"The 1994 assault weapons and high-capacity magazines bans worked. And if I am elected president, we're going to pass them again – and this time, we'll make them even stronger," Biden wrote in a New York Times op-ed published Sunday.
Good morning TOD. I was listening to Donny Deutsch Saturday night when he gave the Dems another ‘spot on’ messaging. I will include that in my tweets to them. I got an email from Nancy Pelosi wanting me to tell her what I want the Dems to focus on. When I got to the place where I could comment further, I went on a rant about MESSAGING! Year and year after year and they have never learned. Makes me furious.
Amen to that. They don’t want to be like Republicans. But, I say it’s time to bring it on. They have soooo much material. Attach Mitch and Trump at the hip to kill two birds with one stone.

The core tenet of Trumpism for men is being a dick. Millions of pathetic men wish they could be terrible people without consequence. They admire that in Trump. To them masculinity is being an asshole. Racist. Sexist. Mean. Cruel. Saying and taking what you want.

“For the last 3 years I have fully supported this President. Recently he has said things that divide the country in a way that is unacceptable. So I didn’t pass the 100% litmus test. Eventually he turns on everyone and soon it will be you and then the entire country.”

Hi all, I guess i haven’t been to the site for awhile. I tried clicking on my link the last couple days and it wasn’t working. I went to email and clicked a link there. I didn’t realize the website name changed. That’ll teach me not to come here more often. 🙂

As American children and college students return to school this week, instead of feeling excitement and pride about a new year of learning and new friends, families are worried sick about whether their loved ones will be shot dead in another American massacre. SHAME on @SenateGOP
For the first time, my oldest granddaughter posted a prayer this morning to keep her son in third grade (and his little cousin, starting Kindergarten this year) safe in school. I cried like a baby.
Oh my goodness. My heart goes out to all of you. I can’t imagine the fear parents feel. I do have two precious young great nieces that I think about. They both really love school but have had to practice these drills. Although their parents try to protect them from all TV news, I wonder if the older one will begin to understand the fear.
The older one is turning 11 and she’s an old soul. They just got back from a trip to Europe and she told me her two favorite places were Anne Frank’s house in Amsterdam and the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona!!

HOW THE NRA RE-WROTE THE SECOND AMENDMENT.
The Second Amendment is one sentence:
1) “A well regulated militia, being necessary for the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep
and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”
2) NRA creed today: “…the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”
3) The FIRST HALF of the ORIGINAL SENTENCE has been EDITED OUT by the NRA.
This is not complicated.
No matter the pushback this is the essence, the fact, the essential overt truth, and critical pathway:
–Cauterize the daily massacre of Americans.
–Expose the murderous NRA lie.

I’ve been wondering about this ever since I heard they left to do the search on Epstein’s VI estate on Sunday.
@maddow Epstein detained on 7/6/19; found in fetal position with marks on his neck on 7/23/19; on suicide watch until 7/29/19; found unresponsive and pronounced dead on 8/10/19. FBI/DOJ flew to his VI estate on 8/11/19 for search. Does this mean Epstein left a confessional note?

Two years ago in Charlottesville, a neo-Nazi drove a car into a crowd of people protesting white supremacy and killed Heather Heyer. May we honor her memory by speaking out against hatred, as she did, and working together to defeat it.
BREAKING: Great news out of the 9th Circuit, which just upheld Montana’s strong and innovative disclosure requirements on state-level electioneering communications.
OK, just one of my random thoughts. What proof is there for any of these MSM reporters that Epstein was actually a millionaire, or sometimes referred to as a billionaire. You’re either one or the other. There are a few zeros in absentia here. Then, whatever money he made, was it from child trafficking? When did he start that deplorable? When Barr Sr. hired him as an unqualified somebody? Did he then go forward & have an ugly “ponzi” scheme for worldwide child trafficking? Which brings it to money laundering. Just my random thoughts. 😔
“According to a Pew Research Center survey,
72 percent of the country supports a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.”

He’ll soon borrow from Trump and start calling media outlets that critique him “fake news”. I hope he is not our nominee. We need a real Democrat running against Trump and taking him on. I don’t trust Bernie.
