A tweet by Ivanka Trump @ivankatrump saying “I cannot believe that Theodore is eight months old today! Happy birthday little teddy bear!” with an admittedly cute picture of a child smiling. It has a reply from @blacknmild saying “this isn’t how birthdays work”

    Yeah, we took photos of the kids in the same chair each month in the first year. It wasn’t like we had parties, but this is normal new baby stuff. Plenty of legitimate reasons to hate the Trumps. Dogpiling on them for shit like this is petty and reinforces the right-wing narrative that the attacks are personal.

      I got plenty of personal attacks for them.

      If I speak up too loudly my wife and son have to flee the country.

      How’s that? Have I earned it? DO YOU MFERS HEAR ME

        That’s a valid reason to attack them. Like, physically. Not that I’m suggesting or condoning violence, but they are coming for our freedom. They aren’t doing it in tweets of baby pictures.

        Did you ever say “happy birthday” to them on those months?

        I honestly don’t remember, but it’s entirely possible we said “Happy 8 month birthday!” I didn’t tweet about it, but I didn’t tweet at all.

        Otherwise, I agree with you completely, I just think when we’re sending American children to death camps, the first (third?) family’s social media habits aren’t on the list of hills to die upon.
