But even habitual attention seekers can cross the line into unforgivably cruel and over-the-top behavior, and they finally deserve to get attention for that. Her attacks on Omar were similar for me--crossing a line from being a troll to being a truly ugly and destructive element in politics.

They give in to their children's attention seeking behavior. The result of course, more attention seeking behavior.

Right, it is what they think... it's their reality. Consequently every time a Democrat expresses outrage, they are happy.

Also, the kid on the right looks like he's pondering taking a shot.
