[The Washington Post] How many guns will it take to make us safe?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/05/10/how-many-guns-violence-shootings/

65 (2023)- This story, they lay it out in print at the beginning, “65 million years ago a transport expedition full of human looking people runs into calamity and they end up crash landing on an uncharted planet labeled as Earth”. Adventures ensue…you might also remember that 65m years ago in Earth history, a significant event takes place.
Bottom line, I found this story to be border line boring and forgettable. Theres nothing that stands out worth remembering.

THE NATIONAL CURRENT
Well, the White Christian President got hit with 37 counts of federal crime this week, which, as counts of federal crime go, seems to me like a lot of federal crimes—for a presidential candidate, anyway.
What did he do? Oh boy!

William Barr says Trump may be ‘toast’ after ‘very damning’ indictment https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/11/trump-indictment-william-barr?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon
@ArtSmart
Short memories goes a long way in today’s GOP. 🤔
@GottaLaff @emptywheel Born in Thump’s image, disinformation plays a prominent role in the heads of #MAGgots(MAGA) and fascism. It’s the only way, they can make their world work for them. Honest arguments? No way Jose, that’s too hard. Even if these people recognize the lies, they are in on the scheme, it’s for their personal perceived good so democracy is overrated and the end justifies the means, any means. 😳

Via @emptywheel:
Great. Jimmy J just made himself a witness.
Jordan Weissmann:
#JimJordan is on CNN claiming that #Trump declassified the information even though Trump said on tape he didn’t.

Former Atty General #WilliamBarr speaking to #FOX about #TrumpIndictment, “If even half of it is true, he’s toast”
Barr says the indictment alleges “very egregious obstruction” and adds “this whole thing came about because of reckless conduct” by #Trump 🤔

@Huntn00 The misadventure in Iraq cost US about $2 trillion by some estimates. One cannot put a price on the lives of hundreds of thousands of people lost, the loss to humanity of archaeological sites and artifacts of human history.
I can't help but feel a bit emotional when I remember how I and many others tried to prevent it. We were helpless to do so. 😔

@Huntn00 Not sure if the war would still be going on if trump were in charge. I believe he would have betrayed Ukraine at the outset to gain favor with Putin.
@Badger_AF it goes something like this: Children are the sacrificial lambs, at least immigrant types, (not the kids we care about personally) for the glory of the Party and the special values we reserve for ourselves. But you know working at slave wages in dangerous environments gives them backbone to survive the ordeals God will put them through with us calling the shots…🤔

Curious why Moms for Liberty refuses to take up arms against legislation in red states allowing underage marriages or allowing children as young as 11 to work in meat-packing plants—situations where children are either sexualized or put into dangerous situations.

@Barbramon1 And Thump by gawd with his Putin adoration, self centered nature, inability to make friends with European allied leaders, and throwing US Intel under the bus, almost got us figuratively ejected from NATO. Maybe we were (under Trump)? 🤔 I can’t imagine Trump today functioning as POTUS during the Ukraine Russian war.

My signing of the Respect for Marriage Act was the culmination of decades of sacrifice, advocacy, and struggle from generations of heroes who fought to live their truth, so that so many others could live theirs.
But challenges remain.
Now, Congress must pass the Equality Act.
@Barbramon1 Vietnam was supposed to have taught us a lesson. For Desert Storm under Bush Sr it seemed like we had learned it. Then Dubya came along and all was forgotten as IQs suddenly plummeted, a grandiose NeoCon scheme to turn a profit invading Iraq, based on fabricated intel, thank you Dick among others. Plus the long term occupation of Afghanistan, never mind the 9-11 hijackers were Saudis.
