I guess I want people to hurt. Maybe enough hurt and something will be done.

I think somehow in their mind, that must block the emotions of how far the drain this country has gone.

been the person to cure cancer. She might see an asteroid headed towards earth. She might have found the cure of autism. She might have been discovered an alternative to burning fossil fuels.

We will now never know before a bunch of idiots are scared of a person who could have made a difference, and it's too late to ever know. I hate these silly evil people.

For Trump to have the audacity to try and paint this horror as being the result of the Democratic Party takes a tragedy and turns it into something much uglier and evil.

There was and will only ever be one Adolph Hitler, but there has always been an ample supply of evil men who attain power. Donald J. Trump wishes to go down in history and he does not care why, only that he is...

That same man - devoid of morals, lacking anything resembling empathy or understanding, and suffering from raging narcissistic behaviors - holds the nuclear launch codes and threatens other nations with "Fire and Fury" and "Obliteration".

On three counts:
1) The little girl wasn’t aborted;
2) Father and daughter were brown;
3) They were “invading” the U.S.

Anyone who perceives this heartbreaking story as anything less than a tragedy brought about by the xenophobic inhumanity of the Trump fascist regime— isn’t fit to even breathe American air.

These editorial policies are stupid.
She’s dead, tragically, permanently dead. There’s no point to hiding her eyes to protect her privacy.

Like the little girl with the red shoes on the cover of Time, this will be long forgotten by the election.

Americans can have a very short attention span.

I weep for this family and our country. I no longer recognize it.
