    Dropping a peace symbol to show solidarity with the masses does nothing except feed your id. You are investing too much of your ideology in social media virtue signaling.






    I must have missed where Europa mentioned anything "about taking guns away" .

    Oppressors can tyrannize only when they achieve a standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed populace.

    Mass shootings account for 2% of all gun deaths.  Most are suicides.  After every mass shooting, sorrow and fury are followed by nothing significant done to prevent the next horror.  According to Harvard school of public health, the research is overwhelmingly clear that more guns mean more gun deaths in states and countries. 

    High gun ownership rates do not reduce gun deaths but tend to increase it.   A few people might use a gun to successfully defend themselves,   But vast majority would fail or cause more violence instead of preventing it.

    According to Epidemiologic review, 130 studies found gun control works in reducing gun violence.  Most Americans support tougher gun control according to Pew research.  Other countries have had huge success with gun control.

    It's a daunting task in this country, would never happen unless the mass shooting reach the really boiling point, very unfortunately.

    High gun ownership rates do not reduce gun deaths but tend to increase it.   A few people might use a gun to successfully defend themselves,   But vast majority would fail or cause more violence instead of preventing it.

    According to Epidemiologic review, 130 studies found gun control works in reducing gun violence.  Most Americans support tougher gun control according to Pew research.  Other countries have had huge success with gun control.

    It's a daunting task in this country, would never happen unless the mass shooting reach the really boiling point, very unfortunately.

    Trump administration is the enemy of worker rights.    More has been done to hurt workers than to help them according to chief of AFC-CIO union serving over 12 million members.  Trump has moved to limit the power of labor unions.  He allows companies to limit eligibility for overtime pay and to fire workers on the basis of sexual orientation. 

    Number of workplace safety inspectors have fallen to the lowest level.  He has opposed increasing minimum wage.  Real wages are down because they are gobbled up by higher housing and healthcare costs.  His budgets cut spending on medicare and medicaid. 

    National farmers union complain Trump's trade war is destroying their livelihood.  Under new USMCA deal, labor regulations are unenforceable which would be a windfall for corporations but a disaster for workers.

    Trump said today he has never heard of a Category 5 hurricane.  


    Except for those 4 times in the last 2 years that he tweeted about not knowing about.

    Stable genius!

    You can not possibly make up the following. Governor Pritzker of the late, great state of Illinois signed a bill on 8 August that mandates students must learn the contributions of LGBTQ people by the time they finish 8th grade!

    Even though the US has been dysfunctional under Trump, we are still the first country to arrive to any disaster in the world.

    These first responders are very special people.

    Good ., he's been in Congress for 40 years ...he's serving his 21st term....Swamp creature...made being in office a profession..these seats in Congress were not meant to be life time jobs..

    If,the President of the United States can be limited to a maximum service of eight years, there is no reason why members of Congress should not have limited terms also..

    Once these people get elected they spend half their time finding positions for those who helped them get elected & the other half of their time is spent running for re-election. 

    It's a major reason why nothing if anything gets done.

    He has plenty of time to visit the Hurricane Dorian victims in Alabama.

    Trump lies constantly even when unnecessary.  National weather service debunks Trump's false claim that Alabama is in the path of hurricane.  He refuses to admit his mistake but instead pressures NOAA to try to save face for him.  For a dictator, blind loyalty is more important than competence. 

    Trump spend time at his golf course while hurricane approaches according to Politico.  Over $100 million in taxpayers money has been wasted on Trump's hobby according to Huffpost. He is using public money to line his own pocket.  According to NBC, Trump spends 295 days of his first 956 days in office at his own hotels and resorts.  Congress is investigating Barr, Pence and other Trump associates for stays at Trump hotels.  Possible violations of constitution's emolument clause.   IRS has prosecuted government officials for lesser offenses.  Trump administration is among the most corrupt in decades.

    74% of economists are concerned about Trump's policies and expect an US recession by 2021 according to National association for business economics.  Earlier, Trump's council of economic advisors warned that his policies would harm US economy.    His mismanagement may end the longest economic expansion in US history started by Obama. 

    National farmers union condemn Trump for making things worse.  Loan delinquencies have hit record highs.  This is a sign of financial struggle amid Trump's trade war that he insists would be easy to win.  Despite billions in subsidies for farmers, it wouldn't be enough to compensate for markets they have lost as other countries replace the US. 

    International tourism is booming but not in the US.   Consecutive years of declines in foreign tourists according to US travel association.  Loss of millions of visitors, billions in revenue and thousands of jobs.  According to Pew research, overall image of US has suffered a sharp decline since Trump took office.

    Farmers suffered a severe drop in total revenues during the Obama years, collapsing from $484 billion in 2013 to $412 billion in 2016.

    The farmers of America overall are doing quite well.

    The Department of Agriculture recently forecast that net farm income will rise nearly 5 percent this year, to $88 billion. That growth comes on top of increases in both 2017 and 2018 and is, just for the record, faster than the overall growth of the economy.
