Headlines: Only in America

Quote by WellMadeMale

Except, this happened last October and was extensively covered by all networks for a few days.

Well I ran a search on Steel Heather’s date of post. Wasn’t the bowling alley. It was a mass shooting that hurt 11 people in Georgia.

It was one of five public shooting incidents that weekend and 2 people were killed in Savanah alone. This didn’t hit any major headline cycle that day.

The 11 shot was an interesting occurrence in a dystopian sort of way. There was one shot, and a bunch of individuals pulled guns and didn’t know where it came from and started firing on each other. And this is exactly why open carry is such a terrible idea.

Only in America can a convicted criminal, serving time (not hard time) for his violation - get a fucking interview while in prison - so he can spew his thoughts for the Next Trump Dictatorship.

I was just making a general statement. I was not referring to just one.

Do you know about Donald J. Trump’s Executive Order 13950?  If you don’t, be afraid.  Be very afraid.

Just weeks before he was fired by America’s voters in 2020, President Trump issued this piece of nastiness which was quickly rescinded by just-inaugurated President Biden.

The Executive Order is a “DCL,” what the right-wing brilliantly calls a, “Divisive Concepts Law.”  

These DCL’s terrorize teachers with the threat of losing their jobs if they dare teach the truth of America’s racial history:  That white people enslaved Africans, that the Klan enforced racial vote suppression with the hanging rope.  And God forbid, they teach that women were banned from the vote until the 20th Century.  The Executive Order bans teaching  any historical facts if, “….any individual should feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress on account of his or her race or sex….”
