Names That Should Live in Infamy

The Republicans who joined Democrats in voting for the bill were Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Sens. Richard Burr of North Carolina, Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Susan Collins of Maine, John Cornyn of Texas, Joni Ernst of Iowa, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Rob Portman of Ohio, Mitt Romney of Utah, Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, Todd Young of Indiana, and Roy Blunt of Missouri. [More]

Of these, two [three] are retiring and the only one who needs to run for reelection now is Murkowski, who also voted to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial and to confirm Biden pick Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court.

We’ve talked about her before — plenty. I believe she will make a perfect object lesson to defeat, provided a sufficient number of gun owners want to actually do something about it instead of standing there and bleeding.

Meanwhile, well-heeled Stupid Party Vichycon luminaries think it’s a smart idea to rub the betrayal in our faces before the presumed “red wave.”

‘Staunch Supporters of the Second Amendment’

The U.S. Senate voted Tuesday to advance a new bipartisan gun control bill in a procedural move that saw 14 Republicans support firearm restrictions. [More]

What did anyone expect? Courage and principle from career poltroons?

I can’t wait to see the superlatives NRA will use when describing them in its next endorsement.

UPDATES

And So It Begins

Mehmet Oz, the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, is quietly shifting his campaign messaging away from former President Trump as he transitions into what’s likely to be one of the most hotly contested Senate elections of the midterms. [More]

I’m shocked…shocked!

Wait ’til ol’ Mehmet says he thinks the 2020 election was valid.

The Donald is so good at firing ’em because he’s so lousy at picking ’em in the first damn place.

‘Republicans,’ Pay Heed

John Cornyn, top Republican negotiator on gun package, booed at Texas GOP convention [More]

As I said:

Even if the angry feedback is scaring you into backing off, the trust has already been broken.  Way to take the fire out of bellies.

You hearing this Mitch? Lindsey?

You geniuses really want to break up the wave before it happens?

And tangentially-related:

Dan Crenshaw & Staff Assaulted by Right Wingers Shouting ‘Eyepatch McCain’ and Saying He Should be ‘Hung for Treason’ [More]

Well, he started it.

Too Little Too Late

Bipartisan Negotiation On Gun Control Bill Stalled [More]

Let’s hope “Are you nuts?” is making an impact.

Yeah, but you know what, guys? Even if the angry feedback is scaring you into backing off, the trust has already been broken.

Way to take the fire out of bellies.

UPDATE

‘I’m through talking’: top Republican negotiator walks out of Senate gun talks – John Cornyn says he is heading back to Texas, dimming hope of vote on bipartisan gun safety bill before July recess [More]

Yep. Somebody’s been hearing from p!$$ed off constituents and now wants to appear forceful and principled…

Gowdy’s Wrong Questions about the 2nd Amendment Preclude Getting Right Answers

Gowdy should know all that, but again, we’re dealing with someone who presents the illusion of being “conservative.” [More]

“If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don’t have to worry about the answers.”

Neocon-Approved ‘Gun Control’

Straw-buyer cases are almost never prosecuted unless they are part of a big organized-crime investigation. “Lie and try” cases — in which prohibited buyers attempt, often successfully, to beat the background-check system — are almost never prosecuted at all, which is why Hunter Biden is not in prison on federal gun charges. Possession cases are routinely dismissed without prosecution. [More]

So enforce existing Intolerable Acts?

I take it we can’t count on your support?

A ‘Bipartisan Deal’

Democrats and Republicans involved in the discussions said they have a deal in principle that includes providing financial incentives for states that adopt “red flag” laws, more money for school security, more investments in mental health and expanding the background check system to include youth felony records. [More]

Here’s more.

And the traitors giving the necessary votes are:

The E-Trade baby has the floor.

And this just in: The Lairds of Fairfax pulled up in the Weinermobile, rolled down the window, and boldly shared this firm-fixed principle:

“As is our policy, the NRA does not take positions on ‘frameworks’. We will make our position known when the full text of the bill is available for review,” the statement continued.

I’m sure this is the end of it and the grabbers will go away sated.

No?
