We have to look behind the lingo politicians and voters use to justify their stance on issues that affect us.
Let’s look at the language here: “Gun control” vs Gun safety. What does each mean to you?
This has been the subject of one of the greatest pieces of fraud, I repeat the word fraud, on the American public by special interest groups that I have ever seen in my lifetime.

Deflect, deflect, deflect..
And just like that, the easily distracted mediocre media, is all abuzz with a meeting that probably won’t make a bit of a difference..
And the Mueller Stormy stories are knocked off the news…
Everyone also forgets that this might be currently being engineered by Putin…Russia and No, Korea have a relationship… most of No. Korea’s nuclear power is courtesy of the nuclear scientists from the former USSR ..
Kim Jung Un has not even ever met China’s Xi..
And folks think this guy who murdered his uncle and brother because he was so paranoid and worried that they were going to overthrow him, is cowed by a dotard..

What everyone is missing is that the new So. Korea president has always been a pro-No. Korea guy..
Something tells me the wily No. Koreans are setting both the South and your dum-dum, up..
The previous So. Korean President – who’s now headed to jail, treated the North and Kim Jin Un, like mortal enemies..
FAKE NEWS about North Korea!!!!!!
It’s all artifice and gaslighting Sis..
We are drowning in it..

We’ve truly become a banana republic fam..
And the mediocre media is complicit..
MSNBC can’t do any better than rehashed stormy Daniels fuckery & an interview with the coontastic Stacy Dash
Ari Melber needs to be flogged just for that..
He did get her to call herself a clueless person. Poor thing. Too far gone.
Say it isn’t so? Why, Ari? WHY?????
I liked her in ‘Mo Money’. I had no idea she was a loon.
Well fam, looks like you can be the most crooked, immoral, ignorant, racist, anti-Semitic, megalomaniac, sociopathic, narcissistic, treasonous conman colluding with a hostile foreign entity to decimate our fragile union, hard-won democracy, laws, protections and democratic institutions…
As long as you give the wealthy oligarchs a tax break, and fake-promise coal miners, poisoned and now unprotected thanks to reversal of protective regulations, the immediate return of the dying coal industry straining on its last gasps …and sucker former Dem allies – Union heads Leo Gerard and Richard Trumka with a potentially trade war inciting promise of tariffs on imported steel.. that won’t be because backdoor exemptions are being offered to countries that grovel or pay to play with the family business..
And even wheel out the poor coal men and steelworkers as props for your act at the People’s House – on the taxpayer dime too…and go all out with platitudes and fake-smile and over the top patronizing …even offering them a ‘tour’ of the Oval Office and photos and $2 signing pens too..
And voila, treasonous buffoon ‘wins’ and solidifies his ‘hold’.. And while we’re at it, even sleepy money launderer and geriatric crook Wilbur who lied about his net worth, gets props and a shout-out from Leo Gerard … who insists that Wilbur is on their side …and got it done..
We are in trouble fam..
Seriously, on my way home from work, listening to NPR interview some steel worker and his visit to the WH today. I almost pulled over and puked. SMH
Leo Gerard and Richard Trumka ..

Steelworker Union Leader On Why He Supports Trump’s Tariffs On Imports

He pled not guilty …because the alternative would be to flip for Mueller and a plea deal..
But he flips, and Putin will poison him and/or his family.. And he accepts a pardon, and Mueller gets him, because then he can’t plead the 5th.
He’s completely out of options …and between Mueller and a hard Russian place..
He’s probably going to die in jail; but better that than dying from poisoning from dioxin, polonium/nerve gas, a single gunshot …or thrown off a balcony..
https://twitter.com/3ChicsPolitico/status/971877009478574081
Why oh why is the media going along with the nonstop gaslighting and improvisational act by David Dennison aka treasonous buffoon, who keeps pulling stuff out of his you know where simply to deflect and distract from Mueller and his recent flip Georgie Nader, and of course, Peggy Peterson and her attorney outsmarting greasy handbook attorney to corrupt buffoon, Michael Cohen..
Like clockwork, every time Mueller turn up the heat, Donnie orange man POS distracts, and the media goes right there.
Now he’s about to read a letter from Kim Jung Un…as if..
The buffoon forgets that Bill Clinton was personally invited to visit and to secure the release of Lisa Ling’s sister and the other girl..
I bet previous presidents got letters, but not one bragged about it, or used sensitive State secrets to advance their own personal agenda …or deflect from collusion with Russia ..

What cars are made in China fam..?
It’s so funny how you can tell when this bull-shitting dum-dum is repeating almost* verbatim words and whole sentences he’s heard from staff and friends …or stuff that’s been chewed up and spit in his mouth..
And thinking he’s slick, selectively and fleetingly sucking up to and currying favor with random low-info types or greedy oligarchs, varieties of disparate but easily bamboozled or greedily assuaged demographics … by essentially bribing/buying their protection of him, by selling them a worthless bill of goods – entirely for his own aggrandizement, and making a public spectacle and big to do about it too…
And today trying to buy favor, by being extra saccharine-sweet – complete with loud offer to take photos with them in the Oval Office…to which the hard-to read steel workers weren’t as enthused or visibly excited as he’d hoped..
As if they are easily-taken kids, handed free candy or promised tons of it, to get them to like you..
When Mueller, Stormy and her attorney show up, he tries to distract with some grand empty or dangerous and negatively far-reaching gesture..
I’ve told you from the start fam, this self-serving buffoon will burn our White House down before he’ll be dragged out of it..
And the longer they’re in it, and the more they find their footing, understand and are able to navigate their way around things, the harder it’ll be..
Look at Gary Cohn for instance, for all his wealth, he like the whole bunch of supposedly ‘wealthy’ group, got addicted to the People’s House and the awesome power/infrastructure that comes with it..
It’s all hard to give up..
And even harder for a bankrupt, blustering, cash-poor conman and treasonous cohort, who can’t believe their luck, and who like kids who’ve happened upon an open piñata warehouse, are busy lining their pockets as fast as they can by illegally and corruptly exploiting sacred sensitive security structures and access..

Ha. I’m actually surprised he boned her. I would have thought he was just into perverted stuff like in Russia. Amazing.
According to her 2011 interview, they were having unprotected sex too..
A married man …albeit a notoriously adulterous one on his 3rd wife – with whom he’d also cheated with on his 2nd wife …with whom he’d also cheated with on his 1st wife ..
A married man not only sleeping around, but having unprotected sex …And unprotected sex with a porn star …who by profession, has multiple partners …including those she perhaps also has unprotected sex with as part of her job..
That she had absolutely no problem acquiescing to this no protection bit, makes it obvious that perhaps this was something that came quite easily to her – perhaps by virtue of her work..
There are porn stars and prostitutes who swear that they aren’t that careless.. But it’s all so very unsavory …and dangerous..
Even if one doesn’t see the abject immorality of it all..
Can’t honestly apologize for judging the John and the servicer..
If one is a John or slut, they should expect to be shamed..
We as a society …and as women, need to stop blurring some of these lines..
There ought to be no normalizing or ‘de-stigmatizing’ of voluntary slutting..
‘Progress’ doesn’t mean abandoning all sense of decency, common sense and boundaries of responsible behavior..
Society still needs some observance of social mores …and a basic framework of right and wrong, good and bad…
There’s never going to be anything right for instance, about murder, racism, slavery, rape, stealing, incest, paedophilia, infidelity, prostitution..
Well said.
It is just common sense:

Excerpt from this link:
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/07/opinion/parkland-florida-gun-control.html
<"All this is infuriating. But even if the federal government won’t pass meaningful new gun laws, states are doing so. Polls show that voters overwhelmingly favor universal background checks, a 21-year-old age restriction on buying firearms and a ban on high-capacity magazines.
Since the 1970s, the U.S. has engaged unintentionally in an international experiment, relaxing gun laws as the rest of the world has tightened access. Gun advocates argued that more guns would make us safer, but instead the U.S. now has 25 times the gun murder rate of other advanced countries.
"Indeed, since 1970, more Americans have died of gun violence, including murders, suicides and accidents (1.4 million), than in all the wars in American history (1.3 million).
"Whenever there is a mass shooting, there are inspiring individual stories like Anthony’s. But the larger picture is disgraceful: the president and congressional leaders dillydallying on the sidelines, sending “thoughts and prayers” and nothing else.
"This will change only when politicians are more afraid of voters than of the N.R.A."
“This will change only when politicians are more afraid of voters than of the N.R.A.”
Is it really fear or money, greed and power..
Until elected officials can stand on principle …and are willing to lose by standing for something, we’ll have not just the NRA, but other monied interests, with a stranglehold on our politics and politicians..
