    I said this year ago, which is why I wanted Desantis to run, Trump will beat DeSantis in the Primary, and Newsome will float to the middle in the General Election and win. Followed by Gen Z electing more left-leaning congress members. Will lose a few justices and the court will swing to the left. In 10-12 years gun ownership will look very different.

    Bookmark this and see if I was right:) GOP needs to get back to actual governing, or we are doomed.

    First he shot his way into the bank from the look of things. Second they fired a 25 yr old with pronouns. Please if you haven't woke up from your fantasy land to realize he was down the social media rabbit hole and a potential danger ,well.........
    Everywhere these kids, yes he was still a kid, are taught one thing. If you are not getting everything you want VIOLENCE IS THE SOLUTION. Riots, bullying, murder

    Now the Biden administration has openly martered theses woke shooters. Giving attention grabbing kids the incentive they craved.

    the
    press needs to give the public ZERO details about the shooter - no name, no school history etc, bury them in an unmarked grave - no 15 minutes of fame

    The suspect was named as 25-year-old Connor Sturgeon, hell no he was not a kid. A grown ass man. It’s bullshit and a complete lie to call him a kid. Please quit.

    I've been around ppl for 65 yrs. I've worked with kids in high school and young adults in the work place and my kids ages. "Adults " are not what they use to be. Their brains do not function the same as when I was that age. They do not have the same maturity. If you want a fully functioning rational adult brain these days your looking at over 25 going to 30 IMOs and experience.
    My generation most 25 year Olds were married and starting families. I had my first child at 25. I had already had jobs been earning a living. Half these kids are barely out of college at 25. Life experience drives an adult functioning brain

    BTW
    THAT IS NOT TO SAY some 16 year Olds couldn't be considered adults IF they had life experience that nurtured rational thinking. Like a job , structured life, responsibility a core group of IN PERSON FREINDS. not lines on a screen. Unfortunately MOST kids today have little or none of that. Handed everything , responsible for little and leave college to go back to live with mommy and Daddy. Oh and my daughter was chief of staff at a prominent college. Let me tell you they are not held accountable in college either and mom and dad help with that. She was routinely called every name in the book and life threatened by parents trying to make sure their kids continued not being responsible.

    Think of your workplaces. At any given time, maybe 1 in 10 of your colleagues has an ongoing mini or acute mental health problem...they may or may not be taking any medication or seeing a counselor. Some of us had parents with mental health problems growing up yet they hid it and suffered through those episodes with little to no help. Mental health problems which include homicidal and suicidal tendencies can be hidden....until all hell breaks loose.

    Our ability to contain this insanity is extremely difficult.

    I been around ppl for 50 years. I’ve been a foster parent for 20 years. My son was in Afghanistan at 19 he was a grown man. All my kids have been adults at 18. I have treated them as such and they have reacted as such.

    If people really feel this way quit sending kids to war, giving them cars, letting them vote, letting them drink.

    I clearly don't have to re mention my childhood. That said both parent at different times tried to kill all three of us. Ya know what the worst thing that came out of all that for me was? A complete lack of tolerance towards those that lack the mental capacity to step back and see what strength such struggle actually blessed them with. Embrace the knowledge they maneuvered through someone else's crazy to attempt to be better than what they came from. So look at life's s-t show and say, " some out there has it far worse than me" and move the F on with making things better.
    So if that is a flaw in my personality so be it. I every day try to make at least one person smile or laugh and I will gladly listen to other people's problems because venting is a needed coping mechanisms. Wallowing in pitty and a defeatist everything is someone else fault thrusted on you is Not needed, yet too often is the go to for many.

    for 1.6% they are some loud complaining PITA. Seriously every commercial on TV and ads for shows, ramming it down societies throats. People are getting sick of their crap and demands. Trans males in womens sports is an insult to REAL women, but what is trying to be forced, what is considered an injustice? Be a person you will get my respect, try identity BS with me, not having it I will call you by name, you know like I do everybody else don't like that it is not my issue it is yours. PS there is help for mental illness that does not require hormone therapy or body mutilation.
