Yeah, Let's Talk About indoctrinating Kids

      

     As one can reasonably expect, yesterday's Easter Egg roll at the White House was exploited as yet another partisan exercise right out of 1984, proving this White House, or what's left of it, holds nothing sacred. 

      I remember when new president Barack Obama spoke to schoolchildren in 2009 and gave anodyne advice such as, "Stay in school" and "work hard", Republicans lost their shit and screamed it was "indoctrination". They just didn't like it that a Black man was speaking to mostly white schoolchildren.

     This time around, we're hearing crickets and tumbleweeds from the Grand Old Party after a crazy old orange man was badmouthing Joe Biden and the autopen to children the same age. Yes, he did that. Don't forget the spectacle of Trump talking to kids on Christmas Eve ("Oklahoma was very good to me. I won there three times.").

     Think I'm making this up? Watch the video above.

     It's kind of surprising that Trump seems to have lost his mojo when it comes to talking to kids. After all, he'd had plenty of experience doing so at Jeffrey Epstein's island and townhouse, dispensing such pearls of wisdom such as, "I can do whatever the fuck I want!", "Shut the fuck up!" and that alltime classic, "Get a fucking abortion!"

     So then it was Melania's turn. That would be the Czech Republic's greatest advancement in robotics. A reporter asked her a softball question: "Madam First Lady, can you tell us your message to children who find themselves in war zones during this holy week?" The response?

     "Well, all of this is happening for their future. So they will be safe in years to come."

     Which I'm sure will come as a great relief to the 160+ schoolchildren we'd killed on February 28 when we bombed their elementary school back to Stone Age.
