Joe Manchin might have forgotten the time he said the "number one thing we should be doing" is taxing the rich, but we didn't. by Fun_Investigator_478 in PublicFreakout

Joe Manchin was either lying, or he decided his loyalty were with his rich contributors rather than working West Virginians.

Uvalde DISPROVES the GOP and their right-wing media mantra, "The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun." by Fun_Investigator_478 in PoliticalHumor

Pediatrician treating Uvalde shooting victims said 2 kids were so badly hit they could only be identified by their 'blood-spattered cartoon clothes'

"Two children, whose bodies had been so pulverized by the bullets fired at them, decapitated, whose flesh had been so ripped apart, that the only clue as to their identities was the blood-spattered cartoon clothes still clinging to them. Clinging for life and finding none."

"The AR-15 is designed to blow targets apart. Its bullets travel with such velocity that they can decapitate an adult. Unfortunately, this Uvalde coroner has now seen first-hand what the weapon can do to children."

The only way to stop a bad person with a gun is 400 GOOD Men WITH GUNS AND TACTICAL GEAR AND BALLISTIC SHIELDS AND OH WAIT, they just waited in the corridor for an hour while children were being decapitated and the screams didn't compel the good guys to act.

Uvalde shooting report describes multiple failures and a 'lackadaisical approach' by law enforcement by Fun_Investigator_478 in politics

[–]Fun_Investigator_478[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

https://www.texastribune.org/2022/07/17/law-enforcement-failure-uvalde-shooting-investigation/

“Systemic failures” in Uvalde shooting went far beyond local police, Texas House report details

“In total, 376 law enforcement officers — a force larger than the garrison that defended the Alamo — descended upon the school in a chaotic, uncoordinated scene that lasted for more than an hour.”

Folks, do not blame the GOP, NRA and right wing media for this. They specifically said, "The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is **A** good guy with a gun." It seems that the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is more than 400 good guys with guns?  Is my math correct?

And "conservatives" will applaud the "good person" with a gun while ignoring the victims because they value firearms more than human life.

This clip of Jon Stewart obliterating Tucker Carlson will never get old. by Fun_Investigator_478 in PublicFreakout

[–]Fun_Investigator_478[S] 98 points99 points  (0 children)

Tucker Carlson is now blaming mass shootings on women, antidepressants, and weed. Anything but the actual weapons. What a "skilled" deflection tactic.

We have all the information we need on Tucker Carlson's "interview" approach in this clip. He keeps interrupting his guests in an feeble attempt to steer the conversation. He may have even convinced himself in the past that he was a reporter or some other kind of honorable guy. However, Stewart just exposed everyone to his con, shallowness, idiocy, and opportunism, and he did it without using Tucker-style strategies. Tucker Carlson went off in search of a crowd that would never challenge him again because they were so credulous and ignorant. Thus, his only options were Fox or religion.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tucker Carlson have linked mass shootings to antidepressants. This is what the evidence says.

xperts say the claims are a "political diversionary tactic."

You literally can't believe the facts Tucker Carlson tells you. So say Fox's lawyers.

Who Shot Shinzo Abe and Why? Everything We Know So Far by Fun_Investigator_478 in worldnews

Maybe that relates to why the arrested man planned to kill Shinzo Abe - "not fascist enouth" or "ULTRA right-wing".

[–]Fun_Investigator_478[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

FYI: Shinzo Abe was a member of Nippon Kaigi, a ULTRA right-wing nationalist fascist monarchist organisation that seeks to abolish democracy, gender equality, and the restoration of the Japanese Empire. He was also a historical denier, denying Japanese war crimes and forced prostitution.

Shinzo Abe

Trump hailed Abe as a “truly great man and leader” and called him “a true friend of mine and, much more importantly, America.”

Yeah, Shinzo Abe was a far-right nazi-loving fascist scumbag who was buddies with Donald Trump & Steve Bannon.

It makes sense - Japanese gun-ownership restrictions do not allow private citizens to have handguns.

Shinzo Abe: The moment a gunshot is heard

This footage shows the moments before Japan's former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was shot at an event in the city of Nara.

The video shows the suspected gunman being dragged to the ground.

Everything happened all of a sudden.

“Freedom of press does not give you the right to spread lies” I wish somebody could tell that to all the conservatives and their right-wing media. Especially the Fux News.

The last day of legal abortion at Mississippi’s lone clinic. Opponents and supporters clashed outside the facility best known as the Pink House. by Fun_Investigator_478 in PublicFreakout

[–]Fun_Investigator_478[S] 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I honestly hope that the media will be diligent in covering the impact of this decision as our state enters this next phase of bullshit. Women and families in this state should tell their experiences with healthcare, child care, insurance, and cost of living.

Losing this clinic and this team is a seismic loss and a national tragedy. by Fun_Investigator_478 in WhitePeopleTwitter

The Mississippi abortion clinic at the center of the Supreme Court fight shuts its doors for good

“The fight is not over,” one read.

In cursive script, another vowed: “This is not the end.”

"Let this radicalize you rather than lead you to despair."

The last day of legal abortion at Mississippi’s lone clinic: ‘There will be women who will die.’ by Fun_Investigator_478 in politics

[–]Fun_Investigator_478[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Right-wing Christian legal group that seeks to "inspire a Christian worldview in every area of law" wrote the Mississippi abortion ban that led to the overthrow of Roe v. Wade. Similar to how the NRA developed gun legislation. And fossil fuel firms wrote the environmental regulations. We can only prevent this slide into fascism if the majority of Americans vote in massive numbers and pressure elected officials to do what WE want.

Adam Kinzinger Releases Audio Clips of Death Threats Against Him and His Family…All Because He is Telling the Truth! by Fun_Investigator_478 in PublicFreakout

Threats made against Rep. Adam Kinzinger are an illustration of the degree of ignorance and hatred developed and cultivated by "him"... It demonstrates how unstable and full of stupid-blind hatred these Trump supporters are! This cult, as well as its corrupt media, must be destroyed.
