Why Do Some Criticize Others then Do the Same Thing?

   We all know people that do this: Tell someone they're wrong to do something and then the person does it themselves: It's okay for the person who criticizes others to do something, but not everyone else. Doesn't it drive you CRAZY?
   Well, in the news this week was another blatant example of just that. As you know, during the 2016 election, the Trump campaign and all Congressional Republicans highly criticized and had hearings and investigations into Hillary Clinton for using a private email server (although Colin Powell and Condalezza Rice did, too). NOW, Trump's son-in-law has been doing it. BUT THAT'S OKAY.
   It's funny how there is not a peep from Congress.  Aaarrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhh!!!!!!

AND - Reports have surfaced that at least six of Trump's closest advisers sometimes deal with White House matters on personal accounts.  -But, hey, that's okay, because, well, they're Republicans.  NOT. 


In the news: Kushner used private email to conduct White House business
BBC News: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41382495
   Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner used a private email account to carry out official White House business, his lawyer said.
   Mr Kushner is a senior presidential adviser and is married to Ivanka Trump.His lawyer confirmed the existence of the personal email account in a statement on Sunday. During his campaign, Mr Trump repeatedly criticized rival Hillary Clinton for using a personal email account while secretary of state.
Dozens of emails were exchanged between Mr Kushner and other White House officials on topics including media coverage and event planning, according to Politico, which first published the story.
   The president frequently encouraged crowds at rallies to chant "lock her up", and vowed to imprison Mrs Clinton over concerns she may have mishandled classified information. An investigation into the matter was closed without charges.

History Lesson: Did you know saying "Democrat Party" is a Slam?

   Several people who have written letters to the Editor in our local newspaper and continue to use
the words "Democrat Party" when referring to the Democratic Party.

DID YOU KNOW?  That incorrect reference was created by hostile conservatives. It's insulting.  The proper name is the Democratic Party.

HISTORY OF THE INSULT:   In fact, if you Google it, you'll find that using "Democrat Party" is a slam. It's not new, although Fox News and conservative "news" sources have resurrected it. The term has been used in negative or hostile fashion by conservative commentators and members of the Republican Party since at least 1940.

USE IN RECENT HISTORY: 1) Following his inauguration in 2001, President George W. Bush often used the noun-as-adjective when referring to the opposition party.
2)  Donald Trump said on December 19, 2015, that the debate among democratic presidential candidates should be called the "Democrat Debate" rather than "Democratic", as the party was the "Democrat Party" and not "Democratic"

FOX NEWS PERPETRATING THE USE:  Fox News is a partisan outlet that promotes heavily slanted conservative views and has propagated fake news. It is also responsible for promoting ignorance in using the reference of "Democrat party."
  Democrats don't call the Republican Party the "Republic Party." So Republicans need to stop using "Democrat Party."  It's all about respect.

PLAYING DIRTY-  If Republicans continue to play dirty, then Democrats need to start playing dirty. Democrats have taken the "high road" and it got the party nowhere. It's sad to think that Democrats need to start being nasty to win an election, but it worked for Republicans. It says that voters in the U.S. now respect bullies. Sickening.
