Let's try this scenario: You own a small grocery store. Out of the corner of your eye, you see a kid that's new in your shop (let's call him Joe) shop-lifting a $7.00 item. You restrain him and call his father. His father comes in and immediately says, 'Mary from down the street shop-lifted a $10.00 item yesterday. And Frank next door has figured a way to jimmy your back window and hangs out in your store on Sundays when you're closed. And the delivery truck driver who delivers the bread has cheated you a loaf of bread each delivery. And if YOU kept the $7.00 item in a case, my Joe would not have taken it."

As shop owner, I want to deal with the issue of Joe (and think his father should also). Perhaps I'm aware of Mary and Frank and the delivery truck driver or maybe Joe's father is unaware that maybe Mary didn't shop-lift (I gave her the item) or Frank has permission to be in the store on Sundays.

The above isn't a great analogy, but so many of you, when asked to play the role of 'Joe's father', constantly bring up Mary, Frank, and the driver and how it might be the fault of the shop-keeper. Actually, you've been bringing all you don't like about Obama up for about 10 years now and Hillary for at least 4. Believe me, we all know how you feel about them. But you haven't had years to voice opinion on the actions of Trump, so why not do it now? I find it interesting all the constant deflection and the personal aggression toward the other posters (which is also a deviation from the topics). Your guy is currently in the White House.  So defend or explain HIM on current issues.
