Cheeto von Tweeto (btw, thank you for that, Divinity!
) is a living representative of what this country is pretty much like, in red states. I guess expecting people to grow up anytime soon is beyond hope. Then again, the ME has been in the hate and kill mode for millennia. One of my sons (an atheist) has an xtian friend who lives in Jerusalem. If he wanders into the wrong neighborhood with that thing with jesus on the cross on a chain visible, he can be killed.

If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
