.
There is still no real GOP plan to eradicate COVID.
But their plan to eradicate everything else remains crystal clear.
“Democrats hate your freedom! We will restore freedom (by eliminating vaccine mandates & social restrictions… and basically pretending COVID never happened).”
“Aren’t you tired of nanny-state Democrats trying to stop something that was impossible to stop in the first place? Like the Coronavirus, or global warming, or the police murdering unarmed black men? Well, then tell those do-gooders to take a hike, & let nature take its course!”
