Good job, Jay! And you gotta love how Trump immediately calls on the governor of Texas after Jay gets through pounding home the stupidity of Trump's plan to arm school teachers. It's like a toddler reaching for his security blanket during a thunderstorm—except in this case, the toddler is the president, his security blanket is the gun nut governor of a blood red state, and the thunderstorm is a blue state governor calling BS. As for what this means for the rest of us: We are so on our own if that 9.0 hits while Trump is in the White House. FEMA is gonna be like, "Washington state? Familiar with Washington D.C. but never heard of no Washington state." (And, yes, Katie already put this up. But it's worthy of two posts!)
