    I'm not skeptical a kid wrote the letter. I'm skeptical as to why anybody besides his mommy and daddy should give a fuck that he did.

    The kid cited no issues of any interest to anybody. Essentially the letter says, "oh Trumpy, you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind."

    Big deal. Who gives a fuck?

    And as far as the bull cow Huckabee being reduced to tears by this touching missive ... Jesus Fucking Christ. Grow up.

    Charlie Gard's parents ended their fight to find alternative care for their son, and are now preparing for him to pass.

    But, even here, they've been stymied. A court has ruled that they can't even decide on his end-of-life care. Rather than allowing him to come home, Charlie will be moved to hospice care.

    Critically ill baby Charlie Gard will be transferred to a hospice and taken off life support unless his parents and a hospital agree on a plan that could potentially keep the child alive for a bit longer, a British judge ruled Wednesday.

    High Court judge Nicholas Francis gave 11-month-old Charlie's parents and the hospital that has been treating him until noon Thursday to come to terms on an end-of-life care plan for the infant's final hours or days.

    The baby suffers from a rare genetic disease, mitochondrial depletion syndrome, which has caused brain damage and left him unable to breathe unaided. Recent tests found Charlie has irreversible muscular damage.

    "It is in Charlie's best interests to be moved to a hospice and for him at that point to be moved to a palliative care regime only," the judge said as a medical and legal battle that has drawn international attention nears a wrenching conclusion.

    The parents, Connie Yates and Chris Gard, spent months trying to persuade Great Ormond Street Hospital to let Charlie go to the United States for experimental treatment. They gave up their fight on Monday, acknowledging that the window of opportunity to help him had closed.

    On Tuesday, they said they hoped to bring their son, whose 1st birthday is next week, home to die. Francis said Charlie's mother and father now accept that the only options for their son "are the hospital or the hospice."

    Toward. No s - I know you're not a journalist but please try, at least.

    And I'm very glad you have my posting history committed to memory.

    That would have been the appropriate response the first time around, but you chose to go with your latest version of "It's all the left's fault!" That list was so bad I didn't even finish it, which is rare. Unlike you, I normally read things closely before I respond.

    I was just about to ask how long it took YF to go through your entire posting history. Rumor has it you've been here awhile.

    I'm just a blustery mo-fo. Don't like being lectured to by a guy who thinks he runs the joint.
    You, I'm OK with you even if we don't agree. You don't act like you rule the world.

    Now enough of this, everyone move on and thanks.

    But I thought SuperTrump was going to fix everything!

    Why doesn't SuperTrump just write a check and, you know, fix everything?

    Yeah, like Trump making Bill and Hill the issue in 2020 will be such a winning one.
