That is all Republican'ts say after a natural disaster or a gun massacre. If they are confronted to take legislative action such as an assault weapons ban they insist that the period of grief for the victims is just not the right time. There never is the right time for them to act. Invariably, no action is taken and the American people quickly forget the horror and return to their normal state of mass amnesia. And misguided voters keep reelecting those useless politicians.

As for that weasel Mike Johnson I hope one day he regrets his man crush for Donald and he will be held accountable for selling his soul to evil incarnate. The evangelicals who believe Donald was divinely selected by their god to save the world proves exactly how demented and craven they truly are. Taxpayers pay for legislators to find ways to improve the lives of all Americans. We do not pay them to spend their time praying in the US Capitol.
