There have been 307 mass shootings so far this year. Do we really want to raise our children in a country where mass shootings like Thousand Oaks are a weekly occurrence? A country where every single day in America, more than 90 people are killed with guns? Our leaders respond by basically telling us to put a tiny Band-Aid on a surgical wound that needs hundreds of stitches to close.
Trump is attacking reporters again. As soon as they ask a question that he doesn’t like, the reporter gets attacked. The question is stupid, the reporter always asks stupid questions, their network is terrible and has low ratings. Stop this humiliating diversion, just because 95 percent of the media doesn’t sugarcoat everything like Fox News. They are the real problem, they created this monster, thinking everyone must treat him like a baby who could not handle the truth.
Why would the Portage police Chief want a School Board seat? Does this appear to conflict with his job? Does this have anything to do with the school board replacing his officers with county police? Wow, the U.S. is really making progress on the gun violence epidemic. Almost a full two weeks between mass shootings with double-digit fatalities, what an improvement. The greatest threat to national security isn’t a caravan of refugees from a foreign country; it’s your local nut job armed with an AR-15 or a Glock.
What have our legislators done to stop any of these mass murders?
What have they done to regulate gun purchases? With every second that you don’t do that, the gunman is going to pull the trigger and someone is going to die. In the absence of any effective plan to separate disturbed individuals from highpowered weapons, officers are rushing headlong into horrific violence in order to save lives. One thing is certain, doing nothing will never end mass shootings.
Here’s the way conservatives now attack liberals. If they call out Donald Trump for his lies, they clearly are “trying to suppress dissenting thought.” Oh, please. Baldfaced lies are not “dissenting thought.” In the first place, Trump doesn’t have any thoughts. Other than thoughts about himself.
Stop telling everyone how smart you are. Stop telling everyone that you graduated at the top of your class. That is easily checked out, and it is a lie. Most people live and learn, and some people think they are so smart that they have no need to learn any longer. Those are the willful idiots in our society.
Maybe (ha ha) the U. S. Supreme Court will issue an order to Porter County to stop counting ballots, as they did in 2000 when they ordered Florida to stop and in effect declared George W. Bush president. No matter that they did continue to count, and the final count revealed that Al Gore in fact had won Florida. But by then, Gore had conceded in order to avoid the kind of constitutional crisis that our current president seems hellbent on creating with the firing of Jeff Sessions and the appointment of a Trump lap dog as acting AG.
Your vote in Porter County for Joe Donnelly “didn’t count”? There weren’t enough “Joe Donnelly” votes in Porter County to make up for the butt-whipping Mike Braun put on him. More liberal crying.
