“We’re having a meeting, see?”

by | 96 Comments

This post is in: , ,

A dapper child reporter asks Sarah Huckabee Sanders what specific actions the Trump administration is taking to address school shootings:

I didn’t see the briefing live, but much of the media reaction online centered on the wobble in Sanders’ voice in the clip above. The break in her voice when addressing the boy might have been humanizing in a person who hadn’t demonstrated so conclusively that she’s a soulless shill for a putrid demagogue.

But we know what she is, so let’s hear what she actually said, which boiled down to this: “Blah-blah-blah we’re having a meeting about it.”

The bottom line, charming kid-reporter, is that the tangerine-tinged homunculus who is that woman’s boss received $30 million-plus from the firearms business lobbying group known as the NRA, so neither he nor any of the craven turds who meld together to form the towering shitpile known as the Republican Party will do a goddamned thing to address school shootings in a meaningful way. Ever.

However, these folks are trying (via The Miami Herald):

Parkland parents launch a Super PAC to go after politicians and the NRA

Starting Wednesday, some Parkland families are raising money for a campaign to push the National Rifle Association out of politics and ban assault weapons, bump stocks and high-capacity magazines in the U.S.

Following the lead of their children, parents from the community where 17 died in a Valentine’s Day shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School have joined together to form Families vs Assault Rifles, a nonprofit and political action committee founded to be a counterweight to the NRA…

The parents’ Super PAC is soliciting $17 donations, one dollar for each life lost in the shooting.

The PAC site features video and a quote from Marco Rubio’s disastrous appearance at the post-Parkland CNN town hall as the banner — they’ve adopted the so-called “problem” Rubio identified — “you would literally have to ban every semi-automatic rifle that’s sold in the U.S.” — as an objective! I’m in for $17 bucks.

Open thread.

    Texas Governor Gregg Abbott released a “School and Firearm Safety Action Plan” today in a surprisingly rapid response to the Santa Fe shootings.

    You can read it here, but don’t bother because it’s all pointless window dressing (“Expand Crime Stoppers Program”, “Protect school employees by implementing a zero-tolerance policy for students who commit assault”) so that he can pretend he is taking meaningful action.

    A sad side story on Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School: they plan to knock down the building where the slaughter took place, but from the school’s web site:

    When is the 1200 building coming down?

    With a trial pending, the building is evidentiary. The building will not come down until the conclusion of a potential trial.

    Understandable, but still a bummer.

    @Mandalay: The good news about Abbott having a meeting about school safety and releasing a plan is that it shows that Republicans know they can’t just go with thoughts and prayers anymore. It isn’t working. The general public is sick of all the school shootings and they want things to change. Abbott’s meeting and plan may be stupid but he’s trying to look like he’s “doing something” because people are demanding things change.

I can understand the impulse behind that — something so horrible happened there that the demon must be exorcised. But in a way, tearing the buildings down seems like a fig leaf to cover the awful fact that we’re unwilling to substantively address these tragedies.

    How much you paid Trump means nothing, only how much you may pay him in the future. Still, I’m sure he expects more money, he’s a mean shit who has less than no sympathy for the victims (I’d bet he thinks it’s funny and their fault), and as a hardcore white supremacist, he’s at least sympathetic to the argument that white people need all the guns they can get.

    @Quinerly: The thing that strikes me: no discussion of whether the results were legitimate. I wonder if they have any doubts now.

    And it’s astounding they did not know that Trump was under investigation. That strikes me as negligence by the FBI and Saint Comey.
    I won’t be reading that book.

    Peter Baker wrote the article.

    … And yet despite criticism even from former advisers to Mr. Obama, Mr. Rhodes offers little sense that the former president thought he could have done more to counter Russian involvement in the election. Mr. Obama had authorized a statement to be issued by intelligence agency leaders a month before the election warning of Russian interference, but was thwarted from doing more because Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader, refused to go along with a bipartisan statement.

    Mr. Rhodes called Mr. McConnell’s refusal “staggeringly partisan and unpatriotic.” But Mr. Obama, whose Supreme Court nomination had been blocked by Mr. McConnell for months, seemed less surprised.

    “What else did you expect from McConnell?” he asked. “He won’t even give us a hearing on Merrick Garland.”

    Still, in preparatory sessions before meetings with the news media before the election, aides pressed Mr. Obama to respond to criticism that he should speak out more about Russian meddling. “I talk about it every time I’m asked,” he responded. “What else are we going to do? We’ve warned folks.”

    He noted that Mr. Trump was already claiming that the election would be manipulated if Hillary Clinton won. “If I speak out more, he’ll just say it’s rigged,” Mr. Obama said.

    Mr. Rhodes writes that neither he nor Mr. Obama knew at that time that there was an F.B.I. investigation into contacts between Mr. Trump’s campaign and Russia, despite Mr. Trump’s recent unsubstantiated claims that the departing president placed a “spy” or multiple spies in his campaign.

    Mr. Rhodes writes he did not learn about the F.B.I. investigation until after leaving office, and then from the news media. Mr. Obama did not impose sanctions on Russia in retaliation for the meddling before the election because he believed it might prompt Moscow into hacking into Election Day vote tabulations. Mr. Obama did impose sanctions after the election but Mr. Rhodes’s suggestion that the targets include President Vladimir V. Putin was rebuffed on the theory that such a move would go too far.

    Mr. Obama and his team were confident that Mrs. Clinton would win and, like much of the country, were shocked when she did not. “I couldn’t shake the feeling that I should have seen it coming,” Mr. Rhodes writes. “Because when you distilled it, stripped out the racism and misogyny, we’d run against Hillary eight years ago with the same message Trump had used: She’s part of a corrupt establishment that can’t be trusted to bring change.”

    … days later, Mr. Obama seemed less sanguine. “I don’t know,” he told aides. “Maybe this is what people want. I’ve got the economy set up well for him. No facts. No consequences. They can just have a cartoon.”

    He added that “we’re about to find out just how resilient our institutions are, at home and around the world.”

    I don’t think Obama did enough to warn. I wonder if he’s changed his mind since.

    However, article by Peter Baker, who is a FTF NYTimes Republican whisperer. Setting the stage. This article pretty much says “Obama thinks Trump is legitimately president.”

    And we don’t know: did Obama know Trump was under FBI investigation? Rhodes says he personally learned it from the media after the election. But article is silent on whether Obama knew.

    I was hesitant to donate to his campaign before, because money is tight in my house and I hate that all political money seems to go to ads and the people who place them.

    However, this does not seem to be the case. He has really good people at the grass roots level, and they are committed to the whole ticket top to bottom, not just the Senate candidate.

    Education doesn’t get much press, so DeVos doesn’t get much press, but her school safety commission is not getting high grades:

    Nearly three months—and seven school shootings—since President Donald Trump created a commission to seek solutions to school violence, the Cabinet-level panel is being slammed for what critics see as its slack pace, lack of transparency, and limited representation.
    Advocates, parents, and educators note that the commission, which is led by U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, has met only once since it was set up in the wake of February’s massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. They say there’s been very little outreach to the education community.

    She has a consistent problem with a lack of transparency and not including anyone from a school when setting school policy.

    The much-ballyhooed Trump “apprenticeship” committee was the same. They rolled it out like it meant something and they ended up releasing a report. WILDLY over-sold.

    Betsy DeVos just does a horrible job. She’s never run anything in her life . She was a lobbyist funded 100% with family money- she wasn’t even ever a real employee, hired and retained in any kind of merit-based process, let alone a manager. She couldn’t be fired as a lobbyist- the whole thing was funded by her family.

    One amusing thing- she may be the most run-against Sec of Ed in history. It seems like every state level Democrat in the country is using her in campaign ads.

    The good news about Abbott having a meeting about school safety and releasing a plan is that it shows that Republicans know they can’t just go with thoughts and prayers anymore. It isn’t working. The general public is sick of all the school shootings and they want things to change.

    And yet, right wing nut jobs continue to have a melt down caused by their desperate attempts at denial.

    Sadly, the worst of these clowns keep trying to blame what they perceive to be the evils of permissive liberal society for gun deaths.

    A GOP congresswoman from Tennessee who is running to be the state’s next governor blamed pornography — and the decline of the family support system — for school shootings, according to reports.

    “Pornography, it’s available, it’s available on the shelf when you walk in the grocery store,” Rep. Diane Black said during a listening session with ministers at Safe Harbor of Clarksville, Tenn., The Tennessean reported, citing audio obtained by HuffPost.

    “Yeah, you have to reach up to get it, but there’s pornography there. All of this is available without parental guidance,” she said. “And I think that is a big part of the root cause that we see so many young people that have mental illness get caught in these places….”

    “I think it’s deterioration of the family,” she added, citing the expression “Idle hands are the devil’s workshop.”

    Black said that without a family support mechanism, teens turn to the internet, violent movies and porn — though she didn’t specify what it is about porn that she believes is leading to school massacres.

    She claims that she knows these things because she’s a nurse. If wimmins got married, stayed home and read the Bible to their babies, America could have all the guns they wanted, just like God intended.
