Republican Senators are Blocking Al Franken’s Bill To Improve Mental Health Services

Come on, we ALL know that if the mentally ill were helped the GOP could lose two thirds of their base.

You're confusing mentally ill with mentally retarded. The democrats are mentally ill because they continue to repeat the same failed methods for decades, always expecting different outcomes. That's the definition of insanity.
The GOP are so slow, OTOH, that they have been lapped by proto-progressives and are in the correct position on most social issues as a result. By standing still they've wound up in the best place.

Mark this well, gun clutching mutants. If it is, as you say, that we need "access to mental health services" then it is the GOP that is denying those services. And the denial of those services is, in your parlance, getting people killed. We can lay that at the feet of Republican legislators


Two right-wing Senators are blocking a bipartisan mental health bill that would provide 40 million dollars to extend funding for mental health courts for five years, establish more crisis intervention teams to cooperate with law enforcement officers, and provide more extensive mental health screening for veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress. The Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Act, co-sponsored by Senator Al Franken (D-MN) and Representative Rich Nugent (R-FL), enjoys broad bi-partisan support.

Better mental health is not in the best interest of Republicans.

If we cure STUPID, we won't have any Liberals left. Think about it.

If true, I'm not in the least bit surprised.
