We can be heroes, just for one day. Today's hero is Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D).




WOW -- Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D) challenges Trump to his face on his plan to arm teachers, tells him "we need to listen to educators and they should not be foisted upon this responsibility of packing heat." Trump responds by crossing his arms and quickly changing topic

with this buffoon that they would say something. Like the political speech to the Boy Scouts, if someone had the courage to stand on stage and say during the speech that the Scouts are non-political. Also a LEO sharing the stage when he discussed brutalizing suspects say we don't treat suspects that way - it is unconstitutional and just wrong.

“So I just suggest we need a little less tweeting here, a little more listening,” said Inslee, who has been rumored as a possible Democratic challenger to Trump in 2020. “Let’s just take that off the table and move forward.”

a sign of some sort of defensive attitude, good for Gov Inslee for giving him hell.

your beer.

He said it numerous times last week at the listening session, the CPAC snoozefest, and the Turnbull press conference.

And I don’t know how many times he said it today...golly, that lil fella is just so tickled with himself!

he starting saying, "We'll only allow teachers that are adept at handling guns have them" to paraphrase.

But, yeah, my governor is pretty good.

Back in 2016, he was asked who the better golfer was: Himself or Trump. Here’s his reply: “Oh, I am, for sure. I don’t cheat.”

He didn't just cross arms and change the subject, he frigging cut him off to do it. I'm glad Gov Inslee waited him out and when trump shut up, Inslee kept going and made his point. Then trump goes straight to Abbot to bail him out lol.

I'm so proud of my Governor. Jay, you spoke the to power and idiocy. So I want to know-
IS THE NRA GOING TO PAY FOR ALL THAT TRAINING THAT TEACHERS WILL NEED ON THE RANGE? How about the cost of all those shells? And the substitute teachers while they are in training? Will the NRA pay for all that "freedom"?
