[kpete]

Schumer and Pelosi joint statement: "It took less than three hours for the President to back off his call for stronger background check legislation. When he can’t mention guns while talking about gun violence, it shows the President remains prisoner to the gun lobby and the
NRA”

1. Someone answer me this...

The NRA was near bankruptcy three months ago, with in-fighting, corruption and sleaze everywhere...and yet TODAY, in the wake of more gun violence and death, they are somehow STILL a major adversary?

The NRA is an EXCUSE, a BOOGEYMAN that the GOP gets immense mileage out of...they use it on their own to demand fealty, and they use it in the media as a scape goat and target.

The NRA is not the problem. The GOP is the problem, period...full stop.
Moscow Mitch and Little Donnie 2 Scoops ARE the problem.

4. Prisoner - a very appropriate description of this president.

Prisoner to Putin.

Prisoner to the gun lobby.

Prisoner to the NRA.

5. Every newspaper and every news broadcast

needs to show a list of how much each politician has received from the NRA not just recently, but since they took office. Follow the money, it will reveal the truth.

6. She's assuming

that they are unwilling prisoners. They could, of course, stop being "prisoners" anytime they want.
