Ugh. RE: the parade. I have students who wrote articles about the parade this week. They were all this is a horrible waste of resources, etc... but it will be pretty badass! And then my head exploded. Do I even want to know how they think it’ll be badass? I mean, I’m willing to bet that I could go to a museum and see the same period uniforms, weaponry, etc that will be worn in the parade. For the, I could go down to Pensacola and watch the Blue Angels train. Or you know, show up at the Air and Water Show.

Keep in mind I also had students talk THIS WEEK about how "Hillary stole 5 states, but you can't stop the Trump train." And applaud Andrew Jackson defying John Marshall. So. But there was no explanation given for the badass.

But there was no explanation given for the badass. What exactly do you teach?? I teach history. None of this was during class. (Except the parade thing. That was written in an assignment on current events where they're supposed to give their opinion.) I think half of what this lovely group of kids say is to see how long it takes them to get the "libtard" teacher who pretends to be neutral to lose her cool.

Putin is so fucking awful. He also knows exactly what buttons to push. I get so mad and scared when I think about the rise in overt antisemitism over the past decade.

A friend whose family emigrated here about 20 years ago (before Putin, so I'm not just blaming him) as a child had official Russian documents labeling them as Jews. She saw herself branded as a cultural/ethnic Jew even if not a religious one. Like you, I'm concerned about the increasing visibility and unapologetic attitude of antisemitism. It was unsettling to hear her story that that kind of labelling of Russian citizens was happening in the 90s. Edit: maths

Sorry that I comment on all the Jewish stuff. I have a lot of opinions on everything, but I am just trying to stay in my lane, and I guess this is the most appropriate lane for me. That and my low-key Jacindamania.

I haven’t been over here in months but the fucking NRA suing the state of FL did me in. WHAT THE EVERLOVING HELL??? I......I didn’t think it was possible to loathe them any more than I already did. It's made even better when you recall the Dana Loesch quote that gun issues should be handled at the state level, and then see that they're suing FL and pushing national CCR

So far he's gone after Bush II and Reagan which is an interesting strategy when trying to get out the Republican vote.

I give up. My funny Magic 8 ball gif won’t work. I can’t believe they’ve survived this long being this incompetent.

In more amusing news out of the rally, Private Bone Spurs is also claiming he made the Olympics successful.

This is particularly nauseating. Picking up policy from Duterte. This is so horrible. These policies are relatively common in the area of the world where I live (Southeast Asia). They aren't effective at reducing drug use/distribution, they often can be used as tools to kill innocent people who have pissed off someone in the government/law enforcement, and these policies also don't do much to curb drug-related crime/violence. It's a really stupid idea and only attractive for those with authoritarian tendencies. So of course he likes it.

And to be fair, it's a small group of obnoxious kids that makes all the jaw dropping comments I bring here. The town did vote for Trump tho.

Omg. Trump’s team is in talks to bring an impeachment lawyer on to their team to deal with the Mueller probe.
Someone is scared and it makes me soooo happy.
