1. I'm trying not to cry reading that...

It's f'cking infuriating that Don Jr. is comparing this little boy to poisonous candy.

2. I'm with you.

Wow! Out of the mouths of babes.

3. We would help Omran and his family in a second if we could

We live in a very cruel world, and something hurts me every time i see that poor boy

4. Pass the Kleenex, I've got something in my eye.

A lot of Kleenex, please. That was just heart-rending. And the Trumps have proved again that they are sociopaths.

5. Can't get through this without tears.

What an exceptional little boy Alex is. Yes, we can learn a lot from him.

6. Why don't we spend the entire "Defense" budget on just that?

Rather than wasting trillions on bombs and guns, distribute those monies to the people that would otherwise be injured, maimed, killed and give them education, a decent means of earning their living and a break from the fear.

How bad it could it possibly be?

Of course the MIC will all have to find productive jobs rather than their reign of death and destruction, but that can't be all bad, can it?
