Horrific, but fuck all will be done

FFS! The US is a hopeless case.

I thought I was accustomed to this stuff, but reading that made my blood run cold.

Horrifying.

America has Stockholm Syndrome when it comes to guns.

I’m failing to give a shit I’m afraid. Americans know what they have to do, enough of them want a basic level of gun control. The fact they dont do it is entirely their own fault.

If they wanted to get really serious they could just change the constitution, as they could on abortion.

I love the way Joe Biden tweets his whole ā€œsomething has to be done hereā€ stuff. Who is he talking to, someone who has more power than him?

I remember an Obama interview towards the end of his presidency when he was talking about what he’d achieved and, very honestly, about what he hadn’t. He said that he’d been surprised to find how little absolute power he actually had. If he had his time again he’d like to come back as someone with more power. ā€œLike who ?ā€ asked the interviewer. He came straight back with ā€œA focus group member in a swing stateā€.

There was an old story that used to do the rounds, Roosevelt I think, who couldn’t get anything through the House. One day out on the Whitehouse lawn he mentioned that there were too many squirels around. The next day there were none.

In America, it really is the people who have the power, if only they recognised that.
