American politicians blaming school shootings on anything other than easy access to guns (any%)

Explains all the school shootings in those other countries that allow abortion and evolution.

Never for even a millisecond buy the lie that they don’t see the absurdity in their reasoning.

Pretty standard Republican beliefs. What I always find odd is their incredibly romanticized, rosy view of the past - apparently back in the Good Ol’ Days, there was no murder, rape, physical or sexual abuse, wars, lying, stealing or horrific institutions like slavery (I assume he’d say it was actually a good thing) because Americans at all times revered the Lord, so of course they didn’t do any of that.

Looking at election results, the vast majority of Republican voters live in rural or at least suburban areas. Those feature both low population densities and isolation. This can make the crime rate in instances of violent crime per year low compared to an urban area with the same crime rate per capita. It also means that when someone does her killed, The average distance in feet (or miles) from the crime scene to your house is larger. This can affect perception of crime a lot

Can we just disolve as a nation already? Start an auction state by state to different countries?
Clearly we cannot manage the simple act of self governance. The experiment is over and we failed.

Honestly I’m here for a CA/OR/WA Western seaboard alliance. Hawaii can go back to being governed by natives but can ally with us.

3.6t + .3t + .73t = 4.63t using 2022 nom GDP
Which would make the Western Seaboard the #3 economy in the world.

I think some of the northeastern states could likely form a similarly powerful and cohesive country.
Alberta can join Montana and the Dakotas if they hate Canada so much.
Maybe BC could join the Western Seaboard, too.
It’ll probably never happen… but who knows? The relative stability of countries and international borders is a recent phenomenon.

I’m all for this too. The Western landlocked states would be screwed not having access to the Pacific ports as well.

Laughs in Colorado
That’s a nice Imperial Valley agricultural industry you got there, it’d be a shame if we just dammed the Colorado at the Utah border.
Unless CA could convince OR/WA to give them more water, the inland states are critical for freshwater here.

This was the plan from the Maga house members from the start. Suck Mccarthy so hard he agrees to a one member vote for ouster. Vote him out months later. Then put in your Maga cuck.

He does everything wrong. As a house speaker, it’s not his job to bolt out his beliefs. As a christ, it is not his role to judge.
