Today, David Waldman and Greg Dworkin again report that we are again under the cloud of another mass shooting, right on the heels of… the twenty mass shootings following Uvalde, Texas. This catastrophe has a reason... they all have a reason, being that people who want to kill people cheap, quick and easy can find all the support they need to do so. That support seems to be eroding, finally. Republican sociopathy has been a harder sell lately.
Who knows, perhaps the upcoming January 6 hearings will make it harder to sell Republican insurrection. Blockbuster witnesses, celebrities and guest stars are slated.
Tapes expose the Republicans’ plan to takeover future Democratic-majority polls, while memos between John Eastman and Rudy Colludy Giuliani reveal the criminal effort to overthrow the previous election.
