Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. tried to nudge Republicans into taking up a domestic terrorism bill that had cleared the House quickly last week after mass shootings at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York, and a church in Southern California targeting people of color. He said it could become the basis for negotiation.
“We've got about 10 members, equal numbers on both sides,” said Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., who is leading the negotiations. “We have a good list of things to work on.” He added that the group plans to follow up with a phone call next week. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, who has said little about gun legislation since the several tragedies have unfolded, told reporters he met with Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas earlier and encouraged senators to work together across the aisle on workable outcomes.
“What had broad bipartisan support two years ago, because of the political climate we find ourselves in ... or to be more specific, the political climate Republicans find themselves in, we're not able to stand up against domestic terrorism,” Schneider, who came into office in the wake of the Sandy Hook school shooting, told The Associated Press.

I remember the US under Bush Sr, Clinton, GW, and Obama. All were polarizing. At worst, people wished Baby Bush would have chocked on his stupid pretzel. These days though, governments are hated. Not disliked, but HATED. Instead of blaming the people, they should figure out why.
This is probably a good idea as they've tried to label parents complaining at school board meetings as domestic terrorists, but not rioters who occupy city blocks. It's time to get some perspective.If governments are terrified of their own citizens they should ask themselves why.

Senate Republicans block domestic terrorism bill, gun policy debateThe vote in the U.S. Senate failed nearly along party lines, raising fresh doubts about the possibility of robust debate, let alone eventual compromise, on gun safety measures I guess the real question is what was actually in the bill. In typical Dem fashion they like to throw in a bunch of nonsense. Domestic terrorism will increase. USA is bleeding. American citizens beholden to Gog nation control its financial policies. Inflation is the most powerful tool to destroy nations. Republicans want chaos. Then they hope to rule & bring order. But there will be no order to bring.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp defeats David Perdue in GOP primaryGeorgia Gov. Brian Kemp defeated his Donald Trump-backed challenger David Perdue on Tuesday after a furious push by the former president to punish Kemp for not overturning the 2020 election results. Kemp's victory sets up another general election race against Democrat Stacey Abrams, who was unopposed in her primary. I wish they would run someone good against Kemp. Abrams is one of the worst politicians i have ever witnessed and is just a platitude machine with no real belief system other than “democrats good”. She’s gonna get her ass kicked again. Off course he did. It was never close. The media just wanted to make it look close and tension filled.
