1. I don't know if it will accomplish anything, but I applaud the effort.


One shit-for-brains democrat senator after another got up to take their turn and run their stupid mouth.

Running their stupid mouths was more important than attending a classified briefing on the Orlando terror attack with the FBI Director and the Homeland Security Secretary.

The idiots who voted for these dipshits won't care.

It was probably for the better that they didn't show up.  The dim-witted fools would have just gotten in the way of the grownups.

We will make America strong again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again. And we will make America great again.

Please keep pushing this dumbocrats.

Without this issue, the Dems's chances of regaining the Senate are about 60-65 percent.  Now this shows up . . . And it may just push their chances back to below 50%.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) has launched a talking filibuster on the Senate floor in an effort to force Republicans and Democrats to come to an agreement on legislation to deny suspected terrorists from purchasing firearms and requiring universal background checks.

Since background checks are already required to purchase firearms, Politico, the Senator, or both are lying about this. And even if checking the FBI's Watch List for people for whom the FBI had substantial indications of ties to terrorists were required, Mateen never made that list, and had been removed from the FBI's list of people they were investigating, more than a year before buying his guns. So this, too, would have had zero effect on the slaughter in Orlando.

And, to be blunt, given the eagerness of Obama's InJustice Department and Ds generally to label theologically conservative Christians, Pro-Life People, and political conservatives as terrorists and terror threats, the Federal Government cannot be trusted with that power to screw up innocent people's lives!

If Trump plays this right, we may yet see those universal background checks . . . but only with national concealed-carry reciprocity as a condition.
