Hogg is simply the Poster Boy for the self-absorbed generation now growing up (or not) and their permissive parents who turned their up-bringing over to a school system more concerned with social justice than with the Three R's.

So I guess his 4.2 GPA is only for his social justice class?

I was on a watch list for a while - was a total pain every time I flew - which was often. Had to jump through hoops to prove I was not the one on ehte list. Luckily, the counter folks at NW knew me from my frequent travel and were able to help.

Newer assume the Freaking government can do anything right - iit can't.

A 4.2 GPA is only good for one thing - getting in to college. Seems it is not working. He ca't get in.

They are all social justice classes these days.

I don't know what a 4.2 GPA means these days, but it is clear that the schools he applied to weren't very impressed with.

Is that 4.2 on a scale of 10?

A 4.2 now would have been a 3.5 20 years ago. School districts grade easier in order to get max dollars.

No morals or integrity, along with a complete absence of credibility.

They mock David Hogg.
Yet, what have he and his peers achieved in a short period?
Only to motivate hundreds of thousands, if not millions,
of young people (and not so young people) against conservatism.

Those kids have achieved way more in a couple of months than
any number of these ass wipes could dream of in a lifetime.

Let them keep laughing.

Face it, being shit on by all these people is good for his business. I don't think his supporters even care about guns anymore, they just like to see right wing celebrities fall into the Sandra Fluke trap over and over again.

They have the good sense not to dwell on it.
Meaningful change in gun control is nothing but a mirage.
Especially under current governmental conditions.

Vote a bunch of those NRA puppets out of office,
and the playing field levels off.

Ummmm...remember Obama? Remember Dem control of Congress starting in, what was it? 2010?

Did they enact sweeping gun control changes that were suddenly eliminated by Trump the minute he stepped into the White House?

Funny stuff you post.

Maybe you have some puppets of your own.

Just like it was back in the Golden Age of the Obama White House, when the Dems had a filibuster-proof Congress and passed all those strict new gun control laws.

Yep. Immigration reform and gun control were not dealt with. They didn't want to lose votes dealing with those issues. That's why $hit never gets done. I think Trump will warily modify gun laws but definitely get immigration reform done. That with what has been done til now will satisfy me. Infrastructure be nice. You?
