Democrats Love Saying That AR-15s Should Only Be Used On Foreigners by Caitlin Johnstone published on 2022-07-06T02:08:58Z Every time there's a mass shooting in America with an AR-15, high-level Democrats line up to proclaim that those weapons should only ever be used to kill impoverished foreigners. The latest example of this ongoing phenomenon was Illinois Senator and Iraq war veteran Tammy Duckworth telling the press that a recording from the Highland Park shooting which killed seven people and wounded dozens more reminded her of her combat experience during that horrific invasion, saying the US needs to do better within its own borders. "I just listened to the sound of that gunfire from one of the videos that was captured," Duckworth said. "And let me tell you that the last time I heard a weapon with that capacity firing that rapidly on a Fourth of July was Iraq, it was not the United States of America. We can and we should and we will do better." Reading by Tim Foley.

I remember when George Bush engaged in war there was a sizeable amount of Democrats who were against the wars. Or was it that they were only against George Bush? Hard to tell these days with their full-throated calls to arm Ukraine in the US's failing attempt to shore up its crumbling global economic hegemony. But those Bush antiwar peaceniks easily now call for a proxy war in Ukraine, ignore what US Democratic-run administrations are doing and have done in Yemen, Syria, Libya, Syria, and the horn of Africa, or its edging to a war with nuclear China over Taiwan (which on record it accepts as part of China). And we cannot forget the anger when Trump would not bomb Syria, they saw it as a result of his allegiance to Putin in their swallowing whole hog the false Russia-gate narratives. Let's hope the complete ineffectual Biden Administrations failures open their eyes. 2022-07-06T12:33:14Z Comment by Coleen Rowley And the funny part is that these warhawk democrats don't even understand that the escalating domestic mass shootings are due to their militarization of the culture that sustains their war profiting that targets foreigners. Violence begets violence. 2022-07-06T05:11:48Z
