It is what it is. Right now it's liberals and entertainment attacking a 10 year old boy. Stick with the current situation. Liberals are showing their gross underbelly, you know, the one they have always professed to not having.
...and a week ago, and for 8 years prior, neocons were doing it.

I say this because you are painting with such a broad brush. Clearly many liberals speak out against this kind of behavior and do not condone it.

As I was pointing out, some people are just jerks. Being a liberal, neocon, leftist, rightwinger...has nothing to do with whether or not you are a jerk. Jerks are in both camps doing jerky things.

It's not ALL, or even a majority, of members of either group who engage in this sort of thing.

I'm sorry you fail to understand this.

If you say the White House has a bunch of gorillas in it, guess who that includes? Yeah, the children.

So just shut up. Seriously.

I condemn with extreme prejudice any person who attacks the minor child of a president, and at this point in my life, I come down firmly left of center.

I agree. Watching Barron playing peek-a-boo with Theodore made me smile, and was one of the more benign and nicer things about the day .

The President had his youngest and oldest so far apart (28+ years), it makes for an odd juxtaposition of relationships. Theodore (Ivanka's little 10 month old son) is actually Barron's nephew, not his cousin.

One of my college buddies is the oldest of 6 in a Catholic family (all 6....same parents). The first four.....barely more than 9 months between each of them. When the fourth was in 9th grade, they had two more, barely 9 months apart. His dad has an engineering degree, and then entered the US Navy, and was a career officer. The kids were 'Navy brats'....they moved all over the place. They didn't want for anything, but they had a modest upbringing.

My friend's dad retired from the Navy, and then continued as an engineer, working for a major defense contractor. My friend...only slightly jokingly....said that because of that income boost (including the Navy retirement pay), the last two were almost like a different family because they were so spoiled in comparison.

I'm glad to see a liberal here against this!

This is one examples of why the democratic party is imploding in front of our eyes. They have no message, they have no plan. They just can't accept the reality that they lost.

Nowhere have I seen the Democratic party calling for verbal abuse of Barron Trump, and when Rush Limbaugh was saying horrible things about Chelsea Clinton, I don't recall that being attributed to the Republican party. Some individuals are just horrible people.

This isn't a new thing, or a specific party thing.
They have? Take a look at this:

I don't agree with it, and Obama had to remind everyone after Bristol Palin turned up pregnant in 2008.

All is fair in love and war.

For the Libs/Sewerocrats, it is war and everything is fair game.....including a kid.

Richard "Nazi" Spencer was peacefully speaking his mind.....and a Sewerocrat assaulted him, and the other Sewerocrats cheered wildly!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, these people need to get a f-en grip. Between Trump working on good trade deals and the lunatics on the left acting like petulant b*tches, the Dems are going to lose their entire base and be left with those who are so off the wall fringe, they will never recover.
See my post above. It's been "like this" forever. Of course, that doesn't make it right. It's not "different" or "worse" now. Do some searches on all the crap said about Amy Carter. And look at all the criticism the Kennedys, all of them, have received over the years. They and the Bushes have the good grace to ignore it.
