MTG distancing herself as quickly as possible and now wants the FBI to investigate.......lol https://twitter.com/mtgreenee/status/1648082814095556608

Major Tom we have a problem SpaceX delays test flight of Starship, world's biggest rocket Liftoff of the giant rocket was called off just minutes ahead of the scheduled launch time because of a pressurization issue in the booster stage, SpaceX said. SpaceX founder Elon Musk said a pressure valve appeared to be frozen, forcing a postponement of the launch which had been planned for 8:20 am Central Time (1320 GMT) from Starbase, the SpaceX spaceport in Boca Chica, Texas. "Learned a lot today, now offloading propellant, retrying in a few days," Musk tweeted. https://www.france24.com/en/americas/20230417-spacex-delays-test-flight-of-starship-world-s-biggest-rocket

So collateral damage of around 400 is fine to keep your rights eh? Does it mention how many kids were in that 400? By the way, its more than that, latest figures from 2021 are 447 and that does not take into account the 4,740 firearm deaths where the weapon was unknown, so could be a rifle or handgun. https://www.statista.com/statistics/195325/murder-victims-in-the-us-by-weapon-used/

There you have a good example of the lame attempt to compare car deaths and gun deaths. Car deaths were over taken by gun deaths some time ago. Gun deaths are the leading cause of death for children and young people. You need to pass a driving test to drive a car. Insurance needed. The car needs to be street legal You cannot legally conceal a car when walking into a venue or anywhere else for that matter For Trump to say mass shootings is not a gun problem is about as far fetched as some who claim he's like Jesus!

The beauty of the internet is that its time stamped when an item is published.

So after an angry judge sanctions them for withholding crucial evidence, a grovelling apology from Fox, the trial proper starts Monday. Fox seems resigned to losing the case and taking it to the Supreme Court for appeal. Fox News Is on Trial, and So Are Falsehoods About 2020 The jury will be asked to weigh lofty questions about the limits of the First Amendment and to consider imposing a huge financial penalty against Fox. Some of the most influential names in conservative media — Rupert Murdoch, Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson — are expected to be called to testify. But there is another fundamental question the case raises: Will there be a price to pay for profiting from the spread of misinformation? https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/16/business/media/fox-news-dominion-trial.html

You really want to cite Scott Ritter, a convicted child sex offender & who publishes article directly to RT News? The kill ratio was indeed reversed, a quick and cheap photoshop by Russian propagandists. https://twitter.com/yarotrof/status/1644226867623280641

1.5 mass shootings daily so far this year............. The Alabama shooting happened the same day that shots were fired into a crowd at a park in Louisville, Kentucky. Two people were killed and four others were wounded. The US has suffered at least 162 mass shootings in the first 15 weeks of 2023, according to the Gun Violence Archive. That’s an average of more than 1.5 mass shootings every day so far this year. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/04/16/us/dadeville-alabama-mass-shooting/index.html

The leading cause of death for children and young people in the US rears its ugly and evil head again. Multiple deaths. RIP

Ridiculous questions, was Hitler nice to children..................1.5 million were murdered in the Holocaust. Just because it refuses to give positive attributes on Hitler does not make it woke.

Is it not better than Marjorie Taylor Greene ranting to millions that the democrats are a "party of pedophiles" or Tucker Carlson referring to the moronic dems. After all they have millions of followers who then parrot their views. Perhaps you should take a little of your own advice and offer a reasoned on topic debate rather than make claims that others fail to do that.

I found the topic interesting, certainly contained information that I was unaware of and have learnt from.

Agree 100%. Of course the NRA and its loons will always try and distract from that fact. I prefer the opinions of real professionals. "That’s why an explanation of the difference between an AR-15 and military-style firearms from retired Major General Paul Eaton has gone viral. Major General Eaton was the commander in charge of training Iraqi soldiers during Operation Iraqi Freedom, so he definitely knows what he’s talking about when it comes to weaponry." https://www.upworthy.com/military-general-explains-ar15-weapon-of-war-rp2 Full twitter thread in the link. https://twitter.com/PaulDEaton52/status/1532492803271544833 & here's a legal court decision: "the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia, came down squarely one side of this debate, with big implications for how states regulate assault weapons. In a 10-4 decision, the federal court upheld Maryland’s 2013 assault weapons ban, finding that guns like the AR-15 are weapons of war, and thus American civilians don’t have an unfettered right to buy and own them under the Second Amendment." https://www.thetrace.org/2017/02/assault-rifles-ban-ar-15-weapon-of-war/

Its not only the bump stock problem, the AR-15 ammo and its velocity is responsible for far more damaging wounds to a persons body leading to higher death rates when its used.

While a standard AR-15 is semi, bump stocks are not banned and used in some mass murder tragedies such as the Las Vegas Strip. "The gunman, Steven Paddock, brought ammunition and an arsenal of 12 semi-automatic AR-15-style rifles that he converted with “bump stocks” to fire about as quickly as fully automatic weapons." https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-guns-lawsuit-idUSKCN1TY2GF

Nothing like setting up your 1 year old granddaughter with her first guns. This madness needs to stop. South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem says 1-year-old granddaughter ‘already has’ shotgun, rifle South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem raised eyebrows Friday when she said that her granddaughter, who is just a year old, already has a shotgun and a rifle. Speaking at the annual National Rifle Association convention in Indianapolis, the conservative firebrand told the crowd that her granddaughter, “Little Miss Addie” is already “set up” for her future with the weapons — and a pony. https://nypost.com/2023/04/14/kristi-noem-says-1-year-old-granddaughter-already-has-shotgun-rifle/

Sounds to me like its nothing to do with pro life/pro abortion, but pro votes for Trump. A play on women's rights for politics no matter what they finally end up with.

Isn't she the lucky one, not being one of the unfortunate 85% who during having a natural childbirth suffer from either a tear or need a episiotomy cut to make the opening wider. Then in the US there's the other 50,000 a year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — endure dangerous and even life-threatening complications that often leave them wounded, weakened, traumatized.

Desperation, anything to try and keep Pence from testifying. Former Vice President Mike Pence won't appeal a ruling requiring him to testify before a grand jury as a part of the special counsel investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021 assault on the Capitol, a Pence aide confirmed Wednesday. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/pence-wont-appeal-over-subpoena-for-his-testimony/

This was just before the new 6 week ban came into effect and still effects those women carrying a pregnancy after the 15 week cut of for abortions that endanger the mother. Two friends were denied care after Florida banned abortion. One almost died. The medical exceptions to protect the life of the mother that are included in abortion bans are often described in vague language that does not appear to cover pre-viability PPROM, doctors said. That’s because the risks of the condition are often less clear-cut than other medical emergencies, such as an ectopic pregnancy, in which a fertilized egg grows outside of the uterus, dooming the fetus and posing an immediate danger to the mother’s life. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/04/10/pprom-florida-abortion-ban/

You do know that the poll was of Florida residents state wide of both parties........... Here's the results again: "75% of 1,452 respondents said they either somewhat or strongly opposed the six-week ban. That included 61% of Republicans." https://www.unf.edu/coas/porl/_files/polls/statewide/certified.rf.UNF-Mar-Statewide-2023.pdf

I was replying to this post not any other and it was not an attack, it was clearly an example of the ridiculous notion that women are expected to take all the precautions and men just blame them if they don't. Got it?

Taking away women's rights and also blaming them for any consequences if they don't follow every known method to avoid an unwanted pregnancy in other words right? How about taking it to the ultimate. After all, women cannot get pregnant in normal circumstances without a very willing man. How about the man take some responsibility. Ensure he doubles up on condoms, heck why not ensure he checks that the woman is taking adequate prevention measures. After the act that same man then needs to ensure that a pregnancy test was carried out within the 6 week period, you know, just in case the period is late or irregular. Then perhaps he should be the one who has obtained the abortion pill so he can hand a couple over to the woman, again all within this 6 week period, oh wait, they're trying to ban that too! Seems that some men want it all their own way and just don't care for the consequences that the woman could be left with.

Some more info on him: "Some Discord members showed The Washington Post video of Teixeira shouting racist and antisemitic slurs before firing a rifle." https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/04/13/jack-teixeira-discord-document-leak/
