I would never allow my children to have contact out of school with anyone in the Trump administration.

I would probably not prohibit my kids from contact with off spring, but I would probably be hard pressed to allow sleep overs or extended play dates when the parents had public profiles based on hatred.

One of the only things I approve about Melania is that she kept her son out of the spotlight (for the most part) and, during the presidential years, put him in a school that was a good fit for him rather than the ''best'' school.

I agree. She certainly didn't care about horrible things done to other children, but she appears to have done her best, especially with a husband/father who does not seem supportive of their son. I know a number of parents at the NYC school and no one had a kind word to say about Baron's father.

I’ve heard the opposite. I know some of his neighbors and they say the Catholic community has really coalesced around them to form a sort of protective barrier. It’s to the point where that group is now holding separate parties from the rest of the neighborhood and keeping with their own.

The Catholic community has a lot of practice coalescing to protect their creeps and perverts. Just saying.

As does the Democratic party.

What are your cites here for the Democratic Party? I don't feel compelled to provide any for the creeps and perverts' reference above as there have been books, newspaper exposés, documentaries, feature movies, trial transcripts for over the last twenty years.

He behaved poorly.

He was accused. Not indicted. And the evidence was scant so he was still confirmed.

None of that contradicts the fact that he behaved poorly at the confirmation hearings.

Or that one of the women accusers was a highly credible academic professor. Friends in the area who attended school with him, not to mention Yale peers, corroborated that he behaved very badly when drunk at parties.

The evidence was far from scant but it was dismissed.

Highly credible people don’t claim they built an escape door due to trauma from Kavanaugh’s attack, only to have building permits expose the door was built in the process of creating an apartment to rent to students.

I'm particularly wondering about grandchildren/teenage children of a certain past president. The oldest grandchildren are definitely old enough to have current events discussed in school. What is it like for those grandchildren? Are they being kept in a bubble by their parents/parents lying to them about how great their grandparent is and how awful everyone else is? Like, how do you explain an event like January 6 to those grandchildren? How is it discussed in their school?

Trump hasn't been formally implicated so it would be unlikely and inappropriate for a teacher to host a discussion about it. In the DC area in general, partisan issues are kept out of the classroom. Its possible to have a nonpartisan discussion of current events.

Wait, are you saying it would be "inappropriate" to have a discussion in a HS classroom about what happened on 1/6? How about the entirety of the 2000 election cycle and the lawsuits?

It would be inappropriate to say that Trump had a role in the attack. That hasn't yet been officially determined. The event can be discussed in a way that would not be in any way offensive to a Trump kid by discussing the facts and what has been established in court.

We watched him in real time egging them on and loving on the violent rioters … literally told them they were special and he loved them as they violently plundered the Capitol and murdered people. We came very close to his own deputy being bound and possibly Murdered for false claims that he could have changed the outcome of the election by not carrying out his constitutional duty …

And yet, Capitol police officers testified under oath that they opened doors and waved people into the Capitol.

Have you actually watched what goes on at CPAC? It's not just some generic conservative convention of people who disagree with the tax structure.

Please detail what goes on!! I do know they had a Neo-Nazi with a shaved head there once - the press took photos!

I know that Reddit is comprised mostly of 13-year old boys who are hermits but this thread is actually interesting if true.

OMG they are SO right. I went once and saw them literally throw out a black person!

He behaved poorly.

Try being falsely accused of gang rape in front of the world and see how you would react.

Nothing before or after matters. The idea someone would use the word ‘approve’ in this context is as judgmental and arrogant as it gets

This in no way reduces Trump’s culpability in inciting a violent insurrection - we all saw Trump on that terrible day egging the violent protesters on to fight for their life (from his lofty White House office) and not doing a damn thing to stop the looting and chaos for many hours. Even after his own Ivanka advised he do so.

Does not surprise me. Just pointing out your arrogance. Wear it proudly!
