Rage On Democrats, Largest Purveyor Of Terrorism and It All Comes Back To Donald Trump

Get a good look at these old guys, 40 Senators sitting on the floor of the House, demanding that a gun reform law be crafted and passed. This happened after four gun control laws were voted down by Senate Republicans, who also turned off the CSPAN cameras to put off the embarrassment. Of course, one might ask why Senate Democrats are invading the House chambers, when their ire is against Senate Republicans? Maybe they feel that the House guys are easier to intimidate, or they just like the carpet better, it's more thickly padded for their old butts. Who can decipher the logic of politicians? OK, I'm trying to be silly, the Democrats are holding up all other Congressional business by filibustering and demanding that Republicans get their bony butts back into the chambers and let's have a vote, Mr. Paul Ryan...

The main gist of the debate is whether to exclude people on the government's terrorist watch list from buying guns, The would include the infamously buggy no-fly list that seems to have no rhyme or reason for including some folks, and almost impossible to get off. Even a pardon from the President is easier to get... The closest the Republicans could offer was a 72 hour window for the person to be vetted by the FBI. As we all know, the FBI can't do anything in 72  hours, much less evaluate a person's mental state, check their criminal record, and go through those labyrinthine records. What happens if the person isn't vetted within 72 hours? The gun dealer should be made to give the gun to the person for free, like certain pizza chains do for promotion... Then again, maybe we could get some gun reform if someone passed around some LSD...

The website Truthdig has an interesting article about the use of planes and bombings in modern warfare. The original use of bombs during WW11 was to terrorize the enemy. We won the battle of air superiority and today have the best fighter jets crammed with the latest technology and we dominate the skies. But, as shown in Iraq and Afghanistan, we also have decimated towns and whole populations, turning them into rubble and creating vast numbers of homeless, who are trying to escape these bombings just as much as they wish to escape the war zones that ISIS occupies. The age old liberal argument is that with every bombing and drone strike that kill innocent bystanders, we help to create the next generation of extremist fighters. By that logic, the US is the biggest purveyor of terrorism in our current world situation, and don't get me started on the President's drone kill list...

The vast amounts, tons of bombs amounting to thousands times of what we dropped on Hiroshima, and none of it helped us to win a war in Southeast Asia, Korea, Afghanistan, Iraq, and now Syria. Instead, Europe is so bloated with refugees that they cannot accommodate them all, there are thousands of homeless children within the flow of migrants, and thousands more killed in boats capsizing. Of course, we know fucking Trump's solution...
