5.26-27 Open Threads
19 innocent kids, 2 devoted schoolteachers, 1 nutcase 18 y.o. who could legally prance in and buy himself an assault, yes, a weapon purposely designed to cause mass human death, rifle….it just boggles the mind of any decent human being. But, that’s what happened in Texas this week. Just another mass slaughter in the “good” ole U.S.A. Will anything change? Probably not! Sad, just sickening and sad. In better news, I’m glad to see that Jessica Cisneros is not giving an inch in her primary challenge in….Texas. So, our Nest is Open and ready for action. Have at it, my friends. 🙂
Thanks orl
Well at least there’s Senate debate somewhere.

No sh1t, sherlock!
As much as I abhor violence, Sinema needs to be shot with a shit gun.
Or, better yet, hit with a well funded primary challenge, by a very progressive opponent. Who will rub her face right in it all.
Bernie will have a field day, Graham will need to see a chiropractor after all the flip flopping he’s going to have to do. This will be like a Jedi master against a storm trooper
It will be Spock against a turd.
I’d bet on the Turd v Graham 🙂
The police are a government sanctioned band of roving right wing thugs. And like all thugs they fold in the face of any kind of resistance all all. Remember when the parading Nazis wilted, when confronted by counter protesting school girls? There’s a major lesson in here. Somewhere.
Ted Cruz Storms Out on British Interviewer When Asked Why School Shootings Only Happen in America
Cruz was attending a vigil for the victims of the Robb Elementary School shooting when he was grilled by Sky News reporter Mark Stone about overhauling gun laws in the U.S. The senator began by dismissing calls for reform by saying “It’s easy to go to politics.” He added: “The proposals the Democrats have? None of them would have stopped this.” (Cruz had earlier called to “harden schools” by fitting in new bulletproof glass and only having “one door into and out of the school” during a Fox News interview.)
But when Stone asked why there was an “American exceptionalism” when it comes to mass shootings, Cruz decided to wrap things up in a hurry. “I’m sorry you think American exceptionalism is awful,” he said, patting the reporter on the chest, adding: “You know what? You’ve got your political agenda, God love you,” before walking away from the TV crew.
Stone went after Cruz, saying he “can’t answer” why mass shootings are a uniquely American problem. Visibly angry, Cruz replied:
Stop being a propagandist,” before heading for the exit once again.
Cancun Cruz should look at this chart by the Humam Freedom Index. The top countries have one thing in common 🙂
I wonder how a single door would affect things like, oh, I don’t know, fire evacuation? Or, maybe, clearing the place out because there’s an active shooter???
These people aren’t even remotely making sense anymore. It’s as if they have some sort of plan to retain office despite the will of the voters.
Please pardon the sarcasm, but it’s what I can muster right now.
Probably the only time I agree with that RW bitch!
That agreement with her is on pace of Haleys comet appearance.

Sounds like a FUBAR by the police, all the money they spend on military hardware was totally useless. Someday they’ll shoot a parent trying to go in on one of these situations. Maybe the parent will have his CC and do the polices job for them.
Thats pretty damn smart for her, i wonder if her parents coached her on that? Thankfully she’s alive.
She comes from corporate. Nuff said.
The Turtle; “This time it will be different on gun legislation Chuck”
The NRA is a shell of its former self, the nuttier members dream of the day that the “Purge” movie series would become law.
