My video apology, specifically when I said "I’m just now seeing the reaction to these images..." was in reference to anyone who has dealt with what Daniel Pearl's family did. After I posted the apology, things did start to calm down..until the next morning..

After my apology video, things started to calm down..but the next morning...Trump tweeted this which started a process I was completely naive to which I like to call the Trump wood chipper.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Kathy Griffin should be ashamed of herself. My children, especially my 11 year old son, Barron, are having a hard time with this. Sick!

The way I like to look at it is Trump is the most powerful news director and campaign director. A tweet from Obama was just a message..a tweet from Trump is an order to his millions of followers and the news media. And that day I was the target of that order.

1. and, another nail for his coffin

2. His name is Jack Dorsey and is it fair to ask if this Twitter CEO is an Enabler-in-Chief?

Is there ANY RED LINE which Drumpf can cross which would be ruled a violation of TOS and a ban from Twitter, or is the fear of retribution against the company and even polonium-laced cocktails too much?

Or is Dorsey a fan...he seems to champion Bitcoin and sadly Bitcoin is a staple of Alt White content.

When Drumpf's Kristallnacht comes let history show all those who helped make that possible.

3. I'm not so sure all of trumps followers are supporters of him...

...a whole lot were found to be bought..others are bogus..a LOT are ppl like me who follow him just to troll. His tweets are followed by many anti trump comments with a pro trump comment by someone with 4 followers and 10 tweets thrown in for good measure.

5. just this week they reported some 15 million fake followers on his account

4. His worshippers have tasted the kool-aid, and found it delicious.
