Hey, You'll Love This, Minority Person!

A lot of the time, how an incident or statement comes to be offensive to a group on social media can be difficult for those outside the group to parse. And it's a truism that the greater one's distance from identification with an offended group, the less sympathy one is likely to have. In the case of Dump, however, it's a safe bet that any offense taken to, say, his existence, or any aspect thereof, by any human being, animal, plant, fungus or crystalline structure, is one-hundred-percent legitimate, and we should all just agree in advance, right now, to be sympathetically nauseated.

In a Moment of Truth, Jeff Dorchen watches President Trump's improv act bomb with a group of Navajo Code Talkers, gives Trump the benefit of the doubt just long enough to reconsider it, and get back to insulting the president and his large, dull son.
