xfundy's JournalPOTUS should declare that Repubs should
not shoot themselves in the head on live television en masse.
That would end the nation's problems.

Remember those "gentle Christians" whose bakery died, 'cuz gays?
Yes, more cake for xians.
"Jesus is my (N-word)"
Just... wow.
All sorts of things happen when theists try to be "hip."
Also, no offense intended. This is a real thing.
The real war is against us, regular Americans.
They are testing our limits, and have found little resistance.
We're mostly friendly, trusting, go along, get along. We believe in the promise of America, the American dream, the ability to be whatever, become whatever you want to be, thanks to the unlimited promise of America. Millions have achieved success, so we're assured we can, too. American success stories abound, if only we mirror them and achieve our success, all on our own, like our heroes, those we want to emulate in their success. Success is available for anyone, 'cuz America allows it to be so!
But the rules were changed, without notice to those of us who live outside the current "ruling class" without insider access to their methods.
Let's say we invented a better way to, I dunno, roast peanuts. We try to bring this to market, but some corp claims ownership of our idea. Well, you can't copyright an idea, so they steal it, brand it, sell it, and we are fucked out of our own idea, with the blessing of the copyright office.
How is this part of the American dream, if a corp can steal an idea and claim it as their own?
I have more thoughts on this and will post them later. Interested in thoughts in the meantime.
Financial "punishments" clearly don't stop corruption.
They just don't, because they constitute a miniscule amount of what the corrupt organizations bring in on a single day.
I wonder what is a better punishment? I would not complain if the death penalty was an option for psychopaths who wilingly kill and abuse people without remorse.
Or, perhaps, if the death penalty was dangled out as the only other option if they chose to go to jail and work in a sweatshop to make something basic and important to most people in the world.
Every CEO should be made to eat his company's products, if it's food,or wear it, if it's clothing, or, follow this meme out to it's logical end, if you will.
Why don't we focus on eliminating the chemicals that are killing Americans?
As in, All the nonsense that's in our foods, what we are prohibited from knowing about?
Ammonia in beef driplets is the least of it. Why don't we focus on what's making everyone fat, no matter how much they eat?
HFCS is doing it's part to kill Americans, as is extra salt, fat, sugar added into most everything--NOT JUST processed foods, but "fresh" foods as well--color injected or fed into animals we eat, antibiotics which have made most others lose efficacy, chemicals flushed into water supplies, oceans, lakes, rivers that certainly affect other animals.
So, why, goddammit, don't we stop these atrocities, which affect Americans on a daily basis, before getting involved in a civil war which has only recently used/maybe not, chemical weapons on others, while chemical weapons are being routinely used against Americans and directly affect our own citizens?
Richard Simmons has lost his mind.

Oh, look. Another school attack with death.
**CORRECTION**I originally referred to this atrocity as a "shooting." Apologies to all.

A teen student was stabbed to death and three others were injured in a possible gang-related confrontation Wednesday at Spring High School in the Houston suburb of Spring, Texas, Harris County Sheriff Adrian Garcia said.
Three students described as "persons of interest" were taken into custody after the fight in a hallway leading to the school cafeteria, he said. At least two were taken away in handcuffs, KTRK-TV reports.
The sheriff's office later said it was questioning a 17-year-old boy as the only suspect, the Houston Chroniclereported.
Spring High School, which serves 3,000 students, was locked down, and classes were canceled the rest of the week.
Garcia said the stabbing occurred around 7:10 a.m. and "may have been gang-related." He said the incident started with a physical confrontation involving a "cutting instrument." Investigators have not found the weapon involved.
