So Melania is upset Barron's name was mentioned during impeachment hearings-I don't care do you?

Were it not for the thousands of minor children that the trump admin ripped from their parents and continue to keep in cages - were it not for THAT ABOMINATION of DECENCY - I might agree with @FLOTUS, but facts are pesky things and I don't.

Thu Dec 5, 2019, 07:24 AM
Dec 2019

Not ridiculous because he is a recipient of undue privilege because of his father, this is certainly true. However the notion that he will be corrupted by this fact and seemingly this fact alone is ridiculous. How many men and women in history have had terrible and awful parents but have gone on to do good and decent things to make up for their legacy? There are many examples from abusive religions where children grow up in a culture of abuse but as adults (sometimes younger) they turn their back on their families and religion to proceed to speak out and fight against injustice. The royal families is yet another place to observe children of terrible parents/fathers who become decent and positive rulers... Queen Elizabeth I

What is arrogant is your assumption that you know how a teenage boy is going to end up especially considering his father seemingly wants nothing to do with him.

It wasn't about Barron, it was about the fact that we don't live in a hereditary monarchy. That's not an insult to the kid. It's a point that his father isn't a king. Which is true.

Now if they discussed his dating habits, or drinking/drug abuse, or even what he wears to bed, then yeah, off limits.

Mentioning his name is not a matter of concern.

...and call out her husband's evil child-separation immigration policy. THEN I might be inclined to listen to her gripe about Barron's name being used in a sentence.

Granted, the boy is certainly punished beyond reason just having AnusMouth for a father--but there is no hurtful intent in using his name in this context, unlike what the Dotard has inflicted on those who differ from him. I'm sure Lisa Page and a certain disabled reporter (among many others) know what I'm saying. For the Dotard, infliction of pain and humiliation on perceived enemies is his raison d'etre for being in the White House (along with serving Master Putin...) I can't shed tears over him getting a taste of his own medicine.

Your son, however, will not feel any sting from the professor's admittedly lame pun on Barron's name.

Do you remember when Bill Clinton was president and Senator John McCain made a terribly vulgar and bigoted joke about Chelsea Clinton when she was a teenager? Chelsea survived so will your spawn.

Melania had hoped that, when the Revolution comes, and the Great Unwashed storm the White House, they would have forgotten all about her and her son, and she could pretend to be the cleaner and sneak out un-noticed.

Just mentioning Barron's name has spoilt that for her.

But all joking aside, the complaint just shows how far some in the White House are out of touch with reality.

Time for a bit of Reality Therapy. I hope the shock of the Decline of the House of Trump isn't fatal for them. (But I can live with it if it isn't non-fatal. Care factor zero, actually.)

daughters days in Austin where they were living a life in the local headlines. They were not treated like Amy and Chelsea, they were given gentle treatment by people as I remember.

We aren't the RW.

Amy and Chelsea were not fair game, they hadn't put themselves out there as have Bevis an' Butthead jr, Ivanka, Jarod and Barb and the other Bush kid did.

Are we really going after another kid just because "they did it, too"?

He needs to be left out of it. I don't care about what about or but he is or Trump did this bla bla bla.

Barron has nothing to do with the sociopaths actions

Bringing his name up for whatever reason is completely unnecessary. I hate to admit it but I agree with Melania

For those who missed the GOP outrage today: Barron Trump was ripped from his mother’s grasp and placed into detention in another state and might now be put up for adoption. Oh. Wait. No. That’s thousands of other children.

IF, on the odd chance, that Barron is actually upset that people are talking about him all over the news because of this, I will give him a moment of sympathy. He's a boy.

What was said about him would have been barely a blip. It was not mocking Barron. It was a criticism of his dad. Now Melania, Trump, the VP, and Fox are all making sure that it doesn't drop. So if he feels bad about it, he has their dishonesty to thank.

And that's an IF....

I feel PAST badly that the birther's fat, racist fascist husband and Stephen Miller wants to turn this country into RU$$IA, because they are racist pos. Additionally, because tRump OWES his puppet-master, and the puppet master is ONLY too happy to fuck this country up and also get sanctions lifted against RU$$IA so that he can secure all of the oil that he can over there so he and his fellow oligarchs can fatten their already FAT pockets ----> as payment of fatso's debts to him. So no, I don't feel the least bit upset that her son's name was mentioned today, and it wouldn't have been mentioned had her husband not been trying to threaten, embezzle, lie, steal, break the law whatever--just so he can give this country away to pay off his massive debts to putin, but not before he tries to turn it into a white nationalistic country like putin's RU$$IA. I'm pretty sure Stephen Miller loves that picture below.

As for Barron, he's still alive, and looks relatively healthy. But, the toddler in this picture below is DEAD, because birther's husband is at the very least responsible for her death, yet she's allegedly angry that her son's name was merely mentioned? Many right-wingers are in an outrage today over Barron's name being mentioned today, yet tRumputin and his thuglican minions in the Senate & Congress are doing their BEST to destroy the rule of law, and every norm that used to be the USA by circumventing the US Constitution by trying allowing tRump to continue on with his law-breaking. He's trying his level BEST to turn this country into RU$$IA. By the way, MANY right-wingers were saying that the dead baby in this picture was a doll. A fake picture staged by dimtards, or by George Soros 🙄

It was just a really clumsy way of saying that Donald Trump wasn't a king (i.e. not able to grant titles).

nothing more. I don't see where the witness said anything insulting or offensive about Barron but, unlike Melania's husband, she sucked it up and apologized (she didn't really have to but anyway), which should quickly put it to rest. Melania and other Repukes will doubtless continue to flog this for the next few days as "evidence" of some kind of "problem" with the Impeachment Inquiry (which of course it isn't).

Father Pence seems to have forgotten Rush Limbaugh’s vile joke about Chelsea Clinton.

How’s your grip on reality, Mr. Vice-President? Is it as slippery as your boss’s?
