Meanwhile, rich people are raping kids and getting away with it.

Without consequence they will continue to do so, they are free to do what they wish since they now allow themselves to be untouchable.

It’s like we’re in the Twilight Zone or something. What a weird world this is.

The Reflecting Pool is doing an impeccable job! Its Reflecting precisely what the usa has become. Blah blah blah algae, swamp, theft, and more!

“We will not allow our sacred monuments to be roped off or diminished or in any way impacted by disgruntled individuals who think that they and not the rest of the nation have the right to decide what should happen,” Pirro said. “These landmarks and monuments belong to all of us, and they must be protected for generations to come.”

What an insidious statement about the victim here. She's literally describing Trump's actions.

This is the right headline. Too bad common dreams is pushed to the margins and too bad we don't have a real liberal media with a real megaphone.

I was told by the grade school principal for years to "just ignore it".

It stopped when I started fighting back. Sometimes violence is the answer.

Yup. My grade school bully left me alone after I saw red when he was hitting me with a tree limb and it took 3 other kids to drag me off him.

But when I elbowed him in the stomach in the cafeteria because he was choking me with my necklace from behind, I got in trouble for not getting a teacher. While I was being choked. In full view of the staff.

Zero tolerance policies are bullshit.

Teachers deserve to get punched at this point. Stupid fuckwits dont give a shit.

And dont go off at me for generalizing and absolutist attitudes. Its the same attitudes a lot of you apply to cops.
