I can’t decide which is worse. The President-Elect’s family thinking that their son MAYBE having autism is worthy of a defamation lawsuit, or the President-Elect’s family using intimidation tactics against an autistic teenager who was trying to convince people to leave their son’s behavior alone.

“Sorry Barron, it sucks to be scrutinized for every little thing because your parent decided to run for President. But hey, at least you won’t have anyone on the left calling you the First Dog”

Okay I know, anyone can sue over anything.

“Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by over two million votes” is going to be my email signature for the next four years.

Get your point, mate. Serious shit calls for serious action. But Trump is such a whiny manbaby, how can you not poke him with a stick? Absolutely fight the good fight and stay focused, but c’mon...targets of opportunity, baby!
