He's not thinking or praying hard enough. And, extra lazy cause this was a God school. Maybe a drag queen drove by? Or, maybe someone read a book with a gay person in it? Hard to tell but they obviously had it coming.

My thought is that these republicans need to pray that God opens their eyes to how idiotic their ideas about guns are.

It's almost word for word in how every last one of these insane people respond. Cookie cutter template. 

I can guarantee you the actual first thing they thought was not heart break for the children and their families and their communities but more 'damn another lost opportunity, wish a good guy with gun had taken out the perp and not the police so we could own these Wokesters. Maybe next time'.

The governor of Tennessee called for prayers without mentioning the mass shooting, so as to not offend the gun-nuts. However, Marjorie Taylor-Green had a pithy suggestion:

Marjorie Taylor Greene Wants Biden To Give Up Secret Service Protection After Nashville School Shooting

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) called President Biden a fool and demanded that his Secret Service protection be given up after the Nashville school shooting.

Rep. Greene’s solution to the nation’s epidemic of mass shootings is to give even more people easier access to guns. Greene attacked Biden for the existence of gun-free school zones because if there is one policy move that would definitely increase gun violence at schools it would be to end the gun-free school zone designation.

How does taking away Biden’s Secret Service protection prevent mass shootings?

It doesn’t, but it does create a distraction to take away from the record that Greene and Republicans have of making it easier for mass shooters to kill more people through increasing the availability of deadly firearms to all.

It's just incredible how the dumbest of dumb and taken hold of American politics, MTG makes trailer park trash seem like Rhodes Scholars. and she wants to be VP on Trumps ticket. As @JCon has stated many a time, build that wall.

voters as well

 

Some Uvalde families spent their days and nights over the past several months rallying, marching, tweeting, camping out and protesting in the hope that their fellow Texans would hear their cries for gun reform and vote for Democrat Beto O'Rourke for Texas governor.

But Tuesday's election showed their actions in their community weren't loud enough: Republican Gov. Greg Abbott garnered more than 60% of the vote in Uvalde County and is projected to win the race and be reelected as governor.

 

American citizens seem to be trapped.

Canadian schools have multiple doors and we watch the same tv and movies, listen to the same music and play the same video games. Canada does not have the same issue with school shootings. Only difference is gun axis. Of course, mention this to many americans and they'd likely deflect and call you a devil worshiping, pedo, commie sob

I was told that Trudeau was Hitler and we lived in a communist state when I suggested not giving the problem (people) guns. 

Hitler and communism both in Canada at the same time. What a time to be alive!

Mike Pence and his ill fated journey to be POTUS is done as soon as he shows up to be questioned about 1/6.

No person needs to own a gun that does that much damage to a person especially children, it is a killing machine and the only thing you hunt with this waepon are people.

This tragedy, and the apathetic response by many US voters underscores yet again the utter and enduring fanatical insanity that is endemic there and will inevitably doom them. All we can do is hope that we will not be collateral damage.

Apparently Republicans in Congress have done nothing re guns in America and are all out of idea, as one Congressman from Tennessee says we are not going to fix it, criminals are criminals. These are the kind of politicians that should not be in politics.

Pence's chance to become the Republican nominee for POTUS was slim to none, once his testimony is leaked and Trumps starts railing against him, it's over for him.

[bustamente]

Tim Burchett is a Congressman who says there is nothing they can do, he also has a young school age child. Doesn't he fear his child may be murdered in school? That would be a big fat no, why? They home school their child

Elise Stefanik promised Trump an 'aggressive' House GOP response to Alvin Bragg: CNN

A new CNN report details secret back channel talks between House Republicans and Donald Trump in which the former president exerts pressure on his congressional allies to do his bidding.

According to CNN's sources, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) has emerged as House Republicans' point person for keeping Trump informed of their assorted investigations, and she recently promised the former president that the caucus would offer an "aggressive" response to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's potential indictment of him for his 2016 hush-money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels.

[bustamente]

Alvin Bragg is the least of Trump's problems, the incoming rape trial will drag him thru the mud, Georgia DA on the finding of the grand jury will probably indict him, Special Counsel Smith is moving along, and Garland is taking a nap which Trump probably likes.

Idaho Is About To Become The First State To Restrict Interstate Travel For Abortion
 

-GETTY
Idaho already has some of the most extreme abortion restrictions on the books, with nearly all abortions banned in the state and an affirmative defense law that essentially asserts any doctor who provides an abortion is guilty until proven innocent. And now Idaho Republicans have set their sights on hindering certain residents from traveling out of state to get an abortion.

House Bill 242, which passed through the state House and is likely to move quickly through the Senate, seeks to limit minors’ ability to travel for abortion care without parental consent. The legislation would create a whole new crime — dubbed “abortion trafficking” — which is defined in the bill as an “adult who, with the intent to conceal an abortion from the parents or guardian of a pregnant, unemancipated minor, either procures an abortion … or obtains an abortion-inducing drug” for the minor. “Recruiting, harboring, or transporting the pregnant minor within this state commits the crime of abortion trafficking,” the legislation adds.

Abortion trafficking would be a felony, and those found guilty would face two to five years in prison. The legislation also includes a statute allowing the Idaho attorney general to supersede any local prosecutor’s decision, pre-emptively thwarting any prosecutor who vows not to enforce such an extreme law.

Since the bill would criminalize anyone transporting a pregnant minor within the state to get an abortion or to obtain medication abortion, it could apply to an aunt who drives a pregnant minor to the post office to pick up a package that includes abortion pills. Or it could target an older sibling who drives a pregnant minor to a friend’s house to self-manage an abortion at home. Either violation would carry a minimum sentence of two years in prison.
