That Damn Piece of Paper

From that “damn piece of paper.” – G.W. Bush

Can someone explain or comment on this?

Section 3 - State of the Union, Convening Congress
He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient;

he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper;

he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States.

If the Democrats take back the house but not the senate and bills cause “Disagreement” it would appear the president can basically “dissolve Congress” as long as he wants. If that could happen, imagine the executive orders he could and WOULD issue!
Could we be without a Congress for two years or have a true dictatorship…whichever comes first?

What media?

By the way…

Is there still a conflict going on in Afghanistan?

Is isis still around?

Is it Niger or Nigeria?

Something’s happening to a country called Ethiopia?

What was this about voting machines being hacked?

Is NATO important?

Why do Republicans want to gut Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid?

Are children still being kidnapped by ICE?

Why are the Republicans talking about another tax cut?

And how will it affect Americans?

Is the President of the United States fit to lead?

Most importantly, will NFL Players be fined if the kneel?

Why are these and many other important news items and questions currently being ignored by your Main Stream Media?

Because it’s what they do. Just ask their corporate owners.

Pardon the long rant...

It’s quite evident Wayne LaPierre, his cohort Dana Lousch and others of similar mentality can put a price on the lives of our children and adults. They already have. Of course it varies according to the political sway of those who receive it. The enormous amount of money he and his organization have given to especially Right Wing politicians in support of doing nothing that could save the lives of hundreds of children and thousands of adults shows he and his organization don’t care and accept it’s ok if kids or adults die by his and his organization's actions or beliefs so long as he, his organization, those he supports and those who donate to him become wealthier.

We hear empty talk from those who directly benefit from LaPierre’s organization the second amendment can not be assailed. I ask why not? We’ve already lost most of the fourth amendment thanks to Bush/Cheney, the Republicans and their wealthy supporters. The most important amendment, the first (thought so by those who founded this nation) is being attacked by the Right at every conceivable turn – in outright fashion or by innuendo and reinterpretation.

The constitution is a living thing according to a POS that has rightfully left this plane of existence. If that’s so, and most on the Right believes it, then even the supposedly sacrosanct second amendment’s time has come for a 21st century overall.

I certainly don’t expect any cooperation or action from ANY on the Right over this (probably pearl clutching, hand-ringing and rationaliztions). God (or whomever) forbid we attack the second amendment…but it’s certainly acceptable to question the rest – even if the vast majority of the second amendment supporting deplorables can’t name or intelligently state more than one or two other amendments! (Are the others really that important, deplorables?) Isn’t that so Mr. Ryan, or Mr. McConnell or any of you immigrant descended “patriots” on the Right?

I have to ask Mr. Ryan, Mr. McConnell and especially our intellectually stunted, third grade oh-so-eloquent president…Was the money you received worth the price of those children’s lives?

It seems your answer is an unqualified yes. Or maybe you think you need to put a different price on other’s lives depending on their status in life, skin color or country of origin? Because if that’s the case you can always accept or demand more money from LaPierre, do less, then continue to offer your most patronizingly, (in)sincere thoughts and prayers. (The MSM will help you there!)

How much are children’s lives worth to you Mr. Ryan, Mr. McConnell, Mr. Trump? We already know they have a price tag on them courtesy of LaPierre (political donations). He might even have a spreadsheet detailing values of acceptable losses of children’s lives for each Republican and his or her district! What does it say about an organization that maintains a PR Department at the ready to defend any of the heinous acts his business is reponsible for?

How much are the lives of YOUR children, YOUR wives, YOUR relative’s (YOUR Mistresses?) worth Mr. Republican Politician? It certainly appears by your (in)actions you don’t give a damn about anyone else's.

Sadly, possibly the only thing that will change the prevailing Right Wing attitude toward gun control would be if any of the children or wives or relatives of those accepting money from LaPierre’s organization (or LaPierre or his relatives, employees or friends) were to suffer a similar fate as the children of Connecticut or Florida or a dozen other states - or the people in Las Vegas or California or wherever.

Tell me again Mr. Ryan, Mr. McConnell, Mr. Trump. How much is someone else’s child, mother, father, sister or brother worth so you can stay in office? A dollar? A hundred dollars? A thousand dollars? Oh, I know…a vote!

To paraphrase one of the countrymen you Republicans admire, support and defend:
If the life of one child could be taken by your inaction so that you could receive enough money from an organization or donors that value money over lives so you can be elected to or stay in office, would you do it? You can deny the obvious answer and lie as Republicans are trained to do, but I guess we already know the answer. You already have bought and paid for those lives. And to put it in terms you can understand, when you get “Right" down to it, it’s really your fault those people are dead!

Should the right of a person to live be subject to and overridden by the whimsical interpretation of the second amendment? There shouldn't even be a moments hesitation to answer that with a resounding NO!

You COULD do something about this. YOU CHOOSE NOT TO! And so long as LaPierre and his ilk feed your bank account and stroke what passes for your simple, single issue (greed) mind and conscience, I’m quite sure you’ll continue to do nothing. In simpler terms even you should understand:

Money is more important to you than the lives of someone else or their children.
I’m sure you can live with that. You already do. We can’t. We need to remind you and those who share your selfish greed every chance we can.

Enjoy your blood money.
