Hey Paul Ryan!

You must be joking? You say that a family will make an increase of $2500.00 over ten years! Well, that figures out to be $250.00 a year! Even if you meant to say an increase of $2500.00 a year, you the lawmakers want to take away viable deductions for those who have to work to support others! Not is much of a tax break for any middle class families or in my case I have no family! Nice try GOP grubbing thieves!

OK, I get the notion of protecting others!

But will we turn back to the days of the Wild West, where everyone can shoot back? Most people don't have the proper training to fire a high powered rifle, so when they fire back at the shooter, will they hit innocent bystanders? We should rethink this, but than again what do I know?

So, when Jared went the Middle East to come up with a solution for the Arab Peace talks...

did he give advice to the Saudis about the massive takeover? The Saudis are trying to start a war with Iran. Trump has been provoking the Iranians since he said that the deal was no good and he wanted tear it up! Have to wonder what Trump has up his sleeve?

Did anyone hear Ted Cruz today?

Don't get me wrong here! I understand that he has to deal with a tragic issue in his state, but really Ted! You are telling people that you need help for those victims and families? What about the people in New Jersey, in Puerto Rico and California? I am going send money to help, but it will not be because you asked! Your are only concerned with things when it's your state or feel your rights have violated. Well, those residents had their rights violated while they where at church services. Remember, that is a right too!

What irritates me more is that you and your GOP/NRA buddies will be cowards when it comes to changing the laws that with keep the public safe.

In the last 12 hours......

we had the POTUS blamed the shooting on mentally ill people! A few hours later Kellyanne Conway blamed the Democrats for making this shooting political and then a few hours ago, Ted Cruz blamed the media for exploding this into a political issues! Why can't these people get it right? No, Democrats are not perfect, but the GOP can not even have the same message when making an argument. When the GOP deems it to benefit them, they are all over it and when it doesn't, they run to the hills!

Skirting the real issues!

It is not the media, Ted Cruz! It is the killing of people that make these shootings political!

Hey Trump! Yes there are mentally ill people in this country!

But when you allow them to have guns is a mentally ill thought and you are mentally ill! That is my opinion!

Here we go again!

There is a vast difference with having a shot gun and having a high power rifle. These people with high powered rifles, has turned the US into a killing zone. Today's mass shooting is the 2nd mass shooting in a little more than 1 month. When will this non sense stop? Republicans stand their ground with the NRA and block every avenue the Dems attempt to pass laws banning these types of weapons. I am lost for words to explain I feel tonight, especially when innocent people are killed because of the 2nd amendment! My heart is broken for those victims and their families. Sadly, we have a POTUS who has inflamed this issues and giving these killers a platform for hate. This hate needs to be stop and we needs find a way to stop the NRA's influence of the 2nd amendment. Between the GOP, Trump his money grubbing cronies and the NRA, these mass shooting will most likely escalate to the point where we have more victims? I believe in the right for the public to have peace and not worry about what gun nut who will shoot up a mall, a church, a group of people, or a school. There are no more excuses!



To the victims,

Is there anyway that we can change the door locks at the White House and nuclear codes.....

before Trump get back from Asia? Or maybe Mueller can hand down a bunch more indictments?

So, I watched Bill Maher's show....

even thou Jeffery Lord was on there tonight. It was descent show tonight. Jeffery was OK with most of his comment, but I think he knew that Bill, Rob and Col. Jacobs were not going to listen to his B.S. and he refrained from conflict. Reiner was awesome and so were the other 3 guests.

About imanamerican63

I am just someone who believes in treating others with respect and give those who need help a hand. I don't like it when other peolple think they are better than me. I feel God made us all the same. I know there are different types of people, just like democrates and republicans, but I do think that the republicans use their platform to show they are better than us. I am a catholic, who is against abortion, but know I that can not tell a woman what she can do or not do. I am for gun rights, but against guns that can shoot 4 or more rounds at once. I live life as it comes, but always look to make it better for tomorrow.
