Conservatives wouldn't know the meaning of the word "freedom" if it jumped up and bit them.

So let me get this straight: you want freedom but at the same time, you go scorched earth on anyone who dares to disrespect the national anthem. Which is literally the exact opposite of freedom. You can't have it both ways, fuck faces.

Armageddon Update: Civil War? Ha ha ha!



Titus nails it again! Civil Wars take years, cost thousands and even hundreds of thousands of lives, rarely result in any real change, and the ramifications can last decades and even centuries later. The fact that Trump and his wannabe Nazi goons are going there is insane. Oh and also they already lost more lives than the actual Civil War by denying COVID. So there's that.

There's low, and then there's Newsmax, who is lower than low.

Abbott calls Texas school shooting a mental health issue but cut state spending for it

Gov. Greg Abbott said Wednesday that the Uvalde school shooter had a "mental health challenge" and the state needed to "do a better job with mental health" — yet in April he slashed $211 million from the department that oversees mental health programs.

In addition, Texas ranked last out of all 50 states and the District of Columbia for overall access to mental health care, according to the 2021 State of Mental Health in America report.

"We as a state, we as a society, need to do a better job with mental health," Abbott said during a news conference at Robb Elementary School, where a gunman shot and killed 19 children and two teachers on Tuesday.

His remarks came just a day after an outraged Connecticut senator called out lawmakers opposed to gun control who seek to blame mental illness for the most recent school shooting and others before it.

Greg Abbott: He had a mental health crisis! We need better mental healthcare!

Also Greg Abbott: *slashes $200 million from Texas' mental health departments*

Texas: *ranks 50th out of 50 in mental health care*

Fuck him.

The GOP: Because it's much easier to kill people than it is to keep them alive!

The NRA: Because the problems facing America today have nothing to do with guns!

Can you imagine the outrage?

If democrats held their annual political action conference in another country because we were cozying up to a leader that our nightly talk show told us was a good role model? We'd never hear the end of it and conservatives would accuse us of being "in bed with" that leader. They would hold multiple investigations and trials.

This should not be allowed to stand. This is totally unacceptable and a new low from them. All from the party that claims to be "America First!!! God Jesus Bible Flag Gun 2nd Amendment!!!!".

The comments in this tweet from Morgan Freeman are literally everything wrong with America.

The gun nuts are in denial, delusional, and dangerous. They really think the only solution to a gun problem is more guns. It's fucking scary.
