    I don't like President Trump. I don't like President Trumps children either for that matter. Yet I don't think they should be attacked.

    So active legal and societal discrimination against minorities, especially gays, severe restrictions on equality for women in the workplace, and spousal rape legal in 48 states.

    But they're Republicans (today) so you'll support them.

    Why do I say that? Because you certainly didn't feel that way bout the previous President or his family

    I agree, NO times were ever perfect.



    No, I naturally use facts not rose colored myopic glasses....

    I don't know how many or why the number would mean anything but:

    """A 1955 lynching that sparked public outrage about injustice was that of Emmett Till, a 14-year-old boy from Chicago. Spending the summer with relatives in Money, Mississippi, Till was killed for allegedly having wolf-whistled at a white woman. Till had been badly beaten and shot before being thrown into the Tallahatchie River. His mother insisted on a public funeral with an open casket, to show people how badly Till's body had been disfigured. News photographs circulated around the country, and drew intense public reaction. People in the nation were horrified that a boy could have been killed for such an incident. The state of Mississippi tried two defendants, but they were speedily acquitted. """"

    Wow...you illustrate beautifully why nepotism is a bad thing for democracy. I don’t like them meddling in our democracy. Why should somebody who is a top adviser to the president of the United States be exempt from criticism . Why should they be treated any differenty? I will attack Jared Kushner for making deals in the White House. His children should be his children not his advisers
    Why don’t you like Trump’s children?

    If his family makes themselves part of the administration they are fair game...

    Trump is the King of personal attacks or did you turn a blind eye?

    Forgive me for laughing at the hypocrisy. You have a president who tweets the most childish attacks on people, absolutely despicable

    No, it isn't morals that offend the left, it's the god-substitutes who think THEY should determine what everyone else's morals should be.


    And if this country represents "morals" we should all really be embarrassed and ashamed..

    That doesn't justify personal attacks on him or his family.

    So.

    Because President Trump acts like an idiot then you think his critics should have free reign to act in a similar manner?

    Yes, it does......when you put yourself in the fray you have to expect heat....just like all other Presidents and their families did.....Trump and his family are typical bullies, dishing it out but not being able to take it.....snowflakes...

    You're uncomfortable with the fact that Republicans freed the slaves and Democrats were against it.

    I see. So what did make things better for everyone? Perhaps you could share the facts that I missed.

    REread my post you quoted....NO where did I claim anything made things better for everyone.

    I said : ""from someone's personal view and personal experience they were better...that did NOT make it better for everyone.""


    That in NO way implies that I said something made things better for everyone...

    But you’re making it sound like the Republican Party is the party that fights for civil rights. Remember how the Republicans became Democrats after Lincoln freed the slaves? Remember how the democrats became republicans after civil rights?

    For some silly reason I think the president of the United States, the most powerful man in the world should have a little more dignity than “ his criticsl
    Soon you’ll be saying , “Just because the president of the United States sexually assaults women and girls. So other men have the right to act in a similar matter?”

    That makes as much sense as your "he's did it first" or "he's worst" argument.
