[EX Q]: Comment: Not really. We'd then have to endure an onslaught of woolly headed, sanctimonious lectures from our prostrate government if anyone spoke negatively of it.

[EX Q]: Comment: Dear NRA; Exactly how do you feel about people with mental health issues owning guns , people with repeat issues with spousal abuse owning guns and people with carry permits killed by police getting away with murder?
All issues in this weeks news, does anyone know what they are saying? Saying sad or it's a small statistic IS sad.
I own guns, hunt with them, but do not want to have family or friends killed by a 2 nd amendment abuser.
Fire away lads.

[EX Q]: Comment: '
…how quaint.   …and naive.

The rule of law is something Trump has plans to subvert.

Republicans hold a majority and show little or no responsibility to tamp down even the worst of Trump's fascist impulses.

...good luck with that.

Me, I'm going to speak up now, and keep standing against even the barest hint from those who would bring total fascism to fruition if given the chance.

Make no mistake, Trump styles himself as a glorified, (in his eyes), tin pot dictator.

And his white nationalist neoNazi minder has worse plans in store.
