1/ National Security Adviser H. R. McMaster could leave the White House after months of personal tension between him and Trump. The Pentagon is searching for a "four-star military job suited for McMaster." This is not the first time that speculation over the future of McMaster's role in the Trump administration has been floated. (CNN)
Someā¦interesting (
) quotes from Trump to reporters today:
āActive shooter drills is a very negative thingā¦ I donāt like it. Iād much rather have a hardened schoolā¦ I think itās crazy. I think itās very hard on children.ā
When asked if heās ready to take on the NRA on age limits: Trump says āI donāt think Iāll be going up against them. ā¦ Theyāre good people.ā
āIf we ever pulled our ICE out, and we ever said, hey, let California alone, let them figure it out for themselves, in two months theyād be begging for us to come back. They would be begging. And you know what, Iām thinking about doing it.ā

OK my gun-crazy American friends-hereās a scenario for you:
Trump and Cruz and the NRA get their way and anyone can open-carry a gun legally with a permit. Along with all the ālegalā carriers, are the ābad hombresā that ALSO open-carry. A gun crime happens-or a school is shot up-and the police show up. Who do they arrest/shoot???
Good luck guy!
And these NRA fools (incl. puppet-trump) somehow think that a teacher can handle this responsibility against someone with an assault weapon? I join the kids in calling B.S.! Their own security guard who was trained, armed & had no other duties simply blew off his responsibility to intervene and save lives.
Geez! How pathetic and sad.

NOW: a teacher (I believe in Georgia) draws a gun - for ???
There are crazy teachers too, you know.
Yes, weāve just proven that [thereās a few crazy teachers too].
And thatās a HUGE problem, as you said, when the police show up a teacher with a gun might well be shot by accident. No thanksā¦very dumb idea. (<leave it to trump, many more dumb ideas!)
AMEN Lynn. WHo can tell the difference between the good guys and the bad guys!
And now we learn that the trained, armed county deputy on duty at the school didnāt even go inside when the shooting started. But Trump thinks that arming teachers will end school shootings. Florida school shooting: School resource deputy stayed outside - CNN
