Is the same guy who said "plan on shooting anyone you meet'?mmmm8 wrote: ↑Mon May 08, 2023 1:33 am This is an actual quote from an actual elected official for the Dallas suburb where this happened (and where I have family members living)
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/06/us/a ... oting.htmlRepresentative Keith Self, a Republican who represents Allen, Texas, said on CNN that critics who are calling for more than “thoughts and prayers” after Saturday’s shooting “don’t believe in almighty God, who is absolutely in control of our lives.” Instead, he said, the country’s lack of “mental health institutions” is to blame.
“Really I would like to stay away from the politics today because I want to focus on the victims, today we should be focused on the families,” he said. “Prayers are important and they are important in the families that are devastated right now.”

Great example of how ignorance works.

Sounds like child abuse, maybe a call should be made to social services about how this child is being emotionally abused, in public.ti-amie wrote: ↑Thu May 25, 2023 9:05 pm Ken White

There's a side to me that really enjoys when Florida or Texas gets thrashed by weather.

I was wondering where the governor of that state will decamp to this time.
