    I say “almost certainly black” because kids as young as 12 were out on a downtown city street, unsupervised, at 11:36 p.m. the night before Easter;

    Eeeeeat shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

    Do liberals actually care about mass shootings or do they just hate white men?

    Liberals don’t care about mass shootings. They just want to control people.

    Do democrats care about mass shootings? Because we could lower gun violence by legalizing all drugs. Do you hear of liquor stores shooting each other up over territory much these days?

    So whats the hold up democrats? Prove your dedication to lowering gun violence and end the war on drugs. Clearly states can legalize marijuana, so you don’t need to wait for federal reform.

      The war on drugs is historically championed by conservatives, as it was originally Reagan’s thinly veiled cover for persecuting the black and hippie communities.

      Biden has pardoned thousands of non-violent drug offenders. What’s the next step you’d like to see? Be specific.

      Oh evil dems, why won’t you fix 100% of america overnight?

      You know why? Because every time a dem is elected they have to prioritize PULLING THE FUCKING COUNTRY OUT OF THE ECONOMIC DITCH THE PAST ADMINISTRATION HAS LEFT US IN. Are you 12?

      Even a child should still remember the economic shithouse Trump left us in.

      You don’t remember 2008 when the economy was fucked and Obama had to restore trust in entire segments of the economy?

      Apparently you’re not a fan of history, you’d know it’s hardly an isolated event - Clinton fixing up the fuckups of Bush, FDR literally rebuilding the economy?

      How is it that you’re so very vociferous about Drug reform and so very ignorant about everything else? Yeah, it’s important, but it’s on a list of other MUCH MORE IMPORTANT priorities, and also, it’s the conservatives fighting it.

      So tired of idiots acting like the dems have to fix everything every damned time they take power - how about conservatives not fucking up the nation for a few terms for a change?

        People also forget Obama’s administration had to meet with and coordinate a plan for the Great Recession with the prior Administration before Inauguration Day because it was that bad and they didn’t know what to do.

        Obama literally got a headstart because of how screwed we were after W.

          remember how dark it got just wondering what would be left of the economy after so many failures? And Obama came in and set things right. But he wore a tan suit, the crime of the century.

          I think they reminisce about the racism and sexism, and just forget how bad things got because their racist sexist garbage was in the house.

          And they’d happily do it again, run the country right into the ditch if it meant they could spit on POC, immigrants and anyone else they could OTHER. They’re just that petty, dim, and vindictive.
