Ah.. the venerable "brother in law".

I'm sure he is a crack scientist.

When he's pardoned from prison for drug offenses, let us know. Meanwhile stay on top of it, you're doing swell.

Nepotism was rampant in the Obama era. Can you point to any posts in which you were bothered?

"Nepotism was rampant in the Obama era."

You have now made a specific, verifiable, claim, and accepted a burden of proof. If you cannot prove it, it didn't happen. It would be awfully hard for me to be upset over something that didn't happen.

Can you point to specific instances of an Obama relative or in-law given a position within a government agency that they weren't qualified for?

Get ready for 4 pages of

" are you really saying you're so stupid you don't know any examples of Obama's nepotism?"

And he won't name a single example.

He might go completely unhinged and threaten to beat you up though, so there's always that potential for entertainment.

Pretty much. "(smiley) (derision)" or just "(derision)", when you point out how lame the smiley thing gets when overused. I don't have him on ignore, but that doesn't mean I take any of his seriously. It is fun to watch him squirm occasionally when he puts his foot in it.

My umbrella was wider than that. Obama didn't seem to give a about much of his extended family; probably because they had the power to out his birth place among other factors. I just mean, look at Harry Reid and others.... It's okay, though; I'm sure you're not bothered, Mr. Burden Of Proof.

So you're just fine with Trump's nepotism?

Yes or no.

No. But I also don't pretend like this is a new mold.

No.

What don't you like about Trump's nepotism?

I'm not a Jared Kushner fan for starters. He's amateur hour like Hillary's campaign / Obama's administration.

Thread le is pretty gay, tbh.

@ a wider umbrella. An nepotisism umbrella that doesn't include family or extended family.

And Harrry Reid was an elected senator. Idiot.

Senators don't have power to get their family positions? Suspend yourself.

So you can't point to any specific instances of an Obama relative or in-law given a position within a government agency that they weren't qualified for.

At least you failed to back up your claim quickly. We didn't have to waste a lot of time.

So is it bad when unqualified people get jobs, solely because of who they are related to?

"wider umbrella" = I realized that I don't know what the ing word means, because I used it incorrectly, and want to pretend like I knew what it meant all along.

If you choose to be ignorant, that's your problem.

Bro, if you're following politics daily and need to have obvious stuff explained to you, then you're a team player. I'm not going to waste time putting forth stuff you want to deny with every fiber of your being.
