And so they got over their skepticism of Trump’s vulgarity, and cherry-picked among his inconsistencies

Your old man is probably aware of what would've happened to him if he were found to be in possession of satellite intelligence at his house in rural Virginia. Just a thought!

“So he confuses their silence for an embarrassed acquiescence. But far more likely, they are simply tired of his politics and are not interested in his opinions. “

Very good post. Thanks.

Little hipster puke. The jacket screams 1983. The glasses scream 1953. If this thing and his domestic partner were showing up to Thanksgiving dinner, I know I’d be showing up late and leaving early.

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.


Yes agree, sad.

Why are you so worried about how your parents voted? How about not crossing that boundary and letting their business be their business. Your crusty skank won Virginia, how about calling that good? I’ve never understood libs that have to scream their views to the world and talk to everybody about how they voted. It really shows insecurity and I’m sure he talks about it to his shrink weekly.

It must be horrible to be the parent of a gay son.

Don’t knock wearing classic clothing outright - many conservatives do so for entirely different reasons.

I wear wing tips, proudly.

Ironic that his parents are way more tolerant than he and his “boyfriend” are.

You were apparently never a Christ follower so you followed something else. Sounds like you had every opportunity to know the truth and rejected it. I will pray for you as I imagine your parents do daily. Not many of us who
vorted for Trump thought he was the very best, just better than. I am proud of my vote and stand by it...more everyday as I see grown men crying and throwing hissy fits. Hillary would never have gotten my vote, not ever.

Holy effing S%!t.

Are you effing kidding me? What an effing stupid jerk of an effing jack ass.

Could it be effing possible for this terrible writer to be any more self absorbed?

Because his Dad accepts his gayness he should vote for a criminal who takes money from and rubs shoulders with muzlim countries that throw gay folks off buildings??

And he effing couldn’t be any more effing blatant that he thinks his mom from poor Appalachia is an ignorant hick.

I could scream after reading this. My patience level has reached zero.

Just the smarmy look on this douche bags face in the picture makes me want to slug him.

I am so sorry for his parents. I’ll be their daughter if they’d like.

This whole story made me want to puke! Mom and Dad made several major mistakes and have to be wondering “What did we do to deserve this mess?”

I thank God that I don’t have to make excuses for the way I raised my kids.

I bet his dad sits up at night at times looks in a mirror and says “Why God why me. What did I do to deserve this”

"Both he and his brother are gay? What are the odds of that?"

Odds are tiny by the numbers alone (0.02 x 0.02 = 0.0004 or 1 in 2500) but if both boys were molested by homosexuals when they were young the odds go up dramatically.

I think he should have a “conversation” with Milo.
