Second cup of Coffee Talk

President Donald Trump is telling the nation’s governors that he would have run into the deadly Florida high school shooting “even if I didn’t have a weapon.”

The president is again finding fault with officers who didn’t stop the Florida gunman who carried out the massacre earlier this month. Trump says the deputies “weren’t exactly Medal of Honor winners.”

He tells 39 of the nation’s governors, “I really believe I’d run in there even if I didn’t have a weapon.”

Trump is vowing to turn the nation’s “grief into action” following the mass school shooting that killed 17 people. Trump says that while “our nation is heartbroken,” the U.S. needs “to have action” on measures related to school safety and gun violence.

Great news...

The Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School ice hockey team won the Florida championship, 11 days after a gunman killed 17 of their classmates and staff members.

The fourth-seeded Eagles upset top-ranked East Lake 3-1 in the Sunday morning semifinals at a minor-league rink near Fort Myers, then routed Tampa Jesuit 7-4 in the afternoon finals.

Ice hockey in Florida is a club sport sponsored by Statewide Amateur Hockey of Florida.

Does this violate the First Amendment? Can a state government choose to tie financial incentives to a company's decisions on political positions?

You wanna know how goofy italian politics is? The origins of the salvini led "lega" party were center left (lega nord - a party from northen italy that wanted to seperate and have its own nation called Padania) and in the span of about 15 years its now a nationalist borderline right wing facist party (they dropped nord from the name lol)

Also, as an italian citizen i can vote for north american representatives (deputy and senator) who would "represent me" in the italian parliament. Lol

2 years ago there was a referendum to change the italian constitution and part of it was to eliminate these overseas seats. Italians voted no. Overseas italians voted yes to eliminating these seats lmao

The logic is so fucked up too.

No longer giving a special discount to a select group of people =/= "attacking" what that group believes in or their 2nd amendment rights. It's putting them right back on equal footing with the rest of us.

I'm not a fan of any evangelist, but I think the one you're really looking for is his son Franklin, who has controlled the organization and its heavy shift into discriminatory politics in the late '00s/early '10s.

While I disagree with much of what Billy believed in, he wasn't a pathetic political shill like Franklin is. He was huge supporter of civil rights. And unlike guys like Falwell or Bakker, I think Billy Graham was extremely genuine in his convictions and not just exploiting it for personal gains.

To be fair this was before he was the MAGAPOTUS. This was some of the brilliant oration that inspired so many Americans to vote for him. This was all Donald!!
