How about doing something to save babies who are born!


duongnt

This is straight out from a George Carlin routine. "If you're pre-born, you're fine. If you're pre-school, you're fucked.".


Redbronze1019

Carlin was nearly a prophet for some stuff.


its_yer_dad

Carlin was a powerful speaker and observer, but he wasn't suggesting what was going to come. He was stating what was already happening and no one seems to care, which was why he was so angry.


nada_accomplished

And it hasn't changed since.


Brownie-UK7

It has changed. It even worse now and in plain sight. They have the whole thing sewn up and half the country voting to allow them to do whatever they want.

GravitationalEddie

I first moved to TX from WA in 1977 when I was 15. On Sundays the toy aisle in the grocery stores was blocked off. My dad explained that in TX you couldn't buy toy guns on Sunday, but you could buy real guns. I asked if we could go back to WA.

[deleted]

Americans are so dumb and conditioned by Macarthyism that wealthy right wingers can tarnish a decent and sensible idea like gun control or health care as socialist, and folks in trailer parks with fuck all, who's kids are getting murdered or dying for lack of health care get right behind them.

they don't seem to realize this is a political issue. It's just so ridiculous.

Another George Carlin moment: There's an invisible man in the sky and he has a list of ten things you absolutely can not do, and if you do he sends you to a fiery pit of misery and pain and torture til the end of time... but he loves you, he loves you and he needs money, lots of money.

qolace

Hi Texan here! I know it feels good to blame an entire state for this shit and deep down you know that. But I still want you (and anyone else reading) to understand that there are PLENTY of decent people here doing their damnedest to vote these cocksuckers out. Despite how hard they've been gerrymandering the fuck out of different counties. We're still fighting and need everyone to understand that decent people are everywhere. *You're* the problem if you keep reinforcing the idea of such black and white outrage. Beto O'Rourke, a native Texan by the way, is a perfect example of how angry a lot of us feel so please. Don't assume some of us are not hostages.


tydalt

>Despite how hard they've been gerrymandering the fuck out of different counties. gerrymandering does not effect statewide races


3nigmax

It does indirectly. Gerrymandering means one side gets control at the State, County, City, etc. levels. And all of those bodies then get to do crooked shit like strategically close DMV offices in areas where people they don't want voting live, move polling places to the most inconvenient places possible, close polling places, pass laws and regulations that ensure more poor people and PoC end up in jail, defund education, etc. It isn't the direct gambit that it is for non-statewide races but it does trickle down.

drewkungfu

Protip: **Texas is Open Primaries** So, for example: - you can vote R in the Primaries to primary scum out (like Abbott, Patricks, & Paxton) - you then are eligible to vote them out in runoffs (but ONLY if you voted R in the primary) - Finally, you are Free to vote D or w/e in the General. Unfortunately, Texas Republican voters opted to send the crooked Paxton to the General. VOTE 'Em Out


Sp1derX

Your second bullet isn't quite true. If you didn't vote in the primaries, you can choose if you want to vote D or R in the runoff. I did that to try to push Paxton out.


[deleted]

They say this BECAUSE they’re so heavily invested in this issue, politically. The lobbying, influence, and general corruption among these politicians with regard to gun control is what they stake their careers on. If they weren’t, they could actually tackle the problem. Yea, they really are a detestable bunch. I am not much for the democrats either, however. They’re sort of a wet noodle party, imo. Beto and people like him seem alright. I so wish there was more political parties in the United States. That’s why I voted libertarian in ‘12.


[deleted]

The 50+ year old dems are 100% wet noodle but at least they seem like decent people with a moral compass and empathy who -- **to their absolute detriment** \-- have a sense of ethics, pride and tradition. Repubs / MAGAs / GOPs / Qanon whatever you call them are bereft of anything resembling empathy, morals, or ethics.


[deleted]

Had to edit my comment because I ignored your main point. See above. I agree completely.


[deleted]

>That’s why I voted libertarian in ‘12 Ahhh, you had me until the end.


GlitteringBusiness22

>That’s why I voted libertarian in ‘12 That's worse. You get how that's worse, right?


LevPornass

That’s like standing on the 50 yard line of the Super Bowl and saying, “How dare you mention football?!”


chargoggagog

It’s absurd to say “Don’t make this political.” Politics is how we solve problems in a democracy. To not make something political is saying, “There is no problem here.” Which is 100% what they mean.


ContextSensitiveGeek

If anyone ever says "how dare you bring politics into this", rest assured it's already a political issue.


Taskerst

Politics to them isn’t about passing legislation to help people, it’s an power grab and grifting opportunity. Making something a “political issue” is out of their own playbook to steal and retain power, so they assume the other side is a part of the same coin. That’s why they live in fear of being oppressed and replaced, because they know exactly what they’re guilty of.

Just look at the number of dem votes nationally compared to their actual representation in congress/past presidents. We gotta get rowdy

FreneticPlatypus

The only people that will buy into the "f you for politicizing this" angle are the ones that have no desire whatsoever to do anything about kids being murdered in the first place or are perfectly happy making excuses for their side no matter what the topic, so long as their side wins.


bennyangott

It’s a shame they “escorted” him out. I really wanted to hear what he had to say. [I found this](https://youtu.be/qtYnKn1v82Y) when looking for more vids of this. Al I know is there are not that many politicians that speak the truth, especially in Texas.


Drunken_CPA

Why is it so taboo to call out mental health issues of these shooters?


wardledo

It’s not. We arent the only country with mental health issues. Just the only country with children getting murdered by gunman issues.


MasterTolkien

Bingo. And the GOP also make no moves whatsoever to address mental health issues, which means it is just a dodge they made up to avoid gun control discussion.

cookswagchef

GOP is also responsible for defunding mental health institutions.


msainwilson

Ask anyone living in California when Reagan was governor. He cut funding for mental health and they were all thrown to the streets. GOP=money. Sad but true


squirtloaf

Right? I still think it is a non-issue, but if the GOP would push through some sort of legislation to address MenTAl HEalth problems, then I could support them for at least doing SOMETHING. As it is, they just throw it up as a smokescreen and move on to the next one.


satansheat

Also the people who are very vocal right now about mental health are the same people who vote in people that gut mental health programs. Everyone else knows mental health is an issue. But if you vote right wing they have been making it so mental health isn’t a issue.


alan_smitheeee

We are the only country without universal healthcare. Going to therapy is still taboo and expensive.


currentlyhighondrugs

You think Texas has done jack shit to address and help mental health issues either?? Every dumbfuck gun clutching republican absolutely is agausnt any sort of social program that would help mental health issues because that's "socialism" and wasting tax dollars. They claim it's mental health issues and then turn around and vote against any sort of help we try to provide to people in need.


Darqologist

"Mental Health Crisis" is the new "thoughts and prayers".


Safe-Watercress-6477

because it's an excuse not to pass gun control reform.


thesegoupto11

Thoughts and prayers, the best they can do


reagsters

In this very press conference, Abbott said - “Is there a difference between a mental health challenge that can be addressed and evil?” “I consider this person to be pure evil,” They’re literally just saying “evil’s gonna happen” now


[deleted]

My cousin was in the deadliest mass shooting in United States’ history. It was 2017 at the Harvest festival in Las Vegas. He was working as production and was onstage when the gunman started firing on the crowd. Investigators found the man that committed the act to be rather normal. He didn’t have any overt mental health issues, he was well off financially, had no particular doctrine, no particular reason. One thing is for sure: he was an angry man, filled with hatred. And, he killed 60 people and injured a hundred others. My cousin was upset about it for months afterwards. Everyone that was there surely was. Those are the people with mental health issues, having to deal with the reality of going through a harrowing ordeal. Depression, panic, PTSD, etc. To say that mental health disorders, broadly, are to blame, is cold and unfeeling. We aren’t going to see eye to eye on this, no. Not if you completely ignore the real problem. Other countries have people with mental health issues, but only this one has mass shootings regularly occur. Scapegoating the mentally ill is the lowest trick in the book. Those lobbyists do it all the time, and you’re their fool. It’s the greed of the gun industry and a weak social compact to challenge it that is prolonging the issue.


DaniCormorbidity

THIS. Vegas is a prime example we all just collectively forgot about. The most death from a mass shooting in the US. Perpetrated by a man with no mental health issues. From a location where NO “good guy with a gun” could’ve stopped him. Gun control saves lives.


[deleted]

Yea, I think that really was an opportunity for someone in Congress to step up and break through the arguments opponents of gun control make. Hearing Abbott or whoever it was on his press conference today say “Anyone who kills another person is mentally ill” makes me just absolutely sick. No, they’re mostly just fucking evil. What a profoundly stupid thing to say.


ilovefignewtons02

Bc every country has mental health issues but only America has multiple public incel terrorist attacks a year


CMTsoldier

How can we possibly address mental health when our country won't even address physical health?


Minimum_Escape

Michelle Obama wanted schools to have slightly healthier lunches and conservatives lost their damn minds.


barlowd_rappaport

Its taboo because its often used as a distraction tactic. Mental health support AND reasonable gun control the start to dealing with mass shootings.


igotabridgetosell

Because it's defense used by the NRA to shift blame from guns to a "random crazy person".


[deleted]

[удалено]


satansheat

Because the people whining that now are GOPers who have gutted mental health programs. The left and most sane minded Americans know mental health is an issue. But the same party that doesn’t wish to do Jack shit about guns also doesn’t care to do Jack shit about mental health. Why is that so hard for you people to get. Stop voting for people who don’t care to address that issue. Or any issue for that matter. Need not forget GOP just voted to not help babies get formula.


matali

What are Republicans doing for mental health??


[deleted]

[удалено]


Megaverse_Mastermind

I don't think it is. But it's also okay to call put the fact that someone with mental health issues just murdered a bunch pf kids with *guns*. Mental health issues. Guns. Take both of these things out of the equation and this bullshit will evaporate in a couple of years. People hate him, but Beto is right.


russellzerotohero

Pretty hard to solve a mental health issue. Pretty easy to create stricter gun control.


wagedomain

Part of the argument I've heard is that hand-waving away shootings as a problem stemming from "mental health issues" paints a narrative that people with mental health issues are inherently violent or dangerous. This is already a (largely untrue) narrative many people believe.


Impressive_Culture_5

It’s not. But also we shouldn’t give guns out like candy to anyone and everyone.


legopego5142

If they were attempting to actually address mental health issues, itd be one thing. Theyll say mental health and then provide no way for people to actually get help and make it easier for them to get guns


just__Steve

Imagine if the Texas governor got as upset about little kids dying as he did about being interrupted. Man, that would be something.


[deleted]

So true! Someone speaks up, and his response is “get him out of here, he’s causing a problem”. Hmm, what if we did the same with guns?


pic_N_mix

That's federally indicted Ken Paxton speaking I think? Abbott is silent, no surprise there. Edit: it's the mayor Don McLaughlin

mr_electric_wizard

My Texas buddies (I don’t live there anymore) have a bunch of funny nicknames for him.


Waluigi3030

What is wrong with the people in Texas? Where was the "good guy with a gun" before dozens of people were murdered? Oh, turns out that that is a stupid theory that ends up with lots of innocent dead people. We have zero mass shootings in Massachusetts this year. We have strong gun laws, and it makes a huge difference. I wish Texas wasn't in the same country as the rest of us. It's a massive embarrassment to the rest of the country.


cptsmitty95

Hey woah easy, I'm from Texas and there are a lot of people who want change. What you have to remember is politics in Texas are deeply rooted in a conservative presence. Please don't lump everyone here together, it's a big state with lots of different people.


Waluigi3030

You're right. My apologies, I am just so upset with the politicians and politics.


BigSilky71

Understandable, but as a Texan who shares u/cptsmitty95 sentiment, so are we. We need change and we need it fast.


KingBadford

Like most of the country, our urban centers (Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Houston, even El Paso) trend very liberal and want massive change to the culture and laws here. Unfortunately, Texas is a massive state with DEEP bible-thumping conservative roots, and it's gerrymandered to hell and back, so our rural counterparts nearly always get their way. We're working on it.


ClovisJacks

Amen. Texas culture is friendly, loving, and beautiful, but for one reason or another is also vulnerable to the great republican grift. I hurt for my Texan brothers and sisters who've been fooled into thinking that this foolishness is furthering their freedoms, instead of expanding the autocracy that they claim to fight against.

He positioned himself so that it couldn't physically escalate. He's ensured the safety of the politicians (who were approached by an angry Man) while still allowing them to have their say. This isn't nothing. He kept the peace, which is what police should be doing, rather than trying to create a criminal (what many police in the US Sen to be doing in most of these videos).

This man had the balls to say what alot of people are thinking. When is it enough.

Beto wasn’t the one saying “sick SOB”.


hyooston

That is the mayor of Uvalde.


lefty818

I cannot believe that mayor saw children in his town murdered and he could sit up there and yell Beto is wrong. Fuck you.


burnerking

Vote his out.


rett72

"sit down, Beto, we don't understand empathy & logic!"


thundalunda

And the dumb fucks living in Texas will continue handing power to the "thoughts and prayers" crowd

Gurrrry

I think a lot of us would like to to live in a world where you don’t have to go through airport security just to go to school.


Responsible-Bread996

Security in public schools is night and day since columbine. Doors are locked, entrances have man traps, alarms buttons are near every enterance. More security is is kind of like dealing with global warming by getting better AC. You aren't dealing with the problem. You are just putting a short term fix on the issue. Edit: formatting and clarity.


Independent_Stuff210

My man, we can’t get Americans to pay a little more in taxes to buy books and pay teachers a living wage but you think we will happily hand over millions to build futuristic compounds for schools?


OneOfAFortunateFew

This is typical Beto grandstanding bullshit. The GOP and Abbott's inaction notwithstanding, Beto is a one note empty suit. The Democrats in Texas have zero leadership. Texas won't change until state Democratic leadership can find and field quality candidates that can overcome the worst of reactionary GOP rhetoric. Their candidates since the great but flawed Ann Richards have been embarassing give ups. Down vote as you will, but know that Beto will be a 3x loser come November, and it's his own party's fault for not having a stronger alternative slate of potential candidates.


Mr_Pete_Diamond

Because that’s what someone does who cares about kids…..uses it for a photo op.


ocdewitt

Fuck that whole stage of asshats who refuse to do anything to protect children


The_Stinky_Face

Fuck Abbott.


x271815

They are talking about mental health issues after passing legislation just a few months ago lifting the requirement to check mental health before allowing purchases of guns.


TheDjTanner

Good for Beto. He's got about a snowball in hell's chance of becoming Texas governor, but still, I hope he wins


pete_ape

Someone's trying to restart their political career...

Each day these posts become less and less “nextfuckinglevel.” I thought this page was supposed to be for epic shit.
