First, allow me to say that as a veteran journalist and news manager, I’ve traveled throughout Asia, where video games in cities like Tokyo and Shanghai are extremely popular, but guns are not. Politicians including @POTUS have blamed violence on video games for years. This is yet another lie. In fact, data on bananas causing suicides have about the same correlation.
Also, it’s amusing to see the methods each publication takes instead of editorial boards biting the bullet and reacting like grownups.
We the People of the United States need Hypelocval gun laws, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this #Constitution for the United States of America. This means the government belongs to all the people of the USA
The horrible weekend from hell. A white racist gunman who had posted an anti-immigrant screed began shooting on Saturday inside a Walmart killing 20 people and injuring 26 more. A few hours later, other murders. Nine dead in Ohio, with multiple injuries.
We all have a Mother and Father, four Grandparents, eight Great Grandparents, and Sixteen Great-great-grandparents.

50 years following The Woodstock Festival, has Trump's GOP mangled young America's chant of Love, Peace, and Happiness? The grandson of President George HW Bush, who was my former boss wrote that white extremists are a "real and present threat."
The damage is done and POTUS set the tone for Republicans by deriding and, using White House resources to undermine common sense issues including scientific data and avoiding even uttering the phrase.
By the time of elections next year, there are multiple issues high on a list of urgent concerns that the Republicans must deal with. Why is it that so far this year, more than 522 people have died during mass shootings and over 2,040 have been injured? WHY?
Trump kissing up to Communists
Trump attacks on people of color
Trump separating families
US Senator Mitch McConnell used to act like a Republican #Russia hawk for as far as anyone can recall, so what explains blocking election security and gun background check legislation? #RussianMitch or #MoscowMitch are appropriate. Mitch McConnell was the one who stopped in August 2016 any and all reference to the Russians attacking our #American election when @POTUS Barack Obama wanted to warn the entire nation of these clear and present dangers. What explains the following?
- The Deripaska sanctions
- The Russia-tied political contributions
So let me get this straight. Disaster relief for California or Puerto Rico, not much available and gave paper towels. For Russia, AOK.
1995 and 2004 had 5 August hurricanes each! 2005 had two August hurricanes, of course including Katrina, another reminder it’s not just about how busy but how bad. Then 2005 had 10, but the one which did the most political harm was Maria in Puerto Rico.
