It's nice to see some Democrats grow some balls finally. And I'm saying that as a Democrat.

I look forward to an even longer filibuster when republicans fuck it all up. Woooooo.
I believe (but am not sure) that the chair can recognize non-Senators for questions. Would be nice if the Obamas and Clinton (if she’s in town) showed up.
Where the hell is Bernie right now? If he showed up to ask a question and talk about gun control right now every network would cover it live.
Tammy Baldwin is currently telling the stories of each of the victims on the floor of the Senate and it is important but also breaking my fucking heart right now.
New campaign slogan:
I live in IL and was all ready to send a scathing email to Mark Kirk, but was shocked when I googled “Mark Kirk NRA” and saw they gave him a D or an F. Instead, I wrote him an email thanking him for standing alone and urging him to convince his Republican colleagues to join him. I really hope he speaks during this…
Democrats like gay money. First, there’s a lot of it. And second, it’s usually got glitter on it somewhere.
I don’t think that really sticks to Chris Murphy. Dude was BROKEN by Sandy Hook and has more cred on this issue than just about anyone else in politics.
I get the same sense. I think to some degree it’s a function of the victims. After Sandy Hook, it almost felt too difficult to breathe, but the gay community is an engaged, intelligent, politically active community that has already been through every imaginable tragedy and has heard it all before. Gay people didn’t…
It’s fucking hilarious that you dumb hicks start whining about the watch list now that there’s a possibility of white supremacists ending up on it because people are finally sick and tired of your bullshit.
I had a conversation with a pro 2nd amendment friend of mine whom I know has serious mental health issues (we were in therapy together for years and became quite close friends) and she was devastated that I don’t think she should be allowed t own her many many firearms. I didn’t want to hurt or alienate someone I’ve…
Same. I also donate to Planned Parenthood every time the GOP cuts funding or restricts access to safe & legal abortions. At this rate, I will never be able to afford new summer clothes :/
I might cry every time they talk about people with mental illness being able to seek needed treatment. I never feel like anyone gives a shit about people with mental health issues and it gives me EMOTIONS, GUYS.
FINALLY the Democrats are starting to show some balls on this issue.
This time, we can affirmatively point at all the Senate Republicans (with the exception of Sen Kirk) and say that it is their fault the Orlando shooter was able to buy an assault rifle because of their December vote to NOT close the suspected terrorist loophole. The death of 49 people is their fault.
this brings me hope in a time where I have none. Thank you.
There are already tons of rapists/murderers/domestic abusers out there...what’s the use making these crimes illegal?
I don’t know, co-worker I’ve never met, maybe it would stop a guy from buying a bunch of them and then murdering 50 people in a night club two fucking days later?
I presume Roryisalion is either soneone who’s had some issues perpetrating Domestic Violence, loves the MRA lifestyle, or is a fan that has some kind of psychic emotional connection to Depp. ;)
