Trudeau seems like a pretty happily married guy but then his parents did at one time also and we see where that relationship went.

 

I've never found Ivanka that gorgeous. I think her height is a definite advantage and I have always thought she seemed intelligent, but I now think she's also bought and sold and yeah I do now believe her only value to her father is to be pimped out. I don't buy she exerts any influence. I also don't believe her marriage to Kushner is any more than a meeting of businesses. She's allegedly reported to have had her own dalliances before and since she's been married.

I don't really believe that she is some type of gift to be bought and sold mostly because with all the leaks going around and the many scandals about his personal life last year, we would have heard about it by now. If she was throwing herself here, there and everywhere it wouldn't be a secret and I doubt she'd be doing it so obviously as that photo either.

 

I do think that their relationship doesn't have enough boundaries because she is obviously his favorite child and he uses her to "prove" to the world what a big man he is and also to hurt his other children.

Right now, there are at least 12 states with bills pending in their state legislatures to restrict voter registration access and/or restrict or eliminate early voting and it's mostly based on the lie of 'massive' voter fraud that the Trump administration continues to propogate.

 

You can check to see if your state is listed in this article. The title is a bit misleading because clearly voter suppression efforts were already underway during the 2016 Presidential election.

Yep. I feel sorry for all of his children on some level.  Being raised by a narcissist is deeply damaging.  As far as looks go I think Ivanka was a very pretty little girl, but she's had enough surgery to wipe all the character from her face at this point.

People losing fingers trying to get from the US to Canada. This is just tragic.

But he didn't really raise them right. They were raised for the most part by their mother Ivana. I thought the boys actually hated their father, and Ivanka herself was rumored to try to stay connected to her dad by phone calls she made from school and he basically wanted nothing to do with the kids. And then all the kids sort of made themselves barriers to protect their mom from him after the divorce; Now all this is damaging, but it would be nice to think that they got something from their mother. It seems at the end of the day they didn't and it became trying to endear themselves to their father.

I think it's hard to know what really happened. Either way he is their Dad and it's clear he's pretty manipulative. The way Ivanka brags about the fact the 45 always took her calls is just sad. As if that isn't the absolute bare minimum a parent could do. Remember how during the campaign all his children were asked who the favorite was and they all said Ivanka? I'm sure it was great for 10 year old Barron to hear that. Plus children should not have to protect their mother, it's the parent's job to protect them.  No one will convince me that Ivana is some hero in all this, she choose that POS to procreate with.

 

And yeah, there are a lot of people I feel a lot more sorry for then the Trump kids, but being rich does not protect people from the damage done by awful parents.

    • Show starts soon. Wonder if we will get the Voice saying "The role of Ted Richardson is now being played by Keith Robinson" and if they'll update the intro
    • I initially thought BTG was going for the Duprees being (somewhat) like the Kennedy family- wealthy and politically influential. And Martin's accident being like how Chappaquiddick (Link) caused Ted Kennedy to cancel his plans to run for president in the 1970s. But now it seems to have more layers that that, so I have no idea.
    • The episodes uploaded today by the YT channel have been done through the end of November 1985 and what a mess we have in the Liza/Sunny/Hogan/Lloyd/Estelle story. I think it would have been easier to gradually bring Hogan/Sunny back together.. maybe even addressing the toxic situation and trying to work through it.   Unrelated to all that, I see that Gary Tomlin has attempted to reset the show to where it was when he left at the end of 1983.  He really seems obsessed with regressing Wendy as a character after the progress/evolution of her character post 1983.. with her sleeping with her mother's new boyfriend.   Based on what I've watched of the show online... the one consistency was the mother/daughter relationship between Stephanie/Wendy... and even though Stephanie was recast, I think violating that relationship was a mistake. I can see why Tomlin didn't last long in this stint as head writer.

    • I don't think that would be the reason tbh. Thinking about it, it's probably storyline related - I could see bio mom / dad eventually turning up (or maybe it's June as speculated) and wanting the children back. I could also see it being a part of the fall-out of Martin's secret being revealed now that he's backed down from a presidential campaign - his and Smitty's ability to be parents comes into question, which the bio parents use. They might've wanted the kids to be at a age where they could reliably speak for themselves what they prefer, but also have enough memories of their bio parent(s) not doing a good job. I'd also think that they might want to avoid having the image of this gay couple keeping a mother away from her small children, as it might skew the viewer to sympathise too much in one direction. 
    • Something self-defense is my guess, and I have a feeling maybe he was protecting someone close to him and the optics looked bad so Vernon/Anita covered it up (my guess maybe he was protecting Vernon/Anita).
    • If Reginald had had more dimensions he probably wouldn't have been killed off and Carl might not have been brought back to fill the international supervillain role. I think though that the Loves were also severely damaged by the way Nicole and Peter were made iredeemable and written out. I definitely feel that loss more than the loss of Reginald, primarily since they were good characters to begin with and were only ruined during this period.   
    • What if they were originally cast as Vanessa and Doug's twins and then were moved to Samantha/Tyrell when the show decided to delay introducing the twins? It's a shame they didn't stick with the original plan. BTW, does anybody have any new speculation on what Martin's secret will be? Brandon is hinting nobody is guessing it. Initially I thought it would be something where he was drunk and killed somebody or something like that but now I'm feeling like maybe it wasn't completely his fault. I don't get the vibe they're going to take him in a dark direction anymore.
