“I’d like to see the perimeter of every school in America surrounded, secured by retired police . . . military and I want guys to donate 15 hours,” Hannity explained.
“I think we could cover every school, every hour — add a metal detector. And I think we’re going to have better schools."
“Have one armed guard on every floor of every school, all over every mall, the perimeter and inside every hall of every mall.”

Yet another reason to bless my luck that I finished school before dimbulbs such as Hannity were around to mess up our lives. I cannot fathom going to public school in a war zone. As well, I remain grateful that I never spawned so that I don't have to apologize to my offspring that such a ludicrous situation as we have today has bloomed. I always get annoyed when someone wants to blame the Baby Boomers for our present destructive situation but Trump's a Boomer and so is Hannity. I am deeply ashamed of them and anyone who purports to defend them. You vote R or you vote for some tag-end misfit, you are part of this problem. Additionally, I cannot wrap my head around how anyone with a shred of regular education embraces this fascist in the White House. Don't tell me you are against him if you voted for him and still support the Republican Party. There is no plausible explanation for that level of pretzel logic.

"Mutable" is defined as "liable to change." I hear mutated English every day that means little to nothing to me, such as "on fleek." If it bothers me enough, I google it and see what pops up. Now as far as "tag-end misfit," "tag end" means "the last remaining part of something" and "misfit" means "a person whose behavior or attitude sets them apart from others in an uncomfortably conspicuous way." There is no non-cursing way to describe the candidacy of Gary Johnson in 2016 than that of a "tag-end misfit." Remember his query regarding Aleppo*? Libertarian candidate Johnson was unaware of what Aleppo might be and here he was running on his own to be president of the US. Which, in my humble opinion, is why two parties, as sad as they are, are enough.

I don't know you and you don't know me so I will tell you this: I am not as smart as MFS62 is, since he tells us so in his signature, so if you don't understand stuff I say, you could google it, put it down to my being dumber than MFS62, or that I grew up in the era of Reader's Digest and a little feature they liked to call ""Toward More Picturesque Speech." I don't like to be trite, banal, cliché, or (Gawd help me) boring. If my excursion into "painting a little picture with words" failed for you, I apologize, but I will keep speaking in my own style because it suits me to do so. Once again, if I frustrate you with my ambiguity, I apologize. It is simply who I am and how I amuse myself.

* Aleppo is a city in Syria serving as its capital. Johnson admitted he absolutely should have known what Aleppo was.

Which leads me, after thinking it over a moment, to suspect a lot of people here will not have a single clue about my own signature line. Google it if you need explanation. It's there.

Johnson... I voted for him over Hillary and Cheesedoodlehead out of protest.

are truly confident that will be the case.

You were not alone in doing this.

I hope you both learned that "protest" votes are ok in the primary but not for the general. Get it out of your systems while you still have a chance to vote later for the lesser of two evils. The nation did but the EC was gamed.

Voting for Johnson or Stein or any of the other "mavericks" is akin to voting for the guy at the end of the bar who drunkenly raves but does nothing. Your voting process should be contemplative as opposed to a temper tantrum that has you wasting your voice on a dud. That's called shooting off your own foot.

This is like saying "Look how poor the quality of the Long Island Ducks are. Clearly the American and National league are enough"

contributed to a Trump victory. This has been a sticky point here
with some but it holds no water with me at all.
