Don't think we'll ever see a case where a school shooter climbed into the ceiling to find victims. Gathering school aged children is like herding cats. That room is not going to work when bullets start flying. And if a shooter does go to room where a teacher has managed to get all the students sealed into that room, he'll just walk one door down where everyone is panicking and screaming and has forgotten there is supposedly a built in safe room behind the board with the days of week written on it.This stupid idea that these dopes keep propping up as a "solutions" instead of, I don't know, BETTER gun laws, but they kinda always forget about that drop ceiling above it. The shooter could easily climb up into the ceiling from another room, work their way over and get above this thing, lift a tile and well, I don't think I need to spell it out.
Trump's baseline wasn't high to begin with. But when he does this, the media lets him get away with saying he said the wrong name on person or completely overlook him not knowing basic words. **** is crazy.

People couldn't tell that Trump hanging around one, let alone five Black women was fake?
The answer is that if Trump is MAGA’s champion, Musk is its gatekeeper. He doesn’t just use his immense reach (he has 174 million followers on X) to fight the left; he owns the right wing’s public square. This is because outside of X, the public isn’t reading the right. And as a result, X now shapes the right as much as even Fox News.
On Feb. 22, a website called The Righting released an analysis using Comscore data to compare web traffic at top right-wing sites from January 2020 to January 2024. The findings are surprising: Right-wing media appears to be struggling even more than mainstream media. Of the top right-wing sites in 2020, only Newsmax gained audience over the past four years. Every other right-wing site lost visitors, and most lost a staggering percentage of them.
For example, The Righting reports that The Washington Examiner lost 66 percent of its visitors. The Washington Times lost 82 percent. Breitbart lost 87 percent and The Daily Wire 73 percent. Aside from Newsmax and Fox News (which lost only 24 percent of its visitors), every other right-wing site has lost at least half its visitors in four years. Some have lost so many that The Righting could no longer measure their reader numbers.
In fact, the loss is so profound that there are individual articles and columns in The New York Times that get more visitors than all of the content that many of these sites post for an entire month. As a practical matter, this means that social media — and principally Musk’s X — becomes the central way in which many right-wing figures reach the public.
There are several consequences of this reality. It’s altering the way the right speaks.
