Ask a school-age child in your life about active shooter drills. Ask what they do, and how it makes them feel.
I promise you have no idea.
And if you somehow see this, tell me how knowing a child in your life is going through that in school makes YOU feel.

The one thing I'll say is that the Trump post on the Reiners is even more deranged and cut off from all reality when you remember that Michele shot the cover photo for Art of the Deal. Trump usually never passes up a chance to point out stuff like that. He's lost all grip on reality.

Every morning the news is like a war, hearing about the latest attacks on America and how some of them are thwarted but new ones pop up all the time.
Except the attacker is the president and a bunch of Americans wanted this.

My usual line, when asked why I don't drink, is "I have enough expensive hobbies already".
Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

States need to prosecute the people carrying out Trump's orders whenever possible.
He may be "immune", but his flunkies aren't, and the more they face consequences, the less they'll go along with the Madness of King Donnie.

Or as I would put it: the rich guy didn't get rich by saying "no thanks" to people who offer him money.
“You will hear everlastingly, in all discussions about newspapers, companies, aristocracies, or party politics, this argument that the rich man cannot be bribed. The fact is, of course, that the rich man is bribed; he has been bribed already. That is why he is a rich man…”

Hundreds of thousands of people, dead because of a decision made by the world's richest man
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Eight months ago, Rep. Sylvester Turner D-TX died. His seat in the U.S. House is still vacant. On Tuesday, two Dems advanced to a runoff for that Houston-area seat. When is the runoff?? We don't know.
That runoff date still must be set by Gov. Greg Abbott.

Why would he WANT a third term? Yeah, he wants to avoid prison, but why would anyone ELSE want to help him do that?
I don't think the Rs think they can win another presidential election. They have no one but the pumpkin, with a barge of goblins and ghouls behind him, wanting to stay in the dark.

Well, no one is stopping him, so there'll be a ballroom. And it will be a gaudy gold-hued eyesore, just like his old apartment, because that's what his sad lizard brain thinks is "wealth" and "success".

Would you be surprised if the reason he's blowing up boats from Venezuela is that the Peace Prize winner is from there?
I have no doubt he'd be that petty.

In a way I'm glad Hegseth and pumpkin man did that stupid speech. It allowed the top brass to see the crazy, inept weirdos they are, completely unfiltered and unedited. Now they can have that picture in their minds when the BS orders start coming in.

Also, when people repeat the same dumb action, I think BZZT "ow!" BZZT "ow!" from Bart repeatedly grabbing the electrified cupcake (Lisa's 'is a hamster smarter than my brother' science fair project).

So let's say I wanted to give Gomer a bunch of money. Doing so would have tax implications and might be unlawful.
If, however, Gomer filed a sham lawsuit, and we "settled" for that sum, I could make my donation openly and without serious consequences.

The really sad part is, he probably asked for quality stuff, but his people know that he can't tell the difference. So they put gold spray paint on some Home Depot crap and pocketed the rest, and Sundown Grandpa is none the wiser.
Trump: “Some of the highest quality 24 Karat Gold used in the Oval Office and Cabinet Room of the White House. Foreign Leaders, and everyone else, “freak out” when they see the quality and beauty. Best Oval Office ever, in terms of success and look!!! President DJT”
