Another day, another mass shooting in America

FFyIVyzX0AsYST0?format=jpg&name=large.jpg Only in America. A Kentucky congressman and his family posing for their Christmas photo (with the caption: "Merry Christmas. p.s. Santa, please bring ammo") Some folks are just brain dead, especially in light of the recent Michigan school shooting tragedy. Sorry Maynerd if you deem that a breach of community standards but c'mon that photo is incredulous.

Certainly a different perspective on the "War on Christmas."

On that note, I have trouble understanding how this is in keeping with the spirit of Christmas, or how anyone can complain about Starbucks' cups and not condemn this.

It definitely gives an alternate meaning to Peace on Earth, good will to men.

Starbucks cups with Happy Holidays instead of Christmas the right whine about a war on Christianity. Holiday postcard with minors holding guns no problem.

I mean, who has any goodwill for men, anyway? 😂

I think that the concept of cognitive dissonance is over their heads.

I think that congressman got exactly what he wanted from that pic. Over 11k retweets, 48k quote tweets, 74k likes. So far. Mission accomplished ✅

Someone should make them explain why guns like these are so great, based on a list of actual good things US citizens have done with them, stacked up against all the innocent dead bodies they've produced.

Let's see. Congressman publicly demonstrates a lack of taste, lack of judgement, and lack of decorum, and you suggest he's brain dead. Seems on point. When the public figure demands to be ridiculed, I'm not sure it's a breach of CS to accommodate that demand.

I prefer this version.

I miss your smile. I miss your smell. I miss how contagious your laugh was and how it would echo across giant rooms. I miss you calling me Berica. I miss you laughing at me. I miss you publicly shaming my lack of common sense.

I miss you taking me to the doctor (even if it was mostly because you had a mega crush on him). I miss your quick witted sass. I miss your hugs. I miss your early morning phone calls. I miss it all, Mom.

I hate that you’ve missed so much. You should have graduated from Sage, they named a whole building after you! You would be so incredibly proud of Tina and Ryan, they are the best parents in the universe. The kids are all just so perfect in their own little ways.

Rob is hilarious and the kindest person I know, Adam is an amazing athlete and too cute for his own good, Charlie is the genius you always said he would be, and Aly - as you said the day she was born - “another Lafferty girl”, and wow, has she lived up to the name!

I hate that you aren’t here to watch them grow and watch Tina be a Mom. I hate that GeeGee misses you so much but you would be so proud of how she shows up EVERY SINGLE TIME for all of us. I hate that I can’t call you and cry about literally everything like I used to.

I hope you are seeing this all. I hope we’re making you proud. I hope you’re not too mad at me for the dumb things I’ve done (I’ve done so much to make better life choices and learn from my mistakes!). I hope you’d be proud of my work and how much I have tried to put into it all.

I can’t believe it’s been NINE years. I don’t know how I have survived this long without you. I’m fighting for a life that can be described with more than “survived”.. but I’m also just kind of taking what I can get for now. #SandyHook #ThisIsNine

The Pennsylvania teens planning a mass shooting at their high school were manufacturing ghost guns from parts made while attending a local vocational school: “The cache included four untraceable AR-15-style rifles and a pump-action shotgun.”

Six dead in Sacramento. Just another day in the land of the free. Murica!
