I absolutely loved those portraits. I think it resonates with the black community and as the first black President, I thought fucking amazing.  I thought both were beautiful.

Interesting...

Well the Obama's said that they loved them also,  so I would  imagine that's all the really matters in the end.

Yes, but I can't wait to see Trumps.  Golden showers?

I learned today that I do not need to rely on the BF to drive me everywhere.  I had a wonderful drive while he was sleeping this AM and only tried to go in the wrong lane 2 times. All I wanted was some fresh watermelon.  Luckily, the cops noticed I was foreign and just shake their heads.

It took two+ years to get rid of Nixon.

There have already been 18 school shootings in 2018, and that's unacceptable

 

n February 14th, at least 17 teenagers were killed in a Florida high school shooting. And sadly, it’s far from the only school shooting the United States has experienced this year.

The gun control advocacy group Everytown USA defines a school shooting as when a firearm discharges on school property. And based on these criteria, ABC reports that there have been 18 school shootings since January 1st.

1 Parkland, Florida

In the latest and deadliest shooting of the year, at least 17 students have been reported dead from a shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School today, February 14th.

2 New York City

A gun was fired at The Metropolitan High School on February 8th. No one was injured.

3 Maplewood, Minnesota

A third-grader at the K-12 Harmony Learning Center pulled the trigger on a school liaison officer’s holstered gun on February 5th. Luckily, no one was hurt.

4 Oxon Hill, Maryland

At Oxon Hill High School on February 5th two suspects shot a 17-year-old student in an attempted robbery. The victim survived.

5 Los Angeles, California

A 12-year-old girl accidentally shot four students at Salvador B. Castro Middle School on February 1st.

6 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

On January 31st, a 32-year-old man was killed outside Lincoln High School after a fight was reported.

7 Dearborn, Michigan

Shots were fired at a basketball game at Dearborn High School on January 26th. There were no casualties.

8 Mobile, Alabama

At Murphy High School on January 25th, a 16-year-old student pointed a gun at members of administration before going outside and firing into the air.

9 Benton, Kentucky

On January 23rd, 17 students were injured and two were killed at Marshall County High School.

10 Italy, Texas

A 16-year-old boy shot a teenage girl at a high school on January 22nd. The victim survived.

11 New Orleans, Louisiana

A car shot at a group of students in the parking lot at NET Charter School on January 22nd, injuring one boy.

12 Winston-Salem, North Carolina

On January 20th, a Winston-Salem State University football player was shot at Wake Forest University in North Carolina. The 21-year-old Najee Ali Baker later died from his wounds.

Marshall, Texas

Shortly after midnight on January 15th, a car fired shots in the parking lot of Wiley College in Marshall, Texas. Although a bullet broke the window of a dorm, no one was injured.

nr=14] San Bernardino, California

Gunshots were fired at California State University, San Bernardino on January 10th. There were no injuries

15 Sierra Vista, Arizona

Coronado Elementary School in Arizona was placed under lockdown on January 10th when a 14-year-old boy entered the school and shot himself in the bathroom. No one else was harmed.

16 Denison, Texas

An accidental shooting occurred at Grayson College on January 10th. There were no injuries.

17 Seattle, Washington

On January 4th, New Start High School in Seattle was shot at twice, but no one was injured.

18 St. Johns, Michigan

On January 3rd a man committed suicide at East Olive Elementary School in Michigan. There were no other casualties.

The fact that so many school shootings have already happened this year is a sign that things need to change. In light of how common these shootings have become, we need to talk about gun reform. Our hearts go out to everyone who has been affected by school shootings.

Not sure what schools or students have to do with many of these incidents, except being the site.  No doubt all are gun free zones.  Some are obviously the parent's fault.  Common sense apparently cannot be taught and is very uncommon. What reasonable proposal exists to "cure" these issues?

Best regards,

Repealing the 2nd Amendment?

The original actual purpose of the Bill of Rights' provision for a 'regulated [i.e., armed] militia' was to give the States a means to protect against the risk of slave uprisings.

That danger is behind us, today. Nein?

Now, desirability of assassination of the current sitting Executive is another matter...

Thank you for proposing a recipe for making children into meals.  Yes, there is little danger of slave uprisings but not so for Congress Critters going completely ape.  There are numerous safeguards written into the Constitution but men have to act accordingly.

I believe the last time the military chain of command assented to the Congress's wish to make war on its own people was 1861-1865, and there was arguably some justification then?

Depends upon what you mean.  Kent State. Waco, Ruby Ridge.  Etc.  While I don't agree with the motives of some of these folks, the government did over react, yes?

Best regards,
