        Bah! Your puny criticism bounces off the #NYTimes impenetrable tower of self-regard like bullets off Superman. The Times is the epitome of journalism, beyond criticism or need for introspection because you cannot improve upon it. You are just mad at it for being so fair.

        Kidnapping, plus negligently losing track of them. I cuss sometimes over the endless outrages and criminal stupidity, so I must also be a monster.

        But Deniro's "Fuck Trump" will backfire. It does not help. Deniro can help a great deal in the voter registration drives, motivation young people to vote, etc. When he just curses the POTUS he energizes his base only more.

        Ah, horseshit. Young people get motivated by people who talk the way they do, and they use that word. A LOT.
