Republican state legislators allowed high school students to buy AR-15s.
That gave Congress an opening to create an issue
I know Alvin... I wish I could change the headline but we’re not allowed to do this.. We all know it for what it is..
Oh, I’m not blaming you. We *shouldn’t* change headlines; that’s like changing quotes.
I just wanted to call out one more example of the 1984-style Newspeak that’s permeating our language and corrupting people’s thoughts.
The usual suspects
The one that gets me is the Jan 6 coverage: “deadly attack”, “insurrection”. etc. just flat out lies they write in their articles...
If you have time you could email or tweet at the reporters. Some people do this and it can be entertaining.
Linda was all for guns for Ukraine. Just not for you!
Collins, Romney & Murkowski are clueless morons when it comes to guns.
What are you referring to?
Pretty much disgusting! Joni Ernst! Capito! And the big traitor Cornyn!
Cornyn should not be allowed back into the state of Texas.
You got that right
Does an NRA rating mean anything after the trouble the NRA has had in recent years?
How ‘bout ‘dat! Traitor Lindsay doing what he has always done.
“Here are the 14 GOP senators who voted to advance gun safety bill”
RINO supporters:
Purists are fools. We will never be able to take control of the senate and house unless we vote for RINOs.
Purists:
RINO supporters are fools. RINOs are worse than Democrats.
It’s all just regulations for buying or keeping. Other than a red flag ‘possibly’ halting a sale. Where does ‘gun safety’ come into that word salad? I see no training or safety required to purchase. That would be gun safety at least.
Young just doing what the Turtle and the Chamber of Commerce paid for him to do
The thing is this isn’t an isolated case. The intentional abuse of language to change the way people think is pervasive.
“Gender-affirming” means “gender-denying”.
“Gender assigned at birth” means “gender recorded at birth”.
A “trans man” is a kind of woman.
A “trans woman” is a kind of man.
“Progressive” means “regressive (trying to undo the progress of civilization)”.
“Gay” — we’re all used to this word by now, but this is part of the normalization of homosexuality. It used to mean “happy and care-free”.
“Pride” — Now a virtue, whereas it used to be a sin.
And these are just off the top of my head right now; there are loads of other examples.
1984 is getting closer all the time.
Might as well get rid of 2A.
RINOs are the reason we have 3 conservative leaning justices on SCOTUS. Democrats did not support any of the 3.
They are going to. When is the question.
If the supreme court was worth a crap then this would not stand. Unfortunately the SC thinks the constitution means nothing.
