F**k. 😂🤬 Well, then I’ll see what tomorrow brings.

I’ll watch a game tomorrow or Sunday. I’ve been wanting to see this Tiger team.

I can’t watch the game. Here in NJ, it’s not on YES, it’s not on a local station (not at all this year, which is really ridiculous), not on Amazon Prime (which I can sometimes catch them)…. And I don’t have, nor do I want to try and access the stupid Apple+. I swear to God, it’s like mlb actually WANTS fans to throw their hands up in the air, and say “I give up… screw baseball”. I’m just about there. Screw mlb & the Yankee organization - I’ll watch the NY Rangers in about an hour, or continue watching Homeland season 7.

No, it’s because of GOP scare tactics

Well , that sucks. 😕

Peter Navarro charged with contempt of Congress.

So, then throw money and manpower into the federal response to tracking black market gun industries/perpetrators. They’re criminal enterprises, and need to be persued, much as organized crime families were. And I doubt if they’re as smart/organized as they were.

Every time I think I can’t get more despondent over this societal mindset re:guns/shootings/schools, somebody proves me wrong.

F’ing travesty. 🤬

OMG… without an F’ing doubt. Infuriating, but totally in line with GOP-speak. 🤬

And btw, my job is to teach your child. Although it becomes more and more apparent that that’s not really the job you want done.

Can you even imagine the rates of personal teacher liability insurance? lol. Yeah…. This is comical.

Jesus. How naive.

This.

I just feel the need to maybe correct an inaccuracy in this particular paragraph of yours, Chaz. Teaching grades pre-K through third grade, usually entails not only having your degree in primary education, but additional certification to teach the younger grades. Because it’s not just knowing the curriculum at that age, it’s knowing how to teach math skills, how to teach someone how to read,. Believe me, not everyone can do that part of the job. It takes additional skills. The same way that after I got my degree in primary education plus the special certification for pre-K through third grade, it wasn’t until I found myself, about 30 years later, back in the “education game”…(my venture into the financial industries & systems processing careers sidetracked me for decades 😁) where I was now teaching at a special ed school, and needed to go back to graduate school for 21 credits in teaching special ed students. Just a shout out to all my education professionals out there… I know you want nothing to do with arming yourselves…. And you know that would compound an already deadly situation.

This just seems so matter of fact….. but

She really is moronic. And so is everyone that voted for her in that district.

No, I don’t see that chas. (And of course, I hope I’m wrong) Now, of course, as we have unfortunately seen in our own country, all it takes is one over the edge type of leader to send a whole country down the path to oblivion, so I guess we should never say never. I just don’t see Ukraine going the way of some Middle East entities.

So evidently Wayne LaPierre has upped the ante a bit. I believe he used to say that gun ownership was a second amendment right for all Americans. Now, he’s calling it a basic HUMAN right…A HUMAN RIGHT. If that’s not blasphemous I don’t know what is. Does he even understand what a human right is? Thoroughly disgusting.

More than selfishness, think it’s a case of cognitive dissonance with most.

They run. They always run from the questions they know they can’t answer without looking even more ridiculous than they are.

Yes… there are many doing this country wide. Good for them…. Let’s listen to the kids who are actually the ones the guns are pointed at… and let’s find a way to actually address their VERY real fears. And, God willing, please have their elected representatives in Washington grow a pair, and do the right thing.

I also don’t know what that is, but congratulations, for sure , because I totally agree that having to pass tests is harder the older you get…. That “taking tests” mode in our heads just kinda takes off for planets unknown somewhere after your 40’s. It’s just harder!

I hear you. I came home from the hospital last Monday, and on that Thursday I had to put my dog Lucy down. I had someone come to the house, so it was peaceful for her… and a bit less devastating for me. But still awful. I’m missing her more every day. edit to add a pic of my Lucy.❤️

So basically … what we’re telling our children is that, hey, you’re not safe at school, so we’re gonna teach you how to hide. What the fuck man… Is this the best we can do for our kids? This is the best we can do? How do you look at this and other incidents (which by the way they were 27 other SCHOOL shooting incidents so for this year. Can you comprehend how insane that sounds? 27 shooting incidents in school so far this year)….and not even have a dialogue?? We have to do something. God damn it…we have to do something.
