RINO is the term for that rare Republican who puts country above party.
Right wing = lie, lie, and lie some more.
"When I am president I'm going to be working for you. I'm not going to have time to play golf" Donald J. Trump, world class snake oil salesman and compulsive golfer August 2016
The definition of "racist" as "anyone who is white" is itself racist.

A heart CAN pump without a brain. It does not require signals from the brain to pump. However, without a brain, there is no breathing. The heart muscle dies as a result of no oxygen. It pumps useless blood until it dies.
In the womb, of course, the umbilical cord takes place of oxygenating the blood. Therefore, no brain is necessary to pump that blood through the developing body. As long as the mother is breathing, the fetus gets oxygenated blood and no brain is required because breathing is not necessary.
Heart muscle cells will naturally start twitching at regular intervals. If one touches another heart muscle cell, they will synchronize and twitch together. As the heart develops, a few cells take the role of pacemaker and produce the master twitch on their own. This is all you need to make a heart beat. As long as the muscle cells receive oxygen and nourishment, they will continue to beat completely on their own without any brain.
A brain can adjust heartbeat rate, but it is not necessary to make a heart beat.

No, life is living cells. No brain, no heart, no organs of any kind are necessary. Life is living cells.
The first living cell with the number of chromosomes and DNA necessary to grow into a human being occurs at conception.
Doctors do not consider a person dead when brain activity stop functioning. There are still many living cells in the body that will go on living for some time. They will eventually die of course without oxygen from breathing (which requires the brain), but they DO survive past the brain itself. Doctors consider loss of the brain a committed path leading to death, not death itself. They stop treatment at that point brain activity is lost because there is nothing more they can do. The result is inevitable.
The U.S. government does not have authority to ban either bumpstocks or automatic weapons.
Most mass shooters use pistols or shotguns. An automatic weapon is not the same as a semiautomatic weapon. You obviously have never learned anything about guns. Who are you to decide what is allowed or not? Who are you to decide what gun is appropriate to own or not? You are not the king.
