"SNIP....

“A growing number of Democrats are calling on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to cancel the chamber’s August recess so that they can take up gun control legislation in the wake of two mass shootings this weekend,” NBC News reports.

“Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called on the Republican leader to end the chamber’s break to vote on a universal background check bill after the two shootings – one in Dayton, Ohio and another in El Paso, Texas – left at least 29 dead and 53 injured in a matter of just 13 hours. The Senate is currently in recess until September.”

1. :) Humor out of tragedy.

Here's some truth in humor:



In your heart, you know he's reich.

[OrlandoDem2]

2. Add election security to that. nt

[snowybirdie]

3. He can't now

He fell and fractured his shoulder. Poor thing!

[malaise]

4. And just like that

He had a fall

[Hermit-The-Prog]

7. Cadet Bone Spurs must've advised him

Moscow Mitch is afraid of his personal Waterloo.

[calimary]

15. Mooching off the taxpayers for the outstanding health care WE pay for but don't get.

Moocher Moscow Mitch.

[malaise]

16. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Taxpayers should be able to find out if he really fell

[Traildogbob]

18. Subpena the x-rays

We paid for em. Lying is so easy for this entire GOP, all crooks, all fake, all cowards. Who the hell keeps rolling him back off the top of his shell. Fuck you. Leave him there to choke on rotting lettuce, picked by migrant workers, saturated in roundup. MAGA.

[malaise]

19. Now tell us how you really feel

[Traildogbob]

20. Not enough words

I hate the turtle. And damnit, they live forever.

[malaise]

21. Join the line

[sheshe2]

27. Kentucky Bourbon.

He must be swilling the stuff.

[Thekaspervote]

5. Good for Schumer... he's doing what he can!

[Hortensis]

9. Yes. :) For sure this IS an action. That it can only call for

Republicans to lead reform of our gun laws, knowing they have no intention of disarming their wingnuts, is a direct function of the power the electorate gave our reps. Or more specifically a direct function of those who claim passionately to want gun reform but sabotaged all chance of it by not voting Democrat. Subsequent deaths always bring them to mind.

I like Abe on the subject since the anti-gun passions of some often seem akin to a secular religion.

“I care not for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.” ― Abraham Lincoln

6. Oh wait -- he just conveniently dislocated his shoulder. nt

[real Cannabis calm]

8. recommended to publicize

[Vinca]

10. It's a good political ploy, but of course nothing will come of it.

On the off chance McConnell suddenly had a pang of conscience and did, most of the GOP prefer their NRA funding over the safety of their constituents.

[bucolic_frolic]

11. Mitch has a Non-Rotating Arm (NRA) from his broken shoulder

That's his excuse for not calling the Senate back - NRA

This is bone spurs in a different joint

[malaise]

17. You win the thread

[applegrove]

28. Ding ding ding. Winner!

[ffr]

12. I suppose if there was a serial mass murder spree in KY, he'd get right on it.

But only 29 with 53 injured in 13 hours. That sounds like acceptable losses of American life to any conservative.

[BigmanPigman]

13. # EMERGENCY SESSION NOW!

We are not falling for your "falling" and shoulder boo boo. You are Murderer Mitch and have American blood on your hands. Your BS excuses will not fly (poor thing).

[trof]

14. FFC

Fat Fucking Chance

[DFW]

22. And of course he WOULD have been glad to

If it just hadn’t been for that pesky fall...

[aeromanKC]

23. Not an excuse. Get your ass back to D.C.!!

Others have made it back to D.C. for a vote with much worse.

[lillypaddle]

24. Yeah, right

MoscowMitch ain't gonna do ANYTHING to help. POS. Hope his shoulder pain is unbearable and they don't give him any meds.

[SCVDem]

25. A hero turns back to pick up children under fire

Moscow Mitch has a sad because he is being called names!

Too much bourbon and he fell on his face.

Get back to work you lazy prick!

BTW, have a few opioids for the pain.

26. Turtle has zero interest in what dems want. he's in safe seat and one party rule is his obsession.
