    Seems some on right didn't have much of a problem with that though, all's forgiven... and forgotten because Trump is "making Merica great again" i guess.
    so no hypocrisy on the right's outrage worth mentioning here either i guess.

    seems everyone needs to watch their mouths, be called on their foul crap and make sincere apologizes from time to time.
    Megyn Kelly is a television personality that invites commentary/criticism with her commentary/criticism. It's the name of the game. As a mediator in a debate, she was definitely and obviously harder on Trump than the rest. And I wanted Trump to lose, so don't bother with the "partisan" crap.

    Your comparison is a FAIL.

    What would you expect a response to ridiculousness be? My opinion has ZERO to do with partisanship, as stated. Your comparison doesn't hold water even at a stretch. Megyn Kelly as a political journalist vs Ivanka Trump, mother of baby in picture. That's not apples-n-oranges. That's apples-n-potatoes.

    I don't see why you would think you should get any better response than you purposefully set out to get with your goofy statement. There is no intent to your comment besides pissing some people off.

    I thought at least ONE guy here would say something like.
    "Well, Trump did cross the line with that comment" and then maybe a "but..."
    But everyone here has defended or made excuses for Trump and called me names and told me to STHU for even bringing it up!
    LOL!!!

    you just called it "ridiculousness"
    OK whatever.

    Ivanka Trump is in white House UNOFFICIALLY and Nepotisticaly helping shape national policies.
    She's a valid target ...If you think its OK to Attack woman using nasty language becasue of their job's. Then She is definitively a valid target.

    statements not goofy, sadly you just missed the point.

    the comments are TRUE, they point out that both sides use scummy language, and BOTH sides should clean up.
    I thought I'd get 1 or 2 partial grudging agreements but it seems you guys are to far gone for even that.

    You are incorrect. I did NOT defend Trump saying WHAT he said. I defended him defending himself, within context of who, what, when why and where. THAT matters.

    Ivanka Trump is in the WH because Daddy's got the coolest house in the US. The rest is conjecture. I live in the same house as MY daughter. It's not like it's unheard of. Like YOU said, she is there UNOFFICIALLY and as I posted ago she has NO OFFICIAL TITLE/JOB.

    She's only a "valid target" because her daddy is Donald Trump. That's as bullshit a reason as there is.

    I didn't miss any point. You did. Your comparison is crap. There is no comparison. The difference here is my argument isn't because it's "Trump's daughter" -- it could be anybody's in the same situation and I'd say the same thing -- your argument however IS just because she's Trump's daughter,

    "...Ivanka Trump is taking on a more formal White House role — with a title but not a paycheck — a move intended to quell ethics concerns raised about her status in her father's administration.
    In a statement, the White House noted that the president's elder daughter already had an "unprecedented role" in the administration different from that of previous presidential children.
    She now will take the title of special advisor to the president, and therefore assume the same responsibility to abide by ethics standards that other federal employees have, the statement said. The decision demonstrates the administration's "commitment to ethics, transparency and compliance," the administration said.
    Although Ivanka Trump already had a West Wing officeas does her husband, senior advisor Jared Kushner — she now will have "increased opportunities to lead initiatives driving real policy benefits for the American public that would not have been available to her previously," a White House spokesman said.
    The announcement came on a day when President Trump sought to promote his administration's commitment to empowering women. He delivered remarks at an East Room event that included other top women in his Cabinet, including U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley and Small Business Administration head Linda McMahon.
    Ivanka Trump held a roundtable with female business owners earlier, Press Secretary Sean Spicer said.

    Ummm ... yeah ... REALLY dig that "job title" "Special Adviser to the President". That'd called "Daddy's little princess" around here

    You are being purposefully obtuse. I suppose technically, when she does something in the role of "Special Adviser to Daddy", then it would be appropriate to criticize whatever policy that is. No more bubble gum in the WH, peasants

    None of which lends a simple picture of her with her child to leftwingnut vitriol. There is NO excuse for Bee's attack. Or does the baby have and "official WH position" as well? "First Grandbaby"?

    You keep trying to force a square peg into a round hole. Your argument is fundamentally flawed at the foundation; therefore, has no chance of standing.

    You accuse people of "Trump is right no matter what syndrome" in their responses, but YOUR statements are based solely on "Trump is wrong". And whether or not they'll post it, I'm sure more than a couple sets of eyes are rolling at you lumping me into the "Trump is always right" niche. You might as well discard that as some sort of weapon to use with me. You'll have to come up with something else. Like a legit argument.
