So I doubt that he knows what this guy even looks like. Perhaps Kimye should tell Fat Ass that he’s one of the people detained by HS at the southern border.

Yes. Hostage crisis. The hostages are the American people. And the crisis started on 1/20/17.

To Trump, the only hostage is his own sense of supremacy. I’d hate to be the one who has to negotiate for that.

I hear Prime Minister Stefan Löfven runs the most garbage strewn, rat infested nation on earth. No one wants to live there anymore.

I wonder if this will make Donald “We should have more people from places like Norway” Trump rethink his immigration policy.

I wonder if O’brien is the same guy he sent to NK to help with Otto Warmbier.

Your use of the word ‘rethink’ assumes facts not in evidence.

To be fair, if it was Barry Manilow and he had cold cocked some guy in a Stockholm bar, he’d have been on a plane home two weeks ago.

I watched the video – none of the claims being made by ASAP rocky’s people hold up. Its pretty clear that Rocky’s bodyguard started pushing a couple of young Arab looking kids away, and it sounds like the bodyguard snatched one of the kid’s headphones from his neck (and were not thrown by the kid at the bodyguard).

What is 100% unquestionable is that ASAP Rocky threw a smaller young man to the ground, and he and his entourage started brutally beating and kicking the kid.
