Aeschylus: “in war, truth is the first casualty”, and so it is with mass murder in schools and elsewhere. Or is it that we do not admit that we are now at war?

This crap - storm was a byproduct of Trump enabling the horde of crazies, whackjobs, white supremacists, conspiracy theorists, Religious Right extremists, the NRA fanatics who believe that it's their right to own an ASSAULT WEAPON that could take out a TANK or bring down an ICBM, extreme right - to - lifers who believe that life begins at conception or maybe BEFORE, as well as the crazies who believe that TFG is the new MESSIAH, & other looney toons.

The truth is always under assault in this country. When one of trump's people started talking about "alternative facts" I knew that we were really in trouble.

To me, when a Republican says something, even something that has a basis in truth, like " the Sun is a giant ball of hot gases " or " water & oxygen are necessary elements for life ", I will fact - check whatever they say, on the premise that even things that are known to be TRUE become LIES after a Republican says them.

I blame the NRA and Putin for this Putin aligned actors infiltrated the NRA - gave donations. Offered sex for influence. The NRA has been co-opted and no longer acts in interest of the United States.
