President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Those kids became Baby Boomers.

The Hogg kid lost me when he defended the SRO who did nothing while the shooter was killing his classmates. That statement was indeed “stupid,” and illustrated his motives were less than altruistic.

Then the suggestion to boycott Florida for Spring Break. Typical liberal punishment that would only hurt a lot of good people.

 

I care more about what a Parkland student has to say about assault rifles than I do about your opinion of them, but I’ll still come to SJ a few times a day even though I may have your opinion of their opinions inflicted upon me. Such is modern life.

 

They may not have . . . yet. It's just a risk that's out there, depending on how long they remain in the public eye. As I said, we love to put people on pedestals, only to knock them off.

During Hurricane Andrew in 1992, there was a beloved meteorologist (Bryan Norcross) in South Florida who was praised for helping guide everyone through the storm. Weeks later, during all the cleanup, he was still on the teevee far more than your average weather guy. And calls of, "When will this guy just go away?" were reverberating. It's the natural order of things, to a degree.

The natural follow-up to Hogg's suggestion --- not yet asked, to my knowledge --- is this:

"So David, have you researched other states' gun laws so that you can make a sound recommendation on where people might go instead of Florida? Because, you see, they might decide to boycott Florida and wind up going to an even MORE gun-friendly place."

"The small-caliber, high-velocity rounds used in the military rifles are identical to those sold for the civilian weapons. They have been documented inflicting grievous bone and soft-tissue wounds. Both civilian and military models of the rifle are lightweight and have very little recoil."

If I or someone I loved was hurt/killed in a train crash that came about because of unsafe conditions or lack of infrastructure spending you can bet your life I would be an activist. YOU might not like what I had to say but I would be shouting from the roof tops that shit needs to change. I think I could sleep well knowing that YOU are tired of my voice.

 

And ... The Boycott List

(Southerners boycotting Waffle House ... LOL!)

 

Why wait for someone you love to be hurt/killed? Become an activist NOW, before it's loo late.

 

Boycotts in general are silly, but suggesting people boycott an entire state is the height of ignorance.

 

It is somewhat humorous to me that conservatives are dismissing the kid activists as know-nothings without special insight. The party that reflexively asks, “What if it was your wife?” and thinks it is the ultimate death penalty debate checkmate.

 

You’re gonna have to break down all the imaginary stuff you’re responding to here.
