where the sun don't shine.

The statement "thoughts and prayers" has become nothing but a shitty excuse to do nothing.

To these NRA-embracing cowards I would say: I don't want your "thoughts and prayers". I want you to DO SOMETHING about this, DAMMIT! They're nothing but wholly-owned subsidiaries. REAL guts is telling the NRA you can't be bought with their blood money.

that the State of Florida will pay for the funerals of those who need that help and will provide free counseling to the survivors.

This is nothing but blood money on their part. Both of them have given or tried to give the NRA everything it wants.

Someone on DU posted a list of every piece of gun legislation proposed by the NRA that his administration supported. Most have become law. Certainly one of the most infamous was the law passed to keep Pediatricians from discussing the danger of guns in homes with children. Fortunately that was declared unconstitutional.

There should be a law requiring these crooks to hold up a placard that lists the amount they were paid by their top 3 donors on the topic they are speaking about.

with these names and numbers on it. That would have been great for the Super Bowl...big audience from both parties. If he ran it during the Academy Awards the GOP lovers would claim it is from the "liberal Hollywood elitists".

I wish he'd advertise on Fox instead of MSNBC (preaching to the choir) but at least he's trying to do something.
