This is insane. I'd love to see the racial breakdown of the kids being paddled. They probably don't keep those statistics though.

I guess this doesn't prove that Trump was the catalyst, but I think in this correlation might just be causation.

 

Smart move:

 

In other news there was an active shooter today at my neighborhood Target. A place my daughter is constantly begging me to take her. He shot off a few rounds before the police arrived and killed him. Luckily no one else was harmed.

Damn, how horrifying. Glad no one else was injured/killed.  Unfortunately, this is the world we are left with: The OK Corral, at:

Chuch

The supermarket

Department store

Movies

And so on...

It's depressing. And scary.

It’s a good thing no one was injured, physically anyway.

Whenever I venture into my local Walgreens. I have to try to forget the parking lot shootout that happened over the summer.

What a world.

In other news,

Day 1 of Black History Month and the NYT has an article about how Black Americans are much more likely to be audited by the I.R.S. than other groups, giving credence to complaints that some members of my family have been making for years.

For fun.

Damn. It has become so normalized, but as you said in the other thread, with all these ridiculous gun laws we have it's not so surprising.

Thank you Carl. I'm not even shocked. It's just a day in the life of our nation.

I find the murderers targeting people at their houses of worship the absolute worst. If there is a good argument for the death penalty Dylann Roof is it. If we aren't going to serve it up to that kind of monster, lets just get rid of it once and for all.

Thank you Marceline. Rachel is always trying to get me to take her there. She thinks she's a mini fashionista. We are incredibly lucky.

Hearing about DeSantis, new media hero as they realize what an albatross Trump is, ruthlessly destroying so many Florida colleges, and working to lead some in a Democratic coalition against the colleges by parroting the line that he is not against education on the history of blacks in America, it's only those icky queer people who are warping for their own gain, is demoralizing beyond belief. 

George Santos once claimed to be a producer on the Broadway show Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark and I’m wondering why anybody in their right mind would claim this if it weren’t true, considering the checkered production history and the list of cast members who got injured, a few seriously, during that show’s brief run.

 So strange.
