That village idiot Massie and several other Republicans of his ilk also have Christmas cards with “locked & loaded” families brandishing military ordnance to celebrate the birth of their Savior. 🙄
The Magi carried assault rifles. These idiot Evangelicals would probably believe that. Or that Jesus was a charter member of the NRA. " Guns don't kill people, CROSSES kill people " ! Lunacy.
I recently read a comment somewhere (how's that for precise) that the three Abrahamic religions each chose a symbol for their faith; a star, a crescent moon, and a Roman means of execution. That is fascinating to me.
A bit of a cynic might have written that...two of the symbols represent distance of God from humanity. If the Romans had owned assault weapons, think of what the symbol of God coming to Earth and dying for us would be...
Back to the caves! Or at least to Weimar. Too many poor, too little good public schooling, pandemic, too much greed, climate change, too little charity for all. Can we humans surmount this? It’s the existential question of our times.
The GOP won't be pleased until we start burning people at the stake, drowning people on suspicion of being witchcraft, performing exorcisms or trepanation to release evil spirits, etc. To say that they're anti - progress & paranoid as well as xenophobic is an understatement of EPIC PROPORTIONS.
Unless there's a photo of her granddaughter with a working guns, I wouldn't react to that much.
Supposing I told you I had an oven when I was three - but it was an EZ bake oven. Noem could be talking about the plastic accoutrements which went with her little cowgirl outfit.
It sounds like a way to bait the libs.
You know if you were an extremely stupid person who didn't mind using your little granddaughter as bait.
Bridget, I thought I saw a photo of the child with a rifle....but now I can’t find it. It’s pretty terrible to give anyone a gun, much less a two-year old. I think about the “gun activist” in Texas, I believe, who had a gun in her purse, was in the car driving with her two-year old, and yes, the two-year old fished the gun out of the purse and shot and killed her....it is so beyond sickening, I am not sure what to say about this idiot Governor. And yes, I DO want to take those guns....
When I was a kid, we played with toy guns, too. We chose otherwise for our kids. I'm not against responsible gun ownership, but there absolutely should be regulations. Guns are weapons that have the ability to kill. That alone should require regulations, in my opinion. In order to drive a car, one must be licensed, the vehicle registered AND insured. But guns? Licensed, but no database of who owns what, you know, like the DMV. It just seems so common sense. Nobody wants to take anyone's guns. We just want more responsibility to go along with gun ownership. Why is that considered so terrible?
I still can't figure out why I need a license to drive a car and people don't need licenses to own a more lethal weapon - a gun. I also need to buy an insurance policy in the event the vehicle I am responsible for hurts another. Go figure.
I don't think anyone I know was giving their kids toy guns either but I wouldn't bet they didn't get Star Wars blasters.
My grandfather had strong opinions on guns and he taught us it was a tool which was never to be pointed at someone else.
However, we also grew up inside a city where the worst thing disturbing the garden were rats.
People give their kids toy guns. As long as they're white, they're not likely to be shot by the cops for playing with them.
I'm not in favor of that but that I'm not in favor of Barbie either.
Noem like Boebert is an idiot incapable of doing anything except generating outrage. Like Boebert and that twit in Tennessee she is using a small child to inflame the libs.
Keeping idiot grandma from giving a two year old a toy gun doesn't stop mass shootings.
Keeping parents from giving access to loaded guns might.
Let's pat Noem on the head and keep our attention on serious people.
She is serious, Bridget. She helped prevent thousands of Native Americans from voting! I say go after her at the polls! The Vote is more powerful than the Gun!
Toy guns, that makes more sense. Giving a child a real gun would/should constitute child endangerment. I had a cap gun as a kid; westerns were all the rage.
Given this weekend's news, Gov. Noem's granddaughter has a good head start for self protection at her 'sweet 16th' birthday party. Hope her older brother is not a star football player. It is simply not to be believed that firearms of any sort--to include hunting rifles and birding shotguns--are an appropriate gift for any 2-year old. Nodding to the 2nd Amendment, a new teddy bear might find more use for her in the near term--at last until she is ready to join the well-trained militia that is the South Dakota National Guard.
UNBELIEVABLE anyone would see her as fit to take of a child and shocked (as I am repeatedly these days over one thing or another) she has any supporters.
Families of shooting victims should send Holiday cards to Republican leaders with morgue pictures of their shot up family member. HAPPY BLOODY HOLIDAY TO YOU AND YOURS!
Governor Noems statements about her two year old granddaughter having a rifle and a shotgun were chilling.
I see that & raise you Lauren Boebert's Christmas card with her entire family brandishing guns.....

I like this quite a lot but would amend it to:
Guns don't kill people, CRUCIFIXION does. Sounds a bit more morbid.

Originally it was a fish, as in Fisher of Men. I guess a crucifixion device had more Authority with the Roman Church and its Inquisitors,.
Yes that Is fascinating!

Continuing from the OT penchant for offering sacrifices to please a paternal figure, you are on target.
🤯
People used to call Jesus the "Prince of Peace". I guess that nickname has gone out of fashion.
GOP recommends buying guns not books. That says it all.

I didnt let my kids play with plastic, toy guns. I've also somehow managed to live for close to 65 years without ever owning a gun. Go figure.
I played with toy guns my entire childhood, but now, almost 71, I have never even touched a real one.
When I was a kid, we played with toy guns, too. We chose otherwise for our kids. I'm not against responsible gun ownership, but there absolutely should be regulations.

No, my kids did not get toy guns, either.
Now, I'm going to whisper something maybe I'm not supposed to say:
I WOULD take people's guns away.
Because most of the pro 2nd amendment know they couldn't meet the same qualifications a car driver does.
There was also a rumor in the 80s that the reason the NRA was so anti registration and registry was because the mob was one of their biggest donors.
I still can't figure out why I need a license to drive a car and people don't need licenses to own a more lethal weapon - a gun. I also need to buy an insurance policy in the event the vehicle I am responsible for hurts another. Go figure.

She is serious, Bridget. She helped prevent thousands of Native Americans from voting! I say go after her at the polls! The Vote is more powerful than the Gun!
The danger is in the damage she can do.
But if tomorrow, Native Americans got their rights back, she'd be trying to pander to them in the most cringe worthy way possible.
Stupid people do stupid things because they're looking for the immediate and not seeing the long term.
The fact that she would say that says so much, same with Boebert, get a clue people
Exactly what I was thinking, Jeri! Who in their right mind brags about their two-year-old granddaughter owning weapons—.of any kind?
Someone who adeptly signals to their base and gets their “enemy the libs” panties all in a twist. Mission Accomplished.
In that case, how mindless must her base be to endorse such grand-madness!
"You know if you were an extremely stupid person who didn't mind using your little granddaughter as bait."
Excceedingly well put.
Toy guns, that makes more sense. Giving a child a real gun would/should constitute child endangerment. I had a cap gun as a kid; westerns were all the rage.
Okay, I've now seen the photos from the NRA convention.
I stand corrected. She honestly could be dumb enough to let a two year old handle a weapon before the child could work a toilet.
The entire Right worships Moloch.

The "Like" button isn't appropriate, but I do agree with you whole-heartedly.
How any grandparent could brag about their precious grandchild’s supposed gun ownership is beyond me. It’s disgusting.
It's like a bad and tasteless joke.
And the joke is on the dead…but they aren’t laughing
Insanity is the rule in repub land…
Yes. Complete insanity.
UNBELIEVABLE anyone would see her as fit to take of a child and shocked (as I am repeatedly these days over one thing or another) she has any supporters.
I recall when "Barbie" dolls were considered too sophisticated for children because of her nipple-less breasts.
One wonders if her granddaughter is allowed to play with these guns.
What a world.

Judy: BILLBOARDS! This is a brilliant suggestion.
How about all the GQP wearing assault rifle lapel pins.
This is exactly the statement that jumped out at me. I pray Noem is lying to us with this statement.
