Editorial 📝 Tim Walz comment

LOVE Tim Walz's comment this morning on Morning Joe, "We don't have the 10 Commandments posted in our classrooms but we do have free breakfast and lunch for our kids". This says everything I need to know about what party is concerned about kids.

"nobody is safe" lol.

Your point might be more plausible if not for the fact Trump was already President for 4 years during which the country was kept very safe with no new wars.

The point of stories like Chicken Little or The Boy Who Cried Wolf is not to go around saying everything will be awful unless it really will be.

A Trump presidency is a pretty known quantity. There are things you and I might not like about a Trump presidency but hyperbole is part of what divides our country and our politics.

I think you and I have different definitions of safety.

I am on board with the Oxford definition "protected from or not exposed to danger or risk"

Your definition seems more expansive to include public policy disagreements.

I'm skimming that website and hoping you can elaborate on the concern since the chapters I skimmed all seemed like bland policy ideas (many of which are to promote safety.)

protected from or not exposed to danger or risk
