Do you not care about the feelings of the people holding these children hostage? Don't you realize that by reporting on the kids' condition, it makes the captors feel kind of, sort of, bad in a very tiny part of their brains? Where is your compassion for them? You're the REAL monsters! And don't get me started on those kids! Always crying and hungry and thirsty. If you'd just quit your whining you little baby, you'd be plenty hydrated, and we gave you something to eat yesterday, so shut it.

Why don't you leave Elaine Chao's husband alone?

I understand that Trump voters are gleeful over my being 'triggered', but I wonder if they know how this ends for them. They all seem to think they're the only people with primal impulses and revel in their 'strength', when in fact they are the weakest of the tribe.

They are identifying themselves clearly while doubling down on violent, brutal, primitive, animalism.

There will come a time when they will desperately try to hide their participation in this Lord Of The Flies frenzy. When they will feel frightened and victimized. When they will cry out that they didn't know what they were doing. When they will beg for forgiveness.

And it will be too late.
