I would say "Trump Family First"
Are you saying if you put your family first in your life you are evil? I believe that's the way 'life' has worked for 3 1/2 Billion Years.

If you don't put your family first what are you?

Maybe a few choice epithets are now needed to describe Malia and Sasha, or how 'bout Chelsea? Let's throw all the 'meat' into the grinder, nothing is off limits.............if the only thing you have to offer is...........

RESIST!

Everyone put your family first.
But in the Trump case it's called Nepotism that is a form of corruption.

You really shouldn't go there......examples of 'Nepotism' can be found in EVERY human endeavor(Government, Business, Military, Religious, Charitable, etc.) on Earth!

Nepotism is not necessarily a bad thing. It's not fair to those 'in the mix' but 'outside the family' but as the saying goes....that's life, get over it. As long as the person is good at the job what difference does it make as long as no laws are broken? And WHO can you trust MORE than a family member?

Anybody NOT remember Bobby Kennedy? Or is that a sacrosanct period in American History?

What is tRump taking from you?

I do see tRump is taking a lot from Native Americans. But with his recent comment, that is expected and a confirmation.

There is a difference.
Bobby Kennedy pursued his own political career.

So........Bobby's 'Political Career' predated his appointment by his brother as Attorney General of the United States?

True.

But Bobby had at least some political background.

That's not really a difference.


Prior to being nominated USAG by his brother JFK and confirmed by the US Senate (by a voice vote due to his father's string-pulling instead of the customary roll-call vote) RFK had NO previous experience in either an elected or appointed position in Government or in a courtroom (lawyer or judge) prior to being US Attorney General. His sole other political experience was as a US Senator (1965-1968 -- half a term) prior to being assassinated in 1968 just after (a few minutes) winning the California Democratic primary for President. Had he not been assassinated, it is quite possible he would have been President from 1969 - ?? instead of Nixon.

You can't say the same about Trump's kids... yet... Trump is still POTUS. Give it a few years and see what they do. Besides, of the three, the only one with any sort of official position is Ivanka and she refuses to draw a salary.

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia — A mountain of trash gave way in a massive garbage dump on the outskirts of Ethiopia's capital, killing at least 46 people and leaving several dozen missing, residents said, as officials vowed to relocate those who called the landfill home.
I fail to understand how an admittedly crude, but accurate, description of a location can be termed 'racist'.

But the political reality is that migration has become a salient issue — and not only for right-wing, populist and nativist politicians. Across many affluent societies, people are anxious about technological change, rising inequality and stagnant wages, and they have focused their ire at the global flows of capital and, especially, labor

Very true, IMO humans rarely focus their ire on the true cause of their misery. People would be better served if they focused on the oligarchs and their multinational corporations. These multinationals avoid any social responsibility to the people who granted them their very existence. Remember incorporation is a state granted privilege, corporations are a construct not some product of nature.

As are the self destructive supporters as I positied. The idiocracy is very good at being manipulated and it is too much work to use critical thinking.
As an aside IMO that is why there has been a decades long attack on our education system.

Re: Why Trump laughing at his enemies.
He says or does 'something' that outrages many. The 'outraged' then responds, not only with accusations against Trump. But include hysterical name calling against people who disagree with the 'outraged' political and social positions.
The accusations against Trump are then dismissed by the victims of the 'outraged' name calling.
Yes... Trump not only understands the Never Trumpers. But is playing them for the unwitting fools they are.

Now you are way out of line.
Trump is "name calling" almost everone that he doesn't like.
Yes. Even countries that are not "allied" with him.
We Never Trumpers outside the US are fed up with his insults.
And we are NOT unwitting fools!

The only self destruction, which I am repeating. Is from the name calling Never Trumpers.

Yes. There are Never Trumpers in the US as well.
More than 50% in the last election.
Next election?
No way that Trump will be elected again.

If the economy is doing better and American voters have hope for their individual future.

As is human nature choosing the short term profit over the long term. That was bred into us by Darwinian selection, just kick the can down the road.

Jan, did you and the 'world view' from your perspective, not learn anything from the last American Presidential Election and the Primaries before that?

Mr/President Donald J Trump is an EQUAL OPPORTUNITY name caller. Friends, Enemies, Frienemies, Strangers large and small. "Little" Marco, "Crooked" Hill-liary, "Sleepy" Jeb.

Repeating, Donald Trumps mouth is connected directly to his thought processor with no intervening filter. What goes through his mind is what comes out a lot of the time in a less than delicate way.

It's who he is. Get over it, deal with it.
Outrage is ineffectual.

RESISTANCE, is futile.

That is the difference between the right and the left. The right wants it now, the left wants there to be something for future generations.

LOL.
Nepotism (of Latin's nepos = grandson, nephew, offspring), in Swedish, also known as "fraud", favoring relatives or friends, in business or politics, without regard to merits.
Actually the Royal Family has no saying at all in politics.
They are even restricted to have opinions in politics.
The only Swedish citizens that have that restrain.
And it is only our King that has a small business in farming, not his family:)
