Trump’s tweet is notable in at least three respects. First, the contrast Trump drew between “a very happy young girl” and Thunberg’s demeanor during her speech. In it, she noted world leaders have “stolen my dreams, my childhood, with your empty word” noted that “we are in the beginning of a mass extinction;” and asked, “How dare you pretend that this can be solved with just business as usual and some technical solutions?” Trump’s comment is meant to undermine the very thing that makes Thunberg an effective activist: the impassioned moral clarity with which she speaks about climate change....As mean-spirited as Trump’s tweet seems, it wasn’t the ugliest response that the American right had to Thunberg’s speech. On Fox News, the Daily Wire pundit Michael Knowles demeaned Thunberg, who has Asperger’s syndrome, as a “mentally ill Swedish child.” Knowles’s commentary prompted Fox News to issue an unusual statement rebuking him and apologizing to Thunberg.
every time i think i've blown my last fuse or had the last of nerves razed to a numbing calm, this cancel-proof meat dumpster of wet crime scene tape and necrotic radioactive boar cocks gets me seeing a brand new shade of Indonesian haze red.
the only thing keeping me from killing myself is the thought of HepaTitan choking to death on his 2am murder-burger.
