(2,581 posts)1. This one made me cry.
As someone who was bullied as a child, I feel so much compassion for any being, human or animal, that has experienced any form of bullying. I am so happy that wonderful woman and her family took Manny in so he could live a bully-free life of love. Everybody deserves that.
One of the (many) reasons I dislike DJT so much is that I know a goddamn bully when I see one.

I took special delight in tormenting the bullies in every school I attended - I would call them out very publicly........I was very good at it. Certainly my activities were way more easy to accomplish as an outsider. And I too have always recognized the bully in DJT, he makes me sick.
