Betty,
You nailed it, and the “so-called President” himself is leading the pack. I don;t recall Obama calling anyone names. These days, the President leads the entire country in offensive behavior. I am afraid that if we follow his example we will have an entire generation of bores, brutes, bullies.
Sad to see the same supporters of the former administration who so loudly proclaimed peace and love for all transformed into a hate filled, divisive, lynch mob. Politics not-so-artfully masked as a pretense of social principle.
I agree that there should be consequences for lying so we must hold Trumps feet to the fire!
I must have missed someone calling Melania Trump a gorilla.
The LAT editorial was an honest account; truth does not equate to meanness.
Lastly, it’s right wing media and the Republican party that have devolved away from any sense of decency.
Final daily score-
Clock 2.
So-called president 0.
Betty, here you go again! All I can say to you and any other Trump supporter who whines, complains or expresses shock over the vitriol aimed at Trump, his wife, family, supporters, etal., is “kettle meet pot.” For 8 long years, all those opposed to Obama and his family, not only questioned his legitimacy as our duly elected President, but also questioned his birthright as an American to the point of demanding to see his birth certificate. In fact, it was Trump himself who fed this false claim like red meat to the overly eager masses of ignorant racists, the Republican Party leadership, and countless others like you who vehemently refused to call Obama “your President.” And the disrespect did not end with President Obama himself, no your kind, depicted his family as apes, African “bush” savages with cartoons of watermelon growing on the White House lawns, Michele Obama was constantly criticized for her looks as we’re the two Obama children. Bear in mind, Obama’s two daughters were just young children when he was first elected back in 2008, but that never deterred critics from attacking them either. As far as Ivanka and Melania, they are both adult women, not children and should be able to defend themselves. They are also responsible for their own poor/questionable choices when they refuse to refute or disavow Trump’s lies, racist/sexist, misogynistic, bigoted remarks that continue even after the election. So Betty, your lame attempt to point fingers and lay blame on the “liberal media” or the “left” is the definition of hypocrisy. The Republican Party created Trump and allowed his divisive vitriol to set the tenor of the campaign and his presidency. It is his small minded and mean spirited supporters who tacitly approved of his message by remaining silent. Those of us who disagree will continue to resist and be vocal and yes, we are legion. As for a new national pastime, I vote for early impeachment.
Gosh Betty, are you absolutely sure? You trot out a whole bunch of attitudinal stories that are part of our current (and more than the last 10 years worth) of stupid and useless PR acts or worse, linked story lines that no one really pays attention to.
I don’t care about any Trump family behavior; I already know enough about that from his TV show.
What I want to see, is a presidential style of behavior that reminds me of Ike. Or even better, JFK. Yes, I know about JFK’s profligate and nasty behavior; but I can deal with that if he did presidential things that made our country safer. Do you disagree with the Viet Nam War? I did. Do you feel badly about our not starting a war in Cuba?
Was Ike a moron, or did he try at the end to tell us how effed up things would be if the “Military-Industrial complex” became the driving force in our government?
The LA Times did in fact “used to be” a liberal and pointed force for change in the news. It is now a wholly owned subsidiary of a company that used to be part of the Chicago Tribune. Those guys are as hard-core a republican bunch that has existed in the USA. The new owner is of course a guy who wants to make money, and if he can’t do that he will sell that old crapdoodle off as fast as he can.
So stop your whining about the LAT, and start making good arguments for your boy in the White House. YOU have a very big job ahead of you.
