I did neither of those things. I made a snide, satirical assessment of him based on his actions. If you want to be critical, at least get what i did correct. If you would like my opinion more directly, this kid seems like a jerk, and the act of donning a MAGA hat in that context as a point or pride is an act of aggression and a show of loyalty over compassion, collegiality, and character.BearForce2 said:Oh look, blungld preaching tolerance by being intolerant again.blungld said:
Nothing says thoughtful and compassionate young man more than donning a MAGA hat on national TV as a point of pride. Nothing but love and tolerance in that heart of gold.

This kid is a punk who deserved all the flak he got and most of his classmates acted like punks, too.
Though I will also point out that the Covington kids also started mocking the Native Americans with the Tomahawk Chop, so even though nothing criminal happened I wouldn't say they came out looking like angels either.
I don't understand how this response relates to mine.
You calling them out for doing a Tomahawk Chop.

I watched the video for myself. Those kids were really disrespectful and Sandmann is a smirking liar.
Trump is looting the country? How? All of the looters I've seen on tv don't look like Trump people. Speaking of looks Bearrister, isn't Bette Midler Butt ugly? Probably why she says such ugly things. Barbra is kind of bad looking too. They are both great singers. Have you ever seen Rose Delauro? The ultimate two bagger.bearister said:

It was completely predictable that this is all you would come up with. Attack the source, don't challenge the facts, and pivot to a different subject matter.
As I have said here before, the reason it is a losing battle to debate with Fox News inspired Conservatives is:
They drop an unsubstantiated Talking Point. You could spend days crafting a think tank White Paper with citations in rebuttal, and then they counter with another two line unsubstantiated Talking Point. That strategy wouldn't get you very far in litigation other than having your client's case dismissed and getting sued for malpractice...but in today's arena of political discourse, that lazy man's game plan has guys like you, tRump, his kids, spokespersons, supporters and hosts of Fox News opinion shows thinking that the opposition has been slam dunked.*
*BTW, the fact unsubstantiated bullsh@it don't fly in court is why tRump always settles his cases.
