Rick Scott, governor of Florida MUST be electorally crushed. He never saw an NRA sponsored policy he did not like! He is a HYPOCRITE

Thoughts and prayers do exactly what? We have had 18 school shootings for this month alone
​ and ​
that does not take into account the other killings from Boston to LA that do not take place in schools but kill
​thousands of ​
people nonetheless.

Rick Scott and the President who the NRA gave a 100% approval rating will say blather that means nothing. Both could not care less
​about the victims of the shooting ​
but they do care about the contributions that the NRA gives those in the Republican Party 
​to​
place an obstacle to enacting sane gun legislation.

Trump speaking now
​but ​
his words are empty because he kisses the NRA's posterior. Who are Scott and Trump kidding? They offer
​no ​
remedies to the problem. They 
​are​
the problem! No one needs an AK 17 with unlimited gun clips unless they are going to war. Will 
​Trump and Scott​
advocate
​to eliminate these weapons​
? What do you think?
​ Trump overruled the Obama era regulation that prohibited those deemed mentally ill to not be able to purchase weapons.  How utterly insane is that?​


RESIST and over throw through the ballot the Republican Party in the Congress, the Presidency, in the state houses and in the governors
​'​
office
​s​
.
​ It is only then that the "conversation" they speak endlessly of ​can take place and the fruits of sane gun control can make a difference.

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!!

Democratic Presidential Convention--On to November

  I watched the Democratic convention last evening until my body's demand for sleep overtook me around midnight.  Having followed thin...
