Red is versatile. He can fiddle while Rome burns or while the Titanic goes under.
It will be jarringly out of tune either way, but you can’t beat the idiot for his misplaced enthusiasm.

And remember how the contributions to the Clinton Foundation are a trickle, now, according to DimWard?

From the Canadian Government, July 2017:
"Clinton Health Access Initiative: SRHR for adolescents and young women - Nigeria - $20 million (2017 to 2021)
The proposed project will improve access to SRH choices for young women and adolescent girls through an innovative approach that engages both the public and private sector in expanding spaces where services and products are both accessible and meet their family planning needs."

Drip, drip, drip...

Donald Trump on leadership and government shutdowns.

Quote
Quote
“Problems start from the top, and they have to get solved from the top, and the President’s the leader, and he’s got to get everybody in a room, and he’s got to lead. And he doesn’t do that, he doesn’t like doing that, that’s not his strength. And that’s why you have this horrible situation going on in Washington. It’s a very, very bad thing and it’s very embarrassing worldwide.”
and
Quote
“Well, very simply, you have to get everybody in a room. You have to be a leader. The president has to lead. He’s got to get [the Speaker of the House] and everybody else in a room, and they have to make a deal. You have to be nice, and be angry, and be wild, and cajole, and do all sorts of things. But you have to get a deal.

Unfortunately, [the president] has never been a dealmaker. That wasn’t his expertise before he went into politics. And it’s obviously not his expertise now. But you have to get the people in the room, and you have to get a deal that’s good for everybody and good for the country.”

“Leadership: Whatever happens, you're responsible. If it doesn't happen, you're responsible.”

Unless you can blame somebody else.

Rubbish

He's been making deals all along.

And like in his businesses, people disappear (Mattis and McGurk the latest) when things aren't to their liking

Next shift.

Good thing we have armed guards in the schools to keep the kids safe.

Absolute security!

Right.

No armed guards is better., safer.

They are neither deterrent nor barrier to the actions of crazed individuals.

Case closed.

Kid, I would say that there are several ways to go in arguing for armed guards in schools.  One of them is to sarcastically "agree" with Josh's post.  That's the way you have chosen so far.  Another way, that many intelligent people find more persuasive, is to present evidence that armed guards and other "target hardening" measures actually work.  Is there evidence that you could point us to, with a link?

To make it a fair search, you might also look at articles like this....

Good luck and I hope you have an enjoyable read as you explore this topic.

When I awoke this morning at 3 am I flicked on the tv to see a man/some folk at virginiaopencarry.org explaining why open carry is better than concealed carry.
They convinced me.

Next thing you know atheists and people against Trump's pulling troops out of Syria will be trying to tell me that Jesus of Nazareth never existed...and that Christians don't matter.

Have you tried chamomile or Valerian tea?   Why would anyone in Australia want to marinate their brain in that kind of garbage.
