I suppose the grocer's apostrophe adds to the humor.

She's a singer. You don't sing apostrophes. It does appear in a Zappa song. (at 4:20)

Fox News exit polls accidentally show Americans are liberal — They support abortion, gun control, government healthcare, and a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants.

The comments are ....enlightening

It's heartwarming to see the younger Republican legislators stepping up to carry on the legacy of shitheels like Mitch McConnell as they slowly fade from the scene. Senator JD Vance, hoping to be Trump's pick for vice president, burnishes his image:

Expressing his opposition to a proposed bump stocks ban being considered in the U.S. Senate, Vance told reporters, "I think that we have to ask ourselves: What is the real gun violence problem in this country, and are we legislating in a way that solves fake problems? Or solves real problems? And my very strong suspicion is that the (Majority Leader Chuck) Schumer legislation is aimed at a PR problem, not something that's going to meaningfully reduce gun violence in this country.”

I mean, if we're going to get all hysterical and consider 60 killed and over 400 injured in a single incident to be a real problem, where does it end? The gun-grabbers have to be stopped before the 2nd Amendment is completely gutted!

Then again he's right, the legislation is performative, and isn't something that's going to meaningfully reduce gun violence in the US.

I disagree. To the extent that it would continue to keep bump stocks out of the hands of potential mass murderers like the loon who shot up the Las Vegas music festival, it is significant. Agreed that it wouldn't change the rate of killings via handguns and semi-automatic rifles, but Vance would oppose any moves in that direction as well.

I guess I'd grant that considering the high number of injured and dead in Las Vegas, but at the same time it's only addressing a specific mechanical means in mass shootings rather than meaningfully addressing the issue as a whole - which is that it's trivially easy to act on that particular kind of impulse in the US.
