Jesus christ, you dorks.

Good faith for Scott Pruitt? LOL. Frankly, I don’t care about Scott Pruitt as a person when he occupies the position he occupies. Some things are more important than being nice. You dork!

Yeah. I’m over this ineffectual “civility” shit. Fuck these people. Let them know we’re not gonna let them live their lives like they’re not scum.

I don't know. I don't condemn these protesters, but there are going to be consequences to this behavior that the protesters won't be paying.

Wring your hands some more why don’t you

If I’m going to expend 30 solid minutes of life worrying over the pain or fear of a group of others, “officials in the administration that is causing nearly all of the pain and fear” probably don’t make the cut.

When I don’t have active anxiety about children separated from their parents, I will have all manner of additional time to fret about the ability of a corrupt official to peacefully eat lunch.

I'm allowed to be conflicted about a complex topic.

This isn’t complex!

The moral righteousness which would convince someone to break the social norms around shouting at someone they don't know in a restaurant because of their job doesn't seem that different to that which would also drive them to physically hurt them, it's just a matter of degree of exactly how nuts they are.
