"We have a mental health crisis in this country, of which I plan to do absolutely nothing about."

Dear GQP - if you’re so concerned about this country’s mental health, why don’t you work to improve access to mental health services, and subsidize them through the government? Why don’t you create free mental health services accessible by anyone whenever they want them?

Until then, shut the fuck up. You won’t do anything about the country’s terrible mental health, so, we have to solve the gun crisis a different way - taking the guns away. Your thoughts and prayers have done jack shit.

1. As far as I'm concerned it's the republicans who are the ones with mental health care problems!

2. Beto is the only one in line on that whole stage.

Abbott and Patrick desperately want to point the finger at Mental Health, which they neither fund, nor believe in. They hide their mental illness behind God--both of them.

All those cowards, phat fucks fearful of change, on that stage, waiting to shoot everyone.

4. Yes, we do.

And a huge part of it is people obsessed with getting war weapons that make mincemeat out of human bodies.

This is also further stigmatizing mental illness. If you’re not going to provide the community resources to address it, then you’re using it as way to deflect from the real problem — lax gun laws and the easy availability of guns.

This presser is one of the most hideous things I’ve seen.

5. The GOP and US corporations ruined mental health treatment decades ago.

Cut off funding private and public.
