@4talkingpolitic @benshapiro You have been mis-informed. Presidents do not have the power to declassify any TS/SCI document.

Polices that could make us safer, that could prevent massacres of children and people in public places are incredibly popular.

The problem isn't a lack of support.

The problem is that our leaders have failed us by lacking courage and

I wish I could say what happened in Uvalde is an unfathomable tragedy.

But it's not. It's completely predictable.

This disgusting state of affairs and these senseless tragedies could be prevented if our leaders had courage and were concerned about more than the economy.

We absolutely have to address gun culture in the United States.

We need to admit our white supremacist foundations have led to a state of paranoia, of firearm fetishism.

That is a massive part of the problem and requires a sea change of cultural proportions.

We must recognize that the GOP, with its radicalization, its dependency on fear, paranoia, and conspiracy theories has created an environment where guns and violence are a main part of their appeal.

This state we're living in isn't independent of that. At all.

And any conversation about gun violence or mass shootings has to involve the NRA, an institution that has done more harm to Americans and created more tragedy than nearly anyone else.

It is an absolute blight on the American body and its influence cannot be downplayed.

The DOJ has revealed that Trump accepted hundreds of thousands in illegal foreign campaign donations from CHINA.

Another day, another Trump crime revealed.

DOJ Reveals That Trump Took Illegal Donations From

So in the past nearly year and seven months of Democrats holding the House and the Senate, we’ve gotten:

- The American Rescue Plan
- The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act
- Bipartisan Safer Communities Act of 2022
- The PACT Act
- Chips Bill
- Inflation Reduction Act

All this productivity in terms of important legislation, half of it bipartisan, leads me to a question I’ve never gotten an answer to:

What would the Republicans do I’d they were in control of Congress? Specifically?

Don’t give me meaningless phrases like “stop wokeness.” What specifically would they do?

Ask them. They can’t tell you.

What are their official policies? They don’t have any. They no longer have a party platform.

They’ve had a long time now to complain about everything that the Democrats do and think about what they would do if they take over Congress.

But they haven’t used it. They have nothing. No ideas. No policies. No plans.

Except …

Kevin McCarthy promises that if the GOP takes the House, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar, who both spoke at white supremacist conferences this year, will not only get their committee assignments back but will get better ones. He promised.
