GOP Senators On Upcoming Trial

Great, then are you FOR extending the school day by the 2 hours it takes to open a backpack and check for knives and guns, each and every time they come to school.  

My solution would be to have armed, trained guards at schools wandering the halls, ex-police perhaps.

Your way is to go through ALL backpacks.  Good, now we see the stupid response vs. the more logical response, and the more sensible response IMO.

Can we take the extra money out of your pay each day to fund the extra 2 hours per day, MINIMUM that it would take to search all backpacks?

When I went to high school, there were something on the order of 2500 students in my school.  

SO then IF even 10% of the students carry a back pack full of books, which I think is REALLY a conservative estimate, then you would agree that Every single day, 250 backpacks have to be inspected. If they are fast they'll do it in 20 seconds per backpack.

My guess is that it will take about 30 seconds per backpack.

Can you do simple math?  If so then you'll understand that 30 seconds X 250 is about 125 minutes.  

That's about 2 hours 5 minutes EVERY single morning to check backpacks.  Good luck with students putting up with that.

OR you could have cops with GUNS stationed around areas of the school whose SOLE job it is to watch for weapons and attacks.

What is the drawback then?  

For you, it is the SCARY ness of the cop with a gun in the school.  OOH, how scary.  

So instead, let's take the illogical course and check all backpacks every day.

I take it back I thought you were an idiot, but now I see that you are a genius!  Thanks.  
What a moronic response from our internet troll. The students simply walk thru the points of entry with a metal detector in place:

GOP Senators On Upcoming Trial

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Interesting to see on various GOP senators grapple with reality on the upcoming impeachment trial:

Yup, that impeachment hearing in the house was a real "disaster" for the Democrats as per all of the prime time Fox "news" commentators...

It's over, guys. Trump is officially farked! There will be articles of impeachment, and I will not be surprised to find out the whole administration is dirty.

Sondland brought the goods and is reading emails aloud for the world to hear; no wonder the WH was so worried about his testimony.
James,
Didn't you hear the Republican response to Sondland on the Quid Pro Quo? It's just a presumption on his part! He is just an ambassador so what the ---- would he know?! 
Extorting and bribing a foreign government with a quid pro quo in order to get a contrived "investigation" into a political rival and that's evidently hunky dory with some members of the forum, not to mention Republicans in general. The latter also don't have a problem with the same perps in the WH claiming it never happened with their denial of "no-pressure" on the Ukraine president AFTER they knew the the truth was going to break. The guys who state everybody does what Trump does as their rationale for the Quid Pro Quo evidently don't have a problem with the perpetual poop of perjury coming out of the WH either...

Was there any part of my analysis that you disagree with?  

Jim
I agree with James when he concludes and states (and contrary to what you think):
"I think the average voter will remember Trump as the slime-ball that he is and decide he doesn't deserve a second term, and it will have consequences down-ballot. As you say, we will see."
We also now know as of this evening that Nunes, while pushing Trump's narrative at the impeachment hearings that he never had any interest pressuring the Ukrainians to get dirt on the Biden's, was actually a fellow perp who met with Rudy's associate for a meeting with the fired Ukrainian prosecutor who had no interest in fighting corruption and claimed, without any evidence, to have dirt on the Bidens. Additionally, the DOJ report into the Russia probe will exonerate the FBI and the department and dispel the deep state conspiracy theories including clearing Comey and McCabe and others. The Republican deep state hoax has bit the dust...

Also, reporting now is that the Ukranian Gas Company Naftogaz's CEO is willing to testify against Rudy and say that Rudy and his partners in crime were attempting to leverage their political influence to land lucrative contracts. Certainly explains why Rick Perry was part of the three-amigos. Of course, the hilarious thing is, Trump and cronies are once again off committing the very crimes they accuse everyone else of doing. I gotta say, the writers for this season of, "Trump! The dumbest President in History!" have outdone themselves.
James,
I don't know if you caught the video the other day of Barr and Trump yelling at each next to a window in the WH. Barr evidently informed Trump of the DOJ report exonerating the the FBI and the department of the deep state nonsense and ditto for the Steele report. Trump already has been said to be pivoting onto something else.
Meanwhile, on Fox news, Trump continues to peddle the debunked crap about Ukraine meddling in the 2016 election instead of Russia. Putin must be laughing his ass off...

Tell you what Greg, since you're the one that buys into Trump conspiracy theories, doesn't believe Sondland when he said there was a quid pro quo because it was just a presumption on his part, here's a video that i'll post for you without you having to look for it:

It's just a few moments so it won't take up your important time to see it.

Additionally, if you don't believe Barr and Trump were actively exercising their muscles of mastication, jawboning over upcoming report, the gist of which has already been linked to in the forum, simply read the report when it arrives in its entirety...

And John Bolton wasn't locked out of his government twitter account by the WH, he just forgot his password because he's old:

Cons of the forum buy that one, too.
