Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., addressed the shootings in Lewiston, Maine, that killed at least 18 people, calling it a “horrific tragedy.”

    A horrific tragedy that people like Mike Johnson funded and support every day of their lives. He regularly gets checks from the NRA in the millions to keep his mouth shut about gun control. The blood of every person killed in America is on his hands and will damn his soul for eternity, like all who support the NRA and all who take illicit blood money for looking the other way. There is no redemption from that sort of filth.

    Why can’t someone ask, “as Speaker, what is your plan to address the epidemic of mass shootings and gun violence?” I’m so tired of their spin making the news while their lack of answers goes unremarked.

      Simulated answer from him since the media can’t be bothered to ask: “Something something mental health, even though that’s not really the issue in most shootings, and also we aren’t gonna fund any mental health care either.”

      Media does really stink at actually asking hard questions or holding politicians to account.

      …will do nothing to help or stop this kind of horror from exploding across America’s idiotic face again and again and again and again and again without end.

    is a mass shooting in a bowling alley comparable to shooting fish in a barrel? it seems they’d be similar
