    It seems more like an argument to fully fund the FDA.

    Seriously — terrorists aren’t the only think that can kill you. E.coli, salmonella, norovirus, listeria are far more likely to kill you.

    There are about 5,000 deaths a year from bad food but the Republicans always want to end food safety laws and defund inspections.

    If I had a bowl of white Mentos mints, how many would kill me if they represent the school, theater, workplace, etc. mass shooters? Why can’t we have background checks? That’s our problem.

    If I had a bowl of tea bags how many would kill me if they represent right wing cop killers like Jared & Amanda Miller, Eric Frein, Jerry & Joe Kane, etc. That bowl doesn’t get screened. That’s our problem.

    Some are born great
    some achieve greatness,
    and some have greatness thrust upon them.
    and then there is the Trump clan who only think they are great

    Meanwhile, somewhere over the tasty rainbow…
    The Trump’s couldn’t afford hearts, brains, and the courage to be human.
