Can anyone else see comments on trumps last 2 tweets? Weirdly I couldn't, but then I reloaded and they are showing up for the last one but not the president day one. 🤔🤔🤔

Partial CP.AC lineup below (continues on 2nd tweet). I can't decide which is more WTF:Don McGahn or Gary Johnson.

One of my Facebook friends who is an evangelical Christian youth pastor in Kentucky, who I've always assumed is conservative, "came out" against the 2nd amendment this week on Facebook. People are coming for him HARD and he is not only standing his ground, he is giving really thoughtful, complete responses, even when people say "go live somewhere else then!" He's posting daily about it. He's given me hope this week.

The answer is, you don’t.” I was shocked

That experience was more than enough to tell me that no one civilian needs that kind of power “for fun” and to swear me off guns completely.

Hi everyone. I’ve been missing you guys and lurking here. I am so upset at everything lately, but doing what I can to call my reps, donate to candidates who are not in the NRA pocket, and try to make any kind of difference no matter how small. I’ve been feeling so defeated lately, but I want better for my son and every other child in this country so I keep pushing. Anyway, I didn’t want to keep lurking without saying hi. Oh, this is the poster formerly known as martini, by the way. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Regarding guns, I think one of the hardest things for me is when people like Steve Scalise still oppose gun control laws. For me, personally, one of my first clinical experiences in nursing school was caring for a man who had been shot. That day is kind of burned in my memory and I used to say that everyone who opposes gun control needs to spend a day observing that kind of care. But hearing a congressman who has been shot- who has had to experience that pain and fear to the point that he dragged himself across a dusty field to safety- say he doesn’t believe guns should be limited tells me my idea wouldn’t make the slightest difference.

I looked at this earlier and raged out over John fucking Katko. It was straight party line votes for me, which is also rage inducing. I have been embarrassingly ignorant about gun laws and what they've tried to pass, but reading these recent ones that have failed....are you fucking kidding me? Like I get you are a piece of shit, but do you not worry about karma?! I would be terrified that if I voted against these things, someone in my family would be shot by someone who didn't have to go through a background check and got a gun at a gun show.

Interesting thread comparing the NRA to the automobile/alcohol industries. Brings up the second amendment too.

The difference is that you have a soul and aren’t a narcissist. For someone to repeatedly vote down sensible gun control, and even vote for looser laws after Sandy Hook has no soul. And anyone walking around thinking there’s no way it could happen to their family is delusional or narcissistic.

Trump probably figures Mitt will fall in line like the rest of the GOP.

Someone in my local Action group (aka the former Pantsuit Nation) posted the stack of checks for the donation of “thoughts and prayers” that she is sending out to all Senators and Reps who get NRA donations 😂😂
