The youngest star of TLC's Little People, Big World, who has been filming the show since he was about seven years old, has been speaking out more frequently about his dislike of filming and his desire to protect other reality stars from a childhood played out on T.V. screens
Jacob recently met Jack Hamill, star of Our Little Family. Jacob had this to say on Instagram about the encounter (click to enlarge):
The post garnered more than 2,500 likes in less than fourteen hours. (On average, Jacob's Instagram posts get 800-1200 likes each).
Well done, Jacob, and keep speaking out. You have a unique perspective not many others can claim to possess.

Hey Admin how about this candidate? http://www.gilbertformichigan.com/
Ingrid, 198...
I saw when this was posted last night. It was around 8:30 my time. (Central) So probably Eastern time 9:30 pm where Kate is so I figured she wouldn't have the kids with that late.

Well thanks Kokomo That was a good article but I didn't say that I drink nothing but Coke. I actually eat a pretty balanced diet but do like a Coke or beer with pizza. When I want a soda my drink of choice is Coke and if they only have Pepsi I'll pass. We didn't drink soda exclusively growing up but when we did it was Coke because that's what my mom bought. I was commenting on an earlier post from redbird about her cable guy being traumatized by dr pepper.

franky, maroon is a dark burgundy (like wine), with red tones, and mauve is much lighter, more like a pale purplish pink, with some grey and blue tones.

Why the heck is Hillary weighing in on all this Trump nonsense? It's not even worth her breath. Thank you Captain Obvious, yes Trump went "overboard." I hate to say it but it looks like trying to jump aboard the headline of the week.
I want to thank everyone again for being so respectful of each other. It's amazing we've been able to discuss this as long as we have had without any major blowups. I really don't think the elections will be as fun if we aren't able to discuss them here!
I heard the actual audio of Trump's Blood coming out wherever line on the radio this evening. After actually hearing it, I don't for one second believe he meant her period. He should have just apologized for how it sounded and for offending Megyn, and then let it go, it all would have gone away. That said, he's still number one in the polls.

I saw that, too, but I think this is a little kid tweeting this and he probably saw adults with her and thought they were her bodyguards, or else it was a typo. He also tweeted that he's "board."
Hi everyone! I've been busy with Cutest Grandbaby Ever and my Big Brother obsession. I could really use some rumspringa and adult conversation after hours of Itsy Bitsy Spider and old Sharon, Lois, and Bram songs.
I have some sangria also with lots of fruity embellishments! Can I have a green straw?

Yep, I agree. I listened to it, too, and I don't think that he meant anything other than she was out for blood. At this point, the media will scrutinize everything he says, twist it in a way that they want, wear him down to the point where he will be more focused on his treatment by the media than he will on the issues of this campaign.
I'm not so sure about apologizing to her, though. The media would blow it out of proportion, claiming that he knew exactly what he was saying (her period) and that's why he is apologizing. An apology wouldn't end it. It would just be more fodder for them.
He has a big mouth, and he will put his foot in it so many times until this is over, so will the media expect him to apologize to everyone who thinks he has stepped on their toes?
He also tweeted that he's "board."

Lol, cute. I get it, it must be terribly boring when all you have for entertainment is just a board!

Yes, it seems that poor widdle Hillary is being left out and needs some press time! She has to get her ego fix, too, you know!
Yep, I agree. I listened to it, too, and I don't think that he meant anything other than she was out for blood.
&&&&
I agree, and he made a similar comment about some other journalist, a male.
OUT FOR BLOOD is the cliche he is looking for. He did sort of a malaprop. You know how you're searching for that right cliche but you say it half wrong or a little wrong? That was Trump. He realized halfway through saying it that wasn't quite right, he kind of said, "or whatever" and then moved on, never able to quite think of the cliche he was looking for. Nothing more nothing less.
I think if Trump meant to say she was on the rag he would have just said so, bluntly!
Again, he should have just apologized and said that's not what he meant, then ignored everything else. Although who am I to tell him what to do, his campaign is going just fine for him.
He is using this incident to prove his point. See, the evil liberal media just turns everything innocent around against you and wants you to be politically correct all the time. The media is playing right into his hands, hook line and sinker.
Yes, it seems that poor widdle Hillary is being left out and needs some press time! She has to get her ego fix, too, you know!

She should shut up and be happy that email disaster is boring compared to this. She might have had to drop out by now if that had gained any more traction.
In typical politician fashion, she doesn't know when to STFU. In that respect she's just like Trump.
My straw is green, and I have it right here, so no worries, franky. Kokomo and anyone else who wants to come under, come on down. There's plenty of room here -- more room down here than on the veranda, actually. And FlimsyFlamsy -- the brats I mentioned are the kind you eat, not the kind you try to ignore, LOL.
If Megyn wants to be a class act, then she should have said that those questions are unacceptable to her and she won't discuss her sex life, or the size of her husband's penis. Period.
&&&&
I have to agree. Discussing that wasn't classy and it was demeaning to women no matter how consensual it was.
It's not exactly the same as calling another woman an offensive name, I agree. But it's in the same vicinity. The point was she's been pearl clutching, when she herself has said some pretty nasty and demeaning things about sex.
She allowed Stern to make her a sex object, and she allowed her sex life to define who she is. She allowed herself to be objectified.
I'm not saying a woman cannot discuss sex with someone like Howard Stern, however, I think it's demeaning and objectifying. It's not like you're discussing sexual dysfunction with Dr. Oz. That's different. You're reducing yourself and your value to how you perform in the bedroom. Another test too is would you ask a man the same thing? I bet not.
She had a choice to not answer those questions, and instead she opened the door. She now acts horrified that someone would open the door just two doors down on something similar. I get why Trump finds this troubling.
Aggiemom -- I neglected to welcome you back! I'm sorry. It's so good to hear from you. You have been missed. Hope to see much more from you. Welcome to the under-veranda party. No crocs, no pearls, just plenty of rumspringa and good company.
Again, he should have just apologized and said that's not what he meant, then ignored everything else. Although who am I to tell him what to do, his campaign is going just fine for him.
******************
Yes, in a 'normal' situation, an apology would have been the way to go, taking the high road, saying you're sorry if the comment were taken the wrong way. However, this time I think an apology would have been construed by his opponents and the media as an admission of guilt, no matter how he would have phrased such an apology.
Hillary only entered the discussion because she was asked. She got very annoyed. She finally held a press conference, allowed reporters to ask any question, took 20 questions, and 10 were ABOUT TRUMP. So she did not choose to enter the fray, the press just can't leave it alone. There are plenty of questions to ask Hillary without mentioning Trump.

Agree- after seeing the remark, he was searching for the words and blurted "wherever" out.
Also agree that it would have been smart to apologize for misspeaking and move on.
He's his own worst enemy, which isn't surprising outside of his eponymous empire.
I, like Admin, am so pleased to see respectful banter concerning politics! I've been pretty blunt (I'm blaming old age) about my opinion on Trump and no one has banished me to sit in time out with a dirty slice of pizza! ("you sit there until you change your opinion!") lol aww, crazy Kate!
I haven't listened to the audio of Trump's 'or wherever' comment, but will take the word if Admin and another poster who believe he truly didn't mean what it obviously implied.
As Sherry Baby said, I am moving on. Lol
I bet it wont't be too long before Trump says something offensive!
(He has stolen the spotlight from Hillary's emails, Bill Cosby, and the Duggars!

Frank Gifford was one helluva good looking man in his day, and he aged well into his 80's. He still had "it" and carried himself well.
I'd say the same for Tony Bennett. The man still has it.
I think that's what his daughter was alluding to, and she grew up seeing her mother totally in love with her handsome husband. Kathy Lee talked about his good, although aging, looks up until he died.
Those two made 2 great looking kids.
It might be a way to say the lady angels are swooning right now, and I think it's sweet.
The family is showing amazing courage and positivity.

And a few new lurkers!
I too was stunned when I read Cassidy Gifford's comment about her father. It was a touching tribute but I think the descriptive word "stud" might have been better left 'unsaid'.
Maybe it is the cynic in me, but she is an aspiring actress and her choice of 'word' will garner her a lot of publicity - follow-up interviews, etc.
bm
As far as Trump's bleeding comment, he has only himself to blame that people jumped to that conclusion. If he did not have a pattern of making debasing and sexist comments, then he might have been given some leeway on that comment.
He is a distraction of the media's making--they love to cover a circus. The truth of the matter is that the guy has no strategic political alliances--which of the current candidates will toss him their endorsement when they drop out? When Shrub (George W) ran, I thought there was no way he could win. However, I underestimated the power of his political connections and the strength of the conservative right. The conservative right is not going to rally around Trump, who decided yesterday that he is no longer pro-choice. Even the other rich white guy, Romney, couldn't get those folks enthusiastic about him--and he had powerful political connections.
Trump makes sexual comments about his own daughter, but people who misunderstand him are deviants?
"eponymous"
There's a word you don't see every day.
It's my opinion he knew exactly what he was talking about. The tone in the "wherever" comment made it clear...."the bitch was on the rag" is the only explanation in his mind why he would ask him such questions. When called on it ...only deviant minds would think such a thing! .....eye roll ....
He's a misogynist , a racist, a terrible human being. And is making a laugh stock of the U.S. It's all so very unseemly and gross. No dignity at all.
It's my opinion that DT knew exactly what he was saying w the "whatever" ...,the tone he used when he said it implies just that-that bitch MUST BE on the rag for her to ask me such things how dare she ....
He's a misogynist, a racist , a terrible human being and he's making a laughing stock of this whole process as if it isn't bad enough already.

Wowee. A 22 year old young woman just lost her father. I'm sure she didn't expect him to live long enough to see her children, his grandchildren but certainly perhaps long enough to see her get married in walk her down the aisle. I find that extraordinarily insensitive and presumptuous.
losing a parent is painful but the first one is particularly painful.

A bit OT but I have to agree about Tony Bennett. I saw him perform several years ago & the highlight of the show was when he sang "Fly Me To The Moon' acapella without a microphone. Yes, he definitely still has "it".

I don't know about that. Did you listen to the audio? On no planet would any reasonable person have drawn that conclusion.
The problem is in written form it just sounded off. Even I immediately jumped to the rag as did others here.
I have to give him this one, the media was looking for something like that and twisted something completely around to suit their agenda. Then they showed us the print form, without bothering to include the audio which put it in context. I only found the audio on my conservative radio station. Funny.
But like I said regardless whose fault it was he should have just immediately apologized and moved on. He made a much bigger deal than he had to. There is nothing wrong with apologizing when you misspeak, even innocently. We all misspeak, words get jumbled, things come out wrong.
Maybe it is the cynic in me, but she is an aspiring actress and her choice of 'word' will garner her a lot of publicity - follow-up interviews, etc.

------
Maybe I'm naive, but I doubt she was thinking about furthering her 'career' with a comment about her father's death. The news reports said his passing was unexpected so I would imagine she was trying to express how wonderful she thought her father was by calling him a "stud of an angel" in between expressing that she lost her best friend & that he was an incredible man. The word is used to mean "bad-ass" in this day & age...isn't it interesting how the english language evolves.

Did you listen to it and not just read it?
I'm agreeing with admin on this one. He was looking for the cliche, "out for blood" and just messed up. If he wanted to say she was having her period, he would have said something like "it's her time of the month." He wouldn't fool around with it and mince words. He'd come right out and say it. If one hates him and thinks he's an idiot, then they'll take those words and believe whatever they want to believe about it, no matter how he explains it.
The media has an agenda and they are going to milk it for all it's worth. They will be picking apart and twisting everything he says. This is only the beginning. If he has a snowball's chance in winning this thing, he needs to watch his mouth and his criticism of others..
Even the other rich white guy, Romney, couldn't get those folks enthusiastic about him--and he had powerful political connections.
******************
I think that's because he was such a wuss. His platform was nebulous. You couldn't figure out which side of the fence he was on, despite powerful political connections. He couldn't connect with the people. He was just "there."
It might be a way to say the lady angels are swooning right now, and I think it's sweet.

That's what sealed the deal for me. He doesn't tip toe around.
It's Trump. If he wants to say she was on the rag, he will say "she was on the rag."
He doesn't play the imply or hint game that the other fake politicians do, I'll give him that.
You could hear in his voice the struggle to find the right cliche. He couldn't draw it up, he said "whatever" and moved on. How someone gets "period" out of that I have to scratch my head over.
Hillary only entered the discussion because she was asked. She got very annoyed. She finally held a press conference, allowed reporters to ask any question, took 20 questions, and 10 were ABOUT TRUMP. So she did not choose to enter the fray, the press just can't leave it alone

I need someone to explain this to me because I'm just not getting it. I'm not up on internet slang:
====
Maybe she's just heard her mom call him a stud a gazillion times and so she thinks it was one of his great attributes. I remember an interview Kathie Lee did years ago, after Gifford had a tryst with that flight attendant which had been a set-up by some tabloid, where she said she forgave Frank and they made up by spending a lot of time in bed making love so he could feel forgiven. lol!
Personally I would have given him the old heave-ho after the scandal with the flight attendant, because he was apparently quite the horndog.
He was a great athlete, but I found his sports commentaries expressionless and quite boring.
Whatever. May he rest in peace.
Lordy Bee! The girl's father, whom she adored, just died. Give her a break!
Kate, where are you? We're running low on things to b*tch about.
Oooh! Sparkly green straw! Love it!
Franky, I'm just going to stay under her until the presidential elections are done. I don't want to deal with the theatrics, and at this point it is all theater. Thanks so much for making room!
I just have to check the Big Brother live feeds every ten minutes.. that's not too much, is it?
If Trump had simply explained/apologized for mis speaking, he could have avoided this.

But "one stud of an angel"?
I'm not saying she didn't love and adore him, but that is a rather odd acknowledgement of the man coming from his daughter.
I guess I just don't always yield to the idea of canonizing people just because they died.
Midnight Madness #68 - I too think it was an unfortunate choice of words to refer to her late father as a "stud". I had forgotten about the reports of his dalliance with the flight attendant but the recent reports of his death reminded me of the story and, together with context of those reports, I just thought 'wow, not the way a daughter should refer to her Dad'.

I think people here are being hard on Cassidy Gifford. She's not looking for attention because her beloved father died suddenly. If she wanted attention, all she's got to do is hang out w/ the Kartrashians, whom her parents were Godparents to two of the Jenner girls. She's had the same boyfriend since high school, which is a long time, considering she's spending most of her time at school in LA. Not every one is sinister. Give the girl a break.
I guess I just don't always yield to the idea of canonizing people just because they died.
*****
Can we please stop ripping apart young miss Giffords remarks about her father who just died? whoever said it is rIght. We need Katie to do something stupid again so we stop picking on people who don't deserve to be picked upon.
including and especially when they are grieving over the sudden loss of their beloved father.
Oh JOY! You have life-feeds on the hamsters? Please, I insist you sit by me, I can adjust my tin-foil hat to make sure the reception is good down here! Not that I watch that show at all, lol ( not even the Canadian version)
If these sheeple are such huge Kate Gosselin fans, as they proclaim in their profiles, wouldn't you think that they would know where she has been? The funny thing is that nobody is bothering to tell them. Not even her biggest cheerleader and PR rep, Milo, is there to inform them that Kate is in Florida, busy filming, and when she returns Kate certainly will tweet them and tell them how wonderful her vacation was and that she dearly loves her tweeties.

No?
But "one stud of an angel"?
I'm not saying she didn't love and adore him, but that is a rather odd acknowledgement of the man coming from his daughter. (AuntieAnn, 78)...

I just think it was a bad choice of words. I would also think that before she commented on his death perhaps she should have run that by her mother/family members to see if it was appropriate. Sometimes these youngsters just don't think before they tweet, or how it could be interpreted. She obviously loved her father and wanted to memorialize him in some way, but the "stud" remark could call forth memories of his philandering that have been forgotten and are best left behind him.
what is the term for twitter sheeple? would that be twitterites? I know normal ones are called tweeters. tweeples? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
From the Busby Quints' FB:
'We have been working with [TLC] since before the birth of these very special quints and are so excited to have documented this incredible story of God’s grace poured out on our lives. .. We truly believe that the only reason that we have been given this great opportunity to share our story and have a voice to potentially millions of people is because of our faithfulness in Christ. With all of the craziness in the world right now, we can’t help but wake up smiling when we see these little miracles and we hope that our family has brought a smile to your home also.
One of the main things that we hear from people that know and care for us is about the negatives of what this much attention has done to some families. All I can say… We are the Busbys! We have surrounded ourselves with an incredible support group from our family, church and close friends that help to keep us grounded and accountable"
Sounds familiar?

I agree. I'm not getting this at all. I guess I just don't care. Perhaps the word "stud" is offensive to some people? I hope the media isn't freaking out over this.
Actually I really don't give a rat's patoot about what Trump said either. He's a showboater and he doesn't deserve all this media attention.
There are a lot of twidiots out there, franky. That term is probably too broad tho.

TWIDIOTS ! Yes, that was the word I was looking for, thanks Joy!, have some of my personal blueberry rumspringa! But don't tell anyone I buried a few barrels down here, ok?
As Peggy Hill once said, that Busbys post "gives me the heebiest
of jeebies." It's as if the only way to document what has happened
to them is through TLC's cameras. Ever heard of home movies?
Journaling? Sharing stories with "the people who know and care
about you" only? Or will only sharing it with millions of strangers do?
Here's a fun exercise. Read that post, and at the same time, watch
one of the TFW's Worst Moments montages on Youtube. Or simply
take a gander at the latest beach shots of America's Former Favorite Christian Mom Of Multiples flaunting her tummy tuck, implants,
hair extensions, botox, and whatever other enhancements TLC
has funded.
I hope the Busbys stay authentic, but their post has me questioning their conviction.
I agree with Joy, franky, twidiots is a broad term, applicable to many. Personally I prefer tweeple for twitter sheeple.

Oh, yes, Formerly, it sure does. If the Busby's think anyone is falling for their prosperity gospel b.s., they're nuts.

Perhaps 1%ers have a different code? ( Trump did say he'd date his daughter if she hadnt been his daughter).. I'm just being snarky!
I thought the young Gifford's tribute to her Dad was sweet-- who knows, maybe it was a long-running joke between the 2 of them.
I quit watching Live a fuckety million years ago, Kathie's cackling laugh was like nails on a chalkboard!
No marriage is perfect and they seemed to have worked through their difficulties-- and from the articles I've read it sounds like the kids are pretty good kids.
:)
Now back to Trump...... Lol
His children surely adored him and I would expect they'd pay a loving tribute to him, which Cassidy did. The harsh reality of having parents who are very public personalities is that your words are going to be scrutinized no matter what you said or meant by them.
I simply wouldn't make a remark like that about my father who had just passed. Different strokes is all. Yes, moving on.
I like tweeple too...I wonder if we use it enough here will it be picked up for next years Urban dictionary?
OT- I watch Live almost every day now, love Michael and Kelly, after years of not being able to, I agree about that voice. I do send her my sincerest sympathies though, it was apparent she absolutely adored her husband and he did seem like a good guy.
Can't stand anything to do with the Donald though, at all.
Kathie Lee called Frank all sorts of names- love muffin, human love machine-- perhaps Stud was a word of endearment /teasing.

Perhaps. But if you're not a Kathie Lee fan, nor have watched her on various shows, the public wouldn't know this and would question why a daughter would refer to her father this way. It just might seem a bit odd to many people..

Yes, but in the context of his past known affairs while he was married, it was just a poor choice of words.

Did Gifford have more affairs other than that one night affair with the flight attendant?

I have no idea if he meant she was menstruating or not. My point is that someone else, who does not have a pattern of misogynistic and demeaning comments, would probably have the benefit of the doubt. And, yes, I saw the clip.

Who knows? Is it really important? The man has died. What he may or may not have done in his life is over. The past is the past.

I guess I'm not getting your point. So one should not give him the benefit of the doubt because he allegedly made sexual (?) comments about his own daughter, and therefore it is logical to assume he meant Kelly was having her period?
From what I remember, he was asked if his daughter would pose in Playboy and he said that he couldn't speak for her, but he didn't think that she would, but she does have a nice figure and if she weren't his daughter, perhaps he'd be dating her. Is that a sexual comment? Is it graphic? I don't know. I thought he was joking, that it was a comment about himself because he has always preferred younger women.

I've always thought it was somewhat funny when, in the middle of a woman speaking on Celebrity Apprentice, Trump's eyes would glaze over not listening until he would finally interrupt her and say, "Isn't she beautiful! Isn't she just fantastic? Don't you think so?" Lol, wtf?!
He had no patience for anyone boring to speak at all. He would cut people off within a sentence or two if he got bored. He did it to Kate all the time, which was hysterical. For once she wasn't getting her soapbox to drone on and on. He had no time for her.
Rand Paul/the Limburgh baby is whining about how Trump's kids have never worked a minimum wage job in their lives. I really don't have much sympathy for him. They can't go around saying Trump is being nasty, when they start insulting his children too. Plus, how does he know that? Is he sure? His comments are completely unwarranted. Trump has raised generally great kids who worked hard both in school and ALL work full time jobs. Ivanka especially seems like a wonderful woman. It is not a requirement that every child work a minimum wage job. It's more important they are working at all.
These other candidates are playing their cards all wrong. They're clueless how to handle him. Trump is going to take this thing all the way home at this rate, just because everyone else is being a dolt.
Thank you Flimsy for the welcome....I appreciate it!.....Kelly Rutherford has garnered attention for her custody battle with her ex husband. Apparently she played dirty and lost but has won sympathy from the Hollywood community and even Washington DC...but she apparently set her husband up and the court saw trough it...so she is losing her kids. Its another situation where the poor children are the pawns in a cruel chess game by narsicctic (sp) parents...Very sad situation...
he didn't think that she would, but she does have a nice figure and if she weren't his daughter, perhaps he'd be dating her. Is that a sexual comment?
&&&&
No, it was a joke, and one that I think Ivanka would take very well. She takes her dad in stride and adores him. She is NOTHING like him, she couldn't be more classier, but she rolls with all his punches. Just like I'm sure Ivanka could make the same joke about dating him if they weren't related, and he would just laugh.
I always appreciated Ivankka's WTF face whenever Kate had yet another hair brained idea.
I don't have that sort of relationship with Dad where we could joke about that, but they obviously do.
I love this blog...its taken me years to comment here...Ty...I don't mean to be off topic but I do find the Kelly Rutherford situation a matter of children being caught in the middle of parents who thrive on attention without regard for the consequences to children....who have yet to find their voice.
I have only very loosely followed the Rutherford case.
My problem with cases like this and why I find them a little bit frustrating to try to follow, is the same as Jon and Kate's battle. We don't know everything. We just hear bits and pieces and unless we see all the documents, talk to the parties and sit in court, we only get 1/10th of the story. I can't make heads or tails of who is the bad guy here if anyone, if these decisions are right, or what. Clearly she hid things from him like the birth of her child, but apparently he may have ties to some serious and questionable activity like the drug trade.
I would like to track down the Supreme Court opinion from a couple years ago on this, it should be public record, but even that is going to be old information.
What is somewhat interesting is apparently California is now saying they don't have jurisdiction over this family, and New York said the same. What is also interesting is that their on paper "50-50" custody order involved the children residing most of the time in Monaco. Obviously, that's not going to be 50-50 with her career here.
The children should be given their own attorney here in L.A. with a case this messy. I know several of them over in family court. Children aren't voiceless here.

Thanks, admin. I didn't remember there being sexual comments, but I don't follow everything that goes on with him, and I didn't consider that one comment (about him dating her) as being sexual in nature. I just don't see it, but perhaps not everyone's definition of "sexual" is the same.
Ivanka must have inherited good manners and class from her mother because they are obviously two attributes her father sorely lacks. Those and good looks. She appears to have a great sense of humor from what I can tell from watching her on CA.

Oh Admin, you have to read it: http://harris-ginsberg.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Statement-of-Decision.pdf
I only followed it loosely too, and after reading that, I am positive she is a parental-alienating narcissistic psychopath
I wish I could c/p some of that Order, but it's scanned in and not copiable. It's quite a read! She stonewalled her husband from jump street. The judge called her a gatekeeper mother which I had to look up also means parental alienator.
Yes, I consider him saying he would date his daughter a sexual comment, particularly in view of the fact that it was in response to a question about posing for Playboy. And no, I am not aware of other comments, so I stand corrected.
Interesting that in the same topic, we are discussing Cassidy's comment as well. Just because the women are comfortable with it or laugh it off doesn't make it appropriate. It just means that this is probably what they grew up with and are used to. If Trump says this publicly, what does he say privately?
How many of the posters here who thought that the comment was just fine, and not at all creepy or crossing a boundary, would be comfortable with their own husbands publicly commenting on their own daughter's body and joking about dating her. Call me naive, but I thought fathers are supposed to be protective. I would have thought an appropriate response to the Playboy question would have been mor along the lines of "hey, that's my daughter we are talking about."
This is not about partisanship--it is about a person who has a pattern of degrading women--whether by belittling, name calling, criticism or sexualizing (ie the comment to a CA contestant about getting on her hands and knees).

You know his comment was so controversial it warrants its own Snopes page, and they have pretty much debunked it!
You have to look at the context. He was on The View, where the interviews are usually lighthearted and joking. The ladies were JOKING about Ivanka and what he would think of her in Playboy. He didn't bring his daughter up himself. It was the question from the ladies that was arguably inappropriate, asking him personal feelings about how he would feel about his daughter. Asking him hypotheticals about his own children IMO is borderline RUDE. It's not like he made some offhand comment about Ivanka. It was provoked, and it was made in a setting that traditionally encourages joking and not taking things seriously.
In context, I think he handled it quite well, the idea of her being brought up like that and him being put on the spot. He deflected it with a joke. And before he made the joke, he actually said he wouldn't want her to do that and he didn't think SHE would want to either.
There's a lot I think is over the top about that man, but a simple joke to deflect a somewhat inappropriate question, is harmless. Obviously, he would not ever date his own biological daughter.
http://m.snopes.com/donald-trump-date-daughter/
I pose a similar rhetorical question to you. How would you, as a parent, feel about some women you hardly know asking you how you would feel if your child posed for Playboy? Because I for one think that question is RUDE. None of their darn business and how dare they suggest that.

All of the above. Pass the crackers.
It seems like Trump takes his comments one sentence too far. Both times if he'd stopped one or two sentences earlier there would be no hoopla, and the questioner would be shown up as the rude person they are. But instead Trump has to take his answer too far and ends up looking the buffoon.
I gotta admit, though, it was great when he cut TFW's blathering off...every time.

Exactly what HE should have said. A couple of years ago, Jason Alexander was on the Bill Maher show. IMO, he is total pg. He started making disgusting sexual remarks about, I think, Paris Hilton. Jason Alexander, who has a daughter, completely shut him dow.bThat is what a protective father does. If Trump is such a straight shooter, why didn't he shut them down?
Speaking of the latest exploited multiples(Busbys?), I have a question for everyone here. A few weeks ago, the parents of the "Quad Squad" took them out for a "meet and greet". Basically they took their barely immunocompetent, premature 6 months old to a public place to show them off like monkeys in a circus and encouraged people to come ogle at the girls. Here's my question: Am I overreacting, or you guys find it disgusting too? Would you do this with your own kids?

I don't think the children were any more at risk than when at home with probably their daily scrum of caretakers, but yes, it is disgusting how hard and fast these children are being exploited.
This is like J+K+8 on steroids.
The Busbys are delusional in their thinking that they are somehow immune to the very real and severe risks of becoming reality tv personalities.
They will change and probably become drunk with money, fame an power. Divorce will follow, as will paps, tabloids and the whole media circus shebang.
Heck, maybe Steve will hitch his wagon to them, as Kate's star is most definitely waning.

Agree- the ladies instigated the conversation and Trump went along. Nothing lascivious about it.
I'll tell you what icked me out father/daughter-wise was Brian Williams saying he watched his daughter's sex scene on "Girls".
It was just gross that he would even comment on it in such a casual way.
I think any father would want to peel his skin off watching his daughter act out a scene where she's getting a rim job whist her butt cheeks are motor boarded.
Now, there's a weird guy.

I agree. She's always struck me as hysterical. The judge just didn't decide one day that her kids should live in Monaco. This has been a long road and Rutherford is STILL defying court orders, just recently refusing to put her kids back on a plane to France.
She needs to deal with reality and stop putting her kids through this emotional turmoil.
I heard just this morning that when she packed up the kids and left California, she lost the protection the state afforded.
. This has been a long road and Rutherford is STILL defying court orders, just recently refusing to put her kids back on a plane to France.
.....
Then yesterday she showed up at court without the kids against orders to bring them. The judge was not happy and must have threaten her with jail time cuz the kids were brought to court then straight to the airport. She reminds me of my ex's wife who will pull shenanigans after shenanigans and never learn from the past.
Tucker's Mom (#145), oh, wouldn't it be a hoot if Steve defected to
the Busbys?! He's got kids to put through college, and a new gravy
train might be very appealing to jump on. All aboard!
I thought it was not only delusional, but arrogant, of the family
to claim that nothing would change them because "We're the
Busbys!" They've already shown their hand by saying their
relationship started with TLC while the babies were in utero.
Tossing the word "blessings" in every other sentence is not

Basically they took their barely immunocompetent, premature 6 months old to a public place to show them off like monkeys in a circus and encouraged people to come ogle at the girls. Here's my question: Am I overreacting, or you guys find it disgusting too? Would you do this with your own kids?
------------------------
Since they are also being filmed by TLC, I don't find it surprising. TLC is filming them for a series about first time parents. I found this article that was posted about them just after the quads were born. Here is what it says about TLC filming them:
"The couple has partnered with TLC to document and share their “amazing adventure.” Throughout the upcoming months, the network will follow the family in a series about first-time parents and their newborns. The series will premiere in late 2015.
Tyson said he and Ashley are excited to bring their followers along during the journey.
“TLC has been incredible to us. They’ve helped us out a lot,” he said. “We have the best birth video ever. We have the best home footage to show our daughters when they want to see how they came into this world. There’s no way I could’ve got that on a GoPro or iPhone.”
Ashley said she wants the show to be something their daughters will treasure.
“For me personally, I don’t have very many baby pictures. It was just different back then,” the 27-year-old mom said of her own birth. “It just makes sense to keep documenting.”
Tyson said he isn’t worried about caring for the girls and doesn’t feel pressure from TLC about the show. He thinks he and Ashley will be just fine.
“God has a plan for us and he’s trusted us with four babies,” Tyson said. “We have faith in him and we have faith in each other.”

You notice how all these families, Gosselins, Busbys, Gardners, ALL have the same talking points? "We're making memories", "God has a plan for us", "We'll be just fine".
Does TLC write the talking points for them? It's just seems it's "lather, rinse, repeat" when it comes to these shows.
I wonder if Kate and the kids are home now. Last recent sighting that I can find it this from Aug. 9.
xxxxx @xxxxx · Aug 9
Just saw Kate plus 8 in Florida! #UsedToBeCool
MirandaSings concert is tomorrow in Reading. Wouldn't be surprised if TLC got them VIP tickets. Maybe they'll film part of that for the show too.
Then when Kate finally shows up on twitter she'll be complaining about all the things that have to get done before school starts. Don't they go back in 2 weeks?
ROL's a little late to the party. They're just now reporting that Kate took the kids to Florida and that their vacation was filmed.
http://radaronline.com/exclusives/2015/08/kate-gosselin-and-kids-spotted-filming-kate-plus-8-vacation-special/
"According to a source, Kate Gosselin and her children were spotted late last week filming a vacation special for their hit TLC show, Kate Plus 8. According to the source, the family was enjoying the sun in Destin, Florida, about to head out into the ocean blue for a fishing trip!"
Wonder if Kate or TLC is the "source"? Have to get Kate's name back in the news, even if they're reporting something that we've known for almost 2 weeks.
KIAT (#152), I said the same thing last week about TFW jumping
back on Twitter for back-to-school sympathy! She has 8 kids,
you know, which makes it about a schmillion times harder.
Meanwhile, they've already filmed the family shopping. And
it sure must take the edge off the stress when you've just been
away on a paid vacation.
I'd heard the talk about Trump saying something about dating his daughter. I didn't know the context, but thought it an odd thing to say.
Now that I know the context, I don't see how The View ladies are any different than Howard Stern. Stern is further down the path, but they're both on the same path.
They both ask inappropriate questions, and then go all "ain't I cute? I asked an inappropriate question, and the person answered. Ain't I cute?" Titter, titter, giggle, giggle.
In both cases, Trump & Kelly, they could have shut that down in a polite way, but didn't. Trump did a better job of responding without engaging, whereas Kelly actively engaged.
Trump, in his defense, probably didn't expect to get asked such a stupid question, and probably was just answering with whatever came to mind, and got carried away with the answer, a la the way he got the metaphor wrong with the blood comment.
Kelly, OTH, knew exactly what she was getting herself into with Stern, in that he is known for that kind of inappropriate talk, and chose to engage anyway. She's not the "innocent" she tries to portray herself as.
And it sure must take the edge off the stress when you've just been

For the fifth time this year.

But Kelly, Stern and The View ladies aren't running for president. What scares me most about Trump is he shoots his mouth off before he thinks it through (Kelly is a good example).
I can't see how Trump can bring unity-- all he's done so far is divide, scoff, ridicule, threaten, ect.
On another note, those that said Obama didn't have enough political exoerience and those that are backing Trump-- whose only political experience is buying future favors.
Blech
But Kelly, Stern and The View ladies aren't running for president.
True. That's the scary part.
But Kelly, Stern and The View ladies aren't running for president. What scares me most about Trump is he shoots his mouth off before he thinks it through (Kelly is a good example).
********
And Kelly is a good example of shooting her mouth off, too. What would have been interesting when she asked Donald the question of his treatment of women is if Donald would have fired back and asked her about specifics, when and to whom did he refer to women in those terms. She must have done her research, and if so, she should have told him what he said, when, and in what context. A journalist would have documentation at his/her disposal and as such, should have been able to provide those details instead of making a generalized statement.
If asking Donald that question was fair, and it's no-holds barred in this campaign, then it's only fair that Mrs. Clinton should be asked about her husband's affairs with Gennifer, Paula and Monica...what she knew, if she were covering up for him, and so forth, as well as her relationship with Foster, and Whitewater. Let's put it all on the table.
Speaking of Hillary, it seems that she has a bit of 'splaining to do. At first she denied having classified e-mails and she wouldn't turn over her server. Then she erased e-mails (which I understand is a felony), and now it's come out that not only were there classified e-mails, but Top Secret, SENSITIVE Compartmented Information (SCI) e-mails and it was ordered that the server be turned over. I think with this new information the public may really doubt her trustworthiness. You just can't deny that there were no e-mails and then erase them. It should be interesting to see how all of this turns out.
Speaking of the View, this morning's show was vomit inducing. It was inappropriate, bleeping out words. You couldn't hear the actual beep but you notice the silence when they were talking.
I couldn't grab the remote quick enough!
I think the point that a few are making here is that Kelly is NOT the innocent, and no, she's not running for President, but she was giddy and out for blood when she asked the question. She went on Stern's show knowing exactly what kind of format he ran, and she answered very personal questions that most women would refuse to answer, and then she turns around and spits at Donald for degrading women when she herself sat in an interview and talked about sex and penises (peni?). If nothing else, it's hypocritical.

Why all the mud slinging at Megyn Kelly? She has not said one thing about DT's statement. She's not whining, it's the rest of the media.
Ex-nurse, I agree with you, DT should have shut that crap about his daughter down.
I'm on my fuckety-hundredth vacation and can't sign in but I'm reading to keep up.
P.J.
Then when Kate finally shows up on twitter she'll be complaining about all the things that have to get done before school starts. Don't they go back in 2 weeks?
&&&
Remember when Kate said that she couldn't possibly plan anything (such as meet and greets with fans) in August because she needs the entire month to get ready for school?
Tossing the word "blessings" in every other sentence is not
going to convince me that they aren't just as mercenary as
everyone else.
&&&&
"Blessings" is the buzzword, the code word, for "GIVE ME." It worked for Kate and the Duggars. Why mess with something when you know that you'll have success with it?
This is off-topic, but FYI, Michelle Duggar has managed to be on TV again, at least here in northwest Arkansas. The City of Fayetteville is again considering a civil rights ordinance to protect LGBT individuals. Mrs. Duggar does live in the same county, but not within the city limits of Fayetteville. As I am a Fayetteville resident, I was "treated" to her fearmongering robocall on this topic some months ago. Now I've seen her, albeit briefly in a non-speaking role, on a local TV newscast showing what I gathered were some of the leaders of the anti-ordinance group. I noticed that she looked relatively disheveled (in other words, how most ordinary people look in real life) as compared to how I've seen her and other people look on reality TV shows with their hair and makeup all professionally done, etc. I also recall that a few years ago she inserted herself into local decision-making in the City of Springdale -- where she also wasn't a resident -- when a liquor store location was being considered. I find it interesting that she has time to involve herself with local issues in communities where she doesn't live.
You just can't deny that there were no e-mails and then erase them. It should be interesting to see how all of this turns out.

Yes, seems this is not another Vast Right Wing Conspriacy (VRWC), but perhaps a real ServerGate.

People go onto Stern's show for a reason. In Kelly's case, she's showing the wilder side of the stereotypical buttoned-down conservative Fox talking head.
It's PR and image engineering.
There wasn't a question she didn't see coming, and none she wasn't prepared for with a nuanced answer.
I hope I'm not sounding like a pearl clutcher or old fogey (I'm neither), but I've read a few of the timelines from some of Kate's younger fans. She certainly does attract them, doesn't she? I know there are older fans, adults, parents, grandparents who should know better and it's too late for them, but my gosh - the mouths on those kids. Where are the parents? Don't these kids realize that what they tweet, as well as photos, and what they post on blogs and FB could eventually be in the hands of prospective employers? If I were looking for an employee and came across some of that filth, I'd say, "I'm sorry, but that position has been filled." I realize that many of these are teens and 20-somethings who don't know any better, but good grief, isn't there anyone in their families to rein them in and advise them that you just don't put those things out there?

"...In a newly televised interview, she did defend her questions at Thursday's GOP debate, saying that asking him about sexist remarks "wasn't an attack."
Kelly defended her probing questions to Fox media critic Howard Kurtz in an interview taped Friday and aired Sunday. She said the question was fair.
"I'm sure nerves were high as they were for all of the candidates. He felt attacked. It wasn't an attack," Kelly said. "It's okay with me that there's some consternation. He'll get over that and we'll be fine."
She also remarked that she can deal with the flak about her handling of Trump: "It's okay. I'm a big girl. I can take it."

Yes, this is serious business, not your garden variety digging for dirt by the opponents. I was watching a late night broadcast yesterday and it seems that Hillary may be in some serious trouble with these two e-mails that allegedly were sent and contained sensitive classified information. Word is that this is about as serious as it can get regarding the release of this particular type of information, especially if there is a cover-up involved.
Just in time for back to school- an app that corrects your grammar and spelling while you text! Dare me to Tweet it to Kate? I may get double blocked! http://www.fastcoexist.com/3049590/this-app-uses-kids-own-unintelligible-texts-to-teach-them-grammar?utm_source=facebook
Megyn Kelly said she was not going to respond to DT blood comment.
P.J.
So if it comes down to a contest between a narcissistic blowhard versus a lying, e-mail deleting shady candidate, for whom would you vote?
The lesser of two evils?
Apparently anything goes in politics-- don't like the questions? Well don't run!
We've had a few journalist/politician dustups the past few years---
Couric snd Palin
Bush and Rather
Quayle and everyone(lol)
Journalists are out to make a name for themselves, other's careers be damned.
I may not have agreed with Palin's politics but I don't think she deserved how harshly she was treated. She grew up in a middle class family, got an education and eventually was a governor -- and earned it on her own merit. The media went after her like it was a blood sport.
Politics is a dirty business -- the only thing i can say about Trump is that he'd fit right in.

I believe the OP was referring to Trump's statement about blood, which Megyn Kelly has not commented on.
Hillary may have gotten herself in really deep with Servergate. From what I understand, she's under investigation by the FBI and the Justice Department. She signed a sworn affidavit to a federal judge, under penalty of perjury, that she has handed over all of her government business emails, and if this is found to be not true, then how will she dig her way out of it? I hope her attorney knows what he's doing!

Michele's hair is professionally done for the show? That stylist should be looking for a new career! How bad is it when she has to do it herself?

So if she gets elected, then we will have a husband (First Man) and wife team in the White House who pulled crap and wiggled their way out of it? Nice!

I hope she scheduled her last free summer vacay so it won't conflict with her monthly spa day! She needs that day to de-stress! ( all that 'cutting tags off new clothing from tlc' gives her a blister-- oh wait, maybe a broken hand instead?) lol
Kate's a tool. Lol
Tlc can air her specials 24/7, I won't be watching.
Changing the subject, but I've said before I watch ZERO tv-- but my kids watch Big Brother , if I'm in the room I might glance at it-- seems sorta silly, imo. The kids made me watch Anerica's Got Talent last night-- I giggled because Howard Stern is a judge. Lol!!!
I am a fan of PBS Masterpiece Theater though-- Poldark is captivating!
If it wasn't for PBS and college football I'd never turn on the tv! I tried 'Call the Midwife" ( is that the right name? And 'Crimson Field' but they didn't grab my attention as shows like Downton and Poldark.
:) (excuse my typos as I learn to type on an ipad mini! Chunky fingers make mistakes!)

===============
BTW, Trump also appeared on Howard Stern. CNN posted an article about some of his interviews. He's the one that tweeted a link to Megyn's interview with HS, so I guess it's only fair that what he said on HS is brought to light. Someone tell me how his answers are NOT degrading to women.
http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/12/politics/donald-trump-howard-stern/index.html
Thanks, KIAT! Not that I needed my eyes opened wider about Trump but that article speaks volumes. Folks can criticize that Clintons but really, is Trump Presidential material? He's a pig, plain and simple.
Just saw an announcement that former President Jimmy Carter has metastatic liver cancer. Maybe not our greatest president but IMO a genuinely good man.
Oh no! If nothing else Jimmy Carter is a wonderful kind human being! That's terrible

The only thing attractive about him is his wallet.

Trump has been on Howard Stern many times and he's actually pretty funny. I also heard Megyn when she was on HS and enjoyed her interview as well. I guess because I'm a long time Stern fan these types of comments don't bother me in the least. Back under the veranda!
Aggiemom - Why would you giggle because Howard Stern is a judge on AGT? He's actually quite good and give very constructive criticism to all.
Megyn may not be running for President, but participating in an explicit conversation doesn't do her professional career any favors. She should think twice if she wants to be taken seriously
When I first heard that Howard Stern was going to be a judge on AGT, I was extremely against it. I thought he was going to be so horrible, curse, condemn people because the way he is on his radio show.
Well, shut my mouth when I saw the first show. Wow, I was so impressed at his analysis of each act, how he articulate he was. He is great judge. This year or next year is his last and I hate to see him go and I thought I would never even say that.
Heidi and Off the Chain need to GO!! I also wish that they had categories. Dance, Singing, Comedy/Magic, Other. Have a winner in each catergory and they win 50K each. Then take those 4 and have the Grand Winner for the 1 million dollar prize and a Las Vegas show.

I see zero evidence of blowback from basically saying that she's got no complaints about her husband's penis size and said husband liked her bigger boobies when she was pregnant.
Sounds like a healthy sex life to me.
Megyn, of all the female anchors/talking heads on Fox, sat front and center at the first Republican Presidential debate.
I would go as far as to say that a little naughty edge actually helps.
Really, there was a little discussion about boobs and genitals. Hardly reputation ruining. If Megyn said she and her husband would love to have a threesome with Howard's wife, that would be another story.
(Howard would probably pay money for that!)

Howard is a great judge. I also LOVED Steven Tyler on Idol.
Heidi and Whatzhername Spice need to go buh-bye.
Her ex-husband Jon has also moved on with a new woman since their marriage, which he called a “10 year business transaction.”
====
That pretty much sums up all Kate's relationships. Her kids are a business investment, her so-called friends are all just people in the business whom she uses to make it appear she has friends. Her bodyguard/manager/gigolo is nothing but a business partner. If her parents had loads of money, she'd probably have a relationship with them, too but they don't so they're out.
What an empty woman.
Jon really did sum it up. Kate was a cold fish even in the beginning. She never showed any real affection and it was obvious they were just parenting partners.
It's a really sad existence to be with someone yet be totally alone.
