Are you referring to the party led by a mental health candidate?
Every single student in the United States should have to go through two psych exams a year
Yes it would mean we would have to over clock our mental health services and that’s a good thing
Trusting a politician is like trusting a snake. You’ll need to stop listening to the news and frankly the politicians because the majority of your fellow Americans agree to fund and have excellent mental health coverage. Also making the schools like a fort wouldn’t hurt. Your argument about taking guns away is really lazy, evil will always find away…. In the history of the works massive wars and conflicts occurred without guns. It’s an evil problem not a gun problem.
Party of pro life also do not care if children outside the womb get turned into swiss cheese if it means they can continue to over compensate for their 2" with guns 💀
It is a mental health problem. Guns dont kill people. People kill people.
If only bills were simple and didn’t contain hundreds of pages of nonsense ear marks, pet projects, and other bs more would get done.
Maybe stop telling your kids they can be gender fluid and confusing them. You guys are so busy sexualizing children you can’t see that YOU are the problem. It’s the parents, not the guns.
Ever hear the line: yall need Jesus?
A countries ideology is what governs the peoples mental health. For thousands of years we have used religion for this. Now it's wokeism. And we wonder why people's mental health is so bad. We are letting the mental patients run the asylum.
RED OR BLUE DONT GIVE NOT 1 F ABOUT YOU
Incorrect
Just a friendly reminder that the party who says you ain't black if you don't vote for me is the same party who does nothing for the black people and voted against there ability to have rights.
Friendly reminder…democrat runbshyt hoke NY closed most of the mental health facilities and tried to close the only adolescent one for 5 counties.
Yep! Civilians don’t need automatic weapons, boys need mental health care.
If you think a politician wants to fix problems and everyday people's lives you're the one with the f**** problem politicians are there to line their pockets on me and their buddies pockets they don't give two f** about the regular American Joe
This is so true!
The problem is improper gun management 9 times out of 10. And if a 15 year old has mental health issues, it is more than likely the parents not giving rhe correct attention to the kid. That is what starts and causes several mental issues.
Just saying that after every attempted assassination of a former president, the gun grabbers call it a mental health issue NOT a gun problem…
See we can both be propagandists for a political party.
We’d look pretty stupid if that’s what we did right? Played off the tragedy of others would make us POS’s! Just saying!
It's called the constitution
They benefit from us being armed and afraid. It is a way to control us and distract us from the reality that we are not being given basic freedoms to quality of life, true liberty nor the pursuit of happiness.
And when they say that they should shut their eyes and know they pulled at trigger
No, they don’t care.
We take care of our own families, and we don't want more government in our lives. When has giving our government more money for anything made our lives better.
I'm Canadian and I don't know what the number one cause of death is for kids in Canada is, but I can assure you it's not gun violence.
Yep. Either admit that it's a gun problem or put your money where your mouth is and support better mental healthcare social safety net programs.
What else was in the bill they were voting for?
Just a friendly reminder that we all know politicians are idiots and that's why our forefathers gave us the second amendment.
Democrats always blame the gun not the person. But why not:
Blame the car for driving drunk.
The knife for stabbing.
The spoon for obesity.
The brick for smashing windows.
The ocean for drowning.
All while ignoring mental health. The plans are rejected by the GOP because of everything else Dems try to sneak in with the bill.
IF Dema presented a true health bill, only about health, with no attachments for other pet projects like green energy, them it would pass.
You are being lied to.
If you read the bill she’s using you can see there are some great resources but it’s not perfect. They focus on low income and minority when it should be all kids of school age. They also list in the bill a penalty for business owners when the insurance they offer doesn’t cover mental health to their liking. Republicans pushed a bill that would make it illegal for new bills to be packed with things other than the intended solution. Democrats voted against it. Both are at fault but I support the one topic bill 100%.
But Democrats said Obamacare was the "fix" to healthcare by putting it in federal control and taking it away from state control when it in fact made healthcare worse and more expensive. If you make federal laws putting mental healthcare into federal control it will be the same.
it is a gun problem
She looks crazy herself.
gaslighting, the right always asks for a clean bill and the left is deaf to that request, so if the left was serious they would produce a clean bill
@mideastouch
Most of that $ for so called mental health care was going to democrat pet projects. So stop the lies leftist.
Prolly cause that's voting on mental care to affirm transgender nonsense. A kids mental health starts with parents. No child should need a therapist if they come from even a remotely normal home. They need mom and dad as counselors. Social media, lack of security, and parents are to blame.
And people still vote for them. Heckuva game plan, lying to low information people.
Republicans don't care about anyone but themselves.
How about… it's too soon. We must think and pray. Then blame video games or mental health.
Well how much money do you give other people to get mental health? My guess is zero.
