Sad Math: It's the guns, people

El Paso 20 Dead 26 Wounded
Dayton 9 Dead 16 wounded
California 4 Dead 12 Wounded
Wisconsin 5 Dead 2 Wounded
Mississippi 2 Dead 2 Wounded

20 + 26 + 9 + 16 + 4 + 12 + 5 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 98 killed or wounded in one week.
Fuck the NRA, fuck the 2nd amendment, and fuck those assault weapons.

Please remember after the 2012 Xmas slaughter @ the elementary school in Connecticut
politicians made it easier to get and carry a gun.

And today gun sales across the country will surge because of the "gun humpers" who will
now fear that their precious right to own assault weapons and their ammo will be taken
away by the government.

In 2016 the NRA spent $50 million in Russian money to buy republican politicians including
Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, and Ohio's Rob Portman.

'Too bad!': Trump jokes about 3 a.m. break-in at Elijah Cummings's home

Source: Yahoo News

President Trump on Friday joked about a middle-of-the-night break-in at the Baltimore home of his nemesis Rep. Elijah Cummings over the weekend. Cummings was at home during the incident but was not harmed.

“Really bad news! The Baltimore house of Elijah Cummings was robbed,” the president tweeted. “Too bad!”

Police said the burglary at Cummings’s home in West Baltimore occurred at 3:40 Saturday morning, hours before Trump’s controversial tweets attacking the Democratic congressman and calling the city a “disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess” where “no human being would want to live.”

“I scared the intruder away by yelling before the person gained entry into the residential portion of the house,” Cummings said.

Trump: The USSR became Russia. Rus(sia) goes back 860 AD

https://www.indy100.com/article/trump-russia-soviet-union-history-rally-cincinnati-ohio-watch-video-9036691

We are now the largest energy producer in the world, bigger than Soviet Union, formerly...

Remember the Soviet Union when it was all together, the Soviet Union, when it was all together before they decided, we got to call ourselves Russia.

That was always their dream, to be the biggest in the world. Then it became Russia, and you know what they've done a good job with energy, and so has Saudi Arabia done a good job with energy, but we're now bigger than Russia.

The Washington Post Mitch McConnell is a Russian asset

This doesn’t mean he’s a spy, but neither is it a flip accusation. Russia attacked our country in 2016. It is attacking us today. Its attacks will intensify in 2020. Yet each time we try to raise our defenses to repel the attack, McConnell, the Senate majority leader, blocks us from defending ourselves.

Let’s call this what it is: unpatriotic. The Kentucky Republican is, arguably more than any other American, doing Russian President Vladimir Putin’s bidding.

Robert Mueller sat before Congress this week warning that the Russia threat “deserves the attention of every American.” He said “the Russian government’s efforts to interfere in our election is among the most serious” challenges to American democracy he has ever seen. “They are doing it as we sit here, and they expect to do it during the next campaign,” he warned, adding that “much more needs to be done in order to protect against these intrusions, not just by the Russians but others as well.”

Not three hours after Mueller finished testifying, Mark Warner (D-Va.), vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, went to the Senate floor to request unanimous consent to pass legislation requiring presidential campaigns to report to the FBI any offers of assistance from agents of foreign governments.

Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.) was there to represent her leader’s interests. “I object,” she said.

And please DO NOT pass this around the internet ... Moscow Mitch would be upset.

BTW if the Senate Republicans want to stand shoulder to shoulder w/Trump who is at the
center of the biggest series of crimes in American history, fine let 'em.

The biggest crime in American history and he is gonna get away with it.


Sure it was shown that Trump is guilty of crime(s) but nothing is gonna happen to him
now or after he leaves office. But in good news my local cable company now has more
right wing news/propaganda channels and or programing. Fox News, Fox News Business,
NewsMax, some kind of crap from Sinclair, and a new 24/7 news network that pretends
to "show both sides" of the news but it has a right wing slant. We are about to go full
on into fascism because that is what the PTB want and having that idiot dotard in the
White House is what "they" want.
