I’ve done 75 of today’s 100 and feeling pretty good about getting the rest in a little later. By the end of today I’ll have banked 213 push-ups with only 1787 left to go before the end of the month. Feeling good so far but there’s still plenty time for me to crash hard and fail spectacularly.

If Democrats haven't announced their proposal for the Donald Trump No Guns in Public bill by the end of the day, they're missing an easy shot
Trump: "With that being said, you can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns. You just can't. You can't walk in with guns. You can't do that. But it's just a very unfortunate incident."

How bad do things have to get before congress and senate grow a spine and a conscience and bring this thug rule to an end? This must surely be far enough right? No? What will be the line? Martial law? Suspension of elections? Someday I hope to see everyone involved held accountable.
