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

(17,863 posts)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.

(7,768 posts)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. Lets just take that off the table and move forward.

(706 posts)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.

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"?

Never heard that but what a good one. He cannot stand tRump - and other bullies.
