Is that not normal behavior for an 18 YO who is taking the next step in his life ?

Is this normal behavior for a Fox Political Pundit ?

I guess we now know who American Corporates believe was in the wrong:

'March For Our Lives' Now Operating Under Dark Money Nonprofit Advocacy Group[/url]
Ohhhhhh......"Dark Money" - you mean the money that has financed the GOP for decades????

I am fully satisfied that citizens united and other RIGHT WING efforts have made Dark Money fully legal. No longer do orgs need to disclose their donors. Thousands of astro-turf groups can spring up (remember the Tea Party) which have large paid staffs..and deny climate change or take over government.

Republicans being the hypocrites that they are, watch as they start complaining about "Dark Money" the instant they are outspent. It was GREAT for them when they thought most of the money was headed their way - but, all of a sudden, they now think it is bad, bad bad.

I wonder why?

https://www.npr.org/2016/01/19/46355...litical-agenda

"Steve Inskeep talks to author Jane Mayer about her new book Dark Money: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right."

"in more recent years the Kochs have put together something that's called Freedom Partners. You can't see who belongs to it. But it has a wing that gives directly to candidates. They've given tens of millions of dollars over the years to campaigns. And what they've said is, in the coming 2016 election cycle, of the $889 million that they hope their group will raise, they hope to spend about $300 million of that directly on elections."

Ha Ha, you guys are funny...Do as you say, not as you Do, right? Right.

She is no different than any other of the Far right 'christian' Isis members. They highjacked Christianity just like Isis highjacked Islam.

Gosh what would Jesus do? He's be with the down trodden, feeding the homeless, comforting the sick. Not listening to Faux news and fighting for gun rights. Demanding you keep you AR15's? I think not.

You 'Christans' are a bunch of phonies. How do you sleep at night? Next to your metal locked and loaded pacifier?

We do have a mental health problem in this country. If you can't stand the thought of not having acccess to a gun, you need mental health.

The gun rights activists downright disgust me with the tweets against David Hoggs and Emma Gonzalez. It is disgusting not just that they attack young people but rather the how they attack them. Ingraham attacked Hoggs over being rejected by colleges meanwhile we have a lot of kids going into college. Emma was attacked for wearing a "military jacket" with the Cuban flag on it, despite the fact she is Cuban.

I'm not surprised if they financed both sides, you know the old saying divide to conquer.

As soon as I heard him whining about the rejection from his choice schools I thought to myself "be careful kid lest anyone think you are doing this solely because you think it will look good on your record".

I'm not saying that that is what he is doing but any person with half a brain should now be questioning his motivations.

No. They don't whine about how colleges should accept them despite their subpar academic credentials because they're supposedly "changing the world."

If you are going to jump right into the public sphere with both feet, and not expect any ridicule, just shows the immaturity level of the one making the big leap.

Grow some balls, before leaping into the cesspool, with lies and deception.

My particular beef with Emma Gonzales is that she glorified a country that actively executed LGBTs by wearing the Cuban Flag on her "military" jacket in the public spotlight at the "march."

NO ONE should be executed just because of who they are. It's absolutely sick beyond belief to endorse a belief otherwise.

I am not going to bother reading this entire thread, a quick scan was enough punishment, other than to state that's once again we have so-called adults acting like juveniles..no not juveniles - that is to generous - more like delinquents and bullies.

Adults beating up a teenager, how low can you go.

To these "adults" I say grow the hell up.
