Some of the boys at my wife's middle school have started wearing Russian symbols.
They draw the hammer-and-sickle symbol on their forearms or tape a paper patch with the symbol on it to their shirts or in one case to his forehead! This is the latest "cool" thing for the boys to do.
This is new behavior for the boys, and it starts the week after Putin has declared that Trump is doing his bidding, and that our country is no longer the world's leader. Yesterday the former KGB agent made fun of the U.S. Seal to Bolton's face, and Bolton laughed with delight at the "joke." I guess my worry that Bolton would be too harsh and abrasive to other world leaders in defense of the U.S. was misplaced.
My wife is an instructional assistant, [ your wife is a teacher's aide ] so she only influences the kids on an individual basis, but she doesn't put up with behavior like this. She has them remove the symbol from their clothes or go wash their arms, and tells them they can wear it off campus but not at school. I'm proud of her. I'm a vet and have spent my life fighting against that which they -- and Traitor Trump -- are celebrating, even if the students don't know what it means.
I've read that since Trump took over more and more Americans have a favorable view of Russia, and that's wrong. I didn't agree with Reagan on many things, but I think he was on the money when he called the Soviet Union the "Evil Empire."
What is somewhat disconcerting is that when she drew an analogy between the Soviet Union and the Holocaust, they would state the Holocaust didn't happen. These are seventh and eighth graders! JFK was president when I was their age. "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."
With Trump, their role model is an avowed white nationalist whose quote for posterity is, "Only I can fix it!"
there is so much in this... doesn't start with So,...
No cops in bushes...
but does have commies and mentioned the holocaust...
eh...

5. Well...this president has NO control over my 11-year old daughter...
I am so proud of her it makes me well up just thinking about it...this summer, when the family separations were first being disclosed, she came with me to a downtown St. Louis protest rally in 100-degree heat with her very own, hand-drawn and made sign that read 'Family belongs TOGETHER', she just wanted to be there, to have a chance to say "I do NOT support this!"...then this fall for her birthday, she asked her mother and I to make a donation to the Humane Society in her name instead of asking for an expensive present or toys. I nearly fell over...
Finally, when she came home the other day she told me that she cannot wait for the chance to get a REAL president again in 2020 and that she wants to help knock on doors and campaign in 2020 for whoever the nominee ends up being...in a world of complete shit and even shittier people in charge, my daughter warms my heart and makes me so very proud that I could cry!
**** Donald Trump...he is the raging narcissistic boil on the ass of humanity and we are going to lance that thing as soon as possible and then start fixing things for my daughter and her generation. We owe it to the future to make sure the present sends Trump and his ilk back onto the ashcan of history where they belong!

2. The hammer and sickle is code for white nationalism now. it's less offensive
than the swastika and won't get them sent home from school.
No, it's not. Or- all of ANTI-FA are really white nationalists?

6. The Soviet Union fought against the Nazis.
How does your wife’s analogy work? And has she pointed out to these eegits that there is no such thing as the Soviet Union anymore?

13. She's my age, which means she grew up with the Cold War Soviet Union and not the "Fight the Nazis" one. I think her viseral reaction is in part having a military father and husband who served when the Soviets were clearly the bad guys. Someone earlier mentioned the hammer-and-sickle symbol is being used by the white nationalist movement as a "kinder and gentler" replacement for the swastika
.
kinda like Che t-shirts are really code whistles for white nationalism...

So, you don't own a Che' T-shirt or paraphernalia?
You opposed Chavez' and Maduro's destruction of Venezuela?
How does Trump's possible withdrawal the US from the INF Treaty not contradict Progs' beloved Trump-Russia Myth?

Hyper-politicizing children is a uniquely terrible leftist phenomenon. At 11 YO a child should be concerned with homework, TV and playing with their friends. NOT who is POTUS or how to hate.
This is Grand Theft Childhood. And the left REVELS in it. The irony is that liberals never grow up all the way. They force their children into adolescence before they are 10 YO and KEEP them there.
I really pity children of leftists.

I learned long ago to never ask a liberal how stupid they can be...
They are not only accepting it as a challenge, but whenever they reach the bottom of the stupid well, THEY START DIGGING!!!

Does this idiot even know why? (Hint to lurking DUmmies: Hitler invaded Russia.)

37. Yes. Much like those who wear the Che T-shirts with no idea of what a murderer he was.
But its "cool" and my friends have one! So many talk about being "non conformists" while conforming to this nonsense.
Wow!
