In 2016, Barack Obama required the Social Security Administration to submit records of mentally disabled people to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, the FBI database used to determine whether someone can buy a firearm under the 1993 Brady Bill. This applied to approximately 75,000 people deemed to be mentally defective.  

On February 28, 2017,  Trump signed a bill to undo Obama’s important executive action, thereby allowing those individuals with mental problems to purchase weapons.   House NRA Representatives voted 235 to 180 and Senate NRA Representatives voted 57 to 43 in favor of voiding these protections. 

Now, these same NRA Representatives are claiming they can’t imagine how the Parkland shooting happened. They will look into it, but, “now is not the time to bring it up.”  “Too soon.” “But, it’s not guns…”

VERY IMPORTANT! - trump successfully diverted attention all week with his false rhetoric, tweets and insults, defaming veterans, Puerto Ricans, widows of dead soldiers, a Black Congresswoman, and who knows how much more, while his new, "old friend," Mitch McConnell set his Mongol Army on American Citizens. trump is the beginning of the final chapter of the Republican effort to show, Democracy doesn't work. The Country doesn't work. To bring down the Whole Country and Stephen  Bannon STATED VERBALLY and in PRINT he wanted to do. Reduce the Federal Government to a small "caretaker" government, where the citizens MUST rely strictly on their own for survival, no matter the circumstances. NO ENTITLEMENTS of any source (MEDICARE and SOCIAL SECURITY ARE NOT ENTITLEMENTS.  BEWARE OF trump's TRICKS. Now you can see how they work.  > trump did his job.

Hypocrites or not? You decide..

. SHELDON METZ · SUNDAY, MAY 1, 2016 To my ultra-religious friends who quote bible passages and support Trump, how about hearing this when he speaks on TV? Actual quotes fro a rally: DROPPING THE F - BOMB: "The Donald," as he is known, enters the arena, more as a billboard for self inflicted controversy. The supreme aggrandizer, somehow, stays in the game. Willing to use opening phrases such as, "Listen You Mother F*ckers …," which is cool, if your, you know, watching a film by Martin Scorsese, a play by David Mamet or listening to a rap song by Ice Cube, but as a presidential candidate, this is not cool at all. Once he gets a taste for the reaction, the audiences nervous laughter, the cussing continues. On Foreign Policy: "We build a school, we build a road, they blow up the school, we build another school, we build another road they blow them up, we build again, in the meantime we can't get a f*cking school in Brooklyn."

Trump’s great satirical performance

Republicans, lie after lie, still support the Agent Orange-in-Chief. They know he lies, admit it in fact, yet still “believe in him.” How can that be? He recently held a Cabinet meeting, similar to one held a year ago, where he gave his sycophant Cabinet Secretaries the opportunity to praise glory on the exalted Russian lackey, himself - one of his greatest satirical performances. Trump: “Every day, Border Patrol encounters roughly 2,000 illegal immigrants … trying to enter our country. …”  Fact:  The daily number of what he calls “illegals” is actually about 1,000.  Trump (regarding Foreign Aid): “… the Democrats… want $12 billion additional for foreign aid… It’s $54.4 billion… but in foreign aid, they want 12 billion over the $54 billion…”  Fact: The total fiscal 2018 budget for the State Department ($12 billion), and foreign operations including foreign aid, $42 billion. Republicans control the Senate. Trump: “(Afghanistan) built the library in Afghan...
