Should students refuse to attend school until adults can guarantee their safety?

LA Times, 11-16-2019

" Santa Clarita shooting. Thursday’s deadly shooting at Saugus High School unfolded over 16 seconds in which a student pulled out a gun in the quad area and opened fire, killing two classmates, wounding three others and fatally shooting himself, authorities said. As students were led off the grounds, one asked aloud a question surely on the minds of many others: “What kind of a world is this?” "

...16 seconds...short of having an Old West quick-draw gun-slinger in every class room, I'm not sure what to do...

...but that's not the point nor the student's problem...would you work in a place where your life was being threatened daily and your employer could do or did nothing meaningful to guarantee your safety?...I wouldn't...

...maybe students need to form a Union and negotiate their work place safety...maybe students should take to the streets and not return until adults do something about guns and gun safety...maybe students should just go on strike and refuse to go to school...

...and now there's talk about the shooter having 'ghost guns' assembled out of pieces from the internet, unregistered and untraceable...

What do you think?

……………………….

I'm worried about the wellbeing of President Trump's family over the course of impeachment. President Trump repeated several times yesterday that impeachment was 'very hard on my family'. This could be serious.

Should President Trump do the honorable thing on behalf of his family and resign?

"Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,"

...what's so unusual about trump asking foreign governments to investigate his political opponent?

"I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press."

...and suggesting a benefit to these foreign governments if they do?

...and if asking a foreign government to investigate your political opponent is okay, then I would suggest our Dem leaders start making our Presidential to-do list...

...republicans, corporations, executives, 1%er's, their families, NRA, conservative groups of all stripes need investigating by foreign governments if these foreign governments want to curry favor with us...

...this could get very interesting...

Is the billionaire class scared and trying to buy this election?

Elizabeth Warren, yesterday,

" Ms. Warren, who has sparred from afar with Mr. Bloomberg over her proposals to tax the extremely rich, issued a blistering fund-raising message calling his potential candidacy “another example of the wealthy wanting our government and economy to only work for themselves.” Campaigning in North Carolina on Thursday evening, Ms. Warren offered a restrained comment on Mr. Bloomberg and cast her candidacy as a “grass roots movement.”


“It’s not enough just to have somebody come in, anybody, and say they’re going to buy this election,” she said. "

Tulsi Gabbard...wow

Star Advertiser, 10-18-2019

" In a series of tweets today, Gabbard called Clinton the “personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party for so long.” Gabbard also alleged there has been a “concerted campaign” to destroy her reputation since she announced her presidential run in January. "

Tulsi Gabbard tweet,

" Great! Thank you @HillaryClinton. You, the queen of warmongers, embodiment of corruption, and personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party for so long, have finally come out from behind the curtain. From the day I announced my candidacy, there has been a … "

He's back!

NBC News, 10-9-2019,

" Sanders says he 'misspoke' about scaling back rallies after heart attack, vows 'vigorous' 2020 campaign "

" "I misspoke the other day. I said a word I should not have said and media drives me a little bit nuts to make a big deal about it," Sanders said during the interview alongside his wife, Jane Sanders. "We're going to get back into the groove of a very vigorous campaign, I love doing rallies and I love doing town meetings.”

He added, "I want to start off slower and build up and build up and build up." "
………………..

" "People should think that I had a procedure which hundreds of thousands of people a year have, people should think that, according to the doctors, that I am on my way to a full recovery, people should think that I have an enormous amount of energy — and it not what they think, it’s what they're going to see,” he said.

It's the trump method of governance...

The Guardian, 10-6-2019

" The five: Donald Trump’s attacks on science "

" The US president is a climate-crisis denier, but it is not the only field in which he is at odds with scientists and their work "

" Last week, a report by US campaign group the National Task Force on Rule of Law and Democracy, compiled by ex-government officials, concluded that under the Trump administration that there were now “almost weekly violations” to the impartiality of scientific research. "

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/oct/06/the-five-ways-donald-trump-has-attacked-science
………………………………..

...the above is just one example of the trump method of governance, the main threat to our society...

...since taking office, trump has committed numerous "high crimes and misdemeanors", enough to easily warrant impeachment and removal from office...

...but even so, his legacy may live on...the real trump threat to our liberty and freedom comes from the acceptance of the trump method of governance as legitimate and normal...if the trump method of governance becomes the new normal then lies, money and foreign involvement will make our democracy unsustainable...

...truth, justice and the rule of law can not live in the cesspool of lies and corruption of the trump method of governance...

...trump must be impeached and removed from office, his supporters and the trump method of governance condemned and ostracized or we will no longer be the United States of America...

...stand up patriots everywhere, now is the time...

Jefferson Davis Trump?

The Hill, 9-29-19

" GOP lawmaker blasts Trump for quoting pastor warning of civil war over impeachment "

" Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger (Ill.) on Sunday criticized President Trump for quoting a pastor saying impeachment could trigger a "Civil War-like fracture" in the country.

"I have visited nations ravaged by civil war," Kinzinger tweeted.

"I have never imagined such a quote to be repeated by a President. This is beyond repugnant." "

" "I have never imagined such a quote to be repeated by a President. This is beyond repugnant." "

...Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger is right; this is beyond repugnant...

...trump dances with words but his meaning is clear...is it okay for a sitting President to suggest/threaten a civil war?

...is this in itself impeachable?
