President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

They are not flowers who need your tender-loving protection. They are activists choosing of their own free will to make United States lawmakers defend their positions on gun regulations.

 

If Dicl Luger made those policy statements they are subject to criticism. But these victims are not subject to them, or any criticism for anything they have done so far. Patronize them, if you cant be an adult by listening, nodding your head and thanking G-d you can’t relate to what they are going through. Or just acknowledge that they are high school kids whose friends and teachers were just murdered, often in front of their eyes. And they hid for 2 hours believing that they would be, actually, murdered, before they saw their parents again. If you cant empathize with that, then no one should ever give a fuck about your existence.

 

I think that's what I was trying to say.

 

And that concludes the Board Racist and Smallpotatoes segment of today's politics thread.*


*Probably not, but we can all hope.

 

This is a discussion the country needs to have - now.

These kids are positioned to be the ones taking up the side of increased gun regulation, and they have the will (and time) to do so.

No response = no discussion = nothing accomplished.

Again.

They deserve to be engaged with, not patronized.

 

Have you ever had a sloppy joe from Tabachniks in West Orange NJ? They are awesome

 

Trump raises concerns about impact of violent movies: 'Maybe they have to put a rating system for that'

This is a great idea. We should totally institute a rating system for movies and video games.

 

Tipper Gore just got damp and she doesn’t know why

 

Here's how dumb the whole "Give teachers guns and there won't be school shootings," meme. What happens when you get someone who wants to just shoot up the school, get as many fellow students as they can, and they don't care if they get themselves killed? What then?

 

This whole "give teachers guns" thing is a red herring anyway. How many mass shootings take place at schools? Five to 10 percent of them? Are we going to also stick an armed usher in every movie screening? In churches? At all of our offices?
