    Re: They are willing to destroy this country

    Interesting article in the failing New York Times comparing tRump and Pepe le Pew...

    Who said it: Pepe le Pew or Donald Trump?

    From the article:

    Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

      I thought this was funny. from a comments section about the memos.

        Trump's comments about the NHS in the UK managed to unite Tories and Labour against him. You might also enjoy this diatribe:

          Are they going to impeach Donald Chump yet?

            Re: They are willing to destroy this country

            Donald "Make America Barf Again" trump suggests that the way to avoid school shootings is to arm teachers, so when somebody busts in, firing into a crowd, I can shoot back.

            It took four years of college before they'd let me plan an English lesson. How much training will I get before I'm expected to make decisions on when to use lethal force on a kid?

            Will I get training in urban warfare?

            I didn't sign up for that shit.

            Leave to spinster face to plan a "solution" that requires selling MORE guns.

              I was just reading about this. The weird thing is (at least according to the CNN article I was reading) is that the majority of people seem into it.

              What the hell is wrong with you Americans? We have gun laws in Canada, and this kinda stuff doesn't happen half so often.

                Odd cultural quirks + too much money in politics + poorly handled paranoia

                Anyway, arming teachers isn't a new concept. We've had this discussion before Trump. At the end of the day, it still makes complicated situations more complicated and introduces some entertaining risks for screw-ups.

                If I'm being particularly benign, there is actually a way to make it somewhat workable...

                That approach also requires significantly more effort and money than simply authorizing handgun use so it probably will never happen. Since I doubt that any portion of government will commit to an armed teacher policy that is more than simply adding extra wildcards to the field in the hope everything works, I have profound issues with the idea.

                  I just, I have friends here in town who are teachers, and I absolutely cannot imagine them teaching with a concealed firearm at their side.

                  Maybe it's just my Canadian mindset, though.

                    Nope, arming teachers as a matter of policy is an oddball "WTf are these people thinking" idea at first and second glance. At third glance...

                    I can with moderate (well, slight because I did this a few years ago and would just be updating it) effort create a series of policies where you can arm instructors and give them a role where that weapon might be useful without trying to turn your teachers into underpaid, undertrained, underequipped first responders. I can also with roughly equivalent effort find things that can still go wrong. There are better answers. Hell there are better answers that don't even require any sweeping gun control measures. Those answers all cost money though.

                      Well, you are Canadian, but it hasn't affected your mind that badly.

                      Anybody who went into teaching for the right reason will refuse to do this stupid thing.

                        tRump has clarified what he said - it turns out he didn't say ALL teacher should b armed, he said that 30% of teachers should be armed.

                        I guess that would be the 30% who never got over their testosterone fueled adolescent hero fantasies (I have a very unique skill set...).

                              OK, let's look into the future if this all becomes reality. Teachers who agree to be armed being paid more and held in higher esteem, so most people going into teaching will be of that mindset, and all that that implies - mostly Republicans, etc. Say goodbye to critical thinking and hello to indoctrinating kids in a very narrow world view, for the most part. All at taxpayer expense, of course. People are already blathering about being happy to spend more "to keep kids safe".

                                And an important thing to put on a teacher's resume will be "Confirmed Kills."

                                Time to look into retirement, seriously.

                                (P.S. Rebublicans rarely become teachers. It doesn't pay well enough.

                                What you describe, Hawkfeathers, might even out the political spectrum in schools a bit, and do something to reduce the harm caused by crazy liberal commie Democrats who give up the comforts of a plush bank account to work in public education corrupting the minds of captive children so they can be squished ito a mold and trained into automiton-like proletarian slaves by being taught about evolution, birth control, and all the social niceties they should have learned at home shortly before being potty trained, he said snarkily.)
