You Cretins Are Going To Get Thousands Of People Killed

Here’s what you have to understand about the sort of people who become anchors, nonpartisan pundits, centrist columnists, and cable news political correspondents: They didn’t sign up to be the resistance. They don’t want Donald Trump to fail. They want him to “pivot” and “act presidential.”

Prosecutor Patrick Haggan told the jury earlier that Hernandez had a brief encounter with the men involving ”a simple bump, a spilled drink and an exchange of looks” at a Boston nightclub in the early morning hours of July 16, 2012.
