    How much time do you spend with your kids?

    I think that's shitty to say. People spend their free time different ways. Getting into judging how we all do it is a deep, dark hole we shouldn't start going down.

    What time do you put small children to bed?

    You think toddlers stay up to watch Jimmy Kimmel?

    Please let this go, John Foster.

    Criticize YF all you want for his politics, arguments, etc. Let's leave the personal stuff out of it.

    It is fun that you've yet to reply to me with anything related to the post before it. Trolling 101.

    I have to remind myself of that second point. Our bubble is pretty small. Similar to the poster who said “Trump voters” believe in the Seth Rich story and George Soros conspiracies. I guarantee you 95 percent of people who voted for Trump have no fucking clue who either of those people are.

    Let me add this and then I'm out:

    I disagree with most of QYFW's political views. I also think he can be arrogant and a pain in the ass at times. A lot of sweeping generalizations. Pisses me off here and there, as he knows.

    I'll also say this: He's a former colleague and a friend. I say without hesitation he's an excellent father. You want to rip his political views and sometimes caustic posting style? Have at it. Rip him as a person or a dad and you are way off base.

    You said I’m applying the same standard to Ivanka as to kids of Dem presidents. I never once mentioned any kids by name because I’m not comparing kids/adults. I’m applying a general standard of decency that changes depending upon the occupant if the White House. The reaction to much less harsh comments toward Chelsea (an adult child like Ivanka) generates more outrage than the vile remarks toward Ivanka. And it has nothing to do with Ivanka’s “position in the administration.” That’s an excuse for people to act like assholes without taking responsibility for their bad behavior.

    The Killing Fields.

    There is "criticism", and there are "insults." And there are some really inappropriate insults.
