To School or Not to School

To School or Not to School

by MichelleMcHatton

It seems that everyone in government wants to stick their nose into deciding whether our children should be physically attending school come the new school year.  In other words, having school buildings open for children, teachers, office staff, custodians, food service, etc. to risk their lives in the face of coronavirus, all in the name of education.

The delusional SHITHOLE who calls himself “president” and the good-for-nothing “education secretary” Cruella DeVos can say what they want about their desire to have America’s kids to go back to school.  But in conclusion, there’s not a goddamn thing they can do about how it happens.  So if school district X wants to send their students back to school in a hybrid form (say two days at physical school, three days schooling at home), SHITHOLE and Cruella have no say.  SHITHOLE can threaten to take away funding.  Most of the funding the schools get comes from the state, possibly even the town (I know of such a district that relies on most of the funding for the school from the town itself).  So SHITHOLE and Cruella can fuck right off.

What these two idiots, and the rest of their idiotic “administration” need to consider is what happens if these kids go back to school and then suddenly many people get sick.  Including children.  Just because “stats” claim children don’t get sick, doesn’t mean that’s the case.  Many children have gotten sick from COVID-19 and some have died.  Children aside, if all the teachers that taught the children got sick, then who would teach the children?  Of course.  The parents.  At home.

On June 25, 2020 the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education released a 20-page booklet that they call “DESE Initial Fall 2020 Reopening Guidance”. They state that their goal for the fall is to “safely bring back as many students as possible to in-person school settings, to maximize learning and address our students’ holistic needs. With the information provided in this memo, districts and schools should begin planning for a fall return that includes multiple possibilities, with a focus first and foremost on getting our students back into school buildings”.  The document also states that “districts and schools must plan not only for in-person learning, but also hybrid learning models (in which students learn in-person for some of the time and remotely for some of the time) and also full remote learning.  Remote learning may be a necessary option in the fall for some students who are unable to return to school due to underlying medical conditions and potentially for all students if COVID-19 forces widespread school closures in the future.”  They indicate that school districts need to have their plans presented to DESE by August.  But it doesn’t give a specific date.  Hope it’s before August 25, because that’s when my daughter returns to school.  That’s confusion number one for me.

Confusion number two are the discrepancies they present in physical distancing.  The document states that the “federal CDC has recommended maintaining a physical distance of six feet between individuals, the World Health Organization’s guidance states approximately three feet”.  Then under the “Distancing Requirements” section it states “As reviewed and advised by the Massachusetts COVID-19 Command Center Medical Advisory Group, schools should aim for a physical distance of six feet when feasible and three feet is the minimum distance allowed”.  So what the fuck is it?  Six feet or three feet?  How about we go halfsies and call it a day?

I may have missed it but the only time they mention a bus is when they indicate everyone needs to wear a face mask on the bus.  I don’t recall reading anything about how many kids they plan to fit on a bus or how they plan on sitting them on the bus.  Especially if they need to remain six (or three) feet apart.

It is being recommended that students are to be placed in “cohorts” and will remain in their “cohort” throughout the day.  Of course it doesn’t mention anything about the one kid in the cohort who is a bully and chooses to pick on all the other kids in the cohort.  Because you know that will be the case in many “cohorts”.  But that’s another topic for another day, isn’t it?

The guidelines suggest using alternative spaces in the school for teaching (i.e., cafeteria, library, auditorium).  Even teaching outside.  Yes, that will be great in January.  It is even suggested teaching at a different location off campus.  Anyone up for learning at the local Dunks?

I’m not even going to discuss the financial aspects, because apparently this document believes each school district and each school district family is loaded.  Families are to provide their own face masks, but there will allegedly be back ups at school.  Hand wipes.   Hand sanitizer.  Sanitizer I can find.  Wipes I haven’t seen since February.  Disinfecting wipes I haven’t seen since February either and although I know you can order the commercial brand, I hope schools realize that they are on at least a month’s back order.  And to be able to provide enough of these materials for people within a school for 180 days.  For some districts that cost will break them.

I can’t speak for other school districts but mine has laid off twenty-two educators.  I know many others have faced the same situation and that will put a burden on many as well.

None of us know what the new school year will bring.  Anyone physically going to school and getting COVID-19 will not surprise me.  Because that is a very likely scenario.  We can only hope for the best, hope for not many cases and hope for the best kind of education one can receive under this “new normal”.

What Are We Calling It?

What Are We Calling It?

by MichelleMcHatton

Tonight the alleged “Press Secretary” of the United States made a statement in rebuttal to today’s testimony by William Taylor, the former US Ambassador to Ukraine.  Her first sentence indicates that SHITHOLE has done nothing wrong.  And that’s just her first lie.  Because since he became “president”, SHITHOLE has yet to do anything right.  In fact, and it is a fact, if only he had been playing his “presidency” correctly and not wrongly, America would not be in the midst of an impeachment right now.  She goes on in her “statement” to mention all that is happening is a “smear campaign” (something her “boss” knows a lot about).  But just today SHITHOLE himself called it a “lynching”.  It’s also been called a “witch hunt” and “fake news”.  Christ, make up your minds.  Which is it?  She says that what is happening is “waging war on the Constitution” (there’s that document again…the one her “boss” knows nothing about).

She goes on to say there was “no quid pro quo”.  There’s that phrase once again.  It’s everywhere!  Because her “boss” has been doing lots of it.  Her statement continues on saying that “today was just more triple hearsay and selective leaks from the Democrats’ politically-motivated, closed door, secretive hearings”.  Hold it.  Does this bitch realize that only one person was testifying today (not three–and that’s not hearsay–he was really there, both today and then), that most of the leaks have come right from the White House and that in those closed door secretive meetings there were also Republicans?  Or is she as stupid as her “boss”?

She blabs on to say that “every day this nonsense continues more taxpayer time and money is wasted”.  Funny, most of America feels the same way when her “boss” goes golfing!  Which he has done for the majority of his “presidency”.  We’ve been keeping track.  Talk about wasting taxpayer money!

Now here’s the big laugh of her “statement”.  She claims SHITHOLE is “leading the way for the American people by delivering a safer, stronger and more secure country”.  Yes, all the members of ISIS that recently escaped from Syria, because SHITHOLE allowed them to, will certainly make America, and the rest of the world, much, much safer.  All the people he encourages at his pep rallies to entice violence on minorities are certainly doing their part in keeping America safer.  How’s that wall coming along?  You know the one that people have been recording themselves climbing over?  And how about that great gun reform you have going on.  Wow.  If anything this country has not become more safe, strong or secure.  It’s become more stupid, selfish and insecure.  Kind of just like the SHITHOLE who is “running” it.

She then finishes off her shitty statement by referring to the Democrats by her “boss'” favorite bully nickname:  the do-nothings.  No, if SHITHOLE was actually doing his “job” then they would be “do-nothings”.  Because then they wouldn’t have to do anything to protect the country from SHITHOLE.

Remember:  Mueller said that “if we had confidence the ‘president’ did not commit a crime, we would have said so”.  And they didn’t say so.  It still has not been proven that SHITHOLE has not committed a crime.  Until it is actually proven that SHITHOLE has not committed a crime, then all cards are on the table and it’s safe to say that he has committed a crime.  Or two.  Or three.  Or four.  Or more.  Just because someone says he hasn’t done anything wrong, doesn’t make it true.  Those are only words.  This “administration” and this SHITHOLE say a lot of things to make you believe things.  Because that’s what they want.  It’s called gaslighting.  And people that fall for it are victims.

All SHITHOLE has at this point in the game is his fading followers.  He will always have the fools.  They can’t help themselves.  What is unfortunate is that they are the ones who will be hurt the most when all is said and done.  Because SHITHOLE doesn’t care about them.  Because he can’t.  He can only care about himself.  It’s part of his disease.  He is a psychopathic narcissist.  He is the biggest two-face in Washington, DC (and there are a lot of two-faces in Washington, DC–many of them right in SHITHOLE’S own “administration”).

If you’re one of the fools who still support SHITHOLE and you wonder why this impeachment is happening to him, remember, you’re one of the fools who begged us to “give him a chance” and you should also remember (if you can think for yourself) that if he hadn’t done anything wrong, an impeachment wouldn’t be happening to him.  Because innocent “presidents” don’t get impeached.  It’s very simple:  you do something wrong, you get impeached.  You don’t do anything wrong, you don’t get impeached.  Get over it.

The Real Candidate

The Real Candidate

by MichelleMcHatton

Twenty Democrats have spoken.  Each has had their initial chance to tell America why they feel they would make a better President than the SHITHOLE we have now.  Of course, considering the current “president”, these twenty people didn’t have to really say much to prove themselves.  A flea on a rat would make a better “president” than SHITHOLE.

On a more serious note, I want to tell you who I”m voting for.  I’m voting for the REAL candidate.  I’m done with fake, because that’s what we have now.  By real I mean the person, man or woman, who does not try to impress me by speaking Spanish, French, Dutch or any other language than English.  Because I’m not impressed.  The fact you can speak another language is great.  But tell me, other than the fact you can speak another language and SHITHOLE can’t, how is speaking another language going to make you the kind of President America needs?

By real I mean the person, man or woman, young or old, who understands what Americans go through in their everyday lives.  All Americans.  Rich, poor, middle-class, homeless, immigrant, undocumented.  Working.  Unemployed.  Mothers.  Fathers.  Grandparents.  I want the real candidate to grasp exactly how Americans live.  How many struggle to make ends meet.  How a working family of two is barely getting by and is not saving a cent.

By real I mean the person, man or woman, black, white, Latino, straight, gay, bi, trans, whatever, who knows what Americans want in healthcare, education, gun control, climate control, immigration and basic human rights.  I want the REAL candidate to not only KNOW what Americans want, I want them to UNDERSTAND why they want it.

I don’t care what race you are,  how old you are, what sex you are, what your sexual orientation is, what religion you are, what school you went to, how many languages you speak, if you were in the military, if you play piano, the oboe or the trombone, if you are married, have kids, have pets and vacation in Europe.  None of that means anything to me if you aren’t at first REAL.

The Case Is Far From Being Closed

The Case Is Far From Being Closed

by MichelleMcHatton

Most sane Americans wonder what wonderful things Trump supporters are referring to when they applaud him and say “he’s the best President ever”, “he’s done such great things”, “he’s wonderful” and whatever other kind of bullshit they can blow up the narcissist’s ass.  Of course when you ask them what it is he’s done so great, most can’t even speak.  I have yet to actually get an answer from any SHITHOLE supporter about what he’s done so great.

So what I like to do when they feed SHITHOLE with accolades that just make his SHITHOLE ego even bigger, is put the shoe on the other foot.  Because they, along with SHITHOLE, are nothing but a bunch of hypocrites.

I wonder what they would be saying if it had been any other presidential candidate other than Trump who stood on a stage and told Russia to find his opponent’s 30,000 emails.  What if it had been Obama?  Or should we use someone from their own party such as Bush?  Or Reagan?  Would they have cheered George H. W. Bush on if he called on the Russians to do something against his opponent?  What if it had been any of those presidents who mocked people with disabilities?  Or stated how they liked to grab women by their pussies?  Would SHITHOLE supporters like those candidates just as much as they like SHITHOLE when he said it?  Would SHITHOLE supporters like any other president who caged people seeking asylum?  Would they like any other President who keeps threatening to take away their healthcare or fucked with their taxes so much that they ended up paying the IRS for the first time in their lives?  Would they have liked Obama if he called other Presidents, Senators or other members of Congress names?  Would they have liked any other president if they had called anyone names?

Would they have liked any other President if they had banned Muslims (or people of any other religion) from entering the country, only weeks after taking office?

Would they have liked any other president if they had shut down the government for over a month, causing 800,000 people to go without pay?  Would they have liked any other president if they carried on and on like a spoiled brat about wanting a fucking wall to make it more difficult for people with skin colors he doesn’t like to enter the United States?  I wonder how they would have liked Obama if Congress decided to hire a Special Counsel to investigate his criminal activity.  Oh that’s right.  Obama didn’t have any criminal activity which would cause the hire of a Special Counsel.

The point I’m trying to make is that SHITHOLE “supporters” really aren’t “supporting” anything but their own stupidity.  They are hypocrites in the hole so deep they can’t get out.  And they are stuck.  Because you, me and the lamppost know that if any of the atrocities that SHITHOLE has committed were done by any other President (especially the black one), we wouldn’t stop hearing about it.  And rightfully so.

That’s why SHITHOLE and his supporters will not stop hearing about Robert Muelller, Russian collusion, subpoenas, indictments, how much money SHITHOLE never had, how racist SHITHOLE is, how sexist SHITHOLE is, how much of a criminal SHITHOLE is, the list goes on and on.  McConnell and the rest of the crooked GOP can say “case closed” as much as they want but the case wouldn’t be closed if it were any other president, and with this “president”, the case is far from being closed.

Making America Embarrassed Again…and again…and again

Making America Embarrassed Again…and again…and again

by MichelleMcHatton

Donald Trump has gone and embarrassed America yet again.  What’s new?

Today’s embarrassment was probably the worst so far (but stay tuned…tomorrow’s another day).  Today this dotard referred to other countries of the world, mainly Haiti and unspecified African countries, as “shitholes”.  But I’d really love to ask this moron if it’s actually the “countries” he thinks are “shitholes” or mainly the “people” who either live there or have immigrated here.  Because, they’re not from Norway and, you know, his racist ass…

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this is our classy, professional “president” representing us.  Working hard to make us more and more embarrassed every day.  That’s about all he’s working hard at because he sure as hell isn’t doing any kind of leading for this country.  Unless you count leading us into the ground.

Imagine how people who currently live or have lived in those “shitholes” must feel.  The people from these “shitholes” and “shitholes” other than Haiti and unspecified African countries are what have made America.  The people from “shithole” Ireland.  The people from “shithole” Germany.  The people from “shithole” Syria, Pakistan (fill in the blank with any “shithole” Middle Eastern country).  You name it.  America is a melting “shithole” made up of people from all kinds of “shitholes” all over the world.  We ourselves have become a “shithole”.  We are probably the shittiest “shithole” country on the planet.  What other country can say they are one of the wealthiest yet have children without enough to eat?  What other country can boast they have an asshole idiot for a “president” who wants to eliminate everything put in place to protect the citizens, from environmental protections to healthcare?  Only America.  The shittiest “shithole” of all.
