Remember when this happened to Obama's daughters? Oh that's right because it didn't. For 2 reasons - they never would have been flying coach and conservatives don't feel they have the right to be assholes to politicians's families.

IVANKA TRUMP ACCOSTED BY PASSENGER ON JETBLUE FLIGHT

7:48 AM PT -- The husband of the unruly passenger tweeted an hour before the plane took off, "Ivanka and Jared at JFK T5, flying commercial. My husband chasing them down to harass them."

Ivanka was on a JetBlue flight leaving JFK Thursday morning with her family when a passenger started screaming, "Your father is ruining the country." The guy went on, "Why is she on our flight? She should be flying private." The guy had his kid in his arms as he went on the tirade.

A passenger on the flight tells TMZ Ivanka ignored the guy and tried distracting her kids with crayons.

JetBlue personnel escorted the unruly passenger off the flight. As he was removed he screamed, "You're kicking me off for expressing my opinion?!!"

Sounds like a False Flag operation to me.

Harasser on the left - husband on the right. Probably new heroes of the left wing for "telling her off".

It's bad to accost women or harass them - unless you disagree with their Dad - then it's AOK.

by **GRR Spartan** 2016-12-22, 18:04

Do you really think being a jerk is limited to a poltical persuasion?

My experience in years of flying is those who don't want to be bothered by others fly first class. They board first, sometimes last and always de-plane first.

I am surprised the President elect's daughter was flying coach with Jet Blue with the Secret Service.
The billionaires in West MI have their own jet or fly NetJets.

by **Rocinante** 2016-12-22, 20:35

Think about it! They're accused of influence peddling. What better way to throw people off the trail than to send poor little Ivanka out there to drum up some sympathy. If that's even Ivanka.

by **GRR Spartan** 2016-12-22, 22:07

Only heroes to those wanting to label them so conservatives and republicans can continue to act like victims.

They are two guys who made a big deal about a public person on the plane. I suspect they are more interested in increasing their social media standing than truly protesting anything

Ivanka Trump and her husband have estimated net worths of $300M each. Her father tells us he's a billionaire and the son-in-laws father is a multi-millionaire. Yet she's schlepping her kids and Secret Service in Jet Blue coach?

by **Rocinante** 2016-12-23, 00:05

Exactly. Like she's just a regular person. Fuck that noise. Conspiracy.

Goose take your head out of your ass dude. You constantly paint liberals and conservatives with such a broad brush it's ridiculous. Pure in group vs out group bias. There are assholes in every political party, religion, race, ethnicity etc.

For the record, Obama's daughters were harassed all over the internet just for what they wore during an event. Fox even had to shut down the comments section of their article on Obama's daughter being accepted to Harvard because it was flooded with racist comments.

I seem to remember reading about John McCain calling Chelsea Clinton ugly, and Rush Limbaugh calling her a dog. These remarks would have been made while Bill Clinton was in the White House, so she could have been as young as 12-13 years old. So, yeah, people are assholes.

by **Turtleneck** 2016-12-23, 09:41

McCain's joke was in 1998, so she was 18-19 years old.

"Do you know why Chelsea Clinton is so ugly?" he told a handful of big Republican funders. "Because Janet Reno is her father."
https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2008/sep/02/women.johnmccain

Limbaugh was in 1992 and she was 12.

Chelsea Clinton has moved on from Rush Limbaugh — after the bombastic conservative radio host compared the 12-year-old first daughter to a dog in 1992.

Some folks are looking for reasons to be pissed off.

The guy who bothered Ivanka Trump aka Mrs Kushner is a jerk.

There is a reason celebrities and almost famous use NetJet or charter or first class. It helps keep them from running into jerks. If flying coach was an idea to show Trump's daughter as regular folks it a poor one.

So 1998 and 1992? Some good archaeology there. I'm kinda waiting for someone to scold you on bringing such old news - I hear that now and then.

ALBANY - Former gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino is facing backlash on social media for a racist remark about first lady Michelle Obama published Thursday in a Buffalo alt-weekly.

Paladino, who was honorary co-chair of President-elect Donald Trump's New York campaign, was one of a few dozen prominent Buffalo figures surveyed by Artvoice for an end-of-the-year feature on their hopes for 2017.

In response to a question about who should "go away," Paladino suggested the first lady should "return to being a male" and move to an African cave.

"I’d like (Michelle Obama) to return to being a male and let loose in the outback of Zimbabwe where she lives comfortably in a cave with Maxie, the gorilla," Paladino responded, according to Artvoice.

Paladino, a Buffalo developer who is chairman of the Ellicott Development Co., confirmed the authenticity of the remark, according to The Buffalo News and WKBW-TV.

When contacted Friday by the USA Today Network's Albany Bureau, Paladino said he is planning on sending out a written statement addressing the matter.

His survey responses weren't limited to Michelle Obama.

Asked by Artvoice what he would most like to see in 2017, Paladino said he hopes President Barack Obama is caught having a relationship with cattle and contracts mad cow disease.

"He dies before his trial and is buried in a cow pasture next to (Obama adviser) Valerie Jarret (sic), who died weeks prior, after being convicted of sedition and treason, when a Jihadi cell mate mistook her for being a nice person and decapitated her," Paladino said in response, according to the alt-weekly.

Goose,
Take a breath. You brought up how Democrats n NC legislature changed things to their advantage in 1987.

Now after claiming "Bullshit" then beng shown specific examples of what has happened in '92 and '98 you pivot and call those dates "ancient history"

Relax. There are enough jerks to go around on all sides of politics.

Whoever arranged for Mrs Kushner and her children to fly coach should be be relieved of their duties.

If it was the other way around - let's say Clinton won and it was Chelsea Clinton and her family - trusted sites like Infowars and Breitbart would be calling it staged. In other words, it is pointless to make this partisan.

Yeah, that part was odd. She's flying coach? But then again I've always suspected her dad was a fake billionaire.

Out of all of this, this is an absolute gem.

This is the author of that incredible Teen Vogue article. This is seriously the best vs. a fox shouting head interview I've ever seen. When she says 'oh honey' I lost it. Lauren Duca, is very smart with a razor sharp wit. I'm officially a fan and I have a feeling she is going to be a very important voice in the effort to defeat Trumpism.

You post articles about the early 1900s when talking about global warming and people give you shit for it. You don't like that, fine, but let's not pretend this is equivalent.

I don't know why some folks seem to scour the interwebs to find levels of jerkdom, stupidity or innane criminal activity in an attempt to grasp at an imagined high ground,

There was only one Presidential candidate whose campaign had reporter seating in a cordoned off area in plain view of supporters attending campaign events and only one candidate who pointed out where the reporters were and encouraged supporters to go by and tell them what they thought of the media.

Kind of interesting how some still cling to being media victims.

Once the media becomes honest again and stops reporting news based on their personal beliefs people will take them serious again.

Until then, the media will be cut off, ridiculed, and continue to have all time low trust ratings.

Washington Post is booming right now, Bezos has taken that paper to another level.

"The Washington Post will happily take it. In the three years since Amazon’s Jeff Bezos bought the Post for $250 million—now seen as a steal for one of the great brands in publishing—the Post has reinvented itself with digital speed. Its Web traffic has doubled since Bezos arrived, and it far outstrips The New York Times (and even BuzzFeed) in the number of online posts its reporters file every day. So successful has the Post become in the digital game that it now licenses its content management system to other news outlets, a business that could generate $100 million a year."

So profitable they are about to add about 60 more journalists.

I'm finding when it comes to NYT, Washington Post and WSJ the folks that say they aren't trustworthy have an extreme bias themselves.
