A typical bike-riding leftist urbanite who also happens to be a hockey-crazy Western Canadian.
I kinda feel bad for the kid. I would absolutely hate if someone tried to use me as an excuse to get out of a huge mess of their own making. Sure, it sucks to not have your family there, but it’s not by the judge being “evil”. Trump engaged in criminal behaviour and that’s fully on him.
This might even be a good thing, now Barron can do one thing in his life without having his unscrupulous father show up and cause a disturbance.

I know we’ve been over this before, but “unskilled” jobs are necessary, Mike. The people who do them deserve to live too, my guy. The poverty wages aren’t the only thing motivating people to avoid those jobs, and that should be firsthand knowledge for you, pal.
And it’s not like it takes a lot of skill to look down your nose at people for 10 seasons of television. With all due respect, kindly fuck off.
What this story reveals is the stunning level of ignorance amongst Americans at large. This is a bona fide fascist manifesto, published by the handlers of the current leading presidential candidate, over a year ago. Nothing rattles me to my core quite like being confronted by the harsh reality that a lot of people out there are just going about their lives like everything is fine.
These are the people we need to organize with in order to ― at this point ― basically survive, so I’m very glad something was able to spur them into some level of action before election day.
