Hysterical Headlines (Funny or Absurd) for February 21st
Bottom Line: These are the daily doses of nonsense in the media and my hot takes on them...
Miami Herald's many headlines:
Florida mayors can be fined $5,000 if they enact stricter local rules on gun control
Lawmakers still split on assault weapons ban — but survey finds room for compromise
Turning anguish into activism, Parkland students push America’s gun-control movement
Hot Take: Four headlines all pointed in one direction. Not one reference of the FBI or the failures that led to the attack occurring. As I've stated in a separate story today - gun control is likely coming - it's just a matter of what it looks like but is anyone else concerned that if the FBI had done their damn job we're not having these headlines? That 17 people would still have their lives in Parkland? That 49 people would have lived in the Pulse night club? The more one dimensional the focus has become on simply gun control in the wake of the shooting - the more it appears that many are more interested in politics than solutions.

Hot Take: Just in case you were wondering...
For Dems, It's Impeachment or Bust! William McGurn, Wall Street Journal
Hot Take: And there it is. What has Donald Trump done that'd potentially rise to high crimes and misdemeanors? Never mind that 15+ months of nonstop efforts to produce, illegally even, evidence has produced not even a credible claim against him let alone actual charges and you have a political party attempting to run on it in the midterms nevertheless. What does it say about a political party, it's base and the media covering it all when there's not even a charge brought against the President and it's acceptable to assert that you'd impeach him? How'd you like to be on trial (with no evidence of wrong doing) with a jury of similarity minded people looking to get you?
Until tomorrow...
