Your Saturday Cartoon:
It's a sick, sick world and we know it and at least half of Washington loves that just fine! We have mass shootings in this country every damn day, often more than one a day, but do you ever wonder how much money ends up in the pockets of Republican politicians (and 1 or 2 "Democrats") everytime a big one, like the one in Maine a little over a week ago, happens? There are people in the world, here and abroad, that want to keep the madness going in America and it's not just the NRA that has such a vested interest in death and mayhem. Such people will and do pay good money to assure that words like the words uttered by the Greek chorus of Republican scumbags* depicted in the above cartoon keep being uttered every time a mass shooting happens. It costs a lot of money in shut-up bribes, or should I say "campaign contributions" and you should have no doubt that a ton of extra wide pockets get stuffed everytime some sicko decides to see how many people he can kill and/or permanently maime in under 3 minutes. And do you ever wonder how much of the "campaign contributions" money originates in Russia and gets laundered through the NRA? I do. Whatever the amount (Maybe only Putin and Moscow Mitch know), it's more than enough that we should start naming mass shootings after Senators and Congresswhores just like we name hurricanes. Why not? I'm sure they'd be proud and they'd probably cynically use the notoriety to raise even more money. After all, they all go around wearing those sick AR-15 lapel pins, you know.
Well, all I can say is that if I was a prominent Democrat like, say, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, I'd have some bigger investigations and a permanent round the clock hearing or two looking into such things. Pretty naive of me, eh?
*All that's missing in the cartoon is Maine's disgraceful knuckle-dragging $enator $usan Collins telling us she's "concerned" about mass shootings before stuffing a few thousand more dollars in her handbag and walking off to vote against gun control legislation again.
