Thank You, Mitch, Thank You Very Much

[BertramN]

.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) just thumbed his nose at the students and parents of the victims in the mass murder at the Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Mitch is choosing to shelve gun bills, and instead focus all his attention on banking reform.

McConnell, as a Republican, is a well established lapdog of corporate America, and especially in the hip-pocket of banking COEs. Knowing it is his and the rest of the GOP’s obligation to protect crooks in the banking industry and the thieves on Wall Street, the Republican minority fought the Democrats and President Obama as they tried to prevent the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act from becoming law in 2010.

Now that they have the idiot Trump in the White House, Mitch and the rest of his Republican servants-to-the-fat-cats wants to unleash another round of shady home foreclosures, bank failures, and also, free the Wall Street criminals to once again, screw small investors at will.

Inevitably, the bill for the Republicans’ service to the fat cats and for the economic crises their conservative policies will cause will be up to the middle and lower income taxpayers to pay.

But, in his rush to hand the super-rich ever more taxpayer cash, Mitch and his merry band of GOP miscreants will further enrage a yet unknown number of millions of U.S. high school students. Students who will be eligible to vote in the 2018 mid-term elections.

Of course, Mitch sent his thoughts and prayers to the families of the dead children murdered at the Stoneman Douglas High School, it was the least he could do. And no one can dispute the fact that conservatives always do the least they can for children no longer in the womb.

But, this time Mitch is going to fuel the anger of these young voters. His old, mushy, and forgetful brain doesn’t realize, he isn’t dealing with adults with incredibly short memories when it comes gun violence, not this time.

Mitch, by completely ignoring these millions of young people, will motivate them to become even more aggressive in their efforts to bring about gun control regulations. And, since the kids are not as stupid and brainwashed as the old, white, male Republican voting base, they will see to it the Democrats take control of congress.

Because of his overwhelming need to serve the fat cats over the needs of all Americans, Democrats, liberals, and progressives nationwide all want to say, “Thank you, Mitch, thank you very much.” Due to politicians like you, the 2018 mid-terms are looking more and more promising every day.

As always, thoughtful comments are welcome. Unfortunately, the conservatives remain either unaware or will deny their individual response to this thread is their typical nonsense consisting of denial, alternate facts, and/or off-topic silliness. (e.g. non-sequiturs, ratings, transference, deflection, memes, etc.). Their mindless prattle is expected by people of reason, who also realize it is a waste of time to offer the conservatives any reply.

Do you really think more laws will make a difference? Have any laws currently in effect made a difference in these specific shooting cases?

No.

In terms of kids in whom you put your faith not being stupid and brainwashed, I must strongly differ. I am a very cross-generational person. I mix with all age groups, in both my profession and my expressions of culture, and honestly I see little evidence of your statement with the majority of those under thirty. They are in many cases articulate, passionate, and focused on their issues of choice, but in terms of substance regarding history and human nature they are dumber than that famous proverbial box o' rocks. They have neither the knowledge nor due to their protected upbringing the experience or common sense to make rational decisions concerning the weighty affairs that plague the nation.

People like you have raised a couple of generations to your liking. Be careful what you wish for.

Another anti-Civil Rights leftist speaks. (or rather, bleats)

 

[whitehall]

"We tried to get it cleared but the democrat leader objected". It seemed that democrats thumbed their noses rather than the majority republicans.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Do you really think more laws will make a difference?

Yes, of course they will. Goddamnit, grow up, people. yes, of course laws will make a difference. the honest discussion should be of the benefits versus the cost (How effective? At what cost?). It's kind of hard to have an honest, rational, adult discussion with a bunch of irrational little babies who think conceding even one iota of the opposition's point means giving in.


Seriously, this country needs to grow the fuck up.

Maybe what's needed is more pixie dust along with more or new laws. I don't care whether it's more/new laws and/or more/new something else. What's certain is that doing and channing nothing will have no impact on incidence of unlawful shootings.

Have any laws currently in effect made a difference in these specific shooting cases?

That fact that extant laws either did not or would not have "made a difference" has no bearing on what impact laws that don't exist would have or would not have had.

It's kind of hard to have an honest, rational, adult discussion with a bunch of irrational little babies who think conceding even one iota of the opposition's point means giving in.

People are sick of getting fucked playing 'just the tip'. People have seen government creep time and time again. It does no good to relent 'an iota' because an iota is never, an iota enough. The next round of legislators will want more and more concession until eventually the right will be a shadow of it's former self. Look at the Fourth Amendment and it's Exclusionary Rule for example. My God, between the Cold War, the War on Drugs and the War on Terror legislators have managed to erode it down till it is just a joke. The Fourth is not alone either. It is jut one of the worst examples of the erosion of the Bill of Rights. This is not a left right thing either. This is straight up hard core, tag team, DP shit. People are sick of it.

While that may be true to different degrees at different times, to reject any sane discussion of any adjustments to our laws using that boilerplate talking point is hamhanded and is the height of intellectual laziness.

Enforcing the ones that exist will suffice.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

"Shall not be infringed."

But it has already been made clear by the SCOTUS it does not mean, "no gun control" (see: automatic weapons, for example). So, you're going to have to do a little better.

 

[Billy_Kinetta]

It's kind of hard to have an honest, rational, adult discussion with a bunch of irrational little babies who think conceding even one iota of the opposition's point means giving in.

To force an action (either party) that will have no effect on a given circumstance is mere vanity.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Enforcing the ones that exist will suffice.

Such as?

And, before you answer: People said the EXACT SAME THING before any of those laws were put on the books. What would be your counter against their arguments, which are, ostensibly,identical to yours? Why is the EXACT set of existing laws the right set, and merely needs to be enforced?

Your stance raises a lot of questions.

thats not Trumps mindset - not even close.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

To force an action (either party) that will have no effect on a given circumstance is mere vanity.

Of course, this is false. Limiting magazines, limiting access, universal background checks, banning some or all guns, written and proficiency testing... these things would all make a difference. how can you sit there with a straight face and make the absurd claim that any of these would make NO difference? Of course they would. The correct discussion is to try to figure out how much, and then compare it to the cost.

That is "adulting".

Of course, Mitch sent his thoughts and prayers to the families of the dead children murdered at the Stoneman Douglas High School, it was the least he could do. And no one can dispute the fact that conservatives always do the least they can for children no longer in the womb.

But, this time Mitch is going to fuel the anger of these young voters. His old, mushy, and forgetful brain doesn’t realize, he isn’t dealing with adults with incredibly short memories when it comes gun violence, not this time.

Mitch, by completely ignoring these millions of young people, will motivate them to become even more aggressive in their efforts to bring about gun control regulations. And, since the kids are not as stupid and brainwashed as the old, white, male Republican voting base, they will see to it the Democrats take control of congress.

Because of his overwhelming need to serve the fat cats over the needs of all Americans, Democrats, liberals, and progressives nationwide all want to say, “Thank you, Mitch, thank you very much.” Due to politicians like you, the 2018 mid-terms are looking more and more promising every day.

As always, thoughtful comments are welcome. Unfortunately, the conservatives remain either unaware or will deny their individual response to this thread is their typical nonsense consisting of denial, alternate facts, and/or off-topic silliness. (e.g. non-sequiturs, ratings, transference, deflection, memes, etc.). Their mindless prattle is expected by people of reason, who also realize it is a waste of time to offer the conservatives any reply.

Banking reform? You mean money for banks.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) just thumbed his nose at the students and parents of the victims in the mass murder at the Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Mitch is choosing to shelve gun bills, and instead focus all his attention on banking reform.

McConnell, as a Republican, is a well established lapdog of corporate America, and especially in the hip-pocket of banking COEs. Knowing it is his and the rest of the GOP’s obligation to protect crooks in the banking industry and the thieves on Wall Street, the Republican minority fought the Democrats and President Obama as they tried to prevent the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act from becoming law in 2010.

Now that they have the idiot Trump in the White House, Mitch and the rest of his Republican servants-to-the-fat-cats wants to unleash another round of shady home foreclosures, bank failures, and also, free the Wall Street criminals to once again, screw small investors at will.

Inevitably, the bill for the Republicans’ service to the fat cats and for the economic crises their conservative policies will cause will be up to the middle and lower income taxpayers to pay.

But, in his rush to hand the super-rich ever more taxpayer cash, Mitch and his merry band of GOP miscreants will further enrage a yet unknown number of millions of U.S. high school students. Students who will be eligible to vote in the 2018 mid-term elections.

Another anti-Civil Rights leftist speaks. (or rather, bleats)

I'm pretty sure the GOP's plan is to ban schools.

 

[Billy_Kinetta]

To force an action (either party) that will have no effect on a given circumstance is mere vanity.

Of course, this is false. Limiting magazines, limiting access, universal background checks, banning some or all guns, written and proficiency testing... these things would all make a difference. how can you sit there with a straight face and make the absurd claim that any of these would make NO difference? Of course they would.

Then why to date have they not?
