Makes my blood boil. Am I shocked? No. But I’m still very angry. Just yet another reason to boycott.

I mean she just seems to be dripping head to toe in honesty. I totally believe it. /s

I don’t know about now but I know his first term multiple coworkers who said this and who also said his kids should take over for him when he dies- especially Ivanka and Kushner or Baron when he’s old enough. And they were dead serious.

I agree with this. I don’t think any of the legislation put forward, in multiple countries, with the stated goals of “protecting the children” are actually meant to protect the children. If they were I would indeed support them because I have watched friends struggle with their children. But I’m not entirely sure legislating this problem away is even possible.

But parents I know can sit right next to their kids while they have screen time and some of the stuff that gets sent to their children’s devices is questionable. It’s a lot of emotional and mental labor constantly on parents to course correct some of that sometimes sneaky content. And this is a dual working home who are already stretched thin on time and energy. And banning the older children from devices altogether is pretty much impossible because of school and peers.

I saw a post the other day and it made a valid point. When we were kids there seemed to be a lot more sites with games and stuff geared toward children like Neopets and I remember Gaiaonline fondly. Were there some questionable things? Sure, it was the Wild West of the Internet and I had like zero and I mean zero supervision online, but there just seemed to be more stuff explicitly for kids. Games, interactive educational sites, chats and forums. Not just “versions” of things for kids.

Perhaps I am missing something? Someone please jump in if I am misguided on the apps and sites available today. I would gladly pass that info along to some pairs of parents I know.

And right wing iPads. They’re absorbing some really terrible stuff without supervision, or even with mild supervision and guidance it still gets through.

This makes zero sense. But I mean MAGA clowns make zero sense (no offense to clowns).

It’s never about the cost. It’s always about the hate.

Why hide deportation flights? Seriously. What is their reasoning?

And we know they chronically lie to cover their tracks… so… that’s the lowest they could drag that number and still make it sound somewhat feasible. Think about that.
