  1. Fox is already trying to deflect blame on video games and Hollywood movies for the increasing number of mass shootings in this country. As if other countries don't have the same video games, and watch the exact same Hollywood movies, yet they don't have to send their children off to school worried that they may never see them again. Fox knows that it is partially responsible for the level of hatred and bigotry that motivates these white nationalists. If you read their manifestos, it sounds like the transcript from any of the Fox opinion shows. And now they have the unmitigated gall to say that video games are to blame.

  2. McConnell have proven over the years that he has the moral compass of a weather vane. When it truly matters, McConnell has failed to do the right thing. December 6, 2012, that was the day Moscow Mitch made history, by filibustering his own proposal on the Senate floor. Mitch McConnell, in an effort to bluff Democrats, demanded a straight up or down vote on a measure that would give President Obama the authority to raise the debt ceiling. The GOP calculation was that some Dems would vote against it, proving Dem disunity on the debt ceiling. But then the maneuver backfired, forcing McConnell to filibuster the proposal he’d previously wanted subjected to a straight vote just a few minutes ago. Moscow Mitch apparently did not think Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid would take him up on his offer, which would have allowed McConnell to portray President Obama’s desire for such authority as something even Democrats opposed. Reid objected at first, but told McConnell he thought it might be a good idea. After Senator Reid consulted with Dems, and they reviewed the proposal, Reid came back to the floor and proposed a straight up-or-down vote on the idea, just like McConnell had asked for. McConnell immediately objected.😲 McConnell was betting that some Democrats would vote against the move, but when Democrats called his bluff, he folded like a paper airplane. McConnell was forced to turn around and say "I object," filibustering his own suggestion.  Moscow Mitch basically objected to himself. 😂 Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) was incredulous, and later stated: " This may be a moment in Senate history, when a Senator made a proposal, and when given an opportunity for a vote on that proposal, filibustered his own proposal."

  3. Lefty Jones Oh I have read some of their comments, or as much as I can stomach. It's a combination of Russian bots, and Trump cultists who are suffering from self-induced delirium.
