During the runup to the election I followed the news, got even more interested after the election because of the fraud charges, them after the insurrection I read everything about the insurrection, the investigations, and the arrests. Now I'll look at the stories and maybe read a paragraph or two. I guess I burned out. They just came out with articles on the investigation that was just completed and I couldn't bring myself to read the articles. Just wondering if you are still following the news on the insurrection?

Geesh Gaetz: beer drinking, women loving, party animal. If Trump was in office he'd be SCOTUS material lol!

bbbearsmom , I have also tuned out quite a bit on political news, specifically watching CNN constantly. I will fast forward through Fareed Zakaria and Reliable Sources on Sundays. I check CNN on my phone in the AM - seems like every day another shooting. I'm trying to stick mainly to local news and BBC. I record Shep Smith on CNBC nightly, and scroll through that. It sounds like a lot, but believe me, it is so much less news consumption than I was doing before.

I really am disgusted at the Texas politicians. It seems like they're just doing anything opposite of what Biden is trying to do. Now, they passed this in the House so people can carry guns with NO license and NO training. I'm seriously starting to think they're just trying to get people killed, as many as possible, between this and the "open Texas" covid stupidity. Texas House Passes ‘Permitless Carry' for Handguns as Bill Heads to the SenateWe can only hope that there's some common sense in the Senate, but I won't hold my breath.

DotRen, oh brother. Do you think anyone will be checking these yay-hoos who will be openly carrying to see if they are legitimately entitled to own a gun? I don't think so either..

I unfriended my last school-mate today. She's still posting "stolen election" crap, democrats are child sex traffic promoters (uh yea take a hard look at the GOP blocking laws to prevent sex trafficking and then use the part of your brain that's not dead...), etc and today she posted this "trumps troops" something about "there are millions of us fighting for America". It just makes me sick to know people are still thinking he will get back in office and just... ugh.

What makes me sick is how gullible, mean spirited, racist, puffed up, dumb, and cruel some people are. Imagine if Barack Obama said anything like, "You can grab them by the..." Do you think he would have been elected? What bothers me most is these silly trump worshippers are exactly like him and proud of it. We are no longer a beacon of light, hope, and unity. We are a joke. A ship of fools because of trump. An angry and destructive crowd of thugs who stormed our own capital. I hope President Biden can restore our dignity. I hope it's not too late.

Never forget, Trump said "I love the poorly educated." In front of a crowd of them and they cheered.

This is true. Pathetic and sad but true. [br Say it loud. Dumb and proud and carrying a loaded gun.

All these crack pots doing all these shootings. I wonder how ok it would be if members of the politicians families or they themselves were shot.
America is going backwards instead of forward. We are happily and stupidly returning to the wild, wild, West.
Oh goodie. Sigh.

I am wondering when common sense and decency will replace dumb and dumber.
Maybe when business and companies don't have customers anymore. You never know if the guy next to you is carrying and might let loose if the store is out of his favorite brand of pickles.
The Intelligent species? Because we can drive a car and fire a weapon?

I have heard speculation that mass shootings are up because businesses are reopening and the crazies have access to a lot more target rich environments. Plus anyone can get a gun, but that's not new.

We have more people killed by guns than any other country. Doesn't it make you proud to be an American? Hey, come on. We are number one and we love being number one. It's the American way.
You never know. There could be Red Coats with muskets hiding in the bushes in front of Wal-Mart waiting to get you.
