@EricLDaugh True class? Is this the same person who said: I’m working my a** off on the Christmas stuff ... who gives a f*** about the Christmas stuff and decorations? and was friends with Epstein & Maxwell and knew underaged women were being trafficked, and who posed nude for British GQ?
Heeeey, @michaelfranti - so looking forward to the show at the Greek in LA Sunday the 20th. It's my birthday!! Any chance, I can still purchase VIP tix for 2? Site says they are sold out. :(
Republicans are going mad over President Biden’s new Executive Order strengthening Gun Background checks. They say it's "unconstitutional" because the 2nd Amendment states “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed,”
FACTS matter though, so here are the facts:
In the more than 100 years that background check laws have existed, no court has ever deemed them unconstitutional under the Second Amendment. There have been approximately 5 million firearm sales denied in the US since 1994 and not a single court challenge has ever been overturned due to 2nd Amendment concerns.
Gun permits are denied for the following reasons after a background check:
- Convicted of crime punishable by prison for more than 1 year.
- Fugitive from justice
- Addicted or illegally using controlled substance
- Certain mental illnesses
- Illegally in the U.S.
- Dishonorably discharged from US Military.
- Court order for threats, talking or harassment.
- Domestic violence conviction.
- Under the age of 18 and/or 21.
Why do Republicans think these people should own guns?
Conservatives seem to be the ones sexualizing things unnecessarily. Cross dressing is not introducing children to sex. Geraldine (Flip Wilson) was seen by many in the 70s (including me as a child) & it was just good, clean fun. Much like so many drag shows today.
So fun! The anticipation leading up to the release of Season 3 is like the time just before Christmas! Im such a fan, I dressed as Ted at last Halloween. #TedLasso#TodayShow#BeCuriousNotJudgemental
“I am not awake enough for this.” 😂 Hannah Waddingham chats about the biscuit glow-up on #TedLassoSeason3 and introduces us to the “biscuit of champions." 🏆
While much of this is factual, there IS a generation between Boomers & Ys that, once again, is not mentioned. 🤨 Many GenXers became entrepreneurs and/or worked very hard to create our own way since Boomers were the majority of workforce & dominated many aspects of society.

I explain how the Me Generation fettered the 21st century economy by pulling up the ladder on immigration, housing and productive investment https://t.co/X5bLnxdYzC
Many want to give funds to political parties or charities. Please investigate the source. Your $ doesn't always go where you think it is going & the "perks" are not always real. Case in point:

About to watch the game with a nod to Tommy. Will enjoy 2 of his favs, pasta (spinach & ricotta tortiglioni bake) & wine (a Lasorda Cab). #GoBlue#GoDodgers
THE INFLATION REDUCTION ACT WAS A FANTASTIC STEP TOWARD LOWERING CARBON EMISSIONS & WE SHOULD CELEBRATE BUT IF WE STOP FIGHTING FOR FUTURE CLIMATE ACTION THEN WE AREN'T DOING WHAT'S SCIENTIFICALLY NECESSARY TO SAVE OUR PLANET. WE SHOULD START BY ELIMINATING FOSSIL FUEL SUBSIDIES
Because they are mad about Democrats reducing the cost of prescription drugs and making billion dollar corporations pay a 15 percent minimum tax, Republicans just punished veterans who are victims of burn pits. If someone put this in an attack ad, it would sound like a wild lie.
