PROGRESSIVE DISCUSSION - Monday 2-26-17

"Chris Kyle the greatest american sniper in military history was shot and killed when confronted by a "crazy guy" with a gun. So we just have to train the teachers a lil bit better than Chris Kyle."

Blue skies, sunshine & 29 degrees above. ND Banana Belt weather. Lots of snow around tho, so still feels like Winter.

Ivanka skirming about the question asked of her of her dad's infidelities was abit satisfying. First off, odd question to ask her. Of course she is going to defend her father. . But then again she is a senior advisor, so, she should get tough questions. The whole family is clueless so why bother even asking any of them questions. I wonder how she will feel about Daddy throwing Jared under the bus in leaving decision to Kelly to decide on security clearance for him. Or did JA throw Kelly under the bus to make that kind of decision? Either way it could get sticky. From what I've read, both Jared & Ivanka do not like Kelly & were upset when Porter got fired. So as I said the whole family is clueless.

JA using a photo of his visit to the hospital for fund raising is wrong on so many fronts!

The daughters of the guy who wrote The Snake poem are asking JA to stop using their Dad's works in his speeches. Good for them!

I think the sickest thing at that CPAC convention was JA comments about McCain & the booing of McCain from the audience. McCains daughter had asked JA previously if he would stop bring up her Dad in his speeches & rallies & JA promised her he would. Guess we know how much any promise from him is worth. Just disgusting behavior!

Amen to both Linda and Pat's comments. It is disgusting behavior by them all, and I agree that these people chanting like idiots at his rallies are not patriots. They are brainless imbeciles. He will say and do anything to get adulation from his audience of lemmings.

Linda, I heard that on my car radio. I wanted to stop and give a standing ovation for that WA governor, but decided the traffic behind me wouldn't appreciate the gesture.

As for his running into the school even without a weapon, maybe he might want to save money for training teachers to pack heat by doing away with his secret service detail. Clearly he must be tough enough he doesn't need them.

Baby steps.

Sadly, too many of our babies had to be taken before we even took one little tiny step in the right direction. Even the little tiny steps we're finally taking are because our children encouraged and embarrassed us into doing something.

I'm going to have to get another plaque for my wall. I have one that reads, "Listen to women for a change." Now I need one that says, "Listen to children for a change."
