As I said in my original comment, he should offer his opinion and support, then stay out of it. She needs to make the decision, but badgering her from either side is unnecessary and infantalizing.

And that’s all that’s needed. He seems to be making it his mission to have her leave, but she has to come to that decision on her own. It’s not easy giving up on a marriage, especially when there are 4 kids involved.
*She* didn’t do anything wrong. She is not a criminal; all she did was get married and have kids with a no good guy. Daniel has already given his opinion and offered his support. He needs to leave it at that. She has her own decisions to make, and continuing to badger her if she makes a decision he doesn’t like is not…
Her parents think they are standing up for her too. I’m not saying that he is a terrible human being, I’m saying he and his parents need to back off because his sister is a grown damn woman who can make her own decisions. She doesn’t “need” to hear from him; if she WANTS his opinion or advice, it is her choice to be…
He’s not trying to force her to leave him. He’s saying that if she decides to leave, she has support from people who love her which doesn’t include the Duggars and her own fucking parents.
“Quiverfull” isn’t really what I’m talking about. Quiverfull seems to be a step (or a few steps) beyond even very traditional Biblical marriage. But even if he isn’t traditional, he is putting his nose where it’s not wanted evidently. It just smacks of infantalization. Some people stay after infidelity. Some people…
And continuing to infantalize her does what?
Honestly, Anna’s brother needs to stay out of it beyond telling her his opinion and offering her his support with whatever decision she makes. The same goes for their family and friends. Anna needs to decide for herself what she wants to do.
He doesn’t even seem vaguely interested in foreign policy. I read a description of him taking one of those trips to Israel required to make people seem “credible,” and he had ZERO idea of what the whole Israel thing was. He was asking extremely basic questions of a person at the airport about how it formed, why there…
He’s an asshole. Republicans love assholes. They want someone to put the liberals and minorities in their place. They want to kick ass and take names. If an asshole can do that using words with a minimum of syllables, he goes straight to the top of the polls. Think of the people they’ve supported in recent years:
How is a detailed policy on how to treat transgender people just “pretty words”? What “action” would satisfy you? Does the President have to personally invite trsnsgender detainees to stay at the White House?? Did you even read the guidance?
You’re ranting about how the President hasn’t done anything when you aren’t even informed about what he has done. When you find out he has addressed the situation, you move the goalpost. You can’t be bothered to learn what is going on, yet feel entitled to tell the man he’s not doing his job. I’m sure Barack Obama…
The committee says they’ve been meeting and researching, including interviewing transgender people, appropriate action for 6 months. This policy was not developed overnight.
He could tell her to STFU and GTFO because he had already assigned a task force months before to address the very issue she was being so rude about.
Considering she was an invited guest at a White House event, I doubt Obama was ignorant or unsympathetic to the issues she was concerned about.
His support for child predators Josh Duggar and Ted Nugent should be enough to let you know he is the incarnation of evil.
Woah!! Congrats!! Your commenting fame is bursting out of Jezebel’s seams!
Are these “participation” trophies though? “Best of the Batch” and “Student-Athlete” sound like legit accolades. Is he really telling his kids that being honored for being smart (which is what “Student -Athlete” usually means, right?) is nothing?
Finally, she’s gone! The flounce is complete.
