I think they finally all realize how stupid it sounds and how useless it is:

All these public statements this afternoon, from trump to the Governor of Texas, Lt. Gov, Ted Cruz, police chief, etc....

Not ONE has said "our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families."

Texas senator: "Our hearts go out to those who are affected by this terrible tragedy"

From CNN's Ashley Killough

Texas Sen. John Cornyn said he's offered his assistance and plans to visit Santa Fe High School this afternoon following the fatal shooting.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those injured and killed at Santa Fe School District right outside of Galveston," he said.


Cornyn continued: "We all are standing by again and our hearts go out to those who are affected by this terrible tragedy.”

that the blah, blah, blah coming out of the Texas governor's mouth was the same useless crap I keep hearing from GOP politicians after these shootings. More worthless hot air. DO SOMETHING USEFUL and effective, then maybe I won't hit the mute button in the future like I did today.

RESIST! REMOVE! Peace.

the meeting will be held at a Roundtable Pizza restaurant (do they even have those in TexASS?) and they will discuss how much the NRA has donated to to them in the past and how they should demand more money if the NRA wants them to continue to do their bidding for them.
