I know this belongs in The election Thread but I’m putting it here to start this week on the good vibes it needs.

He was running away from them so they....shot him? An unarmed child. What ON EARTH about that justifies use of any kind of weapon. I'm absolutely disgusted.

Here is the other thing. Cops should not fire on people running away- regardless of age, weapon status, etc. They are running away.
Even if say the person running away is endangering lives, the police shooting at them usually is endangering lives too. This isn't fucking Die Hard.

I yelled about this watching Jack Ryan the other night. Jack got yelled at for not shooting at a suspect in a crowd by his boss, and I'm screaming at the screen about how there were other people around who could get shot, too. That's just common sense!

Eta I just listened to the one on Thomas Jefferson and it's fiiiiiiiiire. I’ve been listening to it and enjoy it, but hate that it makes all presidents shitheads. Current POTUS is still the worst, but it kind of makes him seem a little less incompetent to know there were so many presidents that didn’t GAF or were dirty too.

Also, did y'all see Sarah Sanders on The View today, saying that she watched 45 force everyone to get off the plane to go see some troops because he respects them so much and "he wasn't leaving before he gave them his respects", and he touched the face of a soldier who lost both of his arms because "he just wanted the human touch". Oh, and he's done more than any other president to help BIPOC.
Even Meghan "MY DAD IS JOHN MCCAIN!!1!!!!1" McCain was like, "bullllshiittttttt".

Being used for a photo op like that. And Don't touch people's faces! There's a pandemic going on!

That's just common sense! The Salt Lake police also shot and killed a man running from them around Memorial Day. They obviously need some reform and training.

I 10000% don't believe that story to be even remotely true. 45 is rumored to be a huge germaphobe (and homophobe.. xenophobe.. lots of the 'phobes). He would not be touching a random dude's face. A white female teen socialite in a beauty pageant, sure. The only way he touched a soldier's face is if there was a fly buzzing around 45's own head and he accidentally smacked the soldier trying to get rid of it.

I feel like it is known that they can't let him see people with missing limbs because it freaks him out. Such an asshole.

I'd guess that if there was, they'd be waving it in people's faces right now about what a soldier loving president he is. 45 is polling badly with the military.

It's so quiet here today! Are people off for the week or just dealing with back to school? We got a puppy last week so I've been on high alert puppy duty and feel like I stepped out of the news cycle. It was kind of nice but I'm glad for some time to catch up on what's been going on.

Snopes is on it. www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-touch-face-of-veteran/He DID touch a man's face (consider me shocked) but the man is not a veteran - he was born without arms. And then 45 signed one of his prosthetics because of course he did. But because he doesn't have arms, cue the GOP to assume that he was a veteran.

But quoting myself again - doesn't explain Sarah the Liar Sanders saying that it happened to a veteran. But Sarah prides herself on spinning mistruths, so I in general assume every word out of her mouth comes directly from her ass.

I don’t really know if this goes here, but Lord help me I need to put it somewhere. Today we started virtual learning, which was optional. Most people are F2F here. I pulled in to the school to pick up a Chromebook for my KINDERGARTENER and I just totally lost it. Seeing kids on the playground but mine aren’t there because we couldn’t take the risk of in person. Seeing all of the signage and sanitizers and smelling the cleaning products. Signs on the doors that no visitors are allowed. Seeing all the familiar faces that my kids won’t be seeing this year as they are stuck home with a computer and they’re 5 & 7!!
I just couldn’t keep it together. I ugly cried/played Disney songs really loud to distract my children. This was so avoidable and I am holding Trump and his voters personally responsible for this alternate universe we are living in. I’m so upset for my kids to be missing out, for the friends they aren’t making, that the teachers won’t get to have their sweet personalities in their classrooms. This is all so gross.
Anyone else get gobsmacked by some feelings lurking in the background this week?

punker1212, we didn't have the option for my 2nd grader, but I was having a lot of feels as I was driving by all of the private schools that were open for in person learning this morning as I took my preschooler to school for the first time in 6 months. It was definitely hard. But I imagine even more so for you when some kids are back. Hugs <3 this shit is so hard.

We got a puppy last week so I've been on high alert puppy duty and feel like I stepped out of the news cycle. It was kind of nice but I'm glad for some time to catch up on what's been going on. Work and remote schooling are the culprit here. Hope you are enjoying your puppy!
