Besides desecrating graves at Arlington National Cemetery, senile traitor Trump promises his America will be bloody

These are the 4 worst Presidents in History
Each worse than the last...

Senile Traitor DonOld Trump doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground, "You can do everything. The President has such power. It does. Such power." Day 1 Dictator Trump 08/30/24.

In a Wisconsin rally, Trump declared parts of Colorado are controlled by  immigrants based on some lies form the Republican Major of Aurora Mike Coffman and rightwingers online claimed the city had been taken over by Venezuelan Gangs.

(It's completely unsurprising in this era of rightwing online propaganda that Republicans were claiming the Hell's Angels were coming to Aurora, Colorado to fight the Venezuelan Gangs controlling the City and that Republicans would care more about their fantasy of Migrant Gang Invasions than the real threat out there of White Male Rightwing Gunmen going into a movie theater shooting dozens of people).

Donald Trump is visibly confused.  Donald Trump is physically in shambles and barely presentable in public.  Donald Trump can't complete a sentence.  Donald Trump can't process a question posed to him and respond in a coherent fashion.  Donald Trump can't speak without descending into the same tired lies, insults, slanders, and fascist  he's recited hundreds of times before.  Donald Trump is not mentally fit for duty.  

But...

Donald Trump does know how to emotionally work his rabid supporters; with Fear & Anger and his 70,000,000 followers are beginning to realize he can say anything he wants so, they are doing the same.  Seriously, #KamalaHQ posts verbatim quotes fromTrump and his criminal co-conspirators and his on-line Russian paid army of Twitter Nazis tell America don't believe what we actually said believe what we tell you we said.

In his speech Total weirdo Trump claimed, "They will have a hundred million of these people in here with another 4 years. A hundred million.  If you think you have a nice house a migrant will enjoy your house.  Because a migrant will take it over.  It will be Venezuela on Steroids." FEAR!

Trump then continued his lie about children being Transgendered at school, "Kamala supports states being able to take minor children and perform sex change operation, take them away from their parents, perform sex-change operation and send them back home.  Can you imagine you're a parent and your son leaves the house and you say, Jimmy, I love you so much. Go have a good day in school and your son comes back with a brutal operation." ANGER!

And then capped off what he and the Republicans plan to do,  "The gangs are taking over sections of the state.  And, you know, getting them out will be a bloody story."

Trump will give his bloody MAGA cult the violence they yearn for.  And he's telling them he will pardon those convicted of crimes against the American people because he's going to give a blanket pardon to January 6 convicted criminals.

And this was just on recent speech.  In the past few months, the incoherent statements, the number of insane falsehoods, the number of unhinged fascist declarations, the rabid calls for violence, and the number of easily disprovable lies by Trump would fill columns in Newspapers...  if the Corporate Media cared to cover it.

But...  they don't.

The Corporate Media wants him to be President again.  So, they will continue in their policy of "sane-washing" his comments and re-organizing his actual statements so it doesn't look like unintelligible gibberish.

And...

The Corporate Media wanted Joe Biden gone and the Democrats in Disarray so they could help propel their Dear Leader DonOld Trump back into the White House.

What they got in July instead was a masterful political maneuver by President Biden, which energized the Democratic base and enlivened the casual Democratic voter and positioned Kamala Harris to be the next President.

This was not how this was supposed to go when the Corporate Media wrote for months about President Biden's age, which is why since that fateful day in July, the Corporate Media hasn't mentioned that DonOld Traitor Trump is a senile, incoherent criminal making up absolute garbage lies, engaging in non-stop racist and sexist attacks on soon-to-be President Harris, and demonstrating that besides all the criminal activity, he is not only morally unfit and ethically unsound for the Office of President he is in need of committal to a mental health institute.

Understand, nothing anyone writes on Twitter (X), Social Media or Substack or in these ancient unread blog posts is going to change the way the Corporate Media "sane-washes" Trump but, that doesn't make it a useless endeavor.  We've got to fight for the country we won't because the one Trump and the Republicans want is a fascist hellhole of oppression and mass murder.

But, the more insane shit Trump spouts the more his supporters cling to him, the more rabid they become in the thought he will be taken from them, and as they get more frightened of not having their Cultish Leader the more they convince themselves that Violence is the way to go.

I could post further actual quotes, the rambling incoherence, and spit flecked diatribes the Corporate Media won't but, the people who actually need to read and her what Trump is saying don't come here.

"Well, I would do that and we're sitting down, you know, I was, somebody, we had Marco Rubio and my daughter, Ivanka were very impactful… But I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I'm talking about that because the child care is childcare, you know, that's something you have to have it in this country, you have to have it... I want to stay with childcare… So we'll take care of it. Thank you" - Trump in Sept 2024, when people are listening...

I knew this was going to get Ugly, but while I expected the Corporate Media to BOTHSIDES BOTHSIDES BOTHSIDES this into a 50/50 horserace match, I did not expect them to overtly, blatantly, and openly come out in favor of Trump and decide to throw in with him fully.

Harris and Walz can win and if the recent new voter registration figures can over come the Republican voter suppression and ballot rigging efforts, then the dirty tricks Republicans in Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, North Carolina, Arizona, Wisconsin and elsewhere won't matter.  Because Harris will win not only by landslide popular vote numbers but with a solid near blowout Electoral College Vote.  Right now we have to win, we can talk about reconciliation and deprogramming the MAGA cultists later.

Update:

I think I know what the Corporate Media play will be;  they are waiting for the September 10th Debate.  If Trump can come off barely cogent and slightly coherent and sticks to his Forceful presentation of lies and slanders they will declare their Dear Beloved Leader Fit for Duty and ready to be President once again.  But, if senile traitor Trump happens to mess up and actually scream N-Word at Vice President Kamala Harris, they might... might mind you... claim maybe he isn't fit for duty.  

But, I don't think so.  I think no matter what Trump says or does ons take they will BothSides the debate claim both candidates told untruths, both candidates proposed differed with their Housing Policy, with their commitment to Education, with their visions for America and declare the Race a Toss-Up!  Woo-Hoo!  More Horerace coverage!  Woo-Hoo more coverage of Trump's wild showmanship!  Woo-Hoo more chances to question whether or not Kamala Harris really worked at McDonald's.  

Colorado Supreme Court rules that Traitor Trump can't be on their ballot

Good old President Biden laying down the fire;

“It’s self-evident. You saw it all,” Biden said shortly after landing in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, according to White House pool reports, when asked about the court case and at first saying he would not comment. “Now, whether the 14th Amendment applies, I’ll let the court make that decision.”  The U.S. Supreme Court would handle the appeal of the Colorado decision expected from Trump.  “But he certainly supported an insurrection,” Biden continued. “No question about it. None. Zero. And he seems to be doubling down on about everything.”

I personally think the Supreme Court is going to punt this issue and not address by declaring States have the right to determine their election laws, but Roberts is no doubt trying to figure out how he will spilt the baby of making sure Traitor Trump is the nominee (and 47th President) while also not declaring Trump is absolutely immune from the Law. 

Republicans and Fox News piss on Maui residents, piss on women, piss on immigrants, piss on teachers, piss on Gold Star Families, piss on America. For roughly 75 million conservatives this doesn't matter, what matters is Trump and his Republican ghouls promise if put back into power they will hurt the people conservatives hate. But, Republicans also piss on the Law.  And sometimes the law pisses back.

A majority of the court holds that Trump is disqualified from holding the office of president under Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.

Trump has lived his whole purulent life remarkably, but not entirely, free of legal consequences.  It's been the same since 2015 when he announced his decision to destroy the United States of America for allowing a black man to make fun of him at the 2012 White House Correspondents Dinner.

But, in an amazing realization of This One Weird Trick, Trump can not appear on the ballot in Colorado.  The Colorado Supreme Court ruled 4-3 against the Traitor after reviewing the Colorado case against Trump; 

The Electors and President Trump sought this court’s review of various rulings by the district court. We affirm in part and reverse in part. We hold as follows:

• The Election Code allows the Electors to challenge President Trump’s status as a qualified candidate based on Section Three. Indeed, the Election Code provides the Electors their only viable means of litigating whether President Trump is disqualified from holding office under Section Three.

• Congress does not need to pass implementing legislation for Section Three’s disqualification provision to attach, and Section Three is, in that sense, self-executing.

• Judicial review of President Trump’s eligibility for office under Section Three is not precluded by the political question doctrine.

• Section Three encompasses the office of the Presidency and someone who has taken an oath as President. On this point, the district court committed reversible error.

• The district court did not abuse its discretion in admitting portions of Congress’s January 6 Report into evidence at trial.

• The district court did not err in concluding that the events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, constituted an “insurrection.”

• The district court did not err in concluding that President Trump “engaged in” that insurrection through his personal actions.

• President Trump’s speech inciting the crowd that breached the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, was not protected by the First Amendment.

¶5 The sum of these parts is this: President Trump is disqualified from holding the office of President under Section Three; because he is disqualified, it would be a wrongful act under the Election Code for the Secretary to list him as a candidate on the presidential primary ballot.

¶6 We do not reach these conclusions lightly. We are mindful of the magnitude and weight of the questions now before us. We are likewise mindful of our solemn duty to apply the law, without fear or favor, and without being swayed by public reaction to the decisions that the law mandates we reach.

For the time being Trump is off the Colorado ballot.  Not that he'd win Colorado anyway.  Of course, a lot of on-line liberal chatter is all doom and gloom about this decision, Oh no, they cry, this will galvanize his supporters, The Unjust Supreme Court will gut the 14th Amendment, Republican Neoconfederate states will now throw Joe Biden off of their ballot because of Hunter Biden's Laptop!

This IS NOT the wrong way to do it.  It is entirely with the Law to exclude insurrectionists from holding office, let alone the Office of the President.  And besides which it's time to use every conceivable means we have to keep him from power because Trump's supporters can not wait to put him into power.  They yearn to get Stephen Miller, Mike Flynn, Chad Wolf, or any of these other "Little Eichmanns" back into the White House and they've promised to do unspeakable things and usher in an Era of Fascism in America.  Anything we can do using the system to thwart that is not only justified but, necessary.

Some of this is justified consternation that We, the People find ourselves in this position at all.  We shouldn't be here.  We shouldn't be worried that in 2024 an outright Fascist Authoritarian who is in the throes of syphilis induced dementia has at least a 50/50 chance of getting into the White House.

Many terminally on-line liberals seem to think the only correct way to beat Trump is a straight-up rematch in the 2024 election.  As though Joe Biden and Donald Trump should fight a noble and fair duel following the rules!  Trump's already lost the popular vote twice, even with Israeli war crimes dragging down entisaism for Biden, Trump would lose it a 3rd time.  They are unwilling or unable to see the Marching Fascism barreling straight towards us.  Or believe they will be more or less unscathed by another Trump presidency.

Because ratfvcking Republicans don't intend for this election to be settled at the ballot box by the American voter but, by election fraud and outright criminal chicanery.  It's not as though Republicans have ever held a free and fair election anyway.  It's not as though Republicans don't cynically and successfully claim the rules mean they win and you lose.  The Republican Party has made voting a demoralizing and difficult task precisely to ensure people do not vote, while also illegally disenfranchising thousands of likely democratic voters.

And understand if the Republicans had been successful in their One Weird Trick attempts in 2020 prior to the January 6th Insurrection, through the courts or via the House Vote or the Ron Johnson Fake Electors, or if Mike Pence had done what he yearned to do and declared Trump the Winner they would have declared Trump was still President and dared anyone to say he wasn't...

We won't just stand around
Next Time...

In the run-up to the 2024 Presidential Election, Trump has already stated numerous times he plans to Weaponize the Federal Government to round-up and place millions of people into concentration camps.  It's not hyperbole but, a full-fledged plan of action.  Now, on-line rightwing trolls and Fash Curious claim its' just homeless bums, the mentally ill, and illegal immigrants Trump will terrorize and relocate into Camps by any means necessary.

But, always remember these Reactionary types say this to convince the Normies that Oh no no no, we're not coming for you!  Not at all!  You won't be next on the list after we:

• kick out the immigrants
• cast down the sodomites,
• place the homeless in Tents in the Nevada desert, 
• re-educate teachers to teach PraegerU style patriotism, 
• enslave and shackle women to ensure no pregnancy is ever "lost", 
• emulate the IDF treatment of Gaza on Chicago, Baltimore, San Francisco, and other cities.

Nooooo The Rising Fascist America has no plans to round-up and eliminate the NON-Maga to purify this land.  We wouldn't dream of building big beautiful tent cities to house the LGBTQ, our political enemies, or to put a Gun in the Hands of Every Righteous White Man.

Republicans hate America.  They fundamentally want to destroy the Nation and replace it with the America of their Fantasies; a land where women are chaste or restrained, a land where Republicans like James Comer or Bridget Ziegler can hypocritically engage in whatever behavior they want while castigating others for it, a land where migrants are drowned in the river at Governor Greg Abbott's orders, a land where religious freedom is subject to the whim of violent rightwing zealots and you have the freedom to bow and scrape to Republican officials and Republican religious beliefs.  A Fascist Fundamentalist Paradise...

Forget Florida focus on the Four (Five) Southwest Corner States

"The vibe on the ground was totally different than this," Charlie Kirk talking to Arizona lunatic Wendy Rogers.  Rightwingers run on Vibes not Votes.  That's why the animating principle for Republicans is #OwntheLibs and not say how can we set up a more just union which materially benefits Americans?

The United States is a center-left Nation.  On every issue, Democrats represent the overwhelming will of America.  Yet...  the Republican Party persists.  It's no secret why Republicans still threaten the United States, they've inflitrated the Government and subverted laws and rights at every opportunity to ensure their agenda of oppression and subjugation continues to plague the American people.

It appears America's dildo is a lost cause for the foreseeable future. Florida has had steady trickle of angry Reactionary white boomers coalescing in the infected tip.  And those boomers are red-faced and furious. They were the golden children of America. They were going to live forever. The World was there's for the taking.  And then they got old.

Meanwhile, Soft Focus Kari Lake lost her bid to be the pugnacious Trumpette of Arizona.  And the Democrats won throughout Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, okay Nevada, were the Machinery set up by Harry Reid continues to churn out wins for the Democrats.

The Southwest is already a blue bulwark against the sea of red which rolls over the empty High Plains of the Nation.  So, accept that, with the exception of an odd House district in Florida, the Southwest should be the focus of effort along with the old so-called rust belt states.  Because Republicans in the US House and Rightwingers in back room meetings continue to indicate that should they get power, women are going to be reduced to second class citizens bereft of the basic rights to bodily autonomy and Republicans will aid Vladimir Putin and other Authoritarian leaders roll back progressive gains and ensconce a new era of Fascism on the Globe.

Read this excellent short article by Mark Greene about the MAGA Boomer Rage and how there were several inflection points and the Boomers, as a whole, often made the worse decision each time and it's led to the Faux News fueled White Boomer Rage.  From the article, 

The MAGA bell curve peaked as we moved into retirement, staring blankly at our own mortality. Because we had bought into the decades long drumbeat of individualism sold to us by a GOP bent on eliminating social safety nets, we sought validation in class and status and so ended up without community.

A succinct description of Florida and its' denizens.

Mass Shootings are the Ultimate Expression of White Male Privilege

There are many titles I could have come up with this post but, the recent details emerging from the latest Mass Shooting incident in Colorado changed its' direction.

So, the Mass Shooter was spotted by his neighbor who called 911 only to be told because of the crazy Open Carry and Stand Your Ground Laws forced down the throats of every American by the vicious NRA and blood-soaked Gun Manufacturers without one care about the health and right to life of We, the People there was nothing the Police could do.

Similar, incidents of weapon brandishing by Firearm Fuckers have happened in other states. When I'm on duty and see a person marching around with a weapon I don't think freedom loving 2A Champion, I think shooting about to go down. It used to be that openly displaying a weapon away from you own property was a crime but, of course, the shooter as a white male has the absolute right to threaten people with his gun implictly and explicitly. The resultant mass shootings are the ultimate expression of white male privilege.

Now, your average conservative asshole or gun-humping fanatic will immediately respond with Chicago!!! BLACK ON BLACK VIOLENCE!!! So, let's take a look at what's going on in Chicago.

The majority of guns used in commission of crimes originate outside Chicago and Cook County. But, besides the fact that loose or nonexistent gun laws from various of states is driving Chicago's Gun Crime what's the underlying force behind the Chicago shootings; Criminal activity, gang identification, and territory disputes, mainly surrounding the drug business. This is no different than the criminal activity surrounding the Italian Mobs of Chicago and New York, the Irish Mobs in Boston and Cleveland. But, Italian and Irish people have earned enough white points so reactionary right-wingers don't ascribe the actions of a few criminals to the entire people the way they do for African-Americans.

But, worse than the racist politics of conservatives is the way the Gun Humping Fanatics have taken over the issue of Gun Control. The favorite youtube video of Gun Nuts is: We Need to Talk About Sandy Hook.

There is a kernel of reactionary right-wingers who are convicned that every mass shooting is a black ops Obama led conspiracy to talk their precious guns from them. Scarlett Lewis, a mother of the one of the Newton murdered school children recent released a book about her pain and struggle. The Amazon reviews by the gun nut trolls are just horrific.

For instance:

• This book is a fun read if you want a good laugh, or just to observe the pathetic lies about JessiLewis, a fictional death to push the Democrat's gangster/communist policy coup attempt to destroy the Constitution.
• Sandy Hook NEVER happened!! The FBI ADMITTED that it never happened!! Is this book supposed to be real?? What a joke!!!
• Sandyhook has been proven to be a 100% FRAUD. This was a false government sponsored psychological operation used to erode the rights of American Citizens. This lady did not write this book. This is propaganda that is being used to perpetuate a false narrative.
• This woman is a liar no child died at Sandy hook. Sandy hook is a hoax, it was staged. Go watch "We need to talk about Sandy Hook" and pay attention. SANDY HOOK WAS A STAGED HOAX NO ONE DIED!
• Lies and propaganda, no children died at Sandy hook!

I could continue but there are 10 pages of these types of "reviews" from Firearm Fucking Fanatics, read them.

But, they buttress a point about laws. You do not let the most extreme elements drive Gun Laws. Nor do you let those whose interests lie in making as many weapons as possible craft gun laws. And contrary to the bluster of Right-Wingers there are various laws which could have an impact on these mass shootings, they just don't know about them because Republicans at the behest of the Gun Makers Lobby quietly kill those laws in State and Federal Government,

In 2005 George W(orst President Ever) Bush backed by the Republican Controlled House and Senate passed Legislation making Gun Manufacturers immune to Lawsuits for their Negligence.

In 2011 Republicans in Illinois, in direct opposition to the health and safety of their constituents, voted to put guns in the hands of Terrorists:

Republicans on the House Judiciary panel shot down a proposal Thursday to prevent weapon sales to suspected terrorists.  

In a party-line vote of 21-11, the committee Republicans killed an amendment from Rep. Mike Quigley (D-Ill.) that would have blocked firearm purchases by those on the FBI's terrorist watch list.

Connecticut lawmakers, in March 2011, tried to ban the magazines used by the Newton Murderer.

In 2014, Alan Colmes interviewed South Carolina Senate candidate Lee Bright and asked Bright if Teachers should have "machine guns". Bright responded that a teacher "protecting school grounds" should carry whatever "she" can. When asked specifically if that meant "machine guns", Bright responded, "The Second Amendment is pretty clear. It says the right to carry arms should not be infringed... I don’t see how the government can regulate it."

Supreme Court Warren Burger, a conservative appointed to Chief Justice by Richard Nixon, said of the idea that the second amendment confers an individuals right to own a gun, 

"the second amendment has been the subject of one of the greatest pieces of fraud, I repeat the word fraud, ever perpetrated on the American public by an interest group in my lifetime."

Molon Labe: Guns aren't going anywhere and until We, the People do something about them, Firearm Fucking Gun Nuts are going to continue murdering Americans.

After each and every incident the gun humping fanatics have perfected the argument of the loud voice and the angry red face, after every shooting, they swarm the internet and just scream, 'AHHHHH!' 'AHHHHH!' 'AHHHHH!' ''AHHHHH!' 'AHHHHH!' 'AHHHHH!', until everyone just stops commenting and the other pressing matters in our daily lives take our attention away.

But, the Gun Humpers attention is never diverted they await every new mass shooting to swarm yet again. The murder on-air of a blonde newcaster and a cameraman, caused only a temporary ripple in the rushing torrent of Gun Nut Screams and the Howls of the NRA.

Guns will destroy us, unless we refocus and destroy them.

Merry Xmas! Gun Nuts celebrate their Newton Massacre Victory

Like all cowards, Gun Lovers are willing to sacrifice someone else's life in defense of their beliefs.

On this Christmas Day, take a moment to reflect that since the Newton Massacre, 34,472 Americans have been killed by guns. But, because of political cowardice and the blood money flowing freely to and from Firearm Manufacturers We, the People have to live under constant threat from criminals and the delusions of lunatics like Wayne LaPierre.

Another gun lunatic, Larry Pratt continues his organizations' ceaseless campaign of blaming the victims of gun violence for their deaths and praising gun owners as god's chosen people. Of course, Faux News gives Pratt airtime to voice his vile, frightening and ignorant views.

"All of these gun-free zones are murder magnets, and we’ve simply got to get rid of them." 

If this had a scintilla of truth then no police officers or law enforcement officials would ever be shot or killed in the line of duty because they are always armed. Here's some more inane prattle from Larry Pratt, about how God loves guns and judges those who don't pack heat everyday,

"And we should be praying that we will all be able to go around armed because that will be one outward indicator that we have God’s blessing. If we are walking around like they are in New York and San Francisco, we are under his judgement."

Blaming Gun-Free Zone for the murderous rampages of Second Amendment Heroes is the akin to blaming homeowners for the actions of burglars, if you didn't own that home it couldn't have been burglarized.

But, victim blaming is part of the strategy adopted by the Gun Nuts. Fear is another potent weapon.

In the US Congress, fear of the Gun Lobby and rancorous speeches about the Second Amendment Shall Not Be Infringed have made for a cowardly, wishy-washy approach. Typically, the eventual bill is a clunky, hastily, cobbled together bunch of contradictory nonsense which fails because they go too far in the views of the lunatic fringe gun nutters and irk gun control advocates for not going far enough. While the rest of us groan over the malapropisms inserted in the text which shows that whomever wrote the bills doesn't have enough, if any, technical knowledge about what they're trying to legislate.

Of course, complicating matters is unlimited buckets of blood money Wayne LaPierre has at his disposal with which to threaten or cajole lawmakers. Thus, of the 109 Gun Laws passed after Newton, the vast majority (70) have eased restrictions and made acquiring, carrying and using guns easier. 

Starting next year, Illinois will have a concealed carry law. Cook County Sheriff Tommy Dart has correctly labelled this law "horrifically unworkable" and derided the blood money soaked Illinois legislators who wrote it, "What in God’s name were these people thinking? What were they thinking?"

Sheriff Dart is correct about the law being unworkable because the background checks installed in the law are to be conducted by Illinois State Police, who are going to do a standard name check of the applicant. Because of manpower limitations and HIPA laws ISP is not going to go speak with neighbors of the applicants or be able to find out if someone is unbalanced if they've never officially been institutionalized.

Sheriff Dart, who deals with the 3rd largest metro area in the Nation, wanted automatic disqualifications for known criminals with gun offenses, domestic abusers and those with recorded gang affiliations, but Rep. Brandon Phelps, the Harrisburg Democrat, the prime sponsor of the law has said that standing objections are "not part of the law". 

In Colorado, 2 state lawmakers were recalled and other hastily resigned because out-of-state Gun Lunatics brought pressure and money to remove them.

On the topic of Colorado, another responsible gun owner stood his ground, shot and killed an intruder to defend his property. It turns out the dastardly criminal breaking into the basement was his 14-year old step-daughter sneaking back into the home at 6 in the morning.

No target identification at a time not generally associated with burglaries. This is going to take some investigation by the local PD, but I'd look at the history between the two and see if the obviously willful stepdaughter and stepdad haven't had a few domestic disputes and the "responsible" gun owning stepdad didn't care for his now deceased stepdaughter.

See the act of owning a gun ipso facto makes one a "responsible" gun owner.

A canard amongst Gun Nuts is that 'An Armed Society is a Polite Society', Chicago's gun violence and the 34,000 dead Americans across the Nation show this to be false. What Stand Your Ground Laws and Concealed Carry have brought about is a Shoot First cause Dead Men Tell No Tales and create the potential for turning every minor scuffle or verbal disagreement into a gunfight.

So, have a safe Christmas. Remember guns aren't toys to show off to relatives. Remember to keep them locked up so children don't have access to them. Don't drink and draw. If family tensions start to run high don't go for your gun. Let's not add to the horrific gun death total this year.

The Dark Night in Colorado and America's Mental Health

"The white man, that landed here; He came with two great weapons. One is the bible and the other was the gun. If he didn't humble you with the bible, he'd crumble you with the gun. And he's still praising the lord and passing the ammunition." - Lewis H. Michaux

As the media engages in the morbid coverage of The Dark Night of Colorado the Pro-Gun Lobby has conditioned America to simply treat these increasingly murderous sprees as "natural disasters".

We should feel sympathy for the victims and horror at the tragedy but, simply go back to our daily routine while awaiting the next shooting as though it's simply part of the societal landscape, like toronadoes, droughts, and Oil Spills.

But question the sanity of allowing someone to purchase 6000 rounds of ammunition? No, we can not do that, because the Holy Second Amendment. We are being held hostage to a warped vision of an idea. But, according to right-wing loonies these gun rampages are a god given immutable law and thus man can not change it. This is all just collateral damage of Freedom.

The writers over at Lawyers, Guns, and Money show how Conservative scum Glenn Reynolds immediately politcized the tragedy. Like most of the despicable tactics of right-wings it's brilliant. Use this horrific gun-fueled terrorist assualt as a political battering ram all the while bemoaning that Liberals are going to use it as a political battering ram.

Reverend Rick Warren tweeted shortly after the shooting, "When students are taught that they are no different from animals, they act like it." Nice christian compassion there Rick, you fat pile of putrid garbage, go back to bashing poor people for not paying enough taxes.

This incident is going to resonate for decades. A dozen murders, 59 wounded, hundreds more exposed to the carnage. Decades from now people and extended families will be dealing with the fallout and emotional damage.

But, that means nothing to right-wingers and gun loving loonies. No, they must retreat into a pseudo-philosphical realm where the death and devastation of unfettered access to guns is just some thought experminent.

Well, as always the first proposition of gun loonies is to claim if someone in the theater was packing this would have all been avoided. The way to combat gun violence is with *moar* guns!

This is, of course, ridiculous because James Holmes was "Acting" and any armed patron would be "Reacting". Action beats Reaction 99% of the time. But, when taking into account the number of people, the darkened conditions, the confusion, the smoke, the panic, and the up-armored murderer Holmes, how many rounds would be needed to drop him? But, such considerations are purposefully avoided by deluded gun loonies who would have you believe and probably believe themselves that they could draw, fire 2 rounds center mass and holster in 3 seconds all the while you enjoy the show.

Now, moving beyond the right-wing one-shot, one-kill Death Wish fantasy scenarios, gun loonies often claim that the mere thought that an intended gallery of victims would included a preponderance or even several armed persons would be enough to dissaude the attacker. And this is why famously Wyatt Earp, Doc Holiday and Bat Masterton never had to fire their guns or even pull their pistols in the old west because everyone was armed. But, if as every gun owner wants to claim Holmes was "crazy, sick, demented" then a logical fear of others having guns isn't going to stop him.

James Holmes obviously suffered a pyschotic break and based on his preperations he knew it. It's probable his study of the brain provided him with the edge in this incident. He was acting and knew the reaction times of his victims would be slowed and flawed.

More and more often in my daily duties as a Police Officer, I come into contact with people suffering from untreated mental disorders or diminished capacity. But, Police Officers should not be regularly tasked with responding to people suffering from reduced capacity or mental problems. When your only tool is a hammer, then everyone becomes a nail.

The Mental Health of members of society needs to be addressed by society. But, more and more "society" lets these people fall through the cracks because family counselors, DCFS workers, and mental health professionals are understaffed and overworked. While local and state governments choose to cut funding for those workers because budgets are squeezed.

And budgets are squeezed because the 1% in this Nation see no reason to invest in it. More and more superrich bastards, like Mitt Romney, ferret away Billions into off-shore tax havens.

The 1% have no reason to have a Post Office, no reason to have National Healthcare, no reason to have a Social Security safety net, no reason to regulate gun sales or control access to ammuntion. The 1% who control 50% of this country's wealth see no point in having a Nation.

They have the assets to set themselves up in little fiefdoms. The 1% don't see movies in giant cinemaplexs with the hoi poloi. They don't do downward facing dog with a bunch of middle class housewives. They have private movie studios. Yoga instructors come to their homes.

Society is at risk because the assets of society are being drained to the coffers of the Plutocracy.

Murderous Gun Spree in Colorado but, It's not Terrorism because the suspect is "white"

America you'd better get used to daily murder sprees by heavily armed gunman.

In a suburb of Denver, Colorado, a gun loving terrorist wearing gas mask and bullet-proof vest killed 12 people at a midnight premiere of The Dark Knight Rises. The terrorist is apparently a University of Colorado drop-out, 24 year old James Holmes.

Holmes was armed with two .40 caliber Glocks, a Remington model 870 shotgun and a Smith and Wesson AR-15 rifle, also was wearing a bullet-proof vest and may have released a tear-gas cannister.

If only George Zimmerman was there instead of being locked up for stalking and gunning down that Trayvon Martin. But, then of course, Trayvon was black and armed with a bag of skittles, not a vest-wearing, multiple gun-carrying white college student.

"I believe, every American should have to go out and buy a Glock 9mm. And if you don’t do it, we’ll tax you. Now, I wonder how the liberals will feel about that one.” - Florida Congressman Allen West, murderous pyscho enabler.

12 lives sacrificed upon the altar of the Gun. How many more people? How many more times? How long must we cower under the barrel of the Gun?

Never have I ever read a true message from the gun loving psychos of America to the families of the victims of these muderous outrages. While they are crafting their prefunctonary condolences Gun Lovers of America are locking and loading.

Immediately, after Gun Crazies attack Gun Crazy Apologists attack.

Damn Librul Media Never tells you about the hundreds of times gun-owners stop an attack like this, huh huh huh??? Fat Michael Moore should show up to my house and I'll teach him "Gun Control" means using two-hands!

It's as if these real world consequences of their political beliefs are just thought experiments to the gun crazies. Nope, no need to reflect. Their immediate reaction is towards insular "cling to their guns" lashing out, like wounded animals. Usually, accompanied by a bad case of projection as they believe anyone who wants to curb murderous gun violence will "politicize" this tragedy, when in fact, that is precisely what the Professional Gun Lobby have always done post-killing spree.

So, instead of even pausing to question their beliefs, the organized Pro-Gun Establishment will simply label the terrorist "crazy" and "liberal", turn inwards and ramp up the NRA outrage machine over President Obama's Super-Secret Plan to Take their Guns.

And We, the People allow others to make life and death choices for us by allowing gun-loving psychopaths to legalize the Freedom to walk into bars armed to the teeth, purchase extended clip magazines, full-auto capable rifles so that Killers can chase down a black teen or walk into a suburban Pittsburgh yoga studio and kill 3 women to get revenge for all those spurned advances, or attempt to assassinate Congresswoman Gaby Giffords, whiling killing a 9 year old girl and 8 others at an Arizona political rally, or gun down 3 Pittsburgh police officers who President Obama has sent to get their guns, or walk into a Binghamton New York Immigration Center and murder 13 or terrorize a Suburban Denver movie theater.

Fat Al Gore and President Obama are responsible for the Colorade Wildfires

And now in Colorado, President Obama has angered the Rain God with his improper Kenyan, Marxist Black Liberation Theology, Secret Muslin Roots!

Just like with the Gulf of Mexico Right-Wing liars are blaming the President for a disaster.

Either Michelle Malkin and R. Limpballs really do think President Obama is the magic N-word or they take solace in the fact conservatives are so stupid and vile they will believe any stupid propaganda they tell them.

Here's Malkin's take,

As Obama sightsees overhead in this key swing state and surrounds himself with first responders for campaign-ready photo-ops, his supporters on the ground are busy spewing excuses, attacks and death wishes on their political opponents.

These childish toxic morons who receive mounds of money and hours of airtime are the inheritors of the Raygun Tradition. That would be Ronnie Reagan who stated, "The nine most terrifying words in the english langauage are, 'I'm from the Government and I'm here to help.'"

The most stupefiying element is Malkin has a whole category called "envrio-nitwits" on her website. If fat Al Gore wasn't talking about Global Warming the heat and drought wouldn't have happened but since he did he caused those conditions!

Malkin's claims rest on this premise,

Ten years ago, the feds had a fleet of 44 firefighting planes. Today, the number is down to nine for the entire country.

"He wants to hire more government workers. He says we need more firemen... Did he not get the message of Wisconsin? It's time for us to cut back on government and help the American people." Oh darn, please ignore this because Mitt Romney said it...

However from the Denver Post comes this article; Officials disagee on ability of nation's old, thin air tanker fleet,

Heavy air tankers are not a panacea for fighting fires.

They don't extinguish blazes, but they can be used to strategically lay retardant on a fire line to suppress flames and slow the spread of a fire until ground crews arrive.

Tankers are most effective in the initial stages of fighting a wildland fire, able to keep small fires from growing large. Studies have shown that one or two tankers can be as effective as eight large helicopter tankers in the initial attack. In the past, a goal was to have tankers in strategic areas so that they could get to a newly reported fire within 20 to 30 minutes.

A 2009 report by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Office of Inspector General estimated that 150 fires escaped initial attack in 2007 alone, (G_e_G note: When Obama was President!!!) costing the federal government up to $450 million more than it would have spent if the fires were stopped in their earliest stages.

It's impossible to know whether the High Park fire could have been stalled in its early stages on June 9 when the lightning-caused fire blew up.

First signs of the fire were called in to dispatchers about 6 a.m. A smaller single-engine air tanker, which can carry about 800 gallons of retardant, was over the fire by 9 a.m.
A heavy air tanker sent from Grand Junction was on the fire by noon, according to Steve Segin, spokesman for the Rocky Mountain Area Coordination Center. Windy, dry and hot conditions that day blew the fire out of control.

Officials say they are satisfied with the aerial resources attacking the fire, which include five heavy air tankers stationed at the Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport in Broomfield — two CV-580s from an agreement with the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre and three P2Vs under contract through private companies.

The newest plane in the group is 51 years old. The oldest was built in 1953.

That last line would never be quoted by the likes of Michelle Malkin because that would indict Ronnie Raygun and George W(orst President Ever) Bush.

The sickening part of all this is the Republican Party has fought to destroy any Federal program to protect the environment because the Free Market does everything better. Because Fracking Corporations will be better stewards of the lands. Because Global Warming doesn't exist. Because Eric Cantor will not allow Government money for disaster sites until accompanying cuts in Medicaid are passed.

But, Republicans and conservatives miss no opportunity to be vile fiends willing to stoop too any level and willing to exploit any tragedy.
