This issue of access is so sad and disgusting to me. I understand it but it’s insane the degree that we allow elected officials (public servants) feel free to duck out on people. Devin Nunes hasn’t met in a public setting (unpaid, non-fundraiser event) with his constituents in two years and solely appears on…
I also liked this one:
I wish someone would sit this blithering idiot down and tell him that the Second Amendment only protects the right to bear arms.
This idiocy was playing while I was at the gym this morning.
Conservative parent to teacher: I don’t trust you to teach sex ed, modern history or anything remotely political to my son or daughter ... but it’s on you to kill or die for my children in a firefight.
It is so painfully fucking sad that this is one of the first times that I can recall seeing a politician actually held to account and forced to answer questions rather than dance around them—granted he still danced, but at least he was made to sweat about it.
It’s actually pretty funny how, in the repeated use of the word “brave”, they’re ADMITTING that the kids are correct, and on the right side of history, and are in the right. He’s getting credit for standing on the wrong side & doubling down on his wrongness.
I heard several TV news people mention how brave Rubio was just for showing up (as well as Trump’s “bravery” for sitting and paying zero attention to the parents and students of Parkland) and the whole thing made me sick to my stomach. Rubio went to that “town hall” expecting to spin a few double-speak talking points,…
YES. Jesus Fucking Christ, this is not difficult. If you want to make a private sale, you MUST legally go to a third party with the capability to do a documented background check first. No behind the curtain sales at gun shows, anymore.
I’m surprised Rubio agreed to do this. And yet... was he not prepared to do this? Did no one in his camp run through the worst possible questions for him? Personally I would have asked, “Senator Rubio, do you think pornography is more a public safety threat than sensible gun laws?”
Mediocre funding? They spent 30 million in the last election.
Absolutely loved this. Whether he realized it or not, that kid was perfect here- he held Rubio’s feet to the fire, kept re-asking the question so that Rubio couldn’t just keep trying to talk around the issue the way he so desperately tried to, but kept letting Rubio try- so the crowd could continue seeing him try and…
Wrong
Today, drunk driving deaths are down drastically. And, you know why they are down drastically? It’s so simple - the only way to prevent deaths from drunk drivers is of course, demanding more drunk drivers.
If he is gay he’s the most self-hating person I’ve ever seen.
First of all, everything makes conservatives feel threatened. It’s what they do.
I’ll bet his review of the Bible was just devastating.
Thank you, excellent. Possibly even more than one of these kids may have a case before it’s all said and done?
