Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I see a lot of people wishing harm on the guy. Do you guys even know anything about him? Because it seems you are all wishing him the worse just because of who his dad is. Shouldn't need saying that that is extremely fucked up.

i think it is frustration at the merciless and targeted killing of children during Israel's genocide in Gaza. Israel really went whole hog on killing kids and i will probably have nightmares of seeing those little souls gunned down or blown to bits intentionally by Israel

It's nice to see these remarks every now and then, really throws humanity back into us amidst our anger. Sometimes I think world leaders could use a bit of that lol

For all I bet most of us know, he could be a big POS, but he could also be someone normal who just happens to be son of a world leader. I just don't forecast getting worked up over the political life of a no-name son is quite the healthiest approach.

yep. guilt by association is toxic mentality... and yet people on here LOVE IT. They don't care about 'justice' they care about punishing who they perceive to be guilty of not being 'good'.

I bet half of the think their parents are racist, and by their logic they are also racist by association. The rules they apply to others, don't apply to themselves. THEY ARE THE EXCEPTION.

I've had weirdos tell me that I'm a Nazi because I did a project on Nazis in 10th grade and clearly if I did academic work on Nazism, I am clearly a secret Nazi. I also read The Origins of Totalitarianism in college, clearly FURTHER EVIDENCE of my guilt.
