    The Texas AG said the same thing.

    I can hardly wait to see how the gun apologists play this.

    We will soon find out.  The NRA is holding it's big annual meeting in Houston this Friday.  The keynote speaker is Donald Trump.  Texas' Governor Abbott and Ted Cruz will also speak.  I bet they open with a prayer for the victims of today's shooting.

    Say's a failed DZ Manager and TM at a tiny DZ, who has as their defining credential the ability to wear the same color clothes as everyone else and sleep where they are told on demand. Thanks for the news and, even more, the affirmation of your uncontrollable need to convey it. There is a term for it, if you are interested.

    And that term is?

    At the same time there is new video of family values representative Cawthorn humping some dude's face naked.

    Not sure how to describe US politics anymore.

    Revelatory

    I agree with the above, for the most part. Concommitantly, I believe we will be about 50 years into the millennium with Jesus the Christ on the throne in Jerusalem.

    How did you calculate that timeline?

    But what about captured Russians? Can they declare them as dependents?

    ...or at least depreciating assets!

    Hi folks,

    Mitch McConnell takes another swipe at Trump:  “It was a violent insurrection for the purpose of trying to prevent the peaceful transfer of power after a legitimately certified election from one administration to the next,”

    McConnell rebukes RNC for calling Jan. 6 ‘legitimate political discourse,’ censuring Cheney and Kinzinger - oregonlive.com

    He's still an asshole.

    I find it truly baffling that so few Republican pols have the balls to stand up to Trump and his lies.

    They all KNOW that he's a lying con-man but very few are willing to say as much.

    I think we are witnessing what it was like at the beginning of some of the tyrannical regimes of the 20th Century.  You say they lack the balls to stand up.  I say they know what is happening and don't want to miss out.  It looks (for now) like they failed.

    Wendy suggested if the NRA were to be taken over by minorities the US could enact a gun ban.  She apparently believes that minorities are anti gun.  I attached those two links to disabuse her of that notion.

    I think she was trying to be funny.

    ....BTW I have nothing against EVs per se, if they can win in the free market, without government support, I am all for them.

    Then why not shut up and let the free market judge the outcome?

    "...The draft executive order shows that the weeks between Election Day and the Capitol attack could have been even more chaotic than they were. It credulously cites conspiracy theories about election fraud in Georgia and Michigan, as well as debunked notions about Dominion voting machines.

    The order empowers the defense secretary to “seize, collect, retain and analyze all machines, equipment, electronically stored information, and material records required for retention under” a U.S. law that relates to preservation of election records. It also cites a lawsuit filed in 2017 against Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.

    Additionally, the draft order would have given the defense secretary 60 days to write an assessment of the 2020 election. That suggests it could have been a gambit to keep Trump in power until at least mid-February of 2021..."

     

    National Guard troops seizing voting machines would not have been a good look for the USA.
