After Parkland and so many mass shootings that we have all lost count, Trump's response remains consistent. Even though a bi-partisan gun control bill is sitting on McConnell's desk awaiting a vote, Trump's rhetoric doesn't change:"I had lunch with the NRA and called Mitch McConnell. They are absolutely on board with doing nothing while I make vague promises which I'll retract the minute media attention dies down."

In case some members here have forgotten how actual government can work:

15 March 2019: New Zealand is shocked by exceptional mass killing in Christchurch Mosque
10 April 2019: "Legislation to restrict semi-automatic firearms and magazines with a capacity of more than 10 rounds, and provide an amnesty and buyback of such weapons was introduced and passed by the New Zealand parliament by 119 votes to 1." The process, from Bill to Law, took one week.

We're no New Zealand.

They had the sniffles and got concerned. We've had full blown AIDS for a while now and have gotten used to it.

Newtown had six year old gray matter splattered all over the classroom

If that ain’t enough it’s a lost cause

These last ones were just whatevs

Guns make rich people richer and this is America.

Dead children don’t mean **** here. Because we’re the most ****ed up deranged country on earth

And I’m going to say it over and over again

F uck America

I wish.

I’d immediately dismantle our nuclear arsenal.
I’d free every non-violent criminal immediately.
I’d execute anyone worth over $100,000,000
I’d ban the private automobile.
Free dental and medical. Doctors get $60,000. They don’t like it they can die instead.
The wealth of everyone over $100,000,000 and the military budget would all be distributed to the poor and schools and nutrition and health programs
Money would be phased out completely in ten years
There’d be mass sterilization programs. No escape rich or poor whatever
Everyone would have a modest but comfortable place to live
Places with really scenic value would be for vacation or visiting only.
Weapons would be illegal for everyone.
We’d invest in genetically modified fish and meat and everything
Plastics would only be used for very urgent needs
I’d make every adjustment possible to reach a zero carbon status. Very limited if travel. I’d make all the changes I don’t even know now. Like producing food sources locally. Nuclear power. Wind solar tidal whatever all of it.
After I implented every change neccesary to abolish hierarchy greed money violence and weapons and made every change possible to benefit everyone I would commit suicide on live tv as a statement that it’s wrong to have more power than others

Calling the ride "Adlerflug" ("Eagle's Flight") probably didn't go over too well with some folks, either.

Also I heard the ride had separate lines for men and women/children.

Instead of forcing you to exit through the gift shop everyone gets a free shower.

I heard they’re changing the name to “Macht Schnell”
