1. Where does it stop? This is beyond the pale!

The widow is on the way to meet her husband's returning body with her friends, her support group, when she receives the call from the President of the United States! She wants her support group to share in this moment, her choice, a natural choice.

They lied outright to try and cover up an in-artful call by an un-empathetic President. A General, who more than anyone should know what this woman is going through, uses his son's death to help smear and lie against another Gold Star family, he has no shame either.

Two minority Gold Star families attacked by this President and administration in a year. And they are the ones attacking black NFL players for being un-patriotic and dis-respecting the troops, LE, and the flag, when that is a smoke screen for covering up a problem with un-armed black men being shot by law enforcement and receiving un-equal treatment by our criminal justice system!

Republicans should be shouted down every time they attack a Democrat with their hypocrisy!

3. The empty barrel making noise is John Kelly

Alternative facts are lies. He lied. He lied to all of us and shamefully he has not admitted he lied-even now that there is the videotaped proof.

In her speech at the dedication ceremony for the FBI building the Democratic Rep. Wilson not only praised others for expediting the naming of the new building for the FBI agents who had been killed.

Wilson specifically credited the Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner and the Republican Senator Marco Rubio. She was describing a bipartisan effort in congress without ever saying "bipartisan" or "republican" or "democrat."

Wilson then praised those who risked their lives in law enforcement,insisted that all members of law enforcement who were present stand to be recognized and applauded, and she forcefully said that we are so proud of you.

Possibly this is what stunned an angered John Kelly. Wilson's praising of the Republican speaker and senator, and her recognition and praise of individuals in law enforcement risking their lives. Her statements seemed heartfelt and were unequivocal.

Representative Frederica Wilson was embodying American unity. She showed pride in Congress as a unified body and pride in individual service of those in law enforcement. It came naturally to her.

I think it was the unifying spirit of her statement that stunned and angered John Kelly.

4. GOPs specialize in divisive politics. Bush's winning formula was: "Hate the Homos in 2004"

I am referring to the literature in WV or KY about banning the Bible while cute boys hold hands.
Your subject line and thesis are so comprehensive and illuminating.
