Do Republicans even bother with tots and pears any more? I assumed they decided it was dumb to tweet it out three, four times a week when they can just ignore it.
". . . AR-15. which stands for Assault Rifle #15 . . . " AR-15 actually (originally anyway) stands for
ArmaLite 15. ArmaLite was the first manufacturer. From Wiki: "The "AR" in AR-15 stands for "ArmaLite Rifle" and "AR-15" is most-commonly used to refer only to the civilian semi-automatic variants of the rifle which lack the fully automatic function.[12] A common misconception is that "AR" is an abbreviation for "assault rifle" or "automatic rifle"
i am very sorry that you missed the obvious joke i made at the expense of weird pedantic gun fetishists. 😥 you may have noticed i also used "clips" and "silencers"...?
There is a meaningful distinction between RWNJs' God and their Gunz? They seem to have confused one for the other. True, the NRA does not, to my knowledge, exhort their followers to persecute LBGTQ+ individuals nor do the Talibangelical churches generally promote the persecution and murder of all non-White people, unlike the Gun cult. The churches generally at least PRETEND to not be all-in on defending White Supremacy nor does fomenting a race war appear to be integral to their cause.
That is about the level of their logic. Anything that they CAN distort to scare each other with and attack their perceived enemies, they will do that without reflection or hesitation.
Ever had an argument with someone who is so angry that EVERYTHING you say is misheard as a mortal insult, an unforgiveable slight, no matter that you are trying to mollify this insane rage before you? Admit fault, admit remorse, so what? Your interlocutor has gone nuclear and nothing but your complete destruction will suffice.
THAT is where we are, nationally, with the so-called "conservatives". There is no "common ground", no " middle way" to be found with people who believe you to be an existential threat, and they can not be talked down from their rage at your very existence, it is what gets them up in the morning, it is as central to their lives as their central nervous systems
Joke's on them. There was an Armalite AR16 rifle, designed to be easier to produce in less developed countries than the AR10 or AR15. It never went into production.
"GOD" created man in his own image--take a stroll around your local Walmart, and get back to me on that.
"For GOD so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son"--FOR WHAT? There was no bargain, no deal struck...God acts like an abused co-dependent, giving EVERYTHING in false hope of some glimmer of approval, which--look at the world today--NEVER CAME.
"But if I believe, God will SAVE ME!"--if there was a God, said God was omnipotent, and he gave two shits about this world, then WHY would he let it go ENTIRELY to shit to see who loves HIM the most? And if he DID, he's the ULTIMATE malignant narcissist...God is the Trumpiest Trumper that ever Trumped.
I grew up in a former British colony. We were not allowed to have guns. My dad was police for a few years. He hated range days because they had to fill out so much paperwork to get their guns, they had to keep the guns with them at all times and they had to clean them and put them back and sign all the paperwork to make sure that the guns were checked in. I still in my mind am not allowed to have guns they aren’t for me.
Still longing for the day a U.S. president can stand before the mics and cameras and say, "Nothing fails like prayer," but that shit ain't gonna happen in my lifetime.
I would never be able to get the wind to cooperate with me if I tried that. Here's a hot tip, never sit next to me at a campfire if you dislike having smoke blowing right into your face, no matter how many times we relocate within the circle.
"We’re gonna go with hope, because the alternative is unthinkable."
THIS is why I love Wonkette. Snark for days, but hope at heart.

I think they just go straight to NEDE MOAR GUNZ these days.
I wish the gun nutz would go off somewhere and shoot at each other, and leave the rest of us the fuck alone. Ta, Dok.
"AR-16s"?! i believe you mean AR-15. which stands for Assault Rifle #15 and it takes high-capacity clips and can have a silencer attached.

I'm going to say brain fart that ended up combining "AR-15" and "M-16" to create "AR-16".
Didn't these people used to slam the M16 as "the rifle that lost us Vietnam"? And now they can't get enough of them...
What lost us Vietnam was going to Vietnam in the first place.
TBF, it’s gone through a number of improvements since its service in Vietnam. It’s much more reliable than it was then.
Let's keep it simple. All guns. Get rid of them.

How long before the conservatives lose it over Bidens comment that thoughts and prayers aren’t enough?
My guess is it will be something like,
“Biden thinks he’s more powerful than God”
That is about the level of their logic. Anything that they CAN distort to scare each other with and attack their perceived enemies, they will do that without reflection or hesitation.

If prayers worked, we wouldn't have school shootings.
Dunnoz religions seem to hate book larning!
. . . or all those tornadoes hitting the bibble belt.
you know, Yahweh started out as a storm god back in prehistory, and always was a mean son-of-a-bitch.
I thought he started out as a war deity? Which would fit with modern American god n gunz ideology.
nah, he was a thunder god but not as cool as Thor
Definitely do not want to piss off the storm gods.
Rethugs and Gun Nuts: "You can't talk about this because you said "AR16" and they are AR15's...checkmate Libz!
Joke's on them. There was an Armalite AR16 rifle, designed to be easier to produce in less developed countries than the AR10 or AR15. It never went into production.
THEREFORE A "GHOST GUN"....
Hurrdurr you thought AR stood for assault rifle. It stands for ArmaLite Rifle. Now I can dismiss your arguments in favor of gun control.
Speaking of the NRA, do they still technically exist???
Yes, though they've changed to the "National Russian Association".
Is the A for Association anymore, or is it now Alliance?
RANT INCOMING: "GOD" is a DISMAL FAILURE.

OK, rant over (for now)
The Christian Heaven doesn't seem to be worth having your entire life suck in the meantime
Pretty sure I'm living in the Christian Hell every day
as father Guido Sarducci said: "if god created us in his image, wouldn't we all be invisible?"
That it spare the lives of innocents, so mote it be.

There are exceptions but often the people who have a reason to be around guns take them very very seriously.
There are a few states in the US which are former British colonies, just sayin'.
Also; too, in these sceptred isles the police aren't routinely armed.
Has Donnie claimed he did more for gun violence than any President in history yet?
For those who noticed, yes I worded it that way intentionally...
He wasn't my first choice, but Biden may well be the best president of my lifetime. Man has put in the work.
Still longing for the day a U.S. president can stand before the mics and cameras and say, "Nothing fails like prayer," but that shit ain't gonna happen in my lifetime.
"god moves in mysterious ways"
--the nuns throughout my school years
That vomitous cliche is the Christians' "You made me hit you"
So, has PAB attacked Pres. OHJB for wanting to make America safer from guns? That POS.
PAB?
"Pussy Ass Bitch", because it cannot be repeated enough...
