Aristides

A justice system isn't about revenge. Do you think sentencing for any crime should be left to the victims? Wouldn't you be the one playing God by taking a life. Do you think you should have the power of life or death?

The sentences were commuted to "life without the possibility of parole". Read much?

One would think a supreme court would have a code of conduct. Seems they can do pretty much what they want.

The laws the report refers too are all state laws so you should ask DeSantis.

Maybe look up the definition of bipartisan.

Cheney hasn't been in the House since the 2022 election. The MAGA's had her primaried. Keep up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_Committee_on_Ethics

This was an ethics report. Maybe the DoJ will use the evidence in this report to investigate and charge. You can violate ethics without breaking the law, depends what the rules are. Because Gates resigned from Congress, the house can't do anything to him. Bear in mind that the committee is made up of ten members, 5 from each party so at least one Republican had to sign off on releasing this report and it sounds like all of them did.

The Republicans under Eisenhower forced Britain and France to give up the Suez canal during the Suez crisis in 1956. It's more than a bit hypocritical that the US would force Panama to give that canal back.

Panama has already acted to reduce Chinese influence. Landbridge is a Chinese consortium. https://thediplomat.com/2022/02/chinas-investment-setbacks-in-panama/ Trump said no more wars so he is just going to pick on America's allies.

So of course he would support Britain and France taking back Suez.

If you can't tell the difference between natural events and human caused ones, I can't help you. You proposing symptoms, not causes and all long as you do that, you won't solve anything The 99.9% part. Yes, guns are the tool and you make owning those tools easier than any first world country. You have the biggest prison population on earth and the highest incarceration rate. How's it working out for you?

Do I really have to explain the difference between natural events that you can't prevent and man made ones that you can? Making something illegal means nothing if you don't do anything to prevent it. You have anything to back that up? Guns are the leading cause of death in the US among children and teens, exceeding even auto accidents. It isn't even in the top four causes for any other country.

But you can't prevent tornadoes. So change your laws. So how do they get them? When I was working contract in Alaska during the early nineties, one of our captains and his wife were shot to death by their son with their own gun. I bet a lot more Americans are shot by relatives than home invaders. Are you protecting them by not addressing the root causes? Why is this an epidemic only in your country? https://www.bradyunited.org/resources/statistics https://www.euronews.com/2023/05/10/fact-check-has-1-in-5-americans-lost-a-family-member-to-gun-violence

You can mitigate risks from natural causes, you can prevent human caused risks. Why is it so easy for them to get guns illegally? What are you doing to prevent it?

Human caused events can be fixed by humans, we can only adapt to natural events. Well school shooters must be innocent people too because you aren’t serious about preventing their access to weapons.

Are tornados human caused, are arsonists a problem when your kids are in school?

So why did 96% of your schools have written procedures for active shooter drills in the 2019-20 school year? Is that fear mongering too? Isn't putting armed LEO's in your schools to protect kids from shooters fear mongering too?

Ya, you tell them that, I'm sure they will be comforted. No kid should have to be doing active shooter drills in order to go to school. They won't get hit by lightening when they are in school. Why don't you stick to examples you can do something about.

Why do you insist on punishing your children by making them fear going to school?

All you are interested in doing is trying to treat symptoms so you can avoid dealing with the causes. Anyone should be able to understand that mental illness combined with easy access to guns is a recipe for disaster but you don’t seem interested in doing anything about either. This is a world you helped build, not one that was imposed on you.

If you say so. 🙄 I’m just astonished that it’s your first choice and won’t consider any other options. That doesn’t seem very sane to me either.

How may SRO’s do you think should be in each school? Any shooter with any brains will learn a SRO’s routine and take him out first when he is most vulnerable. The shooter will also have the element of surprise and will likely be better armed. He will also have the advantage of not expecting to be alive at the end of the day. But no “innocent” people will be inconvenienced.

Do what you want, shootouts in your schools between SRO's and shooters will be good entertainment on the evening news. Not so much for your kids though. But hey, no "innocent" people will be inconvenienced.

You would rather turn your schools into armed fortresses like some 3rd world country than do something real to keep guns out of the hands of people who shouldn't have them. Life is full of choices, you have obviously made yours.

Like i said, nothing will change and it will be the same excuses even though the Republicans have controlled the government for four years. But I get it, dead school kids aren't innocent people, only gun owners are.
