The best parts of this guy ran down his old man’s leg.

Another little lib hipster that thinks anybody gives a fat crap about his little essay on election day trials & tribulations.

[Gamecock]

This drivel is what pissed off 150 million people and drove them to Trump.

[BradyLS]

I love it when people turn Presidential elections into referendums on their own lives as well. "Strangers and even some family and supposed 'friends' voted for Trump! They're trying to invalidate me as a [whatever] human being!"

If it really isn't about them, they'll fantasize until they convince themselves that it really is.

[IVAXMAN]

Pantywaist gay boy, but mom and dad still love him, but bet they don’t approve of his lifestyle.

Boy being ashamed of his parents is disgusting, the parents are the ones who should be ashamed, and probably are, but they put up with him because of their unconditional love a parent has for their children. That boy is lost.

[ZULU]

If that creature on the right is the author of the piece. My sympathies are with “Kendall”, unless he is gay.

[fwdude]

He looks a bit old to still be a homosexual mommy’s boy.

Homosexuals are notoriously emotionally arrested, so this is no surprise.

[simpson96]

Saying "Get over yourself" to this waste of flesh wouldn't even scratch the surface.

His apoplexy pleases me.

[NorthMountain]

There is a recurring fantasy among the so-called cosmopolitan elites, perhaps especially urgently felt among those of us who moved to New York from somewhere else that felt too constricted to accommodate us or who we could be

I bet he's a sodomite.

[CincyRichieRich]

Give your kids attention, love, Jesus, and DON’T fall for sending them to a debt-causing school far from home. They have a better Chan e to not be home stupid.
For goodness sakes, often use the words, i love you and you have what it takes.

[NorthMountain]

But as I sat in my East Village bedroom while my boyfriend, Kendall

Hah!

[Jeff Chandler]

I’m pretty sure whatever was said could have been said with fewer words.

you'll never read a more self-absorbed screed of delusional navel gazing.

[BradyLS]

I just want to say this to all the special snowflake journalists out there: no one gives a rat’s ass about your special election day saga!

LOL! Yes, you said first and better!

[rockrr]

Excellent post. All the way through the article and all the way though the comments I kept coming back to one thing - this degenerate was looking down his nose at two normal, honorable people. People who did nothing to earn his scorn.

I viewed the picture of his parents and actually felt badly for them.

[mykroar]

who only needed to be shown the error of their thinking.

F off, poofta.

[fwdude]

If only you had called them racist homophobes a few more times they might have gone for Hillary.

No kidding. I guess the "How to win friend and influence people" course didn't sink in very far with this idiot.

[Commander X]

What a turd....

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

No joke, I've sure seen that among extended family. I've actually had this conversation with a cousin:

Them: "Why are mom & dad so distant around the holidays?"

Me: "Maybe it's because you show up to Thanksgiving halfway through dinner, you stay just long enough to eat, and you're dashing out the door before anybody has even gotten up. Then you always promise to come visit on Christmas, then you call them on Dec. 26th full of excuses as to why you couldn't make the 40 mile drive."

[wgmalabama]

We really do need two countries. One for enlightened, smug, bug chasing faggots and one for Americans. Maybe it’s one country and multiple city states/countries. I don’t know the answer but they want to rule over us dumb hicks and I will violently resist being ruled.

[Montana_Sam]

Carl Swanson - still clueless. Sad.
