Really weird weather: I actually had to turn my air conditioner on as the temperature in my home sailed past 80. It was just a week or so ago I was chipping ice off my car windows.

What the heck is Trump doing claiming exoneration from Mueller because of the Russian indictments? Just because some some Russian activity predates Trump's official candidacy doesn't mean anything.  Trump's own defensiveness over the investigation is suspicious.

The gun restrictionists continue to go on the offense following the recent Florida massacre of 17 teenage high school students. One of the teachers opposes and mocks the idea of arming teachers. Tell me, would someone take the risk of being outnumbered by armed individuals? Don't count on teachers using martial arts against armed intruders.

Trump is "threatening" to withdraw immigration control from California. Yes, please, and would you also add the other 49 states and DC, giving them a boost in long term growth?

*

Doesn't it bother you that the unprincipled POTUS, while militarizing the police, wants to control your right to self-defense?

*

Did you ever notice that the 20% of the American population who are left-fascists claim to represent "the people"?

*

Trump supports "comprehensive background checks" to buy guns. What does that mean? I think if you didn't vote for Trump in 2016, you're disqualified..

A mother says if her child hits another with a stick, she won't blame the stick but take it away.

How many sticks are there in America? All those trees.

Me, I'll go to the nearest sports retailer and buy a bat. What are they going to do, look up my lifetime batting average?

Technically, a school bombing. But yeah. Remember when Nobel Peace Prize winner Obama had 41 men on his kill list--didn't get them all, but managed to exceed expectations with 1147 people killed, including children?
