I’m not sure how that stuff is similar to the child abuse I just posted.

I mean, c’mon. That poor kid. Imagine how terrified he was. All that shithead mother had to do was sit him down and rationally explain to him what it is about Trump that she finds distasteful, and why he shouldn’t endorse him. But nah. Throw him out on the streets where he likely felt that he would never again see his family, simply because he didn’t have the intellectual or emotional development to distinguish between popularity and policy. He said he would have voted for Trump because he “saw him on TV before.” For that, he gets to be completely frightened and disowned (he thought) by his own mother.

Shithead of the highest order.
And I’ll say it again. Don’t involve your fucking children in your ‘adult’ issues.

I see it as similar because there are all kinds of powerfully emotional reactions going on right now and that will probably continue.

But there’s one incident where a parent is insane to a child. There are many, many incidents where public abuse and hate speech are occurring, often directed at minorities and immigrants. I see the incident you post about as taking place in a context where a lot of heavily politicized emotion is taking place. This is a very charged moment.

On a more personal level, I know of several cases where families are essentially divided by this and it is leading to remarkably powerful emotional conflict. Members of families vowing never to speak to one another again, and saying it in public.

On a different note, Maine legalized recreational marijuana. If I still smoked dope (like I did when I was 20), that might be cheerful news.

As do I.

But there is zero excuse for an adult taking a ‘charged moment’ out on a child. If you don’t possess the wherewithal to put your children first – especially when they don’t know what they did – then don’t have children. You’re not ready, you’re not capable, and you’re not qualified. That kid was actually proud to bring his assignment home and share it with his mother. He probably felt like he was inching towards adulthood by participating in adult things. For that, he gets to pack his shit and leave. Eight years old, zn. Eight. I understand what you’re saying on a broad scale, but this is indefensible.

It’s like riding a bike.
Only, don’t try to ride a bike afterward.

The woman is a beast. Unquestionable child abuse. My family treats our dogs better than that. Excellent commentary on far left think in this video below about this abuse of a child.
