Wed May 31, 2017, 07:09 PM
May 2017

Kathy Griffin got fired from CNN for taking it. If it was that objectionable of a pic - what TV program would even show it. I know that they can talk about it - but I would think for decency standards they would stop short of showing it on TV.

Was it shown on TV? If so - fine the show or the network that showed the pic.

He's supposedly on the internet, as has been reported, so I'm sure he's seen plenty and has plenty of violent enough games that he's not shocked. What she said is not believable.

Plus, like another poster said, he's surely heard about the pussy grabbing -- same with Melania, so they are just fine with rude and crude.

How damn damaged and horrified Sasha and Maila Obama were when they saw that $50,000 coat-wearing, birthing HUSSY Melania back in 2011 say that their father's birth certificate was not real like hers was. Also, seeing her putin-loving, treasonous, mentally-declining husband disparage and go all birther on their father.

I guess it was FINE for those 2 non-white Obama girls to see their father called non-American and questioned about his patriotism and dedicated to this country.

I call complete BS on both those birthing asses. Imagine her, questioning the mental sanity of Kathy Griffin when she's living with a pathological, treasonous, pussy-grabbing, crazy man.

Why are they bringing their Sasha and Malia into this mess? It is opening the door for awful journalists to now question Barron's honesty.

How many times did the Obama's bring their daughters into news stories? Did they say that's they were frightened when Nugent threatened to assassinate their father? Or did they say they were upset every time Michelle was called a gorilla by a GOP politician?

His father is the President of the US. If his father had been beheaded, does he think he would be learning about it from the internet instead of being completely surrounded and informed by the Secret Service and his mother?

In order to swallow this bullshit you'd have to believe that the White House was unaware that the pic was in widespread circulation and/or that they failed to shield Little Lord Fauntleroy by notifying Trump Tower of its existence.

I've seen that kid at Doral several times. He doesn't seem capable of any emotion except tantrums when he doesn't get his own way.

Trump would take him out onto the golf course in a cart during the tournament. It was always a snarled expression like he'd prefer to be anywhere else. There were frequent jokes about it from gallery members.
