Imagine going after someones kids for political reasons, who would do such a thing /s

[-] [email protected] 67 points 8 months ago

Imagine the outrage if a representative showed Congress naked pictures of Ivanka that were stolen from her computer

[-] [email protected] 42 points 8 months ago

Trump might actually show his face in congress to get a view of those.

[-] [email protected] 26 points 8 months ago

The pictures were actually stolen from his computer.

"Lots of people have been telling me they're the greatest pictures really the best"

[-] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

"These pictures are the greatest pictures in the world but the corrupt far left wants to censor them"

[-] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

How cute; you think he'd know how to get a picture onto a computer. Or how to use a computer. Or how to take a picture.

Leave my children alone! Talking to them is devastating to my case!

[-] [email protected] 28 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Objection your honor! -Trump

And why is that? - Judge

Because it's devastating to my cause... - Trump

Brought to by ~~Ace Ventura Let Detective~~ Liar Liar. Doing God's work since 1997

The quote is from Liar Liar

[-] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

I knew that. I just woke up, lol

[-] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

And it's case, not cause. :D

[-] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Its not our fault you sucked your own kids into your illegal business trumpy... families that crime together do time together

[-] [email protected] 38 points 8 months ago

Dude you appointed your kids to public servant roles... It's you that subjected them to this.

[-] [email protected] 34 points 8 months ago

It’s just content tailored to his base to make him look oppressed. That’s why he keeps disregarding the gag order too.

I bet his kids say, "I don’t recall" a thousand times anyway.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 8 months ago

Prosecution: "Is this your signature on the bottom of this document that I am now showing to the court?"

Don Jr.: "I don't recall."

Defense: "Objection, your honor. My client is blind and can't reasonably testify."

Judge: "Overruled. Mr. Trump Jr. is clearly not blind. Also, he's not your client.

Trump, on the steps: "The judge is biased against me! He won't even let my son testify to excommunicate me!"

*How I expect it to go*

[-] [email protected] 24 points 8 months ago

He's not worried about them. He's worried that his idiot kids won't be able to lie convincingly and it will ruin his defense.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Because he's the best liar, no one lies better than him.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 8 months ago

"Eric is too stupid to not bring us all down"

[-] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago

He's an absolute wildcard. On one hand he's to stupid to do anything, on the other hand he's so stupid he could accidentally rat them all out.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Does Junior seem any smarter? He seems like he's got a real cocaine tongue, to boot.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Who? Eric "we get all the money we need from the Russians" Trump?

[-] [email protected] 23 points 8 months ago

As he calls for the prosecution of Hunter Biden for the umpteenth time.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago

He only cares because he's worried they might sell him out.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

Wouldn’t you?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

that won't happen. it's just for the quote the maga media can repeat all day.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 8 months ago

Especially the daughter he openly lusts after.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 8 months ago

It always strikes me as strange when anyone refers to their 30 or 40+ year old offspring, as children. They aren't remotely children in any way.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago

To me, i feel there's a difference between calling someone a child (indicating a youthful connotation) and being someone's child (a familial connotation).

My children will always be my children, but sometimes my oldest acts like a child.

If that makes any sense.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago

I thought the same thing until my kids became adults. It's just a parent thing.

[-] [email protected] -2 points 8 months ago

I get that. But being their parent, and having the impulse to protect or defend them, doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Im not defending Trump's actions. They're plenty old enough to speak up for themselves. I'm merely saying it's not uncommon for a parent to refer to their offspring as "children" even after they're well into adulthood.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

Obviously you don't have kids.

[-] [email protected] -3 points 8 months ago

I don't fly helicopters either. But when I see one stuck in a tree, I know that's not right.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Can you just educate yourself to the fact that words have multiple usages, and children both means youth as well as offspring so we don't keep having this retarded conversation?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Do you really believe I don't know individual words are used in different ways?

I thought it would be obvious, that I just believe useing words with the least ambiguous and narrowest meaning available, is a more clear way to communicate.

In this case offspring would undeniably be the term to fit the meaning parents want to convey. Continuing to use child is a sign their concept of their offspring hasn't kept up with the current reality. The fact that this behavior is common dosen't mean it's correct and immune from criticism.

Both it, and your attitude of infallibility, are just two of the many windmills I fight against.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

Bro do you understand tilting windmills is foolish, and that's the point of the expression?

You being butthurt about common linguistic usages isn't your valiant struggle, it's your autism acting up

[-] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I certainly do. You got the point perfectly.

It's my pointless, useless, impossible, imaginary battle against the world itself. But hey. You don't fight the fight because you can win. You fight the fight that needs fighting.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Cool bro go yell at clouds then

[-] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Won't somebody think of his poor tykes who never did anything wrong in their life and are being maliciously attacked for no reason at all!

[-] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

You can call them family but that does not specify exactly who they are. Family can refer to brother and sisters or parents as well as your children. It would be pretty common to ask an 80 year old of they have any children. Don't think it really refers to a certain age of the child.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

Offspring would be the term.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago

Or what? What's he going to do about it?

Also: ADULT children.

[-] LetterboxPancake 16 points 8 months ago

"Leave my children alone! The hot one and the idiot as well. Are there others? Leave them alone!"

Criminal demands accomplices be left alone.

Second. Don't forget about the time he wanted to fuck Ivanka.
