Marc,

You really do have difficulty following a thread on the board. Are you with the GOP establishment with respect to offering "thoughts and prayers" to the latest mass shooting victims? What about the tens of thousands to come?

In a show of bipartisanship, I'll still address your points.

Who here has been an apologist for the left-leaning predators who've been in the news these last few weeks? I don't recall anyone defending Weinstein, Spacey, or Louis CK. To hell with them! And what's been your take on the accusations against Ailes, O'Reilly, Trump, and Moore? Did the Access Hollywood tape prevent you from casting your ballot for Mr. " I was on her like a bitch"? I gave up on Bill Clinton after accusations from multiple women convinced me he was a predator. Never voted again for the bastard!

As to your comment that we might view Trump as a xenophobe, heaven forbid! How could anyone who sucks up to Xi Jinping, Putin, Netanyahu and Duterte be viewed as anti-foreigner? The president just loves foreigners, especially the authoritarian types. Now, those impoverished and desperate ones, well, that's another story!
