#FridayFeeling Another school shooting. Another round of “thoughts and prayers”. “Mental illness”. “Too soon to talk about gun control” “arm the teachers”. Next mass shooting. Rinse and repeat. Fuck this. I wrote this in 2015 facebook.com/walter.broadna…. Still applies. (1)
But it won’t matter. The carnage will continue. @realDonaldTrump will offer some half-assed non empathetic statement written by one of his Alt-right staffers. @mike_pence will look “earnest” while lying. And the @NRA? gunrunner @OliverNorthNRA will call the victims terrorists
Looking for courageous action among the GOP? @SpeakerRyan? @marcorubio? @tedcruz? All taking @NRA (Russian Oligarchs) money. Don’t count on it.
You think the NRA gives a damn? Heh. Domestic terror Barbie and the #StepNFetchIt@NRA negro has already prepared a fundraising film. Wonder if @KillerMike will star in this one too? (4)
New Pres @OliverNorthNRA? The notorious gunrunner in the #IranContra affair? He calls the nra a “civil rights” organization. They don’t give a damn about the carnage, as long as they keep the Russian money flowing.
Finally, the so-called “responsible” gun owner. Tell me mr/mrs/ms gun owner. HOW do you tell a “good guy with a gun” from a “bad guy” with a gun? Wait for the killing? Body count? How do you know? Really? (6)
America here is your choice. You can continue to support NRA owned pols who will give you thoughts & prayers, mental health etc. Or we can collectively get off our asses and take America back from these domestic terrorist supporting NRA funded gop politicians #VotingMatters (end)

The Republican Party can NEVER AGAIN claim to be the party of patriotism, national security, fiscal responsibility, family values, morality, or American leadership on the world stage. (1)
Patriotism: @realDonaldTrump’s disgusting display of deference and subservience to @KremlinRussia_E Putin, combined with the myriad of @GOP senators prostrating themselves (on July 4th, no less) to Putin was a shameful display of treasonous behavior. (2)
.@AshleyRParker. I disagree. There is no actual or perceived benefit in having #AxisSally@PressSec lie before reporters/tv audience. She lies nonstop and the majority of the @whca won’t push back. Even if they do, she doesn’t care. The lie gets broadcast. @KatyTurNBC (1)
The WH cadre of liars main goal is to introduce the lie into the narrative, knowing full well the lie will be amplified by @foxnews and @WeAreSinclair. If no one confronts the liar @presssec in “real time”, the lie gets out. (2)
In an ideal world all the journalists in the @whca would band together for one day pre press conference, decide on a topic for questions, and hammer her relentlessly to get a truthful answer. But the press values competition, and access over duty. (3)
On Syria: If there were a serious effort from this administration to stop Assad, strict financial sanctions should be placed on him AND Putin. Shut their access to their finances worldwide. Anything outside of Syria/Russia should be seized. Ban their oil worldwide @AliVelshi
Syria must be punished for gassing their population. But a telegraphed ignorant tweet from a man-baby blustering about missiles isn’t the answer. Coward #Chickenhawk@realDonaldTrump is making the situation worse.
Until the financial capability of Assad AND Putin are sanctioned, this uncontrolled criminal act will continue. @KremlinRussia_E must be sanctioned severely because he FUNDS Assad’s chemical warfare buzzfeed.com/alexcampbell/k…
