  1. Don't miss PBS news hour for Sunday May 28th to see the story of a World War Two veteran who remembers how it felt to play taps after the final battles in Europe had come to an end. As we come into Memorial Day, may we all truly remember the real reason that we have this "holiday" as a day of remembrance and commemoration. 🗽

  2. Imagine the USA as a place where angry crazy bikers could just punch each other in the face and leave it at that. Imagine that charming retro memory. Comprehensive federal gun safety legislation is overdue.

  3. Wow, offensively bad memory you have So the children of Uvalde were not "nice people"? The shoppers at Allen and Buffalo were not nice people? The children of Sandy Hook and Nashville? Please think before you type. Absolutely offensive comment.

  4. Be careful what you wish for. Tossing away experience is not always a good thing, especially because so few know what government is. Do we really want to dump the ones who actually know what they are doing? We absolutely need a tool for accountability in between election cycles, just not sure that term limits are the best tool. 🗽

  5. Yet it is never illegal for CEOs to take obscene bonuses. Hmm....

  6. Very true. I have seen video with Ike speaking frankly about those realities to the nation, and why that tax structure was necessary and important. I guess not every president is as popular as Ike was? I think Reagan was the beginning of the end of that type of fairness, and that's when the wealth gap started to become a problem. Reagan certainly announced his anti union stance with the air traffic controllers strike, left NYC to suffer through the 1980s as they recovered from bankruptcy, and was president while the term rust belt was coined. Hope I've got the history on that correct. But we are not living in the 1980s, so let's get a tax structure that taxes billionaires fairly and get back to closing the wealth gap. The GI Bill and the union movement were good steps in that process; let's create some solutions for 2023/2024.

  7. The wealth gap in action. What are we doing as a nation to close the gap? Cutting food stamps? REALLY?

  8.  @shiftymcgee9359  Read "Profiles in Courage". It didn't used to be this way. Voting your conscience used to be a thing. Actually, Kinzinger and Chaney and approx ten more just voted their conscience regarding Jan 6th, and the nation was truly moved. However, the GOP power structure betrayed them, and GOP voters allowed themselves to be dragged by their noses to vote them out. Until the GOP cleans out their party, we will have these problems. Not sure that term limits will solve the failure of courage, conscience and ethics.

  13. In your world, everything is a weapon. What a horrible way to live. In my world, there are positive things to engage in. Try pushing yourself away from your keyboard more often. Sad.

  16. Huzzah for Amtrak. I really feel that they are doing a safe, professional job with travel. Could be even better if infrastructure dollars can get the USA to high speed rail. 🚅

  17. Wow, so frustrating when people have not been paying attention for months and YEARS. Defaulting on the debt limit versus a government shutdown, not the same thing AT ALL. The default crashes the stock market, takes money from your 401k, and sets off world wide market disruptions. 1929 on steroids. Do you understand now? Are you listening this time? However, both tactics are ridiculous and make us look unhinged to the rest of the globe. Our enemies laugh at us when we behave this way. Elect people who understand that governing is an actual job, not an opportunity to create content for CSPAN. 💙🌊💙

  18. It's time to draft a new amendment to enshrine public safety in the Constitution. Comprehensive federal gun safety legislation is overdue.

  19. You mean the president who passed so much legislation? Hmm....

  20. Yes, because the Vietnam War was never declared by Congress, Vietnam veterans were treated horribly at every turn. I think they declared it to be a "police action."? What a scam. I hope the latest legislation about burn pit health impacts at least finally tries to do something about Agent Orange, but I don't know? There should be some way to backtrack on GI Bill type benefits in education, small business start up funds, and housing, perhaps for survivors if the veteran cannot utilize the benefit? It's hard to even have the conversation as a nation on how to backtrack and repair the harm done to Vietnam veterans, because most people don't want to face it. Please be well and stay safe. A new Congress might be open to the conversation again. I know words are hollow. Please stay safe. We need you to be with us here, so that your authentic voice can shame those in government who MUST act now. Please stay safe. 🗽

  21. Wow, look at who arrives in the toxic comments universe, an offensive creep with no respect for the deceased. Please speak to your therapist on how to become a human being. The angels hear your disgusting bile. God doesn't like ugly.

  23. The second amendment has outlived its usefulness to the nation if it cannot protect innocent children. There are no Redcoats, we have the National Guard. It's time to draft a new amendment to enshrine public safety in the Constitution. The second amendment refers to the people, the community, the society, not a person, an individual who wants to own any weapon anywhere and do anything. Justice Scalia stated in Heller that gun rights are not unlimited. Bruen provides for gun regulations. Read the amendment, read the controlling opinions. Repeal PLCAA to restore liability to gun manufacturers, and their own lawyers will insist on gun safety protocols at point of sale to demonstrate due diligence in court proceedings. Enough. We don't need to live this way. The only people who want this to continue are obscenely wealthy gun manufacturers.

  24. Actually, I have provided a detailed breakdown of comprehensive gun safety legislation numerous times, even in specific response to your nonsense. You seem to spend a lot of time chained to your keyboard, so... Here it is again, don't forget to write it down this time, okay? Comprehensive federal gun safety legislation might include: training, permits, gun safes, age limits, mental health assessment for each purchase, red flags, comprehensive background checks with enough time to fully vet the purchaser not a 15 minute chat, waiting periods, magazine limits. Did you write that down? Good. Because the next time your name pops up, we're going to have a quiz. That's one possible list, but there are other important items, like addressing gun owner suicides, private sales, gun show loopholes, etc. Many professionals and survivors who work in the gun control space have additional thoughts. Because Congress is so difficult, comprehensive gun reform would probably be split across several bills. Florida used two measures (red flag laws and increasing the age limit to 21) after Parkland and saw improvement. If Tennessee had red flag laws, they might have prevented Nashville. I believe Tennessee's governor is working on red flags now, after the lives have been lost. Approximately 19 states have red flag laws, 10 states ban AR 15. However, the patchwork of state laws is clearly not working, so a comprehensive federal approach is likely to be more effective. The majority of the USA population supports gun safety legislation, so you guys are just on the wrong side of history. In addition, a separate matter is the repeal of PLCAA to restore liability to gun manufacturers for their extremely dangerous products. Then their own lawyers will likely insist on gun safety protocols at point of sale to demonstrate due diligence in court proceedings. Did you write the details down this time? Good.

  25. If you want details on truck legislation, I think you should look for another thread. This was meant to be a comment about the most recent mass shooting in New Mexico. So shootings, not trucks. Understand?

  26. And if some moderate Democrats join in, it will defeat MTG and company in their constant attempts to burn the whole nation down. However, we need to move to normal budget negotiations. Biden's budget was prepared months ago. McCarthy's budget never happened, only a "framework". Please, GOP, government is an actual job, not dramatic content creation for CSPAN.

  27. Beware who you are actually supporting. Please read history. A third party yielded Nixon in 1968. The pumpkin headed grifter would love to see independent third party candidates split the vote so that he can wiggle his way back into office. Vote carefully and wisely. This is our nation, not a game. 🗽
