A true "liberal" respects the right of due process. The far left, not so much.

The big difference between the far left's "red flag laws" and the laws that have existed for many years in every state to commit mentaly ill people is due process. Hearings for commitment of the mentally ill respect the right of due process. "Red flag laws" do not. Conservativwes have always asked why "red flag laws" are necessary when laws for involuntary commitment of mentally ill persons already exist, and the snswer is simple. The far left wants to take guns without affording their owner the right of due process of law.

If someone really is mentally ill, they should have lots of restrictions. They should at least have some in-patient care in most cases, and if let out into the world, they need restrictions on all types of weapons, or things that could be used as weapons, like cars.

The father of the nutter who shot up the Georgia school should be charged with accessory before the fact to four counts of first degree murder. After law enforcement told him that his son was making posts about shooting up a school, the idiot father gave the son a rifle. What did he expect? Both need the death penalty.

That’s right but every American needs their gun regardless of mental state. It’s a slippery slope so we just can’t do anything. If we deny a nut his gun, where will it stop? No. More guns is the only any. Not one Republican has ever lost his job over this. Sorry kids. You’re just going to have to suck it up. Hope you make it.

Well, this is just another mental health issue. These nutjobs ought to be in mental asylums instead of normal schools.

What is important is being able to defend our homes and our families, and the Biden-Harris regime's importation of all of those foreign criminals makes this more imperative.

On the Georgia shooting, the FBI screwed up big time. They knew about this wacked out kid and did nothing. They are more intereted in cracking down on parents going to school boards to complain about woke indocirination than they are about nutjob kids who are a threat to their classmates.

And Kamala Harris? If she had her way, the school resource officers would not have been there to stop the shooting and a lot more would have been hit.

I think you are ignoring the other breaking story.

Tenet Media and its owner Lauren Chen, are who took the money from the Russians, and they have been working to undercut Trump. That is probably why they were given the money. The people lower down did probably know nothing about the Russian money, and were apparently given a BS story by Chen.

This whole sorry representation of an unknowledgeable self-governed people is reminiscent of the classic film "Being There," a farcical treatise of an unknown - Chauncey Gardner (Chance the Gardner) - an illiterate, illegitimate and hidden grown son of a Washington, DC insider, played by the great Peter Sellers. This naively kind stranger to the real world, thus moving in certain Liberal circles, finds himself somehow celebrated, and serendipitously worthy of consideration as a Presidential candidate for that United States, an America as directionless in the film, "Being There," as it is now.

The joke here is on that self-governed public, who had become so shallow and vapid that electing a president is more of a "good vibe" thing than picking a qualified leader in dangerous times ... like now; these most uncertain of days ahead.

The great irony here is that Hollywood created this fine and most prophetic film, when so many of their functionally vapid celebrities would now, about 4 decades later, support a candidate like the pathetically stupid Kamala Harris because of the "vibe" her hastily repackaged persona reveals to their "special" Leftist intellect.

The moral of that story, "Being There": Never underestimate the stupidity of fellow Americans, especially elites, who are indoctrinated to comply with what is easy or feels right, rather than know the basics of a proper path toward the wisdom of a Good People.

You might want to re-read that story. This isn’t even close to the truth. Hehehehee

What is funny is the tantrum being pitched by national Chancellor Schultz of the Social Democrats, whose own party and their national allies got creamed in these elections, demanding that the AfD not be allowed into either state government. Kowtowing to similar demands by Macron in France has just split France's traditional conservative Les Republicains in two, and the CDU faces a similar risk.

The math in Thuringia almost requires including the AfD, which won 32 or the 45 seats needed for a majority. They could get a solid majority either as a right of center coalition with the CDU's 23 seats or a right / left populist coalition with the BSW's 15 seats.

Building a coalition led by the CDU is not mathematically possible without including the Left Party, which in Thuringia is the old East German Communist Party. If they rebuke the populist right to go with the barely reformed ex-communists, it is unlikely that CDU voters in Thuringia or elsewhere in Germany would stand for it. Such a coalition would also not be mathematically possible without having both the Left Party and the BSW both in it, and there is lots of bad blood betwwen those two parties.

Saxony also has challenging math. To get a 61 seat majority, the most logical is combining the CDU's 41 seats and the AfD's 40 seats. That is the only two party coalition that is even possible and for either to build a multi-party coalition would require a lot of strange bedfellows.
