I am livid about the fact that half a million Colorado children are staying home from school today because of the threat of gun violence. How did we get to this point that we have allowed the right to bear arms to supercede the right for children to have a safe place for education?

I think about this tweet a lot.
"In retrospect Sandy Hook marked the end of the US gun control debate. Once America decided killing children was bearable, it was over."

Hearing about Sandy Hook on the radio while driving DS to school will be stuck in my mind forever. I'm trying to get involved in MDA here, especially since OH is trying to loosen gun laws 😡

Ok speaking of Michelle, have we talked about this yet (I haven't RTMFT sorry): “We come from a broken family, we are a little unsettled,” Obama said, according to The Independent. “Sometimes you spend the weekend with divorced dad. That feels like fun but then you get sick. That is what America is going through. We are living with divorced dad.” Listen, I love Michelle. I loved "Becoming". I think she is awesome. But this is straight up backward and rude as hell. The "divorced dad doesn't know how to properly parent his children" trope is so tired and old and I am SO disappointed in her for this comment. I saw that earlier and was shocked. This is a rare bad statement from her but a really upsetting one. Very tone deaf. Ok but you know what is MORE upsetting? Tucker Carlson is offended by this statement which actually puts us on the same side and I HATE IT.
Obviously his offense is completely manufactured bullshit but still, I feel dirty.

I know exactly what you mean. I looked it up on twitter last night to see if anyone was talking about it and it was all the crazy “Michelle is a man” people and I felt so gross.

I understand where she was going with this. As a parent of a child who has a good dad but is still mostly 'weekend fun do all the spendy things never says no' dad, I get what she was reaching for. Her words could have been better but FROM MY POV its more meh to me.

So her analogy actually spoke to my life a bit in that, as a child of divorced parents, I definitely had a strong preference to my mom’s house. Especially if I needed comfort. BUT it felt so tone deaf knowing she grew up in a two parent, married household and she is living in one now. And I bristle for any stigma or stereotypes about divorced parents because I grew up in the 80s and felt embarrassed a lot of my family type. Anyways, of course, this is no where near ::waves around:: the dumpster fire that is every day. But I was still surprised. It’s unlike her.

I totally agree with you jkjacq in giving her a pass for saying a thoughtless thing, I'm not *mad* at her about it. But like jaygee I think what got me most is that it's so unlike her. I'm not mad, just disappointed. LOL

So there is reporting that people who work in the WH and that cooperated with SpecCon are scared of exposure, 45 will be mad at them, etc.
WELL MAYBE YOU SHOULD NOT WORK FOR SUCH A SHITSHOW OF AN ADMINISTRATION.
You made your bed, lie in it. Do not expect me to feel sorry for anyone who works for this asshole and has to maybe have some consequences.

Trump is first president in polling era to not have support of majority of Americans, even for one day: Presidential approval ratings tend to peak during times of crisis or tragedy when the president is perceived as being a calming, healing, and/or uniting presence. That's not how Dump rolls, literally ever. He makes every single situation worse, in spectacular fashion. (I know you know this. I'm talking to the balcony crowd)

I especially like the ones who are mad that Ty Cobb encouraged full cooperation with an actual FBI investigation bc President Dollhands might get mad at them. WAT.

It will be at 9:30 a.m. Unclear if that timing is before or after report's release. Why is Rod still hanging on when he allegedly was supposed to be gone a month ago? Now the investigation is complete and they can't 'fire' Mueller, there doesnt seem to be a reason, unless he's making sure the report doesnt disappear with a well placed virus sent from MAL brought by a spy.
sorry the tinfoil is a little tight.
