2 minutes: And a thanks to Kamala Harris for a forthright assessment:

Once again that which only happens in America happened in America Wednesday. Yep someone with a gun – well not just a gun but a weapon specifically made for war, the AK47 – and started shooting anything and everything. This is the only country such shootings happen. It is all because a small pocket of people with an outsized amount of power wants the real problem to be disguised behind some smoke screen.

Due to the money and the power this group can wield one political party is more than happy to bend their wills and propaganda to fit those with the power and the money. And therefore at the instance of yet another horrible shooting in America, we see career politicians once again regurgitating the usual lines like: 

• Guns are not the problem
• It’s a mental health issue
• A good guy with a gun is needed to stop such problems
• The second amendment allows everybody to have guns.
• Pray to God and he will take care of it

Of course all this is a load of crap used to delay or stop what every other sane country in the world has already done – get the weapons of war out of the hands of as many citizens as they can. The propaganda that gets hauled out after every horrific shooting spree is ten carried usually without comment by the media which is set to make money advertising guns.

I understand politicians uniting to stop the banning of guns. No matter how loathsome these politicians are they are getting paid for doing so by some very rich people. They are whores to the gun lobby and only doing their whorish jobs. What is really disconcerting is people who vote for these gun lobby whores. 

Do they really want the slaughter of our children to continue? They must. They vote for the whores who suck up to the gun  lobby and its money. They take their bribes also known as “contributions” and vote to keep the gun lobby’s war on America up and running. 40,000+ dead Americans a year. Is this due to immigration? 

Hell no! The problem is the gun lobby and they need to be outed by the media. Their whores in Congress need to be identified so truly informed voters can vote them out. 

Ironically those who defend the proliferation of the weapons of war on the streets of America are usually the same that call for the Christianization of the country. Apparently they are oblivious to “thou shall not murder” is part of their basic tenets. 

So with a stash of cash in their back pockets, MAGA politicians don’t see the daily murder of 120 Americans as a problem. No, it is a symptom of the problem of not everyone having a gun at the ready. Guns are not the only problem they perceive in unique ways.

Take low wages for example. They see the problem as companies that hire workers and who pay those workers for their time and ability as not having enough money. That’s right – companies need more and more money. One way to accomplish that is to cut their taxes to nothing allowing companies to share this largesse with their employees. Never mind that it has never happened – it could.

Another problem is health care. They see health care not as something that should be accessible to everyone, but to those who can afford it. Obviously if you can’t afford it you have done something in your life that makes you undeserving of being able to afford health care. Tough luck for you.

The same goes with housing. If you can’t afford it, then out on the street with you. The way the MAGAs perceive housing is that landlords and housing providers must make a good profit. They can’t make a profit if their lessees can’t afford the price. 

In the eyes of the MAGA, their problem is how most Americans perceive problems. No one should be given health care, housing, food, or an education. If you can’t afford such things that is your problem and shouldn’t bet be paid for by taxes on the rich.

And that is why often their answers involve taking tax payers money and funneling it to the wealthy and corporations through schemes such as Iowa’s Educational Voucher scheme or Iowa’s Medicaid Managed Care Organizations. Both are sleazy schemes to take money from public programs and waste it in private bureaucratic organizations that cripple the problem they are assigned to solve.

So there it is. The problems are real, but by pretending to see them through a different perceptions, schemes can be launched that funnels money to the rich while making those who are victims of a given problem suffer even more. It’s a trick that corporate media is pulling on us every day. And whorish congress members stuff their campaign treasuries with blood money from the gun sellers.
