We cats are getting to the point where we think the First Amendment ought to be suspended after an NRA rampage. (Yep, we blame the NRA for last night's mass killing in Las Vegas.) Well, okay, not the entire First Amendment. Just stuff like this:
"Thoughts and prayers" — We are sick, sick, SICK of this phrase. We are sending no thoughts and no prayers. And by the way, no money. We'll send thoughts, prayers and money after Congress enacts sensible gun-control legislation.
"This is not the time to politicize [blank]" — Republicans can go shove this statement up their asses. Not just at all times, but especially after mass shootings.
"Pure evil" — There have been so many killings, and "evil" has been used so much, that it's lost its meaning. Find a different word.
"Warmest condolences" — Whaaa? This Trumpy tweet struck us as mighty odd, and Adam Gopnik at The New Yorker agreed. Somebody needs to put Obama's post-Pulse statement opposite Trump's this morning and analyze them for syntax, reading level, vocabulary, etc.
"Gun show" — Not just the phrase. The shows themselves. Meanwhile, we cats are hacking up multiple hairballs, and we HISS.
