Yep. Conservative President Trump openly fantasized in public. Yesterday in front of state governors, Trump said he would have run in to face a school shooter without a gun. We need Stephen Colbert to have some fun with this. Check out the video below.

Lawrence O' Donnell demolishes conservative Trump's fantasy of arming school teachers
It sounds like a clever idea to protect our kids from school shooters. Arm school teachers. It's an idea that comes from conservative Republicans. Yesterday, conservative President Trump proposed it. Well, when you think about it, we realize this is fantasy. Lawrence O' Donnell destroys this fantasy in this MSNBC video. He tells you a couple of problems. Crossfire. Taking down a shooter armed with an assault weapon with a handgun. Conservatives, I can agree that a very smart robot could defend our kids. But since that technology is science fiction and probably a couple hundred years away, arming teachers is dangerous.
Black Panther review
"With great power comes great responsibility" has been a theme from Stan Lee's Marvel Comics since Spider-Man. It is also one of the themes in Marvel Studio's film, Black Panther.
The film starts off with a couple of flashbacks. We're introduced to the fictional African nation of Wakanda. It has been secretly thriving due to the inhabitants use of a meteor that fell in its territory. It contained a raw material which is a power source called vibranium. The people were able to use the vibranium to power their high technology society. The movie then flashes to the early nineties where Wakanda King T'Chaka is investigating a theft of vibranium in an Oakland neighborhood. It's here where we get our introduction to the antagonist N' Jadaka who will later be played as an adult by Michael B. Jordan. I'm not going to go into the details regarding him since that's a spoiler.
The movie then moves forward to the events right after Captan America: Civil War (2016). And no, you don't have to watch that film to get the plot but it would help. Anyway, T"Chaka (John Dani) is assassinated. This causes his son, T'Challa (Chadwick Boseman) to inherit the throne. He's protected by a couple of bad ass female warriors, Nakia (Lupita Nyong'o) and Okoye (Danai Gurira). And his sister Shuri (Letitia Wright) assists the new king as a "Q" type scientist. In the movie she's lovable and steals the show.
Director Ryan Coogler and Joe Robert Cole have created an epic, legendary script. However, Director Coogler's direction is way too busy. He relies a lot on fast cutting which along with the branching battles at the end of the movie create confusion. And I do appreciate the use of real African languages, that gave the film a realistic feel. At times though it added to the confusion as it could be difficult to track the fictional names of the characters. I suppose its being raised as an English speaking American so that could be my fault.
That being said, this film is much like The Post. (2017) The last half of the movie is where it really shines. That's because Coogler and Cole add more to their story than just a good guy fights a bad guy. At first, the oppression of African Americans comes off heavy handed but the writers deftly turn that into one of the motivations for N' Jadaka. He wants to use Wakanda's might to establish his form of justice on the world. There's more to N' Jadaka's motivation which makes this antagonist, more three dimensional than most movie villains. T' Challa is faced with governing as a compassionate man while trying to address the conflict of his country being isolationist versus helping mankind. Yes, that's the "With great power comes great responsibility."
Black Panther is an interesting and exciting type of cinematic fusion of comic book action, and Shakespearean drama. It's King Arthur on the African continent. The grade is A minus.

Historian Max Boot says conservative President Trump is ignoring the worst attack on America since 9/11
Author and historian Max Boot has written in the Washington Post that conservative President Donald Trump is ignoring the Russian meddling of the 2016 election. (Washington Post) After Special Counsel Robert Mueller filed an indictment against Russian nationals on Friday, Trump has been busy in a Tweet storm of comments, But conservative President Trump said nothing bad about his best buddy, Russian President Vladimir Putin.
i agree with Boot. Conservative Trump's inaction to do anything to protect America from future Russian action is about three things. One, he's so narcissistic that Trump believes Russian meddling taints his shocking victory in 2016. The second one which is deeply disturbing but has support is that Trump is trying to hide his criminal behavior. I'm talking that his campaign colluded with the Russians. And folks, there is evidence of this. We know from Trump Jr. that the Trump company has received significant investment from the Russians. We know that the Trump campaign weakened the GOP's platform about assisting Ukraine in its struggle against Russia. Only Putin would care about that. Not your average American. Third, there was the June 2016 Trump tower meeting between Trump campaign officials, Paul Manafort, Trump Jr., and son-in-law Jared Kushner and Russians. The email setting it up expressly said it was about Russian government assistance to help the Trump campaign. Plus, there is much more that Muller knows than what has been reported in the news. Third, conservative Trump wants the Russians to interfere in future American elections to help his fellow conservatives win.
Wake up America. Keep a free United States. Vote liberal Democrat if you want to live.
Boot was on MSNBC's Morning Joe. Check out the video.

How to get a safer America from gun violence
VOTE LIBERAL DEMOCRAT IF YOU WANT TO LIVE.
So, I just listened to Conservative Republican President Donald Trump address the nation over the Florida school gun shooting. As expected, he was all talk and no action. Yes, he "expressed" condolences, i.e. he read his speech without heart. But as I listened I wondered if Trump was going to propose any legislative action to try to correct the plague of gun violence. All he did was propose a meeting with law enforcement and governors. Talk is cheap.
Yesterday, former Republican congressman David Jolly said if you want gun control you should vote the Republicans out of Congress. (CNN video below.) Amen. Conservative Republicans' allegiance is to the National Rifle Association.
Let me go further. Want clean air and water? VOTE LIBERAL DEMOCRAT IF YOU WANT TO LIVE. Want a cooler world where humanity is not threatened by global warming? VOTE LIBERAL DEMOCRAT IF YOU WANT TO LIVE. Want a free and just America? VOTE LIBERAL DEMOCRAT IF YOU WANT TO LIVE.

"Republicans will never do anything on gun control," says former GOP Rep. David Jolly. "The idea of gun policy in the Republican party is to try to get a speaking slot at the NRA and prove to that constituency that you are further right." pic.twitter.com/4ijiJ4ZwKW

Conservative President Trump protects Russians from American sanctions
Rachel Maddow of MSNBC details how conservative Republican President Trump is sabotaging sanctions against Russia. Her story is factually correct, conservatives. Check out the story below. Trump's administration also has virtually no plan to prevent the Russians from interfering in our future elections like they did in 2016.
Wake up America. It's clear that the Russians have something over Trump. Did he receive financing for his businesses? After all, Donald Trump Jr. once boasted of substantial Russian investment in the Trump companies. (Washington Post: Trump's business ties to Russia) The Pee Tape? Quid pro quo for Russian assistance in the 2016 election? Remember that the Trump campaign had the GOP platform position on lethal assistance to Ukraine against the Russians watered down. Oh , and don't forget about the infamous Trump Tower meeting between Russians and Trump Jr. son-in-law Jared Kushner where Jr. was told that the Russian government had dirt on opponent Hillary Clinton.
Our country is under attack. This fall, vote liberal Democrat if you want to live. Then impeach.
