Report: Why GOP Won’t Do Anything About Domestic Tuckerism, er, Terrorism

The information in this post is stuff the public needs to understand. But the last short video with the 13 year old blew my mind. I hope everyone will watch that video and share it as TG has in this post. This is the twisted reality we are living in. No thinking person can justify this. Yet craven politicians legally bribed to allow it and ignore it for business profits somehow do. Hugs

Republicans grooming the next generation of domestic terrorists?

The dead kids and dead teachers in Uvalde were failed at every level: from Texas Senators to Governor Gregg Abbott to the local police, and we should call out every attempt to distract from that responsibility and name and shame the bad faith actors.

Maybe it’s Fox News, Stupid?

Or maybe it’s just being paid off by the gun lobby itself:

They missed …

Hello Ten Bears. I thank you for the link and I strongly suggest everyone go to the page at the link. It gives the information known so far about the shooting in an easy-to-read short manner. I am stunned at how much weaponry and ammo the guy had. I still don’t know why he crashed his truck, but that seems to have stopped a lot of carnage as he couldn’t carry all the weapons / ammo with him on foot. As he is dead, I wonder if we will ever know what set him off, but we do know that if he had not had those weapons there wouldn’t be 19 dead kids, two dead teachers, and a lot more injured fighting for their lives in the hospitals. Hugs
