The Side Eye: Presidential Candidate Jeb Bush on Gun Violence “Stuff Happens” You’d think a presidential candidate would be a little more careful with his words, but not Republican candidate Jeb Bush. As he spoke on the deadly shooting in Oregon that killed 9 people and wounding 7 others, he described the tragic incident as “heartbreaking”. Just there after though, he made a jaw dropping comment, minimizing gun violence to “stuff happens…” He adds, “theres always a crisis and the impulse is always to do something and it’s not always the right thing to do” — in regards resorting to more strict gun laws. Considering gun violence is a common occurrence you’d think he’d find it a topic of importance but apparently not. Will you be voting for Mr. Bush?? Watch the clip from CNN and decide for yourself.

So long sour Speaker… John Boehner Resigning From Congress Perpetual sourpuss and Speaker of the House John Boehner has announced his decision to resign from Congress. After meeting with Pope Francis who is addressing congress today, Boehner told the Republican party that his last day would be in October. The New York Times reports: Speaker John A. Boehner, under intense pressure from conservatives in his party, will resign one of the most powerful positions in government and give up his House seat at the end of October, throwing Congress into chaos as it tries to avert a government shutdown. Mr. Boehner, who was first elected to Congress in 1990, made the announcement in an emotional meeting with his fellow Republicans on Friday morning. The Ohio representative struggled from almost the moment he took the speaker’s gavel in 2011 to manage the challenges of divided government and to hold together his fractious and increasingly conservative Republican members. Most recently, Mr. Boehner, 65, was trying to craft a solution to keep the government open through the rest of the year, but was under pressure from a growing base of conservatives who told him that they would not vote for a bill that did not defund Planned Parenthood. Several of those members were on a path to remove Mr. Boehner as speaker, though their ability to do so was far from certain. What do YOU think about Boehner resigning???
