> [@](#): > > … The kid looks miserable enough without this shit. I wonder how common an impression it is. I have had a similar reaction every time I see a photo of the young Barron. I just plain feel bad for him, he looks like he would like to know what it is like to go fishing and get dirty. Or just be any where but where he is. And yeah, I wondered if maybe he had some issues brewing. Anybody else get that flash, you look at him and you just can’t help thinking “poor little sumbitch”? ---

Jesus. And they call _us_ snowflakes. If you’re threatened by what is a fairly basic statement of the obvious by someone who has given a \*\*hell of a lot more \*\*to America than you ever will, you should just unplug all your electronic devices, lock the doors, turn off the lights and hide under your bed for the rest of your life or until sanity returns. ---

> [@septimus](#): > > This is the same Khizr Khan whose son died trying to help protect America from Islamist extremism. And more directly, trying to protect his fellow soldiers and bystanders. His death wasn’t some abstract patriotism thing, but a very personal decision that he could prevent multiple deaths by his own and it was the right thing to do. Trump and Republicans in general are just disgusting. ---
