Thoughts and prayers are not enough. Vance is a hypocrite and not Christian. Congress do your job or return your salary to us who pay you. Beef up background checks, training and medical checks. Pass laws to stop sale of assault type of weapons and munitions that kill large groups of people at one time, to public. INSTEAD OF TALKING DO SOMETHING. Maga sucks.
YOU are very articulate Mike. And are doing a fine job of starting to lay out what Dems need to become loud and clear about. Make that widely known among both those who have the job of crafting the message AND everyday Dems on the street. Maybe also go on main stream media as well to help us regular folks frame how we can spread these ideas among our friends who are holding back, hunkered down and disaffected or discouraged. We all need something good to invest our energies into as an antidote to the insanity that assaults us each day.
Well actually, Democrats did say “thoughts and prayers not enough” since the kids were praying when they were shot. It’s a sore spot. And when Trump came out and said “ thoughts and prayers “ only, it hit us democrats wrong. As if Trump has actually prayed in his life!
I don't care whether you are left or right or standing still, there is absolutely no fucking need for anyone outside of the Military to own an automatic weapon that can shoot 500 rounds in a minute. There are no neighbors that I hate to need that kind of fire power. No animals or birds you have to mow down in that number. These Military grade weapons are meant for one and only one thing, kill a large number of people. And these fucking republicans are so indebted to the NRA, that they will tow any lines NRA throws out. No civilized country allows these kind of guns in their streets. Trump is a monster. So is Vance. Neither cares a goddamn shit about the school shootings, and children and teachers killed. They have their army to protect their children and family. What is the matter with the low level MAGA republican? Do they care about their children, or it is just business as usual, and hide behind the fucking trans flag. No amounts of thoughts and prayers will bring back these dead little kids. Disgusting.
DUMP AND IMPEACH TRAITOR , NAZIS , FELONS, PREDATORS ,AND CON REPUBLICONS EVERYWHERE. YES CON REPUBLICONS, CLIMATE CHANGE IS DANGEROUS, REAL, DISRUPTIVE WORLDWIDE, COSTLY, AND PREVENTABLE. STOP DENYING CLIMATE CHANGE AND FACE THE SCIENCE . DUMP THE CON RTRUMP AND CRONIES. DEPORT RTRUMP'S WIFE AND RELATIVES. BOYCOTT NAZI MUSK AND NAZI RTRUMP. VOTE FOR DEMOCRACY, NOT THE RAW DEAL.
You are spot on! I've said this for years. I own guns. I enjoy target shooting. But there is no reason to own an AR15, or any other weapon that can shoot that fast, other than to kill countless human beings. This is craziness. Our most vulnerable people, our children, are paying the price. Shameful!

I’m sick of the BS thoughts and prayers we hear after every mass shootings, especially school shootings where babies are blown to shit by weapons of war. If thoughts and prayers were followed by meaningful action, it’d be acceptable, but it’s not.
Block the roads now. Too much is at risk to wait! Mobilize Blue state National Guards when threatened. Wait until then. The invasion of one state by another is a call to state Governors to mobilize their National Guards to resist an UNLAWFUL assault. The U.S. military should not accept UNLAWFUL orders. The sooner we get this over with, the better. This confrontation is coming. It is coming! We are stronger now than we will be tomorrow. The confrontation is not a battle or a war. It is a standoff at State borders. One state would be trying to invade another. One is the offender. The other, the defender. We know TACO.
Also, the gerrymander fight is on. There is a new playbook. The old rules have been struck down by the Supreme Court. We need to change the gears here as fast as possible for deadly PREEMPTIVE strikes. Newsom has moved out on this already. Who is next? Hochul. Where are you? NO EXCUSE! Change your state Constitution. Pritzker. What are you doing?
I wouldn’t be so sure about your beliefs on the #2. Is seems that everyone is overlooking the fact that once trump’s transformation to dictator is complete, he will HAVE to eliminate #2 along with #1. Granted, it will be the LAST change he makes, but he cannot effectively function as a DICTATOR with an intact 2nd amendment!
Last segment about Dems needing to take the offensive or lose the country is 100 percent spot-on! Time is of the essence, stop waiting for the next outrageous Trump and GOP distraction and take the fight to these losers, all day every day
Sorry Walsh, but 'thoughts and prayers' has become an empty gratuitous gesture and cliche' chanted by people whose only thought and prayers is 'thank God it's not me.' If you're insulted, blame those Republicans who made the term an insult to us.
Furthermore, the reason those shooters are overwhelmingly young white straight males is that for them, the American Dream is dead. It's hopelessness, and hopelessness is what drives much of the crime. People want a job or the opportunity to start a business that will provide for them to climb the economic ladder, not just subsist on government benefits. Therefore, the election theme for Democrats should be RESTORE OUR AMERICAN DREAM, the one the economic elites stole from the rest of us.
Note that it's "our" not "the" American Dream because it still exists for a privileged few. It also makes for a better acronym.
To restore our American Dream, we need to unrig the system to end this hopelessness that drives rage and impulsive criminal actions. We still need the social safety nets, but to win, we need to offer hope for more than getting by. If you lead with the social safety net issues, those with jobs will fear they will be further exploited to pay for them. If you break up the monopoly powers that suppress wages and restore equitable tax rates on the morbidly rich, the need and therefore the cost of those benefits will be manageable. It also may require regulating the court, as authorized by Article III, Section 2 of the Constitution, to reign in the corrupt Roberts gang voiding and amending parts of the Constitution by calling it "interpretation" or not bothering to explain at all with their "Shadow Docket."
One action you can take this weekend -- JOIN IN EITHER OF TWO NATIONAL PROTESTS ON LABOR DAY -- grab your families friends and fellow Americans of all stripes to join in making these Labor Day protests even bigger than NO KINGS. Get your signs ready—there has been so much even in the last week to protest. We MUST start getting our numbers out there for all media to note, as it encourages those who have been sitting silently by to join their voices and make their ire heard. We need to have the same ferocity and resolve and strength as Korea did—pass the word. Join in the protests, then go home and celebrate with a family BBQ--teach your children how we work for change! PASS THIS INFO ON!

I don’t know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but my son and son in law hate Trump but refused to vote Democrat because it got too liberal with the bathroom situation. My grandchildren are young girls and son/son in law are horrified that a ?Trans had free rein on any bathroom they went into. They said they would never vote democrat because of that.

Interesting…seems meshing we really NEED to be thinking about…
Right. Not only that, the constitution will be burned to the ground, and the amendments are part of that, no?
Both sides sends their condolences, but as in other shootings, it’s business as usual! So sad that our country has become so complacent.

“Politics and Prayer” ?? Those two things don’t belong in the same sentence. Separation of church and state.
