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.

Oh this is rich. Hey Green, GUESS WHO CALLS THE SHOTS IN THE HOUSE! Trump!

@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.
