Well it's that time of year again... where the rabid reich wing assemble in the nation's capitol to brag about all they have done to destroy everything which was once good about the USA.
And first up, here's a timely appearance from Terrorist Enabler and Ammosexual In Chief, Wayne LaPierre (French for "Little Peter") of the gun lobby NRA, just back from his victory lap following his latest mass murder in Parkland, Florida.....

This guy is such a fucking imbecile. Scamalot Harris isn't remotely a "socialist", and Cuomo Jr is barely to the "left" of Little Peter himself.

Just when things couldn't get any dumber the idea of giving teachers guns becomes a solution.
By an amazing coincidence a solution that makes the owners of the NRA a lot more cash.
There are 3 million teachers in the US, how many are to get guns - 1 in 10? 300 000 armed people around your children who are in a profession which is always in the top 10 for depression and anxiety.
Are you fucking crazy? Think back to your time at school and think of your teachers and consider which of them would have volunteered to be one of the gun people. Would you really want those people armed around your kids?

There was a teacher at my high school who literally picked up a student's desk and threw it across the classroom. I don't even want to imagine what he might have done with a gun.
My (sadly Republican) brother was a teacher up until he retired a few years ago. He owns a couple of guns, but as far as I know, he had enough sense not to take them to work with him.
Most teachers of course are cool but when you get into numbers like that, even if 1 in a 1000 was a danger then that's a lot of dangerous people. Anecdotally it seems that most schools have a one or two 'characters' so it's maybe a way higher than than that.
We had one of those, too. Basketball coach, and phys ed/health class teacher. He'd lose his temper pretty easily, then the chairs went flying.Originally Posted by FORD

Yeah, especially when there already WAS an armed deputy that basically shit himself and didn't go in after the gunmen. A trained cop didn't, but teachers will? They like to ignore the fact that there were already armed security people at most of the school shootings...
I don't have a problem with certain administrative staff carrying, or having access too, guns. But like this is a panacea so they can continue to allow unrestricted access to military type weapons for teens is fucking mindbogglingly...
NRA Calls For Teachers To Keep Loaded Gun Pointed At Class For Entire School Day
10/24/13 2:38pmSEE MORE: News
FAIRFAX, VA—In the wake of Monday’s tragic Nevada school shooting in which a 12-year-old student killed a teacher and wounded two classmates, representatives from the National Rifle Association pushed for all teachers around the country to keep a loaded gun pointed at their classes throughout the school day. “The only way to ensure safety in our schools is to make sure teachers hold fully loaded firearms at students from the moment they walk into the classroom until the moment they leave,” said NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre, explaining that educators should, at the very least, point one 9mm semiautomatic pistol at the class while also keeping a concealed .357 magnum revolver and several spare cartridges of ammo nearby at all times. “If teachers need to write on the board or turn the page of a textbook, they should always use their free hand while keeping the gun at face level of all students and holding one finger firmly on the trigger. Frankly, this is just common sense if we want to prevent these tragedies like Nevada from happening again in the future.” LaPierre added that for maximum security, teachers should give all lessons from underneath their desks while blindly firing a semiautomatic M4 carbine assault rifle in all directions.

There is also the fact that research found that 82% of rounds fired in gun battles by NYPD miss their target.
Fuck knows what the hit rate of a frightened teacher would be.
Problem seems to be people live in movie fantasy worlds where they are Bruce Willis or some shit.
That guy is now the third biggest coward in the state of Florida. George Zimmerman & Marco Rubio are still ahead of him, of course. Even so, this guy was such a pussy I'm surprised Trump hasn't grabbed him yet.
Her phrase "Crying white mothers are ratings gold" is disturbing to me as a non-american. I get the agenda for sure. Selling more guns for civil war makes sense to her and the whole lobby.

Trump is the snake?
I’m Glad I Got Booed at CPAC
By MONA CHAREN
FEB. 25, 2018
The Failing New York Times
I’ve been a conservative my entire life. I fell hard for William F. Buckley as a teenager and my first job was as editorial assistant at Buckley’s National Review, followed by stints writing speeches for first lady Nancy Reagan and then working for the Gipper himself. Looking toward the 1988 race, Vice President George H.W. Bush wasn’t conservative enough for me. I went to work as a speechwriter for Representative Jack Kemp in 1986.
So you’d think that the Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC, would be a natural fit. It once was. But on Saturday, after speaking to this year’s gathering, I had to be escorted from the premises by several guards who seemed genuinely concerned for my safety.
What happened to me at CPAC is the perfect illustration of the collective experience of a whole swath of conservatives since Donald Trump became the Republican nominee. We built and organized this party — but now we’re made to feel like interlopers.
I was surprised that I was even asked to speak at CPAC. My views on Trump, Roy Moore and Steve Bannon are no secret. I knew the crowd would be hostile, and so I was tempted to pass.
But too many of us have given up the fight. We’ve let disgust and dismay lead us to withdraw while bad actors take control of the direction of our movement. I know how encouraged I feel whenever someone simply states the truth, and so I decided to accept CPAC’s invitation.
Like the Republican Party, CPAC has become heavily Trumpified. Last year, they invited alt-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos (and withdrew the invitation only after lewd tapes surfaced). This year, in addition to the president and vice president, CPAC invited Marion Maréchal-Le Pen, granddaughter of Jean-Marie Le Pen and niece of National Front leader Marine Le Pen.
Matt Schlapp, CPAC’s chairman, described her as a “classical liberal” on Twitter. This is utter nonsense. Ms. Maréchal-Le Pen is a member of the National Front party, and far from distancing herself from her Holocaust-denying, anti-Semitic and racist grandfather, she has offered him a more full-throated endorsement than her aunt has. “I am the political heir of Jean-Marie Le Pen,” Maréchal-Le Pen told the Washington Post last year. “He was a visionary. He was right about a lot of things.”
So it has come to this: a conservative group whose worst fault in years past may have been excessive flat tax enthusiasm now opens its doors to the blood and soil nationalists of Europe.
While there were reasonable, mainstream Republican speakers at CPAC, the lineup also featured demagogues like Sheriff David Clarke Jr. While he oversaw the Milwaukee County jail, one pregnant prisoner was repeatedly raped, and several prisoners died in the space of just six months. One was a mentally ill man who was denied water for seven days. No matter. The sheriff was cheered by the CPAC crowd.
My panel was about the #MeToo movement, which was a natural for me since my new book coming out in June, “Sex Matters,” grapples with the movement and other aspects of our fraught sexual ecosystem.
After every woman on the panel had a chance to speak and with 10 minutes remaining on the clock, the moderator threw a slow pitch right over the plate. She asked us about feminist hypocrisy. Ask me that at a cocktail party and I will talk your ear off about how the very people who had lectured us about the utter venality of workplace sexual harassment throughout the 1980s became suddenly quiescent when the malefactor was Bill Clinton.
But this time, and particularly in front of this crowd, it felt far more urgent to point out the hypocrisy of our side. How can conservative women hope to have any credibility on the subject of sexual harassment or relations between the sexes when they excuse the behavior of President Trump? And how can we participate in any conversation about sexual ethics when the Republican president and the Republican Party backed a man credibly accused of child molestation for the United States Senate?
I watched my fellow panelists’ eyes widen. And then the booing began.
I’d been dreading it for days, but when it came, I almost welcomed it. There is nothing more freeing than telling the truth. And it must be done, again and again, by those of us who refuse to be absorbed into this brainless, sinister, clownish thing called Trumpism, by those of us who refuse to overlook the fools, frauds and fascists attempting to glide along in his slipstream into respectability.
I spoke to a hostile audience for the sake of every person who has watched this spectacle of mendacity in disbelief and misery for the past two years. Just hearing the words you know are true can serve as ballast, steadying your mind when so much seems unreal.
For traditional conservatives, the past two years have felt like a Twilight Zone episode. Politicians, activists and intellectuals have succumbed with numbing regularity, betraying every principle they once claimed to uphold. But there remains a vigorous remnant of dissenters. I hear from them. There were even some at CPAC.
A substantial number of people applauded. And as I was hustled out of the building by security, various supporters gave me the thumbs up sign.
Just before I reached the exit, a woman approached me and called my name. “That was so brave!” she told me.
She was one of my fellow panelists. I hope she’s encouraged. I am.
His movement was denied to be part of the CPAC 2018. However he found a spot to spread his belief. All in the name of free speech.
