X-Mas In The Time Of Trump

Do they know it's Christmas?
 Jacey Fortin / New York Times:
Parents Killed After Warning Daughter About Boyfriend's Racist Views, Family Says  —  A husband and wife were shot dead in their Virginia home three days before Christmas by a 17-year-old boy they had warned their daughter not to date because of his racist views, according to officials and news accounts.
The rich are different from you or me.
A feel-good story of one of the GOP tax cut's top beneficiaries, Dalton DeVos, nephew of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, son of Amway President Doug DeVos and grandson of Amway co-founder Richard DeVos. Sailing is a tradition in the DeVos family and Dalton has just returned from a two-year trip circumnavigating the globe on the 38-foot schooner Elizabeth along with a small crew. From Michigan Live: “He was still a student at Grand Valley State University when he approached his parents about the idea in 2013. The following year he bought the boat and hired a captain. Nine months after graduating with business and marketing degree in December 2014, he began the journey.”
Just imagine what a fucking cretin young Dalton is. All the family money in the world & he attended Grand Valley State University?

And how is this in any way criminal? First Fucking Amendment, assholes!
