Mike's Blog Round Up
Happy Tuesday!
October 24, 2017

Putin's President (hey, there's another nickname for him) is doing a lot of horrible things, both at home and abroad, but I don't think it's a distraction for everyone to be reminded that he's a pathetic excuse for a human being. (Actually, that's putting it nicely.)

I mean, you have to be quite the (barely) human turd, with no capacity for even basic human emotions, to make the pregnant widow of a killed-in-action U.S. military serviceman feel "very upset and hurt." And then to double down and basically call her a liar?

It's another deplorable pity party pushed by a malignant narcissist.

But of course it's those athletes kneeling during the anthem who are disrespecting the military, the flag, and whatever other objects of American military fetishism you hypocritically worship, right, MAGA morons?

Huh, I wonder what the common denominator is here. (Hint: Ta-Nehisi Coates is right.)

This is not a distraction.

Round-up by Michael J.W. Stickings of The Reaction. (Twitter: @mjwstickings.) I'll be here all week.

Send requests and suggestions to mbru@crooksandliars.com (with "For MBRU" in the subject line).
