There are no good Republicans.

None. Zip Zilch Zero None Of Them Not A Single Pleasant Person.

They are a revolting corrupt embezzlement ring with literally zero redeeming qualities

Fuck Trump and his spineless boot licking thugs and Fuck Massie and his rose-tinted followers.

Release the Epstein files transparency proposition WITHOUT that gun obsessed bigoted hack’s contribution or prosperity.

    About $100k of iron in that pic (assuming the 60/uzi/Thompson are all fully functional and not just replica/semi auto.

    I have mine because they have theirs.

        I wasn’t going to share the story because I felt it too dark. But a coworker years ago told me the first people he would kill in the “shit hits the fan” scenario is his neighbors because they would be the first to ask for help/target him.

        The fact that a single nut job is out there thinking this was enough to adjust my stance on owning fire arms.

        Gun manufacturers are a part of society, and a very rich part.

        The entire world demands guns, and the USA provides. More than the top six suppliers combined (including China and Russia).

        Every state in the union is part of the arms industry. Even Hawaii.

          The entire world demands guns, and the USA provides.

          Most of the guns used in crimes in Canada and Mexicr were smuggled in from the USA.

          A truly moral society wouldn’t be providing the weapons that criminals demand.

      Honestly, that’s much lower than I expected. Knowing very little about firearm costs (haven’t shot anything since college), I would have guessed probably double that.

    Why do these… people feel the need to hold guns?

    Dicks/tits too small?

    I mean, I own guns and enjoy shooting, but unless I’m using them at the range or cleaning them, they stay locked up in the gun safe.

    Any Republican who is still a Republican after the past 25 (45?) years is an evil idiot or just plain ultra gullible.

    There are strategic moments that make sense. Liz Cheney (with no actual policy compromises) saying basically that, “I’m a Republican but Trump is a national security threat so I’m voting Harris” is strategically sound. Those who know Trump is a threat were already voting Democrat. Those on the fence or sitting out may have been persuaded by this bipartisan act (even though we all know we wouldn’t want Cheney running domestic policy).

    With respect to Massie, I’m glad he has carved out a sliver of morality on this one issue because Good vs. Bad isn’t boolean; it’s a gradient.

    That said, there isn’t a race in the country for these midterms where the Republican is better than the Democrat on the ballot.

    (Also, Massie like Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger before him, already lost his Primaries so won’t be in Congress anyway next year)

    If a politician made a post like this in any other country they’d be lucky to just be laughed out of government.

    I know these type of people that pose with guns and family. Generally the more guns and ammo they are stockpiling is a good inverse indicator of their IQ.

    That photo continues looking crazier and crazier. What a sign of a sick society for families to pose in their living room and holiday garb while all carry modern weapons. Guns can be fun, but they’re dangerous tools intended to kill. Sometimes there’s good reason to kill, but it should be a solemn task
