times worst. We all remember the target crosses Sarah Palin posted on Obama photos and other Democrats, and everyday republicans insult Democrats, Patel insulted Adam Schiff during the congressional hearing, and other people too when he did not like the questions or the facts, he was playing trump's playbook, one he does when he has no answers.

No, this is unacceptable, and yes, we all should boycott Disney and all the networks that allow these thugs to threaten them, and to accept the treats.

These people are not governing, they spend the entire day creating chaos, protecting trump's ego, it has to stop, it gets worst every day.
