Greetings Webtaculators! Nothing shows the true compassion of our President than requiring a note card with the bullet point “I hear you” to yet again demonstrate just how unqualified he is at his job. It is unfathomable that anyone could hold a meeting with shooting survivors to have an open dialogue and have to remind themselves to actually listen. It is even more insane that his single identifiable idea is to arm teachers to prevent shootings, since apparently the presence of multiple armed deputies clearly wasn’t enough. On to the news.
