Since Trump took office, she has increasingly been viewed as a lame duck, with Mexican diplomats choosing to channel U.S. foreign policy through White House advisors, and particularly his son-in-law, Jared Kushner.

Oops.

Police donā€™t know why Simons didnā€™t carry out the attack and probably never will, the police chief said. ā€œWe should thank God every day, whatever made him change his mind,ā€ Brink said.

School shootings are so normalized that 13-year-olds committing suicide is a relief. I know what this cop meant, but I still feel like you should save your "Thank God"s for a day when you donā€™t have a kid shot dead inside a school.

Actually this quotation gives me an idea of how to end school shootings:

ā€œIā€™d hurt and destroy something bigger but my schools an easy target,ā€ Simons wrote in one message found on his phone.

The problem isnā€™t that the kids have access to assault weapons capable of killing dozens of fellow students, itā€™s that they donā€™t have access to weapons that would let them go after real targets. What if we sold kids shoulder-fired grenade launchers or portable mortars. Give them advanced targeting systems and 5km ranges.

Iā€™m sure someone might misunderstand what Iā€™m saying here, so Iā€™ll be clear: In the exact same way that Joe Manchin doesnā€™t support disaffected youth using AR-15s to kill their classmates, I do not support disaffected youth firing high explosives into congress from the Washington Hilton.

And this is obviously satirical, but thatā€™s only obvious because we all know that congress wouldnā€™t pass laws that put their own lives in danger. I think thatā€™s the actual analysis used. If a weapon would reasonably allow a lone angry person to attack congress then it should be banned.

Iā€™m glad he didnā€™t shoot up the school, at least.

Letā€™s look at the math. The NRA claims it has 5 million members and they also admitted the discount was only used 13 times. Either the NRA just admitted their members arenā€™t the thriftiest folks around or they just got themselves caught up in a big lie.

Think about it. Out of a group of 5 million people, youā€™d think at least several thousand people would have used that discount on expensive ass plane tickets. But nope, they said only 13 people used that discount because maybe they have nowhere near 5 million members like they claimā€¦

:rofl:
