Ahhhhhh fuuuuuuuuck.
Everything about this is so bad.
Get ready for Sinema to do her little thumbs down sashay in an outfit that looks like it’s from Forever 21 when it comes time for the Senate to vote on gun control.
Also, let’s see if fewer Democrats vote no than the number of people killed in Boulder.
Our government is a mostly-failed experiment that needs some serious tweaks made to it in order to make it more equitable and more representative of the actual population, but that won’t happen because the people who are in it and are in control of doing so need to maintain the status quo for the sake of their job security.
So bend over and take your one in the thoughts and two in the prayers, and be thankful that COVID brought the rise of the gig economy so you can stay home and send someone else to the grocery store to get shot for you.
When America decided that the lives of twenty first-graders could be snuffed out and we’d do absolutely nothing to stop it from ever happening again, it was all over.
We had a chance and we didn’t take it. There was never any coming back from that.
