I'm making it about what the atmosphere of the country has become. Our president has absolutely no filter and can say anything he wants but private citizens are held to a higher standard.
That makes no sense.
Seeing people in here getting so offended over this little joke, while the president demeans, insults, and makes a mockery of the office he holds multiple times per day, every day is absolutely fucking hilarious.

So - I have a serious question. I even stated that this is not something to get all upset about but that it was a very weird metaphor...and I think inappropriate. And I didn’t expect it from Michelle.
so - people here really don’t care at all about this? Saying that divorced dads all don’t care about there kids and just do the fun stuff? You all are ok with keeping that line of thinking going?
Perhaps it’s fine, but then I’m sure hoping we can feel free to make all the other generalizations too. Please don’t jump all over my opinion like some Jew who saw a penny....wait...is that not ok?hippiemom = goodness0 -
No i thought it was a pretty dumb and ignorant analogy. I m not going to lose any sleep over it but I am surprised she said it.The Juggler said:

She's better than that. I don't care that she was talking about Trump but I do feel her generalizations about divorced dads was pretty shitty and wrong.F Me In The Brain said:Her comment was specifically about Trump, though.

I would agree that if you are ok with trump and what he has been doing, specifically making fun of the handicapped and using nicknames, etc. You certainly shouldn’t care about this.The Juggler said:

It’s absolutely hilarious, particularly complaining about it “being about Team Trump Treason,” when MO was asked about and wasThe Juggler said:

Did you even read my first post? You are pretending that I’m outraged like y’all were when trump had toilet paper on his shoe.The Juggler said:

People on the left would be up in arms if a republican said this.

I get her overall point here. As a dad (not divorced), it kinda sucks that this is the way we look at the Dads. I don't want to get overly outraged here as she was just trying to use a metaphor, but I would have expected more from her.soo the article pulls one small part of this talk or interview out and with broader context shes the devil. got it.given recent changes to this shit hole makrs me wonder if its worth renewal._____________________________________SIGNATURE________________________________________________

I call them like I see them and give credit when credit is due. I didn’t vote for the guy but I will mention positive things that he has done. It s ok to give republicans credit when you are a Democrat and vice versa.Spiritual_Chaos said:I'll ride the wave where it takes me......0 -
Can you imagine if we had a thread for every insensitive comment the president makes about someone or some people? Good god almighty, we would need a whole new forum to contain all the new content.www.myspace.com0

I was surprised Michelle was charging 1500 SEK (162 dollars) per ticket here in Sweden for her talk.
WHAT A SOCIALIST HYPOCRITE! SHOW US YOUR TAX RETURNS MICHELLE! DIDN'T YOU FIGHT AGAINST TICKETMASTER IN THE 90S?!?!"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -
