Republicans will hand a 5 year old a gun, force a 10 year old to carry her rapist's baby to term, allow a grown man to marry an 11 year old and send a 12 year old to work in a meatpacking plant, but the 18 year old they’ll happily send off to war isn’t “old enough” to vote?
JJ Redick got heated on First Take this morning
“WHY ARE WE TRYING TO LAY DOWN THE HAMMER ON A 23-YEAR-OLD WHO DIDN’T BREAK A LAW? EXPLAIN THAT TO ME !”

Greg Abbott didn’t call special session after 23 murdered by white supremacist in El Paso or after 700 died when power grid failed but GOP holding special session to make it harder to vote after finding only 16 false addresses on registration forms out of 11 million votes in 2020
Why are people so mad about people wearing masks outside? If they want to wear masks after the biggest mass death event in the US in generations, let them. Why does someone else wearing a mask bother you? Do you get mad when other people wear their seatbelt?
I wish George Floyd was asked nicely. I wish Breonna Taylor was asked nicely. I wish Trayvon Martin was asked nicely. I wish Philando Castile was asked nicely. I wish Eric Garner was asked nicely. I wish Michael Brown was asked nicely. I wish Tamir Rice was asked nicely. I wish..
A lot of this boils down to these people never being told no. It’s not even about the masks they’re just used to doing whatever whenever. They don’t think they have to follow rules.
