6. Probably a lesson to our military too!

There are a good number of military leaders who think like Donald Trump. No doubt, they are excited because Trump will make their combat wet dreams come true. (Regardless of the cost.)

11. Such empty platitudes by this kabal of idiots and psychopaths....

I want to throw something at the TV when I hear spicer or conway say how touched and saddened they are by the loss of life, etc. Such empty rhetoric. It means NOTHING, and it doesn't even SOUND sincere in the slightest. It just they have to push the words out of the pie hole to inoculate them from any responsibility.

Such a dark and evil bunch of low life mf'ers.
