Interesting note on this AP article - the article headline this morning was pretty different. I initially thought it was two different articles, but the link in the tweet directs to the AP article mentioned Matt’s post.
Today has been a fucking freak show. No offense to the freaks.

The Hill pointed out something that I know I overlooked…and it’s pretty epic.
“I said to my daughter, ‘Can you teach me to tweet, so I can tweet at the president and tell him he’s a liar?’ "

I can’t for the life of me figure out why the President would offer the father of a soldier a sum of money like that. Rumor seems to indicate that it’s a gesture of MRA bullshit, but it’s just so bizarre. And the image of the guy opening his condolence letter for his son and going “aww, no check…” My brain just rejects that reality.
