It is deep Corruption and it is Tyranny.Some people seem to see this as just another incident. Just like they ALL are, except this one

AND OUR ELECTIONS ARE SOON AND THERE IS VOTER DISFRANCHISEMENT OCCURING.
NO. WHY did he have to TELL them anything at all? No... The NRA ARE NOT THE CITIZENS. ABSURD.
WHO SUPPORTS THE NRA..... WHO STARTED THIS? NOT DEMOCRATS. THE GOP DID. DO YOU THINK THE NRA WANTS GOP HEADS?
NO. THEY WANT DEMOCRAT HEADS.
EVERYONE WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE. WHY DID HE TELL THE NRA THIS?
NOTHING IS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT WITH THESE PEOPLE NOTHING.
PEOPLE ONLY THINK IT IS ISOLATED, WHEN THEY ARE CAUGHT. BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE TOLD TO THINK THIS.
WAKE UP. IT IS TYRANNY. AND NONE OF IT IS ISOLATED. IT IS OCCURING AROUND THE COUNTRY. AS WE SPEAK.
AND THAT IS FACT. AND IT HAS BEEN FOR YEARS. THE ONLY 'FACT' NOT AGREED ON IS WHAT TO CALL ALL OF THIS. I CALL IT TYRANNY. THAT IS WHAT IT IS, AND THAT IS A FACT. TYRANNY. TYRANNY IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT, IT OCCURS OVER AND OVER AGAIN, SAME AS ALL OF THIS STUFF DOES. CALL IT WHAT IT IS. IT IS BOTH CORRUPTION AND TYRANNY.
RIGHT NOW IT COULD AFFECT OUR VOTE=TYRANNY.
WITH TYRANNY COMES CORRUPTION. THEY ARE BOTH EQUAL.
IT IS WHAT IT IS. PERIOD. EVERYONE HAS SEEN WHAT HAPPENED IN 2000. WHAT DONT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND ABOUT ANY OF THIS AND WHAT THESE PEOPLE WILL DO TO GAIN POWER. THEY WILL LITERALLY DO ANYTHING TO WIN AND WILL BREAK ANY LAW TO DO IT. AND THAT IS TYRANNY IN A DEMOCRACY.
PERIOD.
INVOLVING THE NRA IN ALL OF THIS DOES NOTHING BUT ATTEMPT TO LEGITIMIZE GUN VIOLENCE. PERIOD. AND THAT IS MORE TYRANNY.....AND HERE WE ARE YET AGAIN, BACK TO THE STINKING ONION THAT EVERYONE CAN SEE AND SMELL.
PEOPLE NEED TO WAKE UP TO THE PATTERNS OF ALL THIS. SOME SAY DEMOCRACY IS RULE BY FOOLS, WELL HERE ARE THE FOOLS....ONLY THEY ARE NO FOOLS. IT IS THE PEOPLE THAT ARE BEING MADE FOOLS OF. IN DEMOCRACIES, LEADERS DO NOT CALL THEIR CITIZENS FOOLS BY DOING THINGS SUCH AS THESE. PERIOD. IF THEY DO, THEY GET NO VOTES. HERE THEY DO THIS BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY BUY VOTES. PERIOD. THAT IS NOT DEMOCRACY.
Meanwhile....The Progression continues.
