Capitol Hill Shooting Magnified By "Shutdown" Drama

As expected CNN is making this Capitol Hill incident into a REALLY BIG DEAL. 

They're interviewing DC staffers and congressmen who look hella shook over hearing gun shots. That tubby little clown Blake Farenthold (R, Texas) looked like he was going to shit his pants. Maybe he thought someone was mad at him and Ted Cruz (wonder why?) or maybe he just momentarily realized shit could get real. 

This shooting though sounds like basically a lady went crazy and the police shot her and her car. Luckily the child inside is okay. Maybe this had something to do with the shutdown, maybe not? There's probably been 10 shootings across the country since this story broke but "the networks" will be stuck on this one until some other relevant TV drama happens.


I bet "the networks" would secretly love some good old fashioned Republican vs Democrat violence to go down in DC right about now. I wonder if the GOP in DC are prepared for bringing about such violence? I does not look like they are ready for it judging from shitpants Representative Farenthold's interview. They talk a tough game but it's all about their bullshit spinster political reality of tug of war. They don't really realize they are playing with people's lives. It's just a game to them. On camera Mitch McConnell and Paul Rand pretend as if they are really in this for the greater good of the nation but off camera they whisper to each other like petty little girls ganging up on the new girl in school because "how dare she."


Meanwhile, the Tea Partiers that now seem to be dictating the wayward Republican agenda happily push things toward an explosive confrontation with the debt ceiling looming amidst the shutdown. You literally have misguided, misinformed, and moreover nut-jobs, from all over the place ready to hop in semi-trucks and pop-off shots at the White House because they think "Socialism" is taking over... yet none of them could actually define socialism and apply it accurately to our current reality which is conversely hyper capitalistic.


Seeing these people on CNN freak out just now over a few gun shots on Capitol Hill really shows me that these people are very out of touch with reality. The Republicans in DC are truly playing with fire like a punk kid that doesn't know what to do once he "accidentally" sets the entire hill behind his house on fire. 


America is totally unstable right now. People are getting shot every day in poor neighborhoods like its no thing. People are going crazy cuz they don't have proper mental health care. Since 2007 people have been losing homes, jobs, and their minds. And you have politicians and media busy ramping things up with phony "buzz words" adding legitimacy to illegitimate movements and illegitimate solutions. Instead of asking tough questions and working to fix this broken ass nation.


I have friends reaching out to me telling me that they are Conservative but they do not support what the GOP is doing. I have independent folks reaching out and talking about the fact that they can't stand to see our country being divided like this as if we are reverting backward to the days of the confederacy and civil war.


Personally, it's been hard for me to support Barack Obama when he continually sides with Wall Street, Big Business, and Insurance companies, and pushes hawkish foreign policy like the reincarnation of Ronald Reagan. But when I see these Tea Party phonies being controlled by greedy billionaires playing puppeteer and stoking the fires to divide the nation along racial lines and radical political ideology in attempts to either crash the economy and/or the Government for their own reckless gains its hard not to choose a side, even if it is once again the lesser of the two evils.


Maybe we should just not give a shit and let them destroy everything so we can rebuild? But I don't really think that sounds like a great plan at this point.


Ultimately, we all deserve better than this. We deserve much more than the Tea Party and these crooked toothed GOP electeds. But we also deserve more than what the Democrats have been able to give us which is promises of major change but ultimately they cannot deliver and are aligned with many of the same corporate interests as the other side. At the end of the day we are only able to discern one party from the other because the Republicans have been pushed so far right that the right is now the center, and the left mostly only exists if you now consider the radical Tea Party to be a normal example of conservative. It's totally ridiculous and not representative of our nation.


Unless we as a people realize that the phony "right vs left" drama is just divisive bullshit, and that they want us to fall for it so they can better manipulate our minds and our votes... Until we wake up and realize that big business is controlling both parties and that big business does not care about the middle class, or small business, or the poor, or children, or elderly, or schools, or police, or fire, or soldiers, or parks, or beaches, or music, or the future, or America... our nation will continue to spiral downward.
