Q: How many NRA members does it take to change a light bulb?A: More guns

Geraldo just got booed down at CPAC for suggesting raising the legal age for purchasing guns from 18 to 21. It seems like Republicans under Trump have basically become a full-blown fascist movement now. Largely driven by young people as you'd expect. They'll fight tooth and nail to avoid doing anything that sounds like something a liberal might approve of. They'd happily dump nuclear waste into the water supply if it made liberals angry.I didn't think I had any room for any more reasons to despise Trump, but now he's blaming violent video games for school shootings like it's 1990 all over again, so yup there's another one haha wheee

Look, he's just trying to turn the school=to=prison pipeline into a radical halfpipe

5 million NRA members, 30 million in political contributions. am i missing something? thats not enough money or people to tip any other political scale, is it? i mean couldn't bloomberg alone counteract that money? we can't get 10 million moms with laser pointers to freak wayne lapierre the fuck out?

Yeah, 50% seems pretty ridiculous.It's probably more like 40%.

By the way, I was trying to figure out who Wayne LaPierre reminded me of, then it clicked:

Rasmussen Reports? For real?

Latest Rasmussen poll now has him with over 50% approval, congratulations America.That poll cannot be correct unless it's polling his base. I mean, I believe America is pretty fucked up, but we're not 50% fucked up in that way.

Rasmussen is the only polling agency to have him over 45%, and the vast majority of them have him near the upper 30s. Of course, the right-wing media is running with this, with headlines abound saying he has a higher approval rating than Obama had at the same time, despite them cherry picking the best poll result for Trump and the worst for Obama.https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/tr ... l-ratings/

Yes, 538 graph is plotting an upward trend line. Unbelievable. Wonder how it feels to be school resource deputy Scot Peterson right now, being repeatedly attacked by President Bone Spurs for his cowardice. œI really believe I d run in there even if I didn t have a weapon" says the man who cowered from an unarmed protester when he was campaigning.And you know what? I believe him. I completely believe that he does really believe that. He's a true hypothetical hero.
