The Hill writes, “Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Thursday gave the greenlight to bipartisan talks on legislation to curb gun violence, revealing that he has asked Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), one of his advisors, to negotiate with Democrats. McConnell said he is hopeful of reaching a bipartisan agreement to respond to the recent mass shootings in Buffalo, N.Y., and Uvalde, Texas. But the leader cautioned the negotiations should not veer off onto proposals not directly related to the recent violence that left 21 people dead, including 19 school children.”
This is all f***ing B.S. Do not believe that the human turtle McConnell intends to negotiate in good faith. I’ll tell you exactly what’s going on here. RepubliKKKlans are simply biding their time and setting up the football as Lucy does for Charlie Brown. They are, once again, waiting out the situation because they understand that America’s ire will eventually wane, and people will return to their daily lives, forgetting about the latest school massacre and the need for gun law reform. And, once again, dumbass Democrats are being set up by RepubliKKKlans with this fake desire to do a “bipartisan agreement” on something — anything — about gun control.
Look, morons! This is how it’s going to play out. There will be meetings and announcements of meetings and post-meeting briefings and charades of “progress” in these meetings. Ultimately RepubliKKKlans will pull the plug on negotiations when they’ve deemed enough time has passed to cool public sentiment. The human turtle will blame Democrats for failing to concede anything, which, of course, in RepubliKKKlan speak means Democrats rebuked the RepubliKKKlan “my way or the highway” demands. And Democrats will have been right to do so.
Nonetheless, dumbass Democrats, as usual, will fail to forcefully and thoroughly blame RepubliKKKlans for intentionally sabotaging the process, and the public will believe the RepubliKKKlan story because this is stupid America, and RepubliKKKlans always win the messaging war, especially when Democrats are in control of the House and Senate. Since Americans are morons and do not fully apprehend the limitations of the numbers game in the Senate, they’ll believe RepubliKKKlans’ claim that Democrats are in control of Congress and thus failed to “work with us,” which, again, is coded RepubliKKKlan speak to mean Democrats would not capitulate because conservatives’ idea of “compromise” is to demand everything unconditionally and yield nothing. Just watch and mark my words. Democrats will get the blame as RepubliKKKlans get away with enabling the next massacre, only to have the entire process start over again. Welcome to stupid America!
