I understand Trump is thin skinned and petty but that shoe apparently fits you too. Sorry if you are offended by the diaper comment but it seemed appropriate given the whining. If you can point out one tragedy at home where he showed a lack of empathy that may bolster your case but I can’t think of one.

Well his lack of empathy started decades ago, when he bragged about his building being the biggest in Manhattan now that the twin towers fell. Classic Trump moment making fun of a disabled journalist, or calling a women too ugly for him to assault, or stating African American women have low IQ’s. His behavior toward the widow of Army Sgt. La David Johns was another perfect example. How about when he initially refused to lower the flag to half mast after the passing of John McCain and this past weekend’s attack is one only a coward would make. While Bounty Company might have liked him throwing rolls of paper towels after the hurricane, it showed again his complete lack of empathy. Oh and how can we forget his classic line, that I’m sure there are good people on both sides. Shinning moment for him, showing unbelievable empathy (NOT) for the thousands in California who lost everything, instead focusing on his opinion mismanagement of the forests caused the fire, someone with empathy holds those opinions to much much later. Christ, where aren’t there examples of his complete lack of empathy, the list is a long one for sure.

Your insults don’t bother me in the least, just exactly what I’ve come to expect from the hard core MAGA hat wearing crowd, if it makes you feel better to insult and bully people, then you are a reflection of what sits in the oval office. While I disagree with yours and others opinion of Trump, I refuse to get down to your level and start throwing insults.

FFS, tens of millions of people voted for Trump, any chance you can refrain from holding them all accountable for what Dangles says?

Are YOU responsible for the sniper who killed the cops in Dallas, or for the shooter who targeted Republicans at the softball game, or for a million other bad things that liberals have done? Are you responsible for the anti-Semitism from Omar, or for the nonsensical babble from Cortez?

No, you're not.

There are tens of millions of liberals, and tens of millions of conservatives. Neither group has a monopoly on character, neither side has a monopoly on moral lapses.

Trump is unique, no question, and he is to be held accountable for his frequent disgusting behavior. But some of you are completely obsessed. We all concede, I think, that he's not an ethical person. So how about convincing me that his policies aren't helping the country?

As to his making fun of the reporter. There is video evidence, actual video evidence, of Trump using the same physical gestures to make fun of someone else who was criticizing him, who wasn't disabled. So maybe, as Trump said, it's just an immature, baby-like response he has, to everyone who disagrees with him. I wouldn't put it past him to make fun of a disabled person, but that video evidence offers another plausible explanation. But let's ignore that, because doing so makes him look bad.


Also, in Nigeria, it's estimated that 280 Christians have been murdered by Muslim fanatics since February. How come no one knows about that, how come no one is talking about it, while everyone is talking about what happened in New Zealand?

ANSWER: one atrocity supports the liberal narrative, the other doesn't. And that is all that matters.

Dangles asked for examples and I gave him what he wanted, simple as that.
