Trump is trying to use the Griffin incident

To his advantage. Barron having a hard time dealing with this my ass. I seriously doubt that Trump has even talked to him about it. He is such a pathological liar and manipulator. "Umm, let me say something about my son being distraught about this Griffin thing"

So he is having a hard time dealing with this, but was just fine with "grab them by the pussy"

Get the F out of here!

Not becoming of our side - and Ted Nugent's douchebaggery in no way rationalizes this course of action.

Look around you, for God's sake.

A couple of generations ago, social upheaval brought an end to a stupid, destructive war in Viet Nam. I know, because I took part in that widespread protest movement. The only thing that's going to make trump and his enabling creeps back off is cold hard fear. We can't wait until 2020---there won't be any country left. We need to be in the streets, and when it gets ugly, we need to deal with it.

8. Where I am from questioning one's heritage is the supreme insult. I would fight to protect it

That political "nonsense" was shilled by millions. Millions of your countrymen questioning your faith and blood. Nooses, effigies, confederate flags, empty chairs and burning crosses. You got your magnitudes reversed.

Kathy Griffin is an idiot flying solo

3. Melania can explain it to Barron, the 11 year old tech wizard, if necessary

Barron, who no doubt has already played countless violent video games during his childhood, should be able to grasp what is fake and what is fiction better than his mentally declining father. . Explaining the irreversible changes in his father to Barron is actually more difficult, frightening, and depressing.

'Okay, fine, we'll have a kid. But you need to understand I'm not going to feed it, change its dirty diapers or play ball with it,' or words to that effect. That's on the internet, too.
