Has anyone besides me noticed that the phrase, "

less country," as in "Under Trump, we have become a

less country," is starting to catch on?

Had Ivanka been younger, as in a minor child, this borders on child abuse. Since she is not a minor, Drumpf is just displaying his licentious behaviour and disrespect for his daughter. While I am not a fan of this c word, Sam is making a point in political comedy. Ivanka made herself a target of such comedy by propping up daddy.

Trump was talking about his very own daughter, and that was out of bounds, by far!!!!!!!!!!!

While I loathe the "c" word, if the shoe fits..;) Trump encourages sexists, racists, pedophiles (one is running in Virginia!), and horrible deplorables all across the nation & nobody seems to be up to burning him out of the White House..:(

I went with the majority here. I think what Donald did was the most disgusting thing I’ve ever heard a father say about his own daughter. I don’t care what he thinks, but to say that out loud and on air? Well, that’s just ugly as can be. Which is no surprise in regards Donnie. He’s the most crass person to ever inhabit the Oval Office in every way.

tRump commenting about his daughter was totally disgusting! Anyone that would say anything close to what he said should be investigated for ALL the rapes, sexual assaults and just plain creepiness! But the rethuglicans will just let it slide off his back and keep going! That’s why we ALL HAVE TO VOTE! And VOTE BLUE!!!!

The incestual undertones makes everything Drumpf says about Ivanka disgusting, especially when as a father he’s rating his own daughter like a prized cow.

He said this about his own daughter? No one I know would. Dirty old man

Who in their right mind would say something like that about their daughter? Or anyone for that matter? He’s a disgusting perv, and talks/looks at her like candy. He’s a revolting pos, and there’s no excuse. imho.

As strongly as I feel about this, I may struggle a little to explain it. Mainly I am basing it on where respect is due. A father owes respect to his daughter because she is his flesh and blood; he is responsible, both for making her, and also for taking care of her, including protecting her. Donald’s remark was the opposite of that. Now, Ivanka has some position in the White House, and with that go responsibilities, including the responsibility of being a decent human being (and yes, I know n one in the White House is up to that; therefore NONE of them has earned any respect.) Whereas a citizen has a right and duty to call out bad behavior by officials to the degree the behavior is bad. Doing so is not disrespect if the behavior deserved it. This did.

 

And then, of course, I also agree with Sally Field.

I voted for the obvious choice for the obvious reasons.  Score one for Thunder!

The new poll is up.  Vote!  Then…

RESIST!!

VOTE BLUE!!

We know very little about Richard.  He’s new and has left less than fifty comments here.  He very rarely, if ever has talked about himself.

He is a denizen of Care2, and you’ll find his profile almost naked, but I was able to glean his favorite quotes from it.

the world will know peace.”

Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."

By all the means you can,

In all the ways you can,

In all the places you can,

At all the times you can

To all the people you can

As long as ever you can!"

He seems to be a very nice guy and I hope that, when he wins his next Big Mouth Award, we will know him better.

Please join me in loading him up with praise, because he does…

The economy directly effects the social issues…so I picked both equally.

 

Posted by SoINeedAName  April 7, 2018 at 12:54 am.

 

I picked the center line.

Always subject to change if Twitler sticks w/ ramping up his idiotic Trade War w/ China and the economy tanks because of it.

Trick question. Social and economic issues are so intertwined that one cannot be truly addressed without the other. Republicans here in the US have been conning us for decades if not centuries trying to convince us that one is more important than the other, ‘Tain’t so.

I went with Lona, economic issues are rising in importance but that’s due to the bungling of Trump more than real issues with our economy and can be handled. What we are truly struggling with are social issues of every king with racism leading the list. Those we MUST deal with and they will decide the 2018 and 2020 elections, in my opinion.

 

Posted by Lona Goudswaard  April 2, 2018 at 11:41 pm.

 

I voted "more social and less economic issues" because I believe important economic issues such as poverty and the ever widening gap between the 1% and the rest are social issues in core. Even climate change is a social issue and can only be battled in a serious way with equality and shared responsibility.

Wow! at this point every vote agrees with mine.

At this point, with embargoes creating embargoes, tDump yelling thing about no DACA, and the right wing-nuts trying to demean the kids from Parkland, I think the Dems will do best with a message that revolves around economic and social inclusion.

I voted more economic and less social issues.  While I agree that social and economic issues are equally important, I recognize that is a progressive view, and we progressives are a minority of voters.  The majority are less concerned with politics and tend to vote their pocketbooks and wallets.  Concentrating more on economic issues, without forgetting social issues, and supporting each other’s issues will help attract these voters.

The new poll is up.

VOTE!
