Profits > all.

God, that’s all we need!!! 👎👎🤬👿

Gee...big surprise...not.

My everyday utterance: “Of course they did.”

pashleyg.bsky.social•9 days ago

Trump is getting ready for something not good if he wants rapid firing trigger devices sales to continue

BE WARE OF TRUMPS EVIL MIND SET TO GET WHAT HE WANTS

angiesnyder.bsky.social•9 days ago

You may be right. I just figured it was because he wants us all dead, but it might be something more acute than chronic. Either way, cutting access to food and health care, and increasing access to increasingly lethal weapons seems like a pretty clear message.

Thanks, WaPo for your editorial silence on presidential endorsement. You’ve shown us exactly what media cravenness looks like!

ayeshabarb.bsky.social•9 days ago

I think they are just hoping that this will create more violence and distract people from the dictatorship that has become our government.

Bondi is a criminal, how many deaths will she be responsible for before she goes to prison?

angiesnyder.bsky.social•9 days ago

Sure. Cut funding for mental health services and counseling in schools, and make bump stocks legal again. Does anyone, anywhere, need further proof that he wants us dead? Is there any better way to ensure that number school shootings will increase, and the number of fatalities increase with each?

bullix.bsky.social•9 days ago

To be fair, this isn’t new and he didn’t create it. This has been how the GQP has betrayed all of us, especially the youth, for 25 years. They’ve been pushing this nonsense Wild West doctrine because the NRA represents gun sellers not owners

angiesnyder.bsky.social•9 days ago

Can't dispute that. Pretty sure he still wants us all to die, though.

More room for South African refugees then.

bullix.bsky.social•8 days ago

Wait till they see how many armed crazies the US has 😏

bullix.bsky.social•9 days ago

Oh of course, just would hate to see people forget the cabal of murderers and collaborators surrounding and backing him. If we let them slink away again, we just guarantee this isn’t the final round. Again.

inminiature.bsky.social•9 days ago

Is the idea here that we can more easily murder the farmer and his family and just take the eggs?

staycalmandcarryon.bsky.social•9 days ago

We are all just cannon fodder and compost to him-no matter how we voted.

sunnyphilyfan2.bsky.social•8 days ago

They want civil war with a bloody mess. They will take the land so easily from all.
The NRA is loving all of it!

johnscotthoward.bsky.social•9 days ago

I hear 99 percent of U.S. law enforcement does not support this

northernsnowdog.bsky.social•8 days ago

Hey, police departments that supported Drumpf, do you own stock in gun and ammunition corporations? If you do, your portfolio must be growing in leaps and bounds at the expense of…checks note…the blood and lives of innocent people.

Congratulations!

To protect and serve indeed.

Pro-life my ass.

More guns, more guns, more guns!

Well, this is one way to handle unemployment caused by the ai takeover of mass layoffs. Altman has always said that he understands a lot of humans will no longer make livings, but he was sure the government would come up with a way to take care of the impacted folxs.

murrayvetstein.bsky.social•9 days ago

Pro-life Republicans? 😡

chloescattery.bsky.social•8 days ago

It would be much better if you phrased the necessary strike as a "day off"

drummerboy429.bsky.social•8 days ago

I want people to hear a song from the great depression made possible by hoover, and get a little feel of the 1930s.

Because that's where we are and or heading.

✌🏻

(If you were talking about the video I made.)

la1ney.bsky.social•9 days ago

Snuffing out lives & criminal payoffs, is the trump administration's modus operandi.

julibcr.bsky.social•9 days ago

Of course. People don't matter. The more of them the right can knock off, the better.

maestraoogway.bsky.social•9 days ago

A nauseating setback.

americanineurope.bsky.social•9 days ago

ABSURDITY!!!!!!

bullix.bsky.social•9 days ago

I think we need to alter our strategy on gun safety reform. If it’s such a cherished freedom, then I say we all DEMAND the right to open carry a literal MG42 into congress, courtrooms, the White House, governor’s mansions, and any other government office. See how safe they feel then.

bullix.bsky.social•9 days ago

No screenings, no check points, no confiscation, just unrestricted access to our public officials with our favorite automatic weapons so that we can properly thank them for all the freedom!

After all, why should they be deprived of the bounty of mass shootings that freedom brings?!

/Sarcasm

billybones1.bsky.social•9 days ago

As someone living in the UK, the idea of anybody being able to buy a gun is disturbing enough without adding a rapid fire capability!

bullix.bsky.social•9 days ago

Oh we aren’t adding it. We are allowing it to be legal once more. Our idiotic courts in some states have ruled concealed carry permits unlawful, others fight for access for the legally blind (!), others say it’s unconstitutional to ban guns from ppl under domestic abuse restraining orders

bullix.bsky.social•9 days ago

This country is fully and completely batshit insane, and it’s 100% because our mush brained “conservatives” have been twisting the concepts of freedom into unrecognizable perversions of themselves in order to establish single party rule.

Half of our states have that already.

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

glennstorm.bsky.social•9 days ago

(psst. Trump administration, your disinformation is showing)

even Republican Congress is divided on it

chloescattery.bsky.social•8 days ago

I am worried about the 10 year section stating "no laws on AI use can be passed for 10 years". This means no culpability for human damage can be enforced for 10 full years.

cielazzurro.bsky.social•8 days ago

Priority is lawlessness?!?

blue-magpie.bsky.social•9 days ago

So EVIL and DERANGED!!!!

shewhogivesafuck.bsky.social•9 days ago

Devils revel in chaos and the misery of others. In their perfect world one can’t fire a gun fast enough.

amymsalas.bsky.social•9 days ago

Well, we’re all screwed but if there is a bright side if something happens to them because of their foolishness then they will have no one else to blame 🤷🏻‍♀️🙂

angiesnyder.bsky.social•9 days ago

They will always have someone else to blame. It is what they do and who they are.
