GOP's ineffective alternatives are just talk, no action

We have been through this enough to know the weak conservative policy ideas that come after the thoughts and prayers. Not only are these plans completely ineffective, they won't even follow through on any of them.

Are they actually going to spend more on mental health?
PFFFFT! Who are we kidding? That money should go to more tax cuts for the rich!

Are they going to provide money to schools to improve security?
If they were really going to do that, why didn't happen after the last 107 school mass shootings? Why not?
Might not have enough left over for another tax cut!

Homeschool everybody!
Aren't these the same people who were insisting that schools re-open during the pandemic?

Stop CRT!
Okay, now we're just slinging poo until the next news cycle.

Thoughts in an empty head. Prayers to a god they don't actually follow the rules of.

The GQP US Taliban party will continue to get away with it and double down in it. We almost have NO media to check them. The so-called liberal media which is mostly not liberal but bigly corporate, reich-winged and greedy make sure though that everybody and his brother KNOWS that Pres. Biden's poll numbers are horrific, and doesn't bode well for the mid-terms this year

NOT that I believe polls (Especially not CNN's polling which continues to poll 800-1,500 older, white folks with landlines in the North East who are mostly right-leaning anyway, and then they frame the questions in such as way: WHY do you think that Dems are in trouble come the 2022 mid-terms, but I never hear many in the liberal media saying jack about any polling saying that the GQP are obstructionists, liars, responsible for the January 6th insurrection, and that many of them in the congress supported it, and still don't think Pres. Biden IS president. This country is screwed. I continue to believe that somehow the universe will take care of the GQP US Taliban party.
