Oh she is not a nice lady.WATCH: Florida state Rep. Elizabeth Porter dismisses Florida shooting survivors calls for increased gun control.— Jon Levine (@LevineJonathan) March 7, 2018

And yes you heard her right.
You know the reason that the "children," as she calls them, feel the need to make their voices heard is because they have all shared an experience called "getting shot at with a semi-automatic rifle" that this nasty woman has been spared.This woman also clearly says, "The adults make the laws because ... we has the wisdom"— Jon Levine (@LevineJonathan) March 7, 2018
Now perhaps she will have yet another experience that the students have yet to endure called "getting voted out of office."
They can also school her in English grammar!
ReplyDeleteOT. I'm sorry to bring in an OT, but IF Humpty Trumpty is actually going to meet with NK's Kim (instead of changing his mind half a dozen times then canceling completely), it will be historic.
ReplyDeleteHaving said that, I have to admit to having great faith in Humpty Trumpty: he WILL make things worse. Some how, he will screw things up and insult the NK leader, leading to even hotter trouble.
I suppose it's possible Un will see that Trump is truly nuts and Kelly might take an Un official aside and tell them to tell Un not to worry, they won't let Trump do anything stupid.
DeleteI think Asians are more forgiving of doddering old people than the West.
If Un sees Trump is all mouth, no brains and will be shackled by his subordinates when it comes to action he'll be re-assured.
Or Trump will bully him and start WWIII.

ReplyDeleteI’m sure most have heard by now that Kim Jong Un has agreed to meet with Trump. This is a big deal, and at first I was happy.
Then reality set in and I read the above article about the myriad of ways this could go wrong. Trump is awful at handling sensitive diplomatic matters. There’s also the possibility that Kim is using Trump, and Trump is using the meeting for attention and bragging rights.
Now I don’t think it’s a good idea at all for this meeting to take place. I can’t see it ending productively, and it could make future talks much harder.
This is going to be a nightmare, since the one person with knowledge of North Korea in the state dept is resigning.
DeleteI think Kim is playing Trump. With Donald at the diplomatic helm, there is just no way this will end well for America.
DeleteI hope I'm wrong.
Yea. She’s a big POS and an asshole. Definitely on Russia’s payroll.
ReplyDeleteWhat an insensitive, blind-sided jerk.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Rep. Porter is bought & paid for by the NRA.
U know the best way to tell if a Florida legislator is bought and paid for by the NRA? Thete an (R) after their name
DeleteIts bad when the children must say ENOUGH is enough to adults directly. Its bad when the children recognize that adults have become toxic liars and not worthy nor qualified to make laws. Its bad when children know right from wrong over PREDATOR lying adults. It is sad that our children and young adults can see the hateful racist lying adults behave like juvenile delinquents. Its bad when they witness the waste of time and waste of tax dollars in their government and democracy.
ReplyDeleteNO child in this world should be exposed to violence, sex predators, assault weapons, abuse, hate, or IGNORANT adults. Children are born innocent and without hate.
"we has the experience"
ReplyDeleteMisspoke or illiterate? I go with illiterate because of her general attitude ... arrogant and ignorant, too. I smell the Dunning-Kruger effect.
Many of those 'children' she is talking about are 18 years old and will be voting.
ReplyDeleteThe 16 and 17 year olds will be voting in 2020.
DeleteShe's an idiot whose time in office will be over soon, never to be repeated. They will see she is defeated and never holds office again. You better believe they are keeping a list of politicians and learning how politics and elections work.
They may be young but they're not stupid.

ReplyDelete"“This is the most difficult race in America. This is the No. 1 race in America,” Heller said, adding later: “ They did manipulate our elections. My biggest concern is — I’m going into ’18 and my biggest fear is [the Russians are] going to try to do it again.”
Republicans say Heller is doing the best he can, given the tough hand he’s been dealt running for reelection in the only competitive 2018 battleground that supported Clinton.
“After we passed tax reform we’ve seen him do well in terms of the data that I’m seeing,” said Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), the vice chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. And, he added: “The president is very supportive of his [reelection].”"
Dear Dana Loesch: How Do You Sleep at Night?
ReplyDeleteAn open letter to the NRA’s top apologist: You are contemptible. You don’t scare me, and neither do your sick fans.
Dear Dana,
I live with my family in a rural part of Appalachia. I have two small girls, one in second grade and one who’ll start school this fall. Their dad is a Marine, a combat vet. I was raised on firearms. I’m from the country; I couldn’t tell you when I shot my first round. I just know that I’m most comfortable with the Ruger P89 because I get a solid double tap every time on that one, though I’ll tell you I struggle with a Desert Eagle. It would be, we’ll say, unwise to approach my house, generally speaking.
If we lived in a reasonable world, I wouldn’t have to make that clear. But I don’t live in a reasonable world. I live in the dystopia that you fight to preserve, one in which a single crazed person can buy a military-grade weapon and come visit my house anytime he thinks I have spoken too loudly. You and I both know that happens every day in this nation. Still, somehow, you sleep enough at night that you look rested on air, assuming that’s not just a genius makeup person and a lot of concealer.
...But let me answer your most recent “ad” quite directly: Come for me. No, really. Are you not just a shill? Do you believe the words you are happy to say, or is it just the paycheck that keeps you on air? You said my time was running out, and as far as science is concerned your hourglass is finite. I’m waiting for you, since you issued your vague challenge. Maybe that’s another difference between where we come from; in my mountains we don’t issue ultimatums we don’t mean to follow up on. It would be a sign of weakness to issue an empty threat.
But then, weakness is your wheelhouse; you pose with rifles for your book covers but you hide from unarmed schoolchildren who say mean things on the internet. You blatantly lie about how hard-pressed you are; we all saw that video of you leaving that town hall while people chanted “shame” at you, and it’s real cute that you want to cast that as people threatening you. But—real talk between women from the heartland? You ain’t fooling nobody.
You’re not that good an actress. Which is, I imagine, why you gave up your Hollywood dreams. You never did have the chops, which at least explains your wooden stand-ups and also why when you tried to shop a show, the few contacts you had turned you down. It’s a small town, you know, and when you became a laughingstock (the most recent time) after the teenagers owned you on national TV, everyone started talking about that time you tried to break in again. I suppose that’s part of why you hate Hollywood so much. It must be horribly embarrassing to have so publicly wanted to be included in a circle that wouldn’t give you the time of day.
But that’s another difference between us, I suppose; I never wanted to be famous and I don’t give a shit what people think of me. Maybe that’s why I made friends in the circles you never could break into, because I’m not trying for that shot at fame. You, on the other hand, are so desperate that you actually officially brand yourself as punk rock. I and my yellow laces think that’s real cute.
Speaking of laces, though, we should mention race. Specifically, your incredibly open racism.
...The irony, of course, is that you would not dare face me; you can’t even bring yourself to face schoolchildren without feeling like you have to insult them (which, by the way, is another sign of weakness. Most adults don’t have to drag traumatized kids to keep the upper hand.) You pose and posture and parrot, but you lack the courage of your convictions; you would never risk yourself. You will keep talking about how 5 million people stand behind you, and you will never mention that your millions are a vanishingly small part of the population.

Another westerner who believes parents give inherent existence to their children.
ReplyDeleteAgain, this is an error of the western mind.
Sorry these young people have to contend with such systemic ignorance .
Ban all guns. Replace with Hello Kitty mittens for all.

Just came home to get news of this latest development. Will arming the nurses at veterans' facilities keep them safer? /s Will Preznidint Mighty Mouth rush in *here* unarmed to 'save the day'? /s Stay tuned! (heavy /s)
ReplyDeletehttps://www.rawstory.com/2018/03/watch-live-police-respond-active-shooter-possible-hostage-situation-ca-veterans-facility/
Update: Four dead (three hostages, one perpetrator).
DeleteThe facility housed veterans with PTSD. This incident probably triggered lots of new episodes. Not to mention the grief trauma to the staff. Inevitable 'solution' - of course, as mentioned before - arm the nurses! /s
Do we also have to arm everyone at concerts, malls, churches, movie theaters, hotels, nightclubs, convention centers, political rallies, businesses, airports...? Where the hell does it stop???
DeleteI know the NRA would be thrilled at the idea, but I certainly don't want to live in a country where everyone out of diapers is expected to carry a deadly weapon at all times because Congress is too damn cowardly and greedy to pass some sensible gun control legislation.
