Cameron Kasky: Now we have Rubio trying to pass some bill on daylight savings time.



Now we have Rubio trying to pass some bill on daylight savings time.

This is why we march. To remind corrupt politicians that they can’t get out of this one without making real changes.

The March is a win/win for all of us. Either they represent the people or they’re voted out.

The first words out of his mouth were disrespectful and racist. I thought "what an ill-informed, arrogant, racist little prick." I tuned him out.

That's rather harsh don't you think? Where's your sense of compassion? They're labeled survivors for a reason.

they are upperclassmen, the attack was in the Freshman building. How about the JROTC kid that CNN didn't want on, and lied about, that not only was there but also helped shield kids and teachers with kevlar mats? He wasn't there because he wanted to ask his questions, not what CNN wanted to ask. The kid CNN was smearing because he doesn't agree with more gun control is a survivor. These three are called survivors for propaganda.

The killer is Hispanic, so is Rubio. Kaskey said

KASKY: I’m sorry, I know I’m not supposed to do this, but I’m not going to listen to that. Senator Rubio, it’s hard to look at you and not look down a barrel of an AR-15 and not look at Nicholas Cruz, but the point is you’re here and there some people who are not.And I need to ask two things of you. Number one, Chris Grady, can you stand up? This is my friend who is going to the military. I need you to tell him that he’s going to live to make it to serve our country. And then we’ll get to the other one.

Imagine if one of the parents of Kate Steinle said that to a Hispanic politician (probably a Democrat) or Jorje Ramos? Would you still say they were still grieving over their daughter's murder with a stolen police gun), or call them racist?

Yes, I stand by what I said.

Oh, and Scott Isreal needs to go.

As best I can tell you haven't had an original thought in the several years I've followed you. But that's what makes you entertaining. Google is your friend, your only friend.

But for you to make the leap that linking Rubio who has taken $ millions from the gun lobby to a gun nut who used an AR15 to kill 17 people is somehow racist is just a bridge too fucking far.

The extremes that you and other denizens of the Gungeon will go to for the love of your cold hard steel placebos for a soul is just too God Damn far for real living people who live in the real world to put up with.

For fuck's sake the bastard absolutely denies any influence from the very gun lobby that helped Cruz get his AR15 and you somehow see the link of racial heritage the motivating factor in linking him to the killer?

I think they both probably ate Doritos sometime in their lives too so it sure looks like they are linked by race and race alone---not GUNZ!

Please find a rock to crawl under . . .

(fully expect to be alerted on but it's worth it, a protest without cost is just a whine)

You are projecting, and not relevant. You have yet to have a valid argument. I used Google, and you full of shit. You arguments are not intelligent, valid, nor honest. BTW

But for you to make the leap that linking Rubio who has taken $ millions from the gun lobby to a gun nut who used an AR15 to kill 17 people is somehow racist is just a bridge too fucking far.
What Kasky said was racist when he said "when I see you, I see the killer". If one of Kate Stienlie's family members said that to a Hispanic open borders fan, you would be the first to scream "racist", so don't give me your fake sanctimonious bullshit. Using your logic, an anti-gun politician votes that way only because of Bloomberg money, not based on any principle. Or, are you saying that anyone who doesn't agree with you is evil or greedy?
The "gun lobby" doesn't give "millions of dollars" to anyone. They don't even come in the top 50.

The extremes that you and other denizens of the Gungeon will go to for the love of your cold hard steel placebos for a soul is just too God Damn far for real living people who live in the real world to put up with.
There is nothing extreme about it. It is called defending the BoR against logical fallacies, fake statistics, and total bullshit.

For fuck's sake the bastard absolutely denies any influence from the very gun lobby that helped Cruz get his AR15 and you somehow see the link of racial heritage the motivating factor in linking him to the killer?
I stand what I said, he was a disrespectful racist prick.

You know why my side wins, even though it is outspent by the likes of Bloomberg 25-1? Because after the emotion wears off, people look at the likes of Bloomberg and Brady Campaign and say "these are lying sacks of shit". When all you have are demonization, logical fallacies, and fake statistics, that is what happens. Those are tactics of a demagogue. That is why gun rights groups win, and you lose.

As for your personal attack, I'm a big boy and I don't need go crying to Skinner or anyone else. Besides, I would be astounded if you didn't stoop to such vulgar pettiness. You are not entertaining, bright, nor have valid original arguments. Just another demagogue. If you alert, fine.

It’s a minor pain in the ass for vampires like me. After working for over 30 years on the graveyard shift I still sleep during the day even though I have retired.

Hated it. Finally got my seniority back (transferred in) to bump to 3-11. Couldn't get my weekends straight, then Mon night was a BEAR.

I didn’t have to deal with all the chicken shit on the other shifts plus I was the boss of my crew. We had a lot of fun but still got the job done. In fact the management once measured the productivity of the three shifts and my graveyard shift was the most productive. Perhaps that is why the management didn’t hassle me about our long breaks and other minor violations of company policy.

However getting enough sleep was always a problem. The first day back after a weekend off was always the worst.
