The reason that I’m happy that Trump survived the assassination attempt is that America cannot and will not survive this period of darkness and shame if Trump is for whatever reason buried and, by a huge number of hateful and ignorant voters, martyred.
As a country, we either inspect and come to understand what has happened over the last decade or will be stuck in this stupidity in perpetuity.
“In perpetuity” more actually means “until we’ve become irrelevant on the world stage.” When and if it becomes clear that the U.S. has permanently lost whatever moral character it once possessed, when we’ve become an admitted ally of Russia, when we’ve become inextricably linked to the other most murderous regimes of the world, we will have no more authority on this planet than Chad or Paraguay.
This is precisely where we deserve to be.
Obviously, this isn’t a real human being, though there are tens of millions with this perspective, so let’s treat him as if he were an actual guy.
No one’s going to hate you, because everyone with a brain supports border control and law enforcement.
You are, however, running the risk of being regarded as a moron. There are hundreds of points of domestic and international law, reason, and humanity that are being addressed every day along these lines.
Why don’t you go on keepin’ those doggies moving, and let the rest of us do our best to figure out how to treat immigrants legally and humanely?
The guy who sent me this writes Could not be any clearer than that.
We’ve all heard the adage, “If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.”
It has a nice ring to it, but it really doesn’t hold water in the real world, where counties with strict gun laws, e.g., Japan, England, and Australia have very low rates of violent crime.
Note: these countries don’t have an NRA, a fabulously wealthy lobbying organization that controls their lawmaking apparatus.
Moreover, outside the United States, it’s very hard to find a place where a potentially mentally unstable person can go into a store and walk out with a weapon of war, capable of killing 50+ people each minute.
