Both Nugent and the shooter victim's families are props being used to appeal to certain demographics but I don't think they're equivalently appropriate or significant.

The recent flood of high-profile gun violence has a chance to shape the future of gun control laws in the US and even initiate an altering of the official interpretation of the 2nd amendment. Inviting the "victims" is, while an obvious ploy, not an entirely stupid idea and pretty appropriate.

Trotting out Ted Nugent, who is exactly the type of voice the conservative movement is claiming to want to silence, is just poor judgement. What little attention he brings will be nothing but negative.

I just don't put Nugent and the victims families on the same level as props. It's not that I necessarily disagree with what you're saying, that's just my take on it, and it's definitely not a big deal.

I guess he should replaced Red Bull with bottles of red wine
i have some high blood pressure, so i gave up beer and all that and red bull and any cafine and switched the drinking to the red wine.

bitch ass doctor tried to tell me to stop drinking outright, i was like smb homegirl, not happening. just because you stick your finger up my arse doesn't mean you're the boss of me!

Definitely loled at that.

I don't drink alcohol but I love coffee and a family friend who's a doctor tried to tell to drop it and drink tea instead since I get heart palpitations when I use albutreol. I was like "No way. Why live if I can't wake up to a nice cup of coffee?"

i went through that too, i switched to tea and it sucks, i prefer coffee, but green tea is actually pretty good, it's a different kind of caffine and you feel pretty good on it.

i've had high blood pressure for a long long time, since i was really young.

i decided to do something about it, and started drinking the wine and just liked it, it's pretty good. i won't drink it at the bar, because i'm not a ghey, but at home that's how i roll.

not to sound like your mom, but you know that after ~1.5 glasses the negatives of the alcohol outweigh the positives of resveratrol, right?

i had a friend who - i kid you not - thought that if 1 glass of wine every night was good for his heart, then 1 bottle of jaeger must be REALLY good for his heart lol
