My posts have been about treatment of Trump supporters. I think I am the one who has been subject to personal attacks.

Edit to add:

Poems thatvspoke to me

Martin Niemoller

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me

Claude McKay

If we must die—let it not be like hogs

Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot,

While round us bark the mad and hungry dogs,

Making their mock at our accursed lot.

If we must die—oh, let us nobly die,

So that our precious blood may not be shed

In vain; then even the monsters we defy

Shall be constrained to honor us though dead!

Oh, Kinsmen! We must meet the common foe;

Though far outnumbered, let us show us brave,

And for their thousand blows deal one deathblow!

What though before us lies the open grave?

Like men we’ll face the murderous, cowardly pack,

Pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back!

Both were straight forward

Can we slow this train down a bit? Consider that while rm might be an outlier at Dag, he does represent what people in his larger realm are saying ... so a breath may be necessary. And appreciated, by all of us. Then, perhaps, a better understanding. (rm, for goodness sakes, think about who you're talking to here!)

"Only thing unique is their sloppiness"...haha...good one....it's probably their most redeemable attribute!

In reply to There is clearly a double

That's because " the liberal media" doesn't believe in acting like animals like the right wing nut job media does! I think it's a real shame that you are advocating that everyone should get more like Fox News and attack Melania like they would have attacked Michelle for this or that personal thing. You like hate or what?! Is that what you really want, rmrd, more hateful emotional angry media on the left? One that judges everything and everyone related to Trump as equal evil, your word, evil.

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. You would like "them" to treat stories about Melania just like right wingers smeared Michelle, because: you want revenge? You want all sides of the media go down to stoop down to right wing nut job level because?

In this case, really blind. If you want to label everyone that has anything to do with Trump as one and the same with him, you are deliberately intentional blinding yourself to nuance about people. That's a choice, a choice to go for confirmation bias and eventually probably conspiracy theorizing when facts don't always fit your political message program.

Funny you should be talking

Funny you should be talking about this, as I was just yesterday joking with someone in email about a guy from Ukraine on LinkedIn whose whole persona there sounded just like he was looking to hook up with Manafort and Trump Jr. types. In this attempt, he has somehow convinced enough others to link with him to the point he now has 12,000 connections....

I pay attention to all sorts of things, and all sorts of people in all sorts of places. The only thing unique about this family is their sloppiness.

Well, she blew up the signing

Well, she blew up the signing, so I think that part came through clear, whatever she intended.

I hope you get your answer regarding the message Melania wants to send.

Everywhere? No. You are not paying attention.

This is a unique family in which every one I mentioned is banking every dollar (or hundreds of millions) from anyone and anywhere they can from the platform of the Oval Office.

So busy and so lacking in morality they pay attention to almost nothing else but gaming the system for their own aggrandizement.

Even Mafia kingpins did stuff for the community, the Trump's rob their own charity.

In reply to Oh, their type is everywhere.

I think the most interesting is "I really don't care". Trump's whole schtick is predicated on pissing people off, getting them to care. Is she just walking away, going theough the motions, putting a stick in the spokes. She hung out withthe Obamas - smilingfor real - what was that besides an FU to her husband? Why are people so quick to define an abstract phrase in an ambiguous setting? I think Melania is really limited English-wise, and her twitter feed's controlled by someone else. But a fashion statement? That's her domain.
