And at the daughter for going along with it.
Yes, we married at a very young age in 1972 and separated shortly afterwards. It was a shotgun wedding. Although, not entirely relevant I included that information in the interest of complete disclosure.
Her answer is: “Obama built the cages” 
Even if that was true, which is not BTW, that does not answer the question of why Trump used them and continued to use them. All we could possibly assume from her statement (it it were true) is Trump would be as evil as Obama. Thus Trump is still evil. Again why did Trump allow the children to be treated in such a deplorable way? Is her answer really because someone else also did it? Is that the type of leader that is worth?
And just to add Obama did it for minors without a parent or guardian present, till such parent or guardian could be located and the child returned. So what else do you do finding a child illegally in this nation? Trump OTOH ripped apart families, sent the parents back and kept and abused their children. And we know they were the parents because the parents are now suing us for our acts, the very same parents who we had and deported back.
It’s frustrating as hell, and thank you for asking.
I’ve been thinking the same thing.
Except that won’t happen.
Although Trump will die, and the sooner the better, it won’t change anything about his followers’ beliefs. Trust me. Not one single thing.
Disagree. The followers are just believing what they are told. Messenger dies, they believe different things.
Saw a news story a few days ago that Alex Jones may be cutting ties with Trump due to Trump’s pro-vaccine stance. So cracks may be forming in the allegiance for Trump among his followers, since (I assume) most of his followers are anti-vax.
I’m not sure following Alex Jones is an improvement over following Donald Trump.
I don’t think it’s that simple or easy. Trumpists may believe unfathomably stupid things, but many of those things are rooted in social phenomena that won’t die with him, including the dethroning of the white male, the gutting of the working class, the destruction of rural ways of life, and the rising popularity of liberal causes such as equality for and recognition of non-white, non-cis, non-male populations. As long as there is that chunk of people who feel displaced and fearful, there will be right wing CT galore. Trump or not. P.T.Barnum knew a thing or two.
It’s not. They’re both worthless in my book. But there seems to be a big overlap between those who follow AJ and those who follow Trump. It will be interesting to see what happens if AJ turns on Trump.
It’s the South’s Lost Cause narrative, or the interwar German Stabbed in the Back narrative, or the Fundamentalist Islamic Jihadi narrative, repackaged for a new generation and demographic.
Back to the OP…I sympathize with your tremendously frustrating situation, but the idea of marriage/romantic partnership as a means of having a live-in healthcare aide bothers me. I’m sure you’d look for someone who’s compatible and has other sterling qualities and that you wouldn’t think of her as a nurse, but still… It wouldn’t hurt to look at what other options you’d have if you do end up living alone.
Is the main reason you married to your wife that you need her as an aide? Have you told her you’re so unhappy, you’re considering divorce? How does she envision the future? Maybe she dreams of converting you, but she surely can’t be happy living with someone who finds her as unfulfilling as she finds him.
It’s a classic case of T**** figuring which way the crowd was going and running to get to the front of it. Alex Jones and Info Wars was around long before the T**** announced his presidential run and – if they don’t go bankrupt paying off the Sandy Hook lawsuits* – they’ll be around long after he’s been booed off of the stage.
*I can dream, can’t I?
I think you’re wrong, I think the whole thing implodes as soon as he’s gone. The family, for sure, the infighting for the spoils will be intense. Think for a minute how many crazy players, already in the game think, they could be the next King? They’ll be numerous and they’ll all be trying to out Trump each other. It will be a hot mess in my opinion.
This 100%. I’ve cut family members out of my life and have to explain it isn’t politics. It’s a deep, irreparable moral divide. Calling it politics plays right into the the hands of Trump (and the GOP in general). This is about the survival of the USA as a democracy.
Not just here. The media is very culpable here.
I have a BIL that I actually like very much. Wifes brother. Quite well off. Great guy. Well spoken and good sense of humor. I enjoy spending time with him, and he I.
Unless politics comes up. We avoid it.
He did actually finally admit that he did not like Trump as a person, but liked his policies. BIL was in the oil business so no surprise there.
Once visiting their home, everyone but my Wife and I left for church. They left Fox ‘news’ on. After they left I switched to CNN, which was turned back to Fox when they got back.
It did not surprise me one bit.
So Trumpism is worse than Confederates, WWII Japan, Nazis, etc.?
How you got fro what they wrote to this is just amazing!
You consider Confederates and Nazis to simply be politics?
