(9,426 posts)with survivors and families of victims, and hear firsthand what the effects of this gun violence really means. These so-called "representatives" are so far removed, and guarded from any violence, they are immune to the REAL people's lives lost or shattered. They should all be voted out of office, since they can not protect us from the gun nuts. All the ones who refuse to see the TRUTH about gun violence. The ones who take money from the NRA and gun manufacturers. One man, Moscow Mitch should not have such power that he can refuse to have the senate take a vote on ending this violence. Any one of them who refuses to vote to halt this should be voted out of their office.

We can help the world by voting that bastard out in 2020.

(18,748 posts)That's his response to tragedy. His defenders would say it's a "nervous chuckle", probably. Not me. He reminds me vaguely of Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs, and so does his ugly friend Donald.

(19,187 posts)It was scripted right from the start, so there was nothing "real" about it. He continues to run the country like it's his "reality" TV show, and he's failing. Miserably.
