Gonna be a mess - got an excuse to agitate

A quick look at the CDC shows that homicide is the 5th leading cause of death for ages 10-14. Cannon was five; it would take a while to digest the stats, but suffice to say there's a LOT more homicides of children than we all hear about. If repubs are arguing they are all national news, we can probably kiss the 2A goodbye.

But no, the right isn't arguing that's what makes this newsworthy. This is newsworthy because it was a black guy and a white kid. Right?

Let's be intellectually honest. Are you suggesting that the reverse of that would *NOT* be covered?

Of course it would.

But in employing the dishonest and manipulating tactics of the opposition, there never will be a prevailing party. They end up being approximately the same, in the end. And that turns independents away from both sides, instead of just one.

I see this less as pushing a party agenda and more highlighting of the bias and manipulation of the MSM. "Fake news" is real, as is suppression of that which doesn't support an agenda. It gets even worse for those that get their "news" from social media.

No matter what every side is pushing, healthy skepticism is prudent.

Both major parties are screwing us and have been for decades. One party uses a left-hand threaded screw and the other uses a right-hand threaded screw.

Good points.

We should be buying our politicians chocolates and roses every valentines day.

which is taken form the older one. Nahh I'm innocent. I'm only in here because my lawyer fucked me.

I know this is just small fraction/decimal % of the total, but I do know 3 business owners who use to be Democrat from CA then converted to Republican in CO. :D

This would be happening often now if we were in the 19th century, methinks.
