Package addressed to Austin explodes in Fedex depot near San Antonio. One injured slightly. Package contained usual terrorist mix of masonry nails and other shrapnel.

The Cuomos and corruption is in fact business as usual, since before Tammany Hall.
I do like Chris Cuomo tho. Imperfect but not bribed.

The 1980’s called, and they would like their drug policy back.

Oh look, The US already has the death penalty for drug dealers… it was part of the 1994 Federal Death Penalty Act. You would think the AG would have told him this.

ARMEDDDDDDDDDDDD school resource officer kills school shooter maggot!
Good guy with a gun! NRA Forever! Too bad for the Libs!

Okay, I’ll bit – why is this a bad thing for libs? In the 80’s our school resource officer was always armed – because they were law enforcement. We had 4 in a high school of 2800, one at each of the 3 middle schools and one at the elementary school that was less than 2 miles from a state prison (incase of a prison break). This is how the officer resource model is meant to work.
Cannot wait to see Wayne La Pierre metaphorically grind his polished Florsheims into the face of the Libs on this one. Common sense. Good Guy With A Gun shoots mentally troubled school shooter. Undoubtably saved lives. Y’all think I can “join” the NRA for a third time this year? Maybe just a decent sized donation? 2nd Amendment. Most important Civil Right since the Civil Rights Movement of the 60’s.
Noway, you are unhinged. Virtually no one is opposed to an armed school resource officer. That is the way most of us want it to be. It’s the NRA types and Trump that want to arm teachers and cafeteria staff and subsidize guns instead of books. This isn’t that.
Noway doesn’t care about details. The argument is Guns=Good=Libs are Bad.
Nothing else matters.
Old Noway was a free trade/market economy type guy til he heard that’s called “economic liberalism” and since it has the word “lib” in it, he’s figures its the devil’s work. Now he’s a socialist.
