President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Please. Let’s further discuss how teenagers often have a strained relationship with their father, especially when divorce, coupled with a new romantic relationship for the father, is involved, and how we judge the character of the father based on this potential strain.

 

Imagine being a young man with a girlfriend you really want to keep around and bringing her home for the holidays to introduce her to your dad, Donald Trump. Try to picture that a moment.
After thinking it over after the election passed I can't really fault either of his sons for being dicks. They've been poisoned.

 

Especially when the "new romantic relationship" came along because Daddy cheated on Mommy again.

Boy, that will strain your character.

 

Naw. I'd rather discuss how you're a disingenuous gobshite who thinks it's okay to go after a poster's family situation in a message-board debate.

 

Let's also not forget that Mom claimed in her divorce deposition that Dad raped her.

Of course I do... The Awesomeness of High-Waisted Trousers

 

Sure. Go on. What does that mean for one’s character. Is it forever stained?

Trump’s sones now have a good relationship with their father. Does that count for anything?

Or, do the words and actions of a child, hurt and confused by a parents’ divorce, made in the moment carry more weight?

 

I thank you for helping me to imagine that you're a grumpy Bugsy Siegel.

 

Isn’t “gobshite” Charlie Pierce’s signature word?

It just doesn’t land well delivered by someone else, and you’ve used it twice now.

It’s like if I told you to “eat my shorts”. It just doesn’t work.

 

What kind of asshole quotes a 12-year-old like that?

 

Who’s forgotten. Are we also allowed to recall that she recanted the use of the term in reference with that encounter?

Again, from what I’ve heard, divorce can sometimes be messy, and even nasty.

I wouldn’t know.

 

Can all you assholes stop bringing other posters families into this, even with your stupid wink wink bs?

For fuck's sake, let's talk politics without wanting to physically murder one another.

I don't give a shit who started it.
