Sexton is receiving death threats but lets all concern ourselves with a man who posted disgusting comments on Redditt

I take your point, but now the Presidentâs son has created an imaginary 15 year-old martyr and CNN can only disprove that creation by going back on their word to not publish John Doeâs name.
Have to disagree on that. The guy may be an ass, but he didnât commit any crimes. Really doesnât seem fair to âoutâ him, especially given his steps to correct things and save himself being embarrassed with family, friends and colleagues.
Thatâs why I think that CNNâs choice, although poorly worded, is a reasonable one, particularly if thereâs nothing noteworthy about the guy (i.e. not a politician or other public figure). If they guy chose to continue making news, then it could become a matter of potential newsworthiness, as by having his memes become a major story, he would then be losing his general expectation of privacy by choosing to become a celebrity of sorts.

well Junior has struck me to be a needy boyâŚ
Agreed, though it would be interesting if a CNN editor had accounted for all of this, but they probably didnât.
Way to focus on the businesses, Don Jr.

Someone responded to Trumpâs wrestling match with CNN on YouTube, and itâs well worth 3 minutes of your time if you havenât yet seen it:
Note: A small amount of strong language

No, I donât think they thought it all the way through either. And now that theyâre in this dilemma, where they get it both coming and going, I worry that the lesson theyâll take away is to stay away from this story completely. And I think we all agree that itâs important for America to know why Steve Scavino and others have spent the last year or more cultivating an army of racist propaganda trolls.
Itâs easy to second-guess, so I donât want to be too critical of CNN. It just seems like, if youâre gonna do it, do it.

I guess there is a genetic basis for stupidity after all.

It could be very informative if TPM interviewed âHanAssholeSoloâ to find out how long he was trolling, why he did it and what he got out of it. And hadnât he ever considered the harm that racist memes that he was creating and passing on might be doing, even as he himself did not agree with them?

You almost have to admire the sheer chutzpah required to turn a middle-aged poster of antisemitic filth whoâs already recanted and apologized into a 15-year-old dewy martyr for the cause.

I miss the days when presidential offspring were fairly normal people. Tricia and Julie Nixon. The Ford kids. Amy Carter and her brothers. Patti Reagan and Ron Jr. Chelsea Clinton. Sasha and Malia.

Sasha and Malia.
I saw an post about a certain subset of people on the internet making comments under an article regarding Malia Obamaâs birthday. Mind you this is a kid that I cannot recall saying even two words during Pres. Obamaâs entire presidency - and certainly nothing political. But the commentsâŚOMGâŚso vile and nasty. And yes, racist (referencing ape in heels, eating bananas, hood rat, etc). It nearly broke my heart that they would attack her like that, in that manner
Anonymity on the internet breeds this shit. And Iâm sure a lot of these same commentators would insist âthatâs not who they areâ.
Guess this would be a good time for Melania to roll out her cyberbullying campaign

If only @CNN spent as much time tracking down info on IRS targeting, Fast & Furious, Iran deal etc as they did a meme writer!
Always good to hear from Butthead. Hey, Butthead, you should have added fake moon landings, bigfoot, and spoon bending to you list.

Junior still hasnât met a neo-nazi he doesnât like. Its like heâs compelled to link to them or make some comment in defense of these people. Regardless of whether the guy now says heâs not that wayâŚhe is. Anyone that posts that shit has some deep hateful shit going onâŚso no sympathy from me that heâs now saying heâs not really like that. The bigger question is when and why did Jr. and that other clod of a son learn to love fascism so much? I think we know the answer to that. Thatâs something that takes some learninâ and some support along the way.
Just to add, Mike Flynnâs son had the same love affair with this neo-fascist authoritarianism on the right. Flynn and tRump had more in common than we want to admit. They both raised their sons to be little Hitler-loving assholes.

Whatâs really creepy is the way Donald Trump Jr. canât seem to control his morbid obsession with Nazism and the Holocaust. Remember his radio comment about âwarming up the gas chamberâ during the campaign? Heâs a twisted little bastard.

Lesson learned.
Trump, his family, and his army of money-grubbing lawyers are watching everything everyone does.
I guess the conservative era of âsmall governmentâ is over.
