@GottaLaff I’m watching CNN this morning and it’s clear the networks are concerned about retaliation from the Orange One if they don’t treat Kirk like he was Lincoln.

@Robgbysea @GottaLaff I’ve already been excoriated for saying pretty much the same thing in a #Masto post. Yes, as I said in my response to the excoriation, it’s always a tragedy when a 3-year-old and a 1-year-old grow up without a father. But it still doesn’t change the fact that those who live by the sword die by the sword. If you call for violence, as he has in the past, what goes around just might come around. If pointing that out makes me a bad person, then I guess I need to own that.
