When will we ever grow tired of this and the NRA-owned GOP?

It's not my country and maybe our neighbours to the south will tell me to shut up and mind my own business. But I have to say this:

* Praying is meaningless. Voting for candidates who will act to implement gun control might be a thought, though.

* Citizens of many countries watch the same shows, play the same games, listen to the same music. And yet, we're not blowing one another away on the daily.

* It's the guns. It's not the "troubling times." It's the guns.

In his defense, American cops are really good at murdering unarmed citizens or listening to the dying screams of children while cowering in a hallway for an hour.

Donald Trump has to pay his own wife to speak at his rallies.

Yes, that was not a typo.

Mr. Biden is the same age as Harrison Ford, Paul McCartney and Martin Scorsese. He’s also a bit younger than Jane Fonda (86) and a lot younger than the Berkshire Hathaway C.E.O., Warren Buffett (93). All these individuals are considered to be at the top of their professions, and yet I would not be surprised if they are more forgetful and absent-minded than when they were younger. In other words, an individual’s age does not say anything definitive about the person’s cognitive status or where it will head in the near future. — Dr Charan Ranganath #quotes #quote #Biden #age #Leadership #Competence #Unity #uspolitics #politics

@SpiderMan
Democrats appreciate how important it is to stop 21st century's Hitler, Putin, so they compromised tons in order to put a Republican border bill together with aid for our allies, but that wasn't good enough for them since Putin didn't approve.

At least, if we have to wait until next Congress for a new law to address our crisis at our borders then now we'll be able to provide citizenship for Dreamers too along with other compassionate policies we want to add.

@Incognitim I truly cannot understand this: feels like I’m a Twilight Zone episode. People pretending like blatant lies that potentially upset the world order are fine from one presidential candidate, while a clearly trivial transgression from the other is a national issue.

I’m increasingly reverting to my original opinion of people.

@Nonilex

Every mention of this story should include the fact that the House Republicans, who are pretending to care about border security, are simultaneously refusing to vote for border security.
