When the con artist was shot at MAGA reacted like it was the biggest event ever and talked about it for months on end

When school children are shot at, it's nothing but crickets.

Pathetic.

Hatred, anger, money, criminals, power are the only things they value.

However, I have not seen any reputable reporting that the shooter was using them (tho it's possible I missed something)

add all the guns anyone could want, and the result of that equation is more death. Period.

Two inches might be quite the overestimate, however.

Now it’s a few days.


There used to be calls to shut down the Gungeon.

Now DUers are advocating in GD that others get guns.

comparing the MAGAt church shooting reaction to their Cracker Barrel logo reaction. The MAGAt next door promptly shamed and de-friended my girlfriend. The MAGAt said that making a joke when we're all still grieving was unforgivable, thoughts and prayers, blah, blah, blah. That MAGAt didn't see that it wasn't a joke.

This whole episode was a wake up call for me. The time for holding back on MAGAts is long past, even if they live right next door. It's time for me to respond to them with the furry they've earned.

I got rid of most of my Republican family, friends and acquaintances, during the Cheney/Rumsfeld years, when they first started showing their ignorance and ugliness........

The remaining few, I flushed down the toilet starting with the Trump years......

Don't miss a single one, although many were life time family/friends....... It's like they all went out and got lobotomies.....

A new "KAREN" moved in to our neighborhood with his wife, and after an "incident" with him, I don't even look his way or say hi.....

screw them all....

Their lives are making ours un-bearable, and they don't have the sense/intelligence to realize that THEY TOO, are getting screwed also.....
and they continue, full steam ahead, as we approach the point of no return..........

Whine as loud as you can and put on a spectacle when your agenda is shaken up even a little. They didn't get festered about the shootings because of the damage it might cause their Guns Almighty lifestyle. Trump, of course, is the king of all maga. And unfortunately, they've got their propaganda network Fox to do their bidding. That helps them.
