I’m a former teacher *and* I’m someone who was trained on how to use a firearm by an NRA-certified safety instructor. Not in a million years would I have brought a loaded firearm into my classroom for “protection”. No way, no how. And yet somehow people think that teachers will just magically become Rambo and be able…

If only a good guy marksman, who just happened to be in the area, with a high power scoped sniper’s rifle who had a clear view into the 36th floor room of the Mandalay Bay room where the shooter was perched, had been there, then all of this could have been avoided.

Just need to point out that, once again, white dude killing dozens of innocent people, but the “Muslim Ban” is what’s going to keep us all safe.

The name Gunner is bad. While I can’t hate on Speidi for having the baby today (babies gonna arrive when babies gonna arrive) the release of that name this morning takes my opinion from merely “bad” to “very distasteful.”

Did you know that Fox doesn’t show anthems because they sell ads for the time right before kickoff?

Maybe it takes a narcissist to bring a narcissist down?

Yes, but that does not apply to public institutions. If this were someone’s private business, then you are correct. But if they are government run then protected free speech applies. Don’t *you people* know that?

You do realize that compulsory speech is not free speech and is therefore a violation of the First Amendment, right? Forcing someone to obey an anthem in the name of “freedom” is actually just simple fascism.

Honestly, I think Jimmy Kimmel should get a lot of credit for this one.

Just as it was illegal for Sarah Sanders to call for that ESPN chick’s firing, it’s illegal for Trump to call for the firing of a buncha sportsball guys. Shut this cocksucker up.

A bigot with a new haircut and outfit is still a bigot. NBC anytime you want to start paying me the big bucks for advice, I’m ready.

Precisely. Last time I got too confident I woke up and Trump was president.

Pepto Abysmal.

Do you think she’s self aware enough to realize how ridiculous this is? Like she’s just kind of doing it to do it?

If you didn’t read the memo you probably should hold off on sharing your opinion. That’s, like, the definition of ignorance.

As a teacher, I get what the intent (probably) was, but this is not the best way to approach this idea or lesson. One of the most powerful moments I’ve had as a teacher was basically moderating a discussion of racism, deaths like that of Trayvon Martin, and violence against POC in my seventh grade classroom. I was…

Trump’s threat at the UN that “The United States has great strength and patience, but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea” is really unprecedented. This is no off-the-cuff response to a question, or cranky early morning tweet, but a centerpiece of a…

We are all General Kelly.

You literally already do it all the time without realizing it.

“I had a substitute teacher today.”

“Oh yeah? What was their name?”

Plan should include periodic mental health checks/self-checks for Mom. Post partum depression is real and can be pretty dark.
