It's both true and a kind thing to say.

I didn't see a warning in there anywhere.

Because of the implication?

Divorcity awareness.

Chuck said...

As the great Jack Handey has said:

I believe in making the world safe
for our children,
but not for our children's children,
because I don't think children
should be having sex.

Either:

She has more class than most of the rest of the Democrats combined

or

She has already retained a divorce lawyer.

Chuck said...

I'll bet that both of Don Jr.'s next two wives will be hot.

jaydub said...

As best I can discern Chelsea is the only one who is mentioning the children at all, let alone disrespecting their privacy. She brought them up out of thin air. So, why is she interjecting herself into their world? What's in it for her, because when was the last time a Clinton did anything that was not in their own self interest? Asking for my wife.

Left Bank of the Charles said...

Will Vanessa get one of those thank you for your service tweets from President Trump?

David Begley said...

Virtue signaling of a different sort.

She set up a straw man and knocked it down. As jaydub just wrote, who in the media was bugging Don Jr's kids?

MadisonMan said...

So, a Clinton is telling people how to behave.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

Meade said...

"I'll bet that both of Don Jr.'s next two wives will be hot."

It's against the rules to bet on this blog.

Rob said...

A kind caring woman like Chelsea Clinton sounds like just what we need as President of these United States.

David Begley said...

I saw Chelsea speak in Omaha. There are better speakers on the Duchesene Academy of the Sacred Heart Mock Trial team. She inherited none of her mother's smarts, warmth or charisma.

gspencer said...

Chelsea, accomplished for never have been accomplished. And there are people in this country who want to deprive the rest of us of her incredible wisdom.

Ray - SoCal said...

The white powder mailed to her was probably the breaking point.

I wonder if statistically, if your parents divorced, are you more likely to? Or even to get married?

What a lovely young woman

Lovely? Meh.

She was dealt a crap hand parent-wise, it appears (from the outside).

There is no reason -- other than her parents being politicians -- that anyone cares what she thinks. Or says. She adds nothing original.

Really? Maybe you could show some examples of this, #IngaKnew. She, like you, is a dullard. Even Web Hubbell knows that.

Drago said...

The potential of Don Jr remarrying and having more children will provide LLR Chuck additional opportunities to attack Trump children by rumor mongering.

No wonder Chuck sounds giddy

chickelit said...

The media are visiting the sins of the father upon the son. What they are about to do to Trump, Jr., is what the wish they could do to POTUS. This another reason why people look the other way when the media are shamed in a personal way. There is no simple way to break this cycle.

Pre-Trump, I never used to make comments like that. I've learned a lot, from the Trumps. Never back down. And some of your best punches will be gut-shots; sucker-punches below the belt of your antagonist. A mix of funny and insulting. Keep it short, and memorable. Re-Tweet-able.

Marcus said...

I found Chuck's comment about DJT Jr.'s "next two wives" to be hilarious. As for Chelsea, as soon as she opened her mouth about political issues, she was fair game.

tcrosse said...

BTW Chelsea's name also appears on the letterhead of a very dubious "charitable" foundation.

chickelit said...

@Chuck: People just don’t get your ongoing negative obsession with Trump. It’s a bit like Crack’s old negative obsession with Mitt Romney during the 2012 election cycle. Eventually, people will tune out or punch back. I would like to see what happened to Crack happen to you.

Actually, I have no idea what happened to Crack. I never had any big personal feuds with commenters back then. (Because my views were almost completely "Mainstream Althouse" back then.)

But I'll bet that The Cracker Emcee didn't vote for Bush or McCain or Romney... the way that I voted for Trump.

Bruce Hayden said...

“She inherited none of her mother's smarts, warmth or charisma.”

I think that this might better have been phrased: “She inherited none of her father's smarts, warmth or charisma, but all of her mother’s”. Crooked Hillary doesn’t seem to have that much smarts, and little, if any warmth or charisma. None immediately evident. But one thing that Chelsea may have that her mother almost decidedly does not is some empathy and even self-consciousness - those could easily have been her marriage and her kids that were being discussed, if her mother had actually had just a little more smarts, warmth, and charisma, and not lost those close swing states.

I do know that, statistically speaking, you are less likely to have kids if your parents didn't have any.

Drago said...

Inga: "Bimbo doesn’t mind that Trump is Putin’s Puppet,..."

LOL

Putin just loves our energy independence and increased exports to Europe undercutting Russian Natural Gas sales to Europe.

Putin just loves a massive buildup of US military might.

Putin just loves increased US overtures to China.

Putin just loves increased US offensive weapons to Ukraine and the Baltics.

Putin just loves it when Russian mercenaries get whacked by US forces in Syria.

Putin just loves it when....democrat Presidents shove cigars up interns and the democrat base cheers!

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...

Never letting go of the insane Russian kept Hillary out of office by tricking everyone into hating her.

Inga- normal people HATE Hillary with or without silly Russian Facebook ads.

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...

Putin was successful in seeding paranoia inside the leftwing brain.

Drago said...

What Putin DOES love is getting control of 20% of the US Uranium reserves.

And all it took was about $150Million given to Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Not bad.

Plus all of obambi's Resets and warm, loving, eye to eye promises of "increased flexibility" after elections (when the rubes no longer need to be fooled!)

Hey, anyone got the number for those Putin amigos in Moscow? I need to get some fake Putin news to generate a hoax dossier to inject into the next US election....

Plutonium Tea a popular drink among Putin’s agents. If they really like you they’ll serve you Novichok with a smile.

It's a good thing the Russians weren't clever enough to inject plutonium into cigars.

We would have lost a number of interns during Bill Clinton's tenure.

If you know what I mean.

Drago said...

"disgusting and gross"

Words Inga would never use regarding cigars and interns.

In the same way that muslims grooming hundreds and thousands of young girls for long term rape and abuse in the west is something to be laughed at.

Like she did yesterday.

Unexpectedly.

If you're lucky Inga, perhaps Putin will poison Trump.

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...

Putin has been killing his enemies for decades. Why, even going back as far as the Obama era where we were assured by Obama any paranoia about Putin and his grasp on power is simply the 80's calling.

trumpintroublenow said...

Speculating -- you don't have five kids with someone that you think you may soon divorce. Hence, divorce prob. related to politics and expectation of future legal trouble for Donald Jr. She wants her kids as far away as possible when the s**t hits the fan. Good call.

Looks like now we know why Judge Contrereas suddenly and inexplicably had to recuse himself from the Flynn case....and one reason, of many, why suddenly that little old "slam dunk" Flynn guilty plea is likely to be thrown out.

And Manafort has gone all in on fighting the witch hunt.

And Carter Page, that actual target of all 4 FISA warrants and extensions has never been accused of wrongdoing, never arrested, never indicted etc.

Even though getting a FISA warrant extension is supposed to be based on demonstrable evidence of wrongdoing which the product of the warrant extension is supposed to show.

Don Jr isn't sweating any legal action.

That was precisely the first thing that went through my mind when I heard about this. And it was the first thing that two divorce-lawyer friends (one a Trump-liking Republican and one a Trump-hating Democrat) thought.

None of us know anything particular about the case, or have any inside track on info. But it was literally the first thing each of us thought as lawyers and litigators. And it isn't even such a clear legal strategy. Federal criminal practice is not my area, but I have real doubts that a New York divorce with minor children and a complicated financial setting would get resolved (and assets protected) before federal prosecutors moved in.

Still, I think it was a good question.

mccullough said...

I agree with leave their kids alone.

People left Chelsea alone for the most part when she was growing up. The people who didn’t are cruel people.

John McCain’s joke “Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because Janet Reno is her father” was a cruel thing to say about a 13 year-old girl.

I had no problem with Trump being cruel to McCain. The Maverick is a cruel guy. Like a lot of cruel people, he whines and hides behind the valor of others.

McCain was a legacy at Annapolis. He was a terrible student. He was a terrible pilot. He cost the US government millions because he couldn’t fly. The Navy should have flushed him out of Annapolis.

Trump is a cruel guy, too. Just like McCain and W and Obama and a lot of these people.

I like watching these people tear each other apart in The Arena.

I would advise Chelsea to stay out of The Arena. She’s a bit clueless and a bit arrogant. But considering who her parents are, she’s pretty decent. Maybe Bill and Hillary made sure she wouldn’t turn out like them. They may have had that much self awareness and decency.





Darrell said...

The Haitians still threw Chelsea a helluva wedding. Even if they didn't know they did.

langford peel said...

It is clear that the letter attack was the last straw for Don Jr's wife. Trumps family has to fear for their personal safety because of people like Inga and Chuck. She is just not brave enough to risk her life and her children lives.

It is understandable that she is afraid. I bet there were strains on the marriage and the attempt on her life is was the last straw. Now the crazies will leave her alone.

Sad but understandable.

“It is clear that the letter attack was the last straw for Don Jr's wife. Trumps family has to fear for their personal safety because of people like Inga and Chuck. She is just not brave enough to risk her life and her children lives.”

There is a kernel of truth here. Of course she’s afraid for her life and that of her children. However, I guess it doesn’t occur to the dim witted Trump sycophants here that it could be Putin she is afraid of. Could it be that Putin is sending messages (by the recent poisoning’s in the UK) to certain folks letting them know that he can poison them no matter where they live if they double cross him?

Drago said...

langford peel: "It is clear that the letter attack was the last straw for Don Jr's wife."

That is a normal and reasonable first thought.

The woman feared for the safety of her xhildren at the hands of ingas and LLR Chucks lefty allies.

Which is why that was NOT LLR Chucks first thought.

LLR Chucks second thought was likely how to identify any rumors about the children that he could advance.

She has nothing to fear from Putin. She has to fear the pussy hat wearing Antifa Democrats who shoot Congressmen and attack Senators on their lawn. It is the Ingas and Chucks that she has to fear. She decided to take her kids out of the line of fire. It is understandable that she puts her children first even over her marriage.

After all Chuck has a documented history of threatening violence against women and attacking underage children on the Internet.

She needs to keep her children safe from these people. You never know when they will progress from attacks on the Internet to physical attacks. This is precisely what they ignored in the Parkland shooting. I hope the FBI is taking this seriously.

I just doubt it. They only seem dedicated to overturning the results of an election.

Everybody already knows what a dumb, boring, old slander this is. Althouse calls it "clutter." I asked her to ban people like you, doing this. She said that she lacked the technology to ban individual blogspot users, and while she could clean out individual comments, she didn't want to get caught up in that because it was such an onerous, thankless boring task. And professionally, she rather preferred the ideological devotion to "free speech" in her comments. Going so far as to remove her previous warning on how "COMMENTS ARE MODERATED some but not all of the time..."

So you get away with this garbage. Congrats. Doesn't look good for the blog, but it's not my blog.

Chuck said...

Drago, it was Donald Trump Jr. who spread that lie about "HanAssholeSolo" being a 15 year-old. He wasn't 15; he was an adult, and CNN didn't doxx him, although CNN sure managed to get a lot of people angry in the process:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2017/07/05/how-cnn-managed-to-anger-everyone-by-finding-then-shielding-the-creator-of-that-trump-wrestling-meme/?utm_term=.d09af70e849d

But you know it's funny that you inadvertently brought up the subject of Don Junior's Twitter habits, because -- allegedly -- it is Twitter that has come between Don Junior and Mrs. Junior:

https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2018/03/donald-trump-jr-vanessa-headed-for-divorce

Allegedly.

And by the way (this is for the intelligent, curious, fact-loving readers of Althouse comments, and so not intended for Drago); I never even defended CNN in all of its decision-making around the Trump re-tweeting of that video. I mostly thought it an entertaining mess. But Drago is always looking for something to hang on me, and truth and accuracy are beside the point.

In this instance, I give Chelsea the benefit of the doubt. After all, whatever else might be said about Chelsea, she absolutely does know what it's like to be a kid growing up in the spotlight due to the public life of the family in which he or she is (or they are) being raised. And Don Jr.'s kids are very young. I imagine that Chelsea can sincerely relate to that, given that she was, what, born some time around 1980? Either right before Bill became AK guv the first time, or maybe during that first brief term as guv. I'm not a fan of Chelsea as an adult (well, to the degree I think about her at all, which is rarely), but I certainly felt for Chelsea-the-kid, at the time, and it seems to me entirely reasonable that she might sincerely feel for any of the Trumps who are actually children and understand full well how they might be, or become, collateral damage.

Snark said...

"I wonder if statistically, if your parents divorced, are you more likely to? Or even to get married?"

I can say anecdotally that I think growing up in a home with no father made the idea of marriage as absent as he was. My mom didn't remarry or even date as far as I ever saw and marriage just wasn't on my radar as part of a life plan. It literally didn't occur to me as a goal, and definitely not as a need. I wasn't against the idea or anything, but I did literally nothing to pursue or prioritize it. Not surprisingly, I never got married!

In a book I read a psychologist was quoted as saying "Children swim in their parents' unconscious like fish swim in the sea". We absorb things I think, unbeknownst to all parties. Parents who linger in shitty, unsatisfying marriages are doing their children few favours I think. Marriage is about the only thing I can think of where once people know they're in a hole, the culture seems to pressure them to just keep digging.

There's a straight up malignant narcissist/sociopath in the Whitehouse. Everybody should have a fierce, decidedly negative and very much ongoing obsession with that.

Lol

The Bill Clinton crew would like to lecture us about narcissism and sociopathy in the White House.

Lets listen closely....

She inherited none of her mother's smarts, warmth or charisma.

Is that a negative ?

Asking for a friend.

We’ve had malignant narcissists as presidents since the founding of the republic. How is partisan obsession making any difference at all?

"marriage just wasn't on my radar as part of a life plan."

Good plan.

Saves disappointment.

We should hand out plastic trophies for doing the world a favor.

“Now Inga demands we all share her delusions.”

Oh no. Far be it from me to tell you what to believe. I said you were incapable of believing anything that is not complimentary to your God King. Believe what you want, it’s amusing in a very sad sort of way.

It is going to be fun watching you complain about all of the democrats getting indicted over the summer.

Contreas, the judge for the Flynn/Manafort cases, happens to be close personal friends with... FBI agent Strzok.


Flynn will be free and suing the DOJ/FBI or damages soon.

Mueller will drop the charges against Manafort before discovery when he has to answer questions about the Podesta group and why he let them off and indicted their partner.

For that matter Strzok is probably singing to investigators/IG right now to avoid jail time.

Mueller, Comey, McCabe are all facing serious jail time. Think turning on Obama or Hillary will be worth 10 years off your prison sentence?

Going to be a long hot summer.
