Is Steve Scalise (R) LA weapons grade stupid like Lauren Boebert, or just pretending to be?

While families of Uvalde mass shooting victims were testifying in the House, and while witnesses in that hearing invited by the Republicans testified on behalf of the guns, Scalise - a mass shooting victim himself, was in front of a camera telling lies that only America's stupidest, most ignorant could possibly believe.

Scalice stated:


Scalise later claimed “Under the guise of ‘red flag,’ they take away due process." Scalise continued by urging lawmakers to take up policies such as “hardening schools” and finding a way “help kids identify [the signs of a shooting] before it can happen.” He also blamed the “defund the police movement” and other progressive criminal justice reforms, such as the end of cash bail, for encouraging America’s skyrocketing gun sales. “They can’t have faith in their local police department,” Scalise said.

(Neither “defund the police” nor the reforms Scalise mentioned are widespread nor linked to an increase in crime.)

Then take Laurent Boebart (R) CO.


Per Forbes Magazine:


All those rules and regulations, all the X-ray vision they scan you with in the security line at the airport, we didn't have that before 9/11. We didn't have the TSA before 9/11.

Remember the old timey movies when the woman and man would kiss at the airline gateway before the man left on a jet plane and didn't know when he would be back again? That used to happen in real life before 9/11.

How many school prayers does it take to bring a murdered 4th grader back to life? Is the death of 19 school children really a small price to pay for the liberty of owning AR15s?

In some really good news...

Now that Donald Trump has run out of appeals, various courts have ruled that Donald Trump and two of his kids must testify in Letitia James’ probe of the Trump Organization on July 15, 2022.

Here's the best part: If Trump and his family refused to testify, they’d end up right back in contempt of court again, which – as Trump just found out.

If Trump lies, he can be criminally charged for perjury. If he tells the truth, he’ll be incriminating his company, and by extension himself. If he pleads the fifth in order to avoid incriminating himself, James can use Trump’s refusal to defend the Trump Organization as a basis for ruling against it.

It's a no-win situation. Talk about playing 3D chess - good job Leticia James!!!

Notice nary a mention of banning assault rifles.

The J6 hearings will validate that Republicans view treason as heroism - and THAT is why they are a danger to America.

Have you ever noticed that Rightwing thought is the bane of mankind’s existence? When has progress ever been bad for mankind? Inaction, keeping the status quo is not good for anyone. It really isn’t.

Who'd ever think you'd see the day when Liz freakin' Cheney was the hero? And yet there she was, reading Donald Trump for filth. The Congresswoman brought it!

As much as I despise a lot of her policy positions, she's clearly a real patriot.
And she's also GONE because Wyoming is going to give her the boot as soon as they possibly can.
And behold the garden of ****s she has to give.

30 years ago, Donald Trump abandoned his 9-year-old daughter Ivanka to run off with one of his mistresses.
Last night, Ivanka exacted her revenge

Republicans say they support gun safety measures - yet oddly enough, Republicans never vote to make these measures law.

20 million Americans tuned in to watch the J6 committee’s first hearing. Three million tuned in to watch Fox News’ rebuttal to the hearing.
