Jimmy, we can finally buy you new shoes. Daddy got a job at the new GM factory that the President helped keep in the US.

Susie, you don't need to worry about our taxes being raised to pay for those Illegals.

Manish, welcome to the US. We appreciate you going through the proper channels to immigrate.

Geta, you are safe going to the Mall. There have been no terrorist attacks since Obama left office.

And most importantly... Hillary, you were never Presidential material. Get a real job.

At least the parents will have jobs or the opportunity to have jobs.

The OP must not be old enough to remember the Clinton years when oral sex was working its way down through to the middle schoolers.

Or themselves, if they happen to be parents.

I kinda think that might be the real point of the thread.

Perhaps looking for an excuse to hang their own poor skills upon.

Despite the absurd premise of this thread, the prospect of someone yelling 'fake news' at someone to settle an argument is hilarious.

Speaking of absurd premises, you can't seriously be suggesting that terrorism will just stop under Trump. As if no one ever shot up a mall prior to Obama. Domestic terrorism. It's hardly a recent problem.

It won't be nearly as hard as explaining to a persistent 9 yo what a blow job is.

"Ahmed, you can't build a wall around your room to keep your sister from playing the Nintendo."
Since you have made it about yourself, I'll say that I hope you don't have kids.

Parents who shove their children in front of the TV or expect them to comprehend the complex subject need professional help or a good strong kick in the ass.

My 7 year old doesnt get into politics much. I inject politics every now and then... for instance, he lied to me about his homework so I said "Oh, now you're going to lie like Hillary?" -- his response was priceless "I AM NOT A HILLARY!"

He hasnt lied since.

Some parents do not have a tv or rarely turn it on.

My grandsons got 30 minutes of screen time a day. It could be a computer, game or a tv program.

Kids hear things from many sources. Such as the bus monitor, other kids in the school or at a friend's house.
