The Twelfth of Never -- the Parkland, Florida massacre of children

My first inclination is to throw my arms up and say I give up. The nation is 1/2 insane and unless we elect Democrats yes Democrats as they are the only party that can offer a smidgen of hope to undo all these horrific Trump era policies overturning all that has shaped this nation into something civilized. Why in god's name is he -- this know nothing nincompoop crackpot -- voted into the most powerful position on earth where he will put those others in positions of great power to undo all the progressive change that protects all of us even them?

Trump does not care nor do those who he entrusts with power. They care about themselves, their money and that they take it all -- ALL of it. That's it. Does the NRA now give one iota of empathy and tears for the thousands who have lost their lives -- many children -- to gun violence? No one but no one needs an assault rifle nor be allowed to purchase so many bullet clips for it they could take out a military platoon.

No, they are taking out children, teenagers and innocent Americans who left home with a backpack, books, and pencils to go to school but end up dead. Thoughts and prayers will do nothing as evidenced by the continuation of the shooting.  Those in bed with the NRA are a cancer on this nation. This will keep happening again and again of that one can be sure. How much longer will the people allow this to go on with no remedy? As the song says to the twelfth of never.

Our scourge of gun violence will never be addressed until those with humanitarian purposes grab power! Get these Republican beasts out of office. The answer may seem pedestrian but VOTE and RESIST!!
