1. They love their guns more than their children

[guillaumeb]

3. They love their own children.

But yours or mine, not so much.

[Angry Dragon]

5. Their school could be next

[guillaumeb]

10. The example of Steve Scalise illustrates their blindness,

or the control that their donors exercise over them.

[Angry Dragon]

12. yes it does

[turnitup]

8. cause you think

all the children's parents are democrats? You don't think any republican mom and dad lost a child?

[guillaumeb]

11. Welcome to DU.

I think that many GOP politicians care only for their own interests, and the opinions of their owners.

[turnitup]

13. thanks for the welcome

and the clarification

[guillaumeb]

19. No problem.

Gun violence strikes everyone. And in my view, ignoring the solution that most countries have already adopted is willful blindness.

[gratuitous]

4. That word was used only in the subject line

First, welcome to DU, where "Repukes" is a term of endearment for our friends on the other side of the aisle.

Second, the use of a word in the subject line of a post here doesn't have nearly the reach or influence you might think. We're a very small and largely ignored corner of the internet.

Third, the momentary hiccup in polling numbers reported last week when Republicans fleetingly gained parity in national preference has vanished like snowfall in July.

6. LOL

[Eliot Rosewater]

7. We?

Wave is coming, count on it

[Angry Dragon]

9. It has been reported that upwards of 82% of the tax cuts

are for the corporations and the wealthy
foreign investors benefit more than you or I

14. Dont waste your breath. Rightwingers like this one are married to trump's lies and

will go down the drain with him.

Paul Ryan has come out and admitted he is going after Medicare, Medicaid and SS and yet these complete fucking moronic tools still support him and them.

[guillaumeb]

17. A very ironic username.

So to speak.

[Angry Dragon]

21. I miss what you are saying

[guillaumeb]

22. Well, what you might not know is...............

Trump is the epitome of politeness.

[guillaumeb]

15. Assuming that you have followed events and Trump from the election until now,

you should have seen all of the times that Trump has attacked his GOP opponents, Hillary Clinton, and anyone who does not love Trump as Trump loves himself.

[dweller]

16. yup but

I prefer the term "treasonous bastards"

[hatrack]

20. I prefer "Traitorous Cocksuckers" . . .

Your mileage may vary.

[TheMastersNemesis]

23. Right On.Every Time You See A GOP Law Maker Just Greet Them With.How Are You Racist Cocksucker?.

[Yonnie3]

25. I was a low count poster who objected to using the term "fluffer"

to describe certain 'Rump enablers.

My objection was that it was too nice a term.

[hlthe2b]

24. "President Trump since he assiduously avoids the use of disparaging terms for Democrats."????

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!

Oh, BROTHER

18. A government is supposed to protect its citizenry

Our current government is at war with us and attacks us. Our children are no longer safe. The NRA, the GOP, and all levels of government are not keeping us safe and have failed us.

This is real, not a manufactured issue over kneeling during a song. Kneeling during the national anthem has nothing to do with keeping us safe.
