Yeah my thoughts too. Very ghoulish and shock effect reporting.
I actually question how a parent grants the interview and talks alongside about the event.

I like your idealism, even if it’s never going to happen :slight_smile:

At risk of repeating myself in the same thread, if children being shot doesn’t move your idealogical needle, then nothing will.

Someone mentioned CRT.

That is such a non-issue which has become such a big issue in last couple of years.
It is a very definition of distractive politics

This is what the American conservative movement has devolved into. It’s an onslaught of conspiracies, aggrievement and hate rhetoric which then turns into legislation.

In Florida schools cannot allow any acknowledgment of gay or non-binary students or risk being prosecuted for “grooming”—another buzzphrase they’ve made popular lately.

Red states are banning textbooks that acknowledge the U.S.’ history of slavery and persecution of black people because of
CRT.

Abortion rights will likely be overturned federally but in a number of states it is already near impossible for a woman to get an abortion.

Republicans are fully on the fascist train headed for a cliff.

Am I hearing right, that the copper, the so called ‘good guy with a gun’ was there but that it from the shooter?

Well a good hand gun versus a bad semi automatic assault rifle is not a great match up.

If only those 9 year olds carried uzis to their elementary school. All of this could have been avoided. :disguised_face:

Forty minutes to an hour and they did nothing.

At some point your generalisations of conservatism and conservatives in America will have to face reality, when considering the demographic mix of Florida and yet it now becoming a red state. It’s not based on rednecks. It is based on a realignment including increasing numbers of Latinos and Hispanics, many of whom are solidly grounded in faith, family, freedom (escaping communism), etc.

The other thing, while you diss conservatives and red states is to see the mass exodus out of blue New York, into red Florida. That makes this all much harder to isolate to kooky conservatives, but instead Americans as a whole, free to choose which state they want to live in. The exodus continues out of blue states. Illinois is a sh*thole, for example, and it isn’t a result of conservative rule there.

There’s obviously a lot wrong with the ideology you are aligned with, in terms of results in places which apply it, but never mind, keep ignoring that and stick with the same old tired talking points from the Guardian or wherever.

Cos getting them from PragerU is much better.

Finding that to quote after most of my comments, as morning read to marry up with most of what I had said and what I wanted to say, not quite. The title was Condemning Anti-Americanism (or something like that), so it seemed to capture my feelings well at the time.

Actually in most cases I am not the greatest fan of PragerU, for nuanced reasons. I’m a free thinker. Those who think the New York Times, WashPost, Guardian, etc. are on the side of the working class instead of elites pulling up the drawbridge are dimwits, most beyond help.

Best country in the world hahahaha

BBC spin on these energy payments is plain bias.
Not addressing the imbalance of what has already gone up in bills.
Terms being used like more than expected are just a false narrative and not needed.
