Daughter In-law co-chair of the party, son is a delegate, daughter and son in-law are part of the cabinet.
The red hats are looking a LOT like the red coat monarchy that we declared independence from.
Conservatives want to be ruled by a king. That's why the ruling class created political conservatism post-revolution.
We really should have some sort of law that if you hold any high office of government, your immediate family (maybe for 2 generations) is permanently barred from serving in a similar capacity. Some sort of anti-dynasty law.
Gotta ask if you were saying this when Hillary ran for Senate, when she was Secretary of state, or when she ran for president, which would have been her effective 3rd term
Yes. Do you think this is some sort of gotcha? Only right wingers want rules that only apply to one side.
Nah I was just checking if you were a casual liar.
Fuck nepo babies and dynastic politicians.
Makes you wonder how many people didn't vote for Hillary just because of something exactly like this, makes you wonder.
Hillary, for all her faults cannot be accused of running on the Clinton name alone - she put a lot of distance between herself and they started off as two independently active politically engaged people. I loathe her for other reasons - but she was in politics by her own motivation (and was an extremely active first lady when she was).
So if Baron Trump has entered the world of politics, that means that the rest of his life is no longer closed to scrutiny. Stupid move. You can't have it both ways.
I've always wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, regardless of who his parents are. He's about to throw away that goodwill.
I've only ever seen comments online saying they feel bad for him being in that environment or that they hope he turns out normal. In hindsight, it's kind of astonishing any Trump was afforded such grace from the general public.
And that little shit threw it away his very first chance to do so. Fuck him.
Has he registered for selective service, or does he have those pesky genetic bone spurs that allow you to play football, baseball, soccer, and wrestling while attending military school, but prevent you from actual military service?
What's the story here please? I'm out of the loop. Why is he expected to register? Most young Americans don't, right?
Every male in the US under a certain age (I think it's close to 30? I'm not American) has to register under penalty of law.
This also applies to immigrant boys/men who become citizens and transgender men (people born female who gain legal recognition as a male).
I had no idea. Thanks for explaining!
Most people in the US get automatically registered by their state DMV to the feds, but you’re technically responsible for doing it even if you don’t get a driver’s license
It's a "draft" sign up everyone signs when they register to vote or get thier drivers license. Since there's no longer a draft it's basically just saying yes to maybe being selected for jury duty someday.
If world war 3 breaks out though ya might end up drafted still
I won't say that won't happen, but they will call back all the inactive reserves first. The 1st time you sign an active duty contract, you sign up for 8 years total. Everyone does. It normally is 4 years active and 4 years inactive, but sometimes it's 5 and 3 or 6 and 2.
They called people back in '02, '03 during OEF/OIF. It's easier to call people with prior training back then train 100% new one.
Voter registrations are what jury duty pulls from, not draft registration. There would be no women on juries otherwise
You think there's no women in the military?
Women may join the military. They do not register for the draft.
Every single male in the US has to register.
Audible "ugggggghhh".
Qualifications are?
Same solid credentials as H. W. Bush: his father participated in an insurrection against the country.
What insurrection did Prescott Bush participate in?
Republicans aren't really bother about being republican. They like the idea of monarchy. Powerful leaders that will crush their enemy's. They don't realise they will eventually become a target for the tyrant.
Conservatives are perpetually stuck in the 1500
Someone give that bitch a wedgie
I'm not naive enough to believe that Barron is going to magically turn his back on his family or anything like that. He's a Trump and at the end of the day, he's most likely going to fall in line and become another Wal-Mart level clone of his father just like his brothers did.
But he also just turned 18, and we know exactly nothing about him, his political views, or why he became a delegate in the first place.
There could be a possibility he's doing this just for his father and has little to no real interest in politics. Does he even understand the ramifications of what he's doing? Legit question. I honestly don't know. There's also the possibility he's savvy enough to use the Trump name to jump-start his political career, then take a career path that's very different from his father's once he's established himself (I'm not even saying he'd be a Democrat, but but even a Mitt Romney-style Republican would be very different from Trump and the MAGA party). Or he could just be another Trump clone setting himself up to march to his father's MAGA drum for the next several decades.
I fully acknowledge that the chances of him being a clone of his father are probably above 99.9%. But until we start learning more of his political views or what his own objectives are, I'm willing to give him that .1% benefit of the doubt. For now.
Counter point: All political dynasties should be banned.
So if one of Obama's daughters wanted to get into politics, they should be banned because their dad was already President?
I kinda think so, otherwise you’re kinda setting yourself up for oligopolies
Yes.
I'm not saying we should have a constitutional amendment preventing children of ex presidents from running, but I am saying we as a society need to stop caring about a family name and start caring about ideas.
He's an adult who's officially aligned himself with a national criminal and terrorist organization. What else do we need to know?
He's 100% voting for his father at the convention and helping his father in the campaign. That's what I'll judge him for, just like any other Trump delegate.
Fuck this Trump
ATAB
I supported him more than the others in the family. Not so much now.
But... why support any of them at all?
Because he was just a kid born into this shit. Now he's a participant.
Similarly, Ivanka sucks, but not nearly as much as her father.
I assume "support" is used here like "least favorite". Whatever your least favorite thing is; it's nowhere on your actual favorites list. It's just how we say "this sucks the most" while using less abrasive words.
I assume “support” is used here like “least favorite”
If that's it, the use of an active verb threw me for a loop. Thanks for pointing it out!
Does this mean he has to stop his illustrious career with the cyber?
RIGGED!!!

I'd assume they'd mean the business plot.
Of which Prescott has been accused of helping fund.
