Someone to tell him they don’t have to stand there and take his crap. Someone to tell him they are NOT nasty, low IQ or any of the other names he calls them. He really is so childish it’s laughable. Only in this day and age is it tolerated and I find that frightening. None of this will happen, of course, but I can dream.
