What if we

Not waste Tax Money, ($400 million that will Certainly double by end), on a BallRoom for the wealthiest in the world, that pay no taxes, and just “Send Thoughts and Prayers” for those traumatized by gun violence at the rich people Party Saturday.
It will cost us Nothing and make us feel good about guns and shooters and encourage God’s protection.
That has always worked for citizens that face this shit daily.
Thoughts and Prayers and let all the GQP gun cash benefactor politicians go through Gun Shootin drills on the Capital a few times a week.
That has saved so many lives for tax paying citizens, should be the same prescription for those that should make laws to protect us from non stop gun deaths.
I will keep my Particular “Thoughts and Prayer's” to myself. Maybe spell it out with sea shells by the sea shore.

The ultra wealthy should get the same treatment they give elementary and high school students - a bulletproof backpack and some thoughts and prayers. Want to sit down and have an actual adult discussion about America's gun violence addiction without getting the 24/7 cable news outrage machine involved? Then we'll talk. Until then, go shove that bullshit ballroom straight up your ass, Donny.
