(100,133 posts)It was hair-raising as a chronicle of family abuse, but then you were left with the impression he had risen above all that.
Of late Ive concluded he really didnt rise above his sad origins (except in the sense that he got a good education and made money). His decision to embrace Trumpism is just just well, deplorable.

(10,252 posts)Where does all that hatred and ill-will come from?
All contaminated phenomena (hatred and ill-will) are in the nature of suffering. Did it never occur to Vance that Baldwin and Hutchins' family are suffering at her loss. All Vance achieved is to bring more suffering into the world.

(47,665 posts)Their parents were also selfish assholes too with their violent, racist tendencies hidden behind a thin veneer. And of course, just like Trumpy, their parents didn't love them.

(7,302 posts)I had the thought that the live ammunition could have been loaded by someone on set who is a Trumpster and who was out to get Baldwin for all his parodies of Trump. I mean, even though it was an accident, couldn't there be some kind of manslaughter charges and perhaps prison time for Baldwin?

(2,843 posts)...be so refreshing to actually have a candidate on the record calling his opponent an asshole and, if questioned about it, consistently using this perfect example of why its true.
