Faux News Anchors Tripping Over Their Proverbial D***s

Laura Ingraham: that whole Buffalo racist massacre is nothing but hoopla, created by the leftist media.

Tucker Carlson: so what? more than 100 Americans shot over the weekend, look there, this has nothing to do with me promoting racist replacement theories. Speaking of which, why doesn't DeSantis ban Fox, because they promote racist theories?

Yes, but right beneath all the distraction, deflection and strawmen is one undeniable fact: Firearms are a leading cause of death in this country and we stand alone as western nation in this way.

We'll argue ad nauseum Carlson, the GOP, the "good guys," gun control, gun regulation, gun bans. We'll blame assault rifles and bullets and body armor and Twitter.

But we won't blame guns. Why is the house flooding? Who knows? It may take a couple days to isolate the issue, but in the meantime, you turn off the water main.

This will require a Constitutional challenge, at the same level as overturning Roe v Wade. The current SCOTUS will take on the latter, but will never consider the former.

@Northwest They'd never touch it, though it requires only a re-interpretation of the issue.

This country, for all its possibilities, is not a nation that cares for its children. Roe v Wade isn't about children. The gun issue isn't about children. If this nation cared, we'd have neonatal health systems in place for in-need mothers. We'd demand fair treatment of all children, not just those whose sperm and egg met in a parking lot on US soil. We'd fund early education and nutritional programs. We'd educate children to become citizens of the world, not the spotlight in the room. And we'd easily and swiftly remove the single item causing the most childhood deaths in the nation.

Government doesn't care for women, of children, for any minority. It doesn't have to because we gave up our seat on the bord years ago through laziness and apathy.

@Graylight Agree. Look at how long it took us to implement something as basic as the ACA, and the outrage over that! and most of the outrage came from the people who need it the most, just because socialism.

Basic human needs are not recognized by half the nations, because they can't see past political narrative. That's our national shame. Worse, Cheeto Benito became president on a platform of repealing the ACA, and that's not even single payer system, it only removed the pre-existing conditions restrictions, and policy caps.

What the fuck is wrong with us?
