Because most civilized people view you as a lowlife asshole. You really have ZERO class when I slap your ignorant freeloader ass back into place with facts and logic, don't you? What a pathetic little dumb freak you are and you enjoy broadcasting it all day long. You are such an embarrassment.

Whatever Trumpers are ingesting is nothing compared to liberal hate and hypocrisy. Man charged with threatening to kill Ajit Pai’s family By MARGARET HARDING MCGILL 06/29/2018 05:20 PM EDT A California man is charged with threatening to kill FCC Chairman Ajit Pai's children because he was "angry" about the repeal of net neutrality regulations, the Justice Department said today. Markara Man, 33, of Norwalk was arrested in Los Angeles and charged with threatening to murder an immediate family member of a U.S. official. Prosecutors say Man sent three emails to Pai in December 2017, the month the Republican-led FCC voted to repeal the Obama-era net neutrality rules. One of the emails, sent Dec. 20, to Pai's government and personal accounts had the subject line "Cheers." The body of the email listed the names and addresses of three preschools in and around Arlington, Va., where Pai lives, followed by, "I will find your children and I will kill them," according to the affidavit against Man. The FBI traced the email's to Man's home and confronted him in May 2018. Man acknowledged sending the email that threatened Pai's family, and said he used the address "STUBBLEMANLINESS@GMAIL.COM" to hide who he was and because he thought the handle sounded "tougher," the affidavit said. Man told the FBI he was "angry" about the repeal, saying, "They pretty much ignored, like, 80 percent of comments ... they ignored 'us,' and just didn't care," according to the affidavit. Man gave law enforcement an apology letter to Pai that said, "I'm sorry I made a threat against your kids. That was crossing the line. I hope you'll change your mind ... but I doubt it."

You going to apologize too? === Reuters Global Editor Apologizes Over Deleted Tweet Blaming Trump For Capital Gazette Shooting by Tyler Durden Fri, 06/29/2018 - 17:30 ?Reuters Global editor Rob Cox has issued a four-part apology for a now-deleted tweet blaming Donald Trump for Thursday's Annapolis newsroom shooting which left five dead and two wounded. [url=][/url] Cox tweeted "This is what happens when @realDonaldTrump calls journalists the enemy of the people. Blood is on your hands, Mr. President. Save your thoughts and prayers for your empty soul." [url=][/url] Once it became clear that Ramos' *long-standing feud with The Gazette* was the motive, Cox deleted his tweet and apologized. When I saw the news today that a mass shooter had targeted the employees of a newspaper in Maryland I responded emotionally and inappropriately*. Though my comments were entirely personal, they were not in keeping with the Reuters Trust Principles and my own standards for letting facts, not snap judgments, guide my understanding. My experience as a member of the community of Newtown, Connecticut in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook tragedy, combined with the possibility that my colleagues in the press were being targeted, pushed me into a state of emotional distress. I am sorry for my comments, which I quickly deleted and have disavowed, and especially remorseful if they did anything to distract from the thoughts and love we must send to the community of Annapolis. As Fox News* notes, Reuters touts itself as the "world's largest international multimedia news provider," reaching over one billion people on a daily basis. Editor-in-chief Steve Adler issued a statement which reads in part: "Mr. Cox’s actions were inconsistent with the Thomson Reuters Trust Principles requiring journalists to maintain freedom from bias. We do not condone his behavior and will take appropriate action.” Still, questions are being raised : Think about the implications of @Reuters Global Editor stating as fact that the President has “blood on his hands” • How does his view of the President affect daily coverage there? • How does this help with public distrust of a biased media? • How is this fair coverage? pic.twitter.com/rUnPmK7T8a — Robby Starbuck (@robbystarbuck) June 29, 2018 It wasn't just Cox...

(@JackPosobiec) June 29, 2018 And as The Federalist's Mollie Hemmingway notes: "Various journalists and other members of the resistance began tweeting that President Donald Trump had “blood on his hands” since he has harshly and regularly condemned “fake news” and its purveyors. Here are some more "blue checks" of Journalism weighing in via The Federalist. [url=][/url] Seems like they'd have fit right in working for Comey's FBI. Who knows, maybe some of them were!
