@benroyce
I've read some about this. From what I've read the mentally ill are no more prone to violence than general society is, and when they do violence it tends to be to family members, not the public at large.

So it's the guns.

@benroyce He has that bass ackwards. The guns flow from the USA into the Cartels, not the other way around.
@benroyce He wants to force all pregnant women to carry to term, or to death, against their will… and I say that any hospital that does not serve the medical needs of the people it serves, based solely on religion, should get both no tax breaks and no federal/state funding.
@benroyce that is ridiculous. Women in Georgia shouldn't have to fly to California to get HEALTHCARE.
@benroyce “that’s my story and I’m sticking to it” and nobody will question him very hard about it
@benroyce venture capital /literally/ strip mined companies like Red Lobster, Toys R Us, Kaybee Toys, and more. Probably Sears, too.
@benroyce she did,huh? She personally did? It was a worldwide phenomenon but she personally caused it
@benroyce I'm so frustrated that Walz won't call JD on his assertions that Harris is the Executive. Simply, he could just say, "You know that Kamala isn't Joe Biden, right?"
@benroyce lying liars will just keep lying. 🤬
@benroyce I love that. But, probably too nuanced for suburban red hat voters.
