    People got a lot of heat for shitting on Barron Trump, which is something that would have actually been equivalent to what you're suggesting with regard to Obama's children. Even Chelsea Clinton came to Barron's defense.

    It has absolutely nothing to do with commenting on Ivanka, a grown woman working in the administration.

    But you knew that.

    Is this a bad time to ask just who the hell Samantha Bee is? Never heard of her before this thread.

    Please. Name one way calling Ivanka a feckless c*nt advances the anti-Trump cause? It’s nasty, politically motivated nonsense that shows the person saying/supporting it to be no better than Trump.

    Pilot didn't claim that it was advancing the anti-Trump cause.

    He is pointing out the very large difference between going after actual children and making comments about a Ivanka Trump, an adult who has a role in her father's administration. Perhaps if President Trump wants his family to remain off limits, he shouldn't have followed previous norms regarding nepotism.

    Would have been far less inflammatory if she had said feckless pussycat.

    The criticism of Trump’s kids has been vicious. Much of it earned.

    Feckless c-word is a big, big miss.

    Ivanka Trump is a public servant. A member of the executive branch of government. She’s fair game for any criticism. If people said she was part owner of a pizza parlor in DC that sold young children for sex slaves, it would be acknowledged as a possibility by FoxNews.

    D’Souza is an awful human being who received a pardon for that very reason.

    I think I shall bid a (cough, cough) fond adieu to the politics thread. To paraphrase the beloved poet of old: Politics (and this thread) aren’t one damn thing after another ... it’s the same damn thing, over and over.

    That was just from searching his name.

    EDIT: I hate catching up on this thread. @WCIBN beat me to it pages ago.
