I’ve abstained from retweeting Bill Kristol, no matter how reasonable the tweet may sound (and he’s been doing that a lot lately). It took a fair amount of gumption to not retweet this.

Do you think the three UCLA Basketball Players will say thank you President Trump? They were headed for 10 years in jail!

How pathetically insecure and endlessly needy do you have to be to tweet this as president of the U.S.? What a childhood he must have had! https://t.co/y6H0eHbSkB
