Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Asking her is fine, leave all politicians kids out of the spotlight (unless they are campaigning).
Sorry, that was thrown out the window when Rush Limbaugh went after Chelsea Clinton. And it really went out the window when the entire Republican media sphere went after Sasha and Malia Obama.
And it was wrong then and remains wrong now. Kids can’t help who their parents are, leave them out of it.
The problem with that argument is that Haley wants to make medical decisions for my daughter. I'll leave her daughter alone when she leaves mine alone.
Her "kid" is 26 years old, married, and campaigns with her mother.
Should we leave Don Jr., Ivanka and Eric alone too?
I didn’t realize she campaigned with her mom. She’s fair game then. But Barron Trump and Biden’s grandkids should be off limits.
But it's not about the kid. It's about the shameless double-standard. It's about Nikki as a parent as well.
Listen the kids aren't putting themselves in the spotlight, there's no reason to drag them in to it. Drag the candidate all you want but leave the kids alone until they decide to join the circus on their own.
She's not a child and campaigns with her mother. Maybe focus on the single issue instead of making it about something it isn't.
The sociopaths were rude so I get to act like a sociopath argument really doesn't sit well
Again, her daughter is 26 years old. So you are saying we shouldn't go after Don Jr., Eric and Ivanka, right?
They're active participants in the corruption and hell raising their old man got up to, just being his kids isn't the issue, it's that they're coconspirators
You wouldn't be asking the same question about Barron or Tiffany, because they kept their hands clean of the rampant bullshit their elder siblings got up to.
And her daughter is an active participant in her campaign.
