Trump's pick for Education Secretary is not opposed to having guns in schools.  Of course not, why should she be? :1eye

She hasn't impressed many in Detroit on her contribution to education either.

The real outrage was freeing Oscar Lopez Rivera. Obama letting out his love for anti-Western terrorists. I'll wager he's been waiting his whole term for this moment. The Nelson Mandela of Puerto Rico! Lol.

Yes, releasing a 74 year old who has already served 35 years is truly a great threat to the US way of life and we can be sure he'll immediately resume a bombing campaign, as we can see by all the other imprisoned FALN members who took up guerrilla warfare again upon their release.

The FALN is defunct, the notion of using violence to achieve Puerto Rican independence is now blatantly ridiculous and while Lopez Rivera's crimes were reprehensible, he's already been in prison for decades and is clearly no longer a threat. What's the issue?

Chelsea Manning is a woman. This is a fact.


Anti-science ideologue found.

The clue is in Chelsea's surname.

Political terrorism resulting in death when democratic means are available is the worst crime a person can commit. In addition to the deaths it is aimed at each and every citizen and seeks to undermine our very democratic way of life. Anybody who engages in it should spend the rest of their life in prison as a specific deterrent. That's my belief. People are of course free to disagree. Beyond that this dude doesn't seem very sorry for what happened and plotted an escape while in prison that would have resulted in the deaths of prison guards. 

A few further thoughts:

The Hamilton musical dude, Lin-Manuel Miranda, is celebrating the release. These are the dudes who lectured Mike Pence about protecting the rights of people? Like the right to peacefully vote for the political arrangements we desire. The right to walk around a city in the US without someone who didn't like the way a vote went blowing you up?

Chicago Rep. Luis Gutierrez, who was actively involved with the violent shutdown of Trump's Chicago and the attacks on Trump supporters, is celebrating the release and decrying US imperialism in the Caribbean. It makes me wonder why I have to be ruled by Mr. Gutierrez.

Here's a semi-hostile LA Times story on the guy who's writing most of Trump's speech, Stephen Miller. I'd forgotten about him until he resurfaced during this campaign, but he first came to national prominence as a student writer at the Duke University newspaper during the lacrosse rape controversy. He was the only guy connected with the University who was willing to defend the accused, while almost the whole facility and administration was busy trying to railroad them in an extreme act of virtue signaling.

Not surprisingly the protectionist rhetoric of Trump is causing push back from free trade Republicans.  I wonder how the swivel eyed simpletons who support Trump will react if Congress pass legislation to limit his power on tariffs.
