I want to congratulate the NRA on their great return on investment

They bought enough fuckwads in the Senate to kill the weakest fucking gun bill that could possibly have been brought up for a vote.

I have a particularly vituperative middle finger extended to Ted Cruz for being the fuckwadiest fuckwad among some world class fuckwads.

And the Democrats better lay low and keep their mouths shut. I don't need any shrugs and "we didn't have the votes" bullshit.

and then all the soundbytes won't matter at all.

Shame that thousands will die and tens of thousands will be wounded til then.

The dream lives on.

every war has battles.
wave on wave on wave on wave on lost

til the war is won.

Think of Operation Neptune.

We also need one dollar more in every district than the NRA provides.

Reinterpret the 2nd. It's coming but it might be 5 to 10 years.

Perhaps Supreme Court Justice Obama will write the consenting decision at that time.

The SCOTUS does not reverse itself very often.

Weren't you posting about tough gun control being a sure thing a month or two back?

It's that kind of hyperbolic BS that makes people weary of your claims.
