TL;DR the rape we know for sure about isn’t mentioned. Also nothing about the definitely-oh-yes-there-goddamned-was-collusion. Or the obstruction of justice by firing Comey. Nothing about the coke use, the incontinence, the fake teeth, fake height, fake hair, fake tan, or fake bank accounts. Oh, or the fraud, obvs. Or anything else really.

I didn’t get past halfway in the article though, because i saw the excerpt from the booklet and began vomiting

I like the cover picture where they make trump look like JFK pre-bullet.

What the ‘Kids Guide to President Trump’ does not tell your children

The truth.

There, I saved you from reading Mike Huckabee's masturbatory fantasy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not actually helpful to those of us who have never heard of it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Which? The truth or the fantasy?

My kids know the truth, so I don’t really care if they ever come across that book or not.

They also have the kids’ book of fallacies, and it has served them well over the years.

I wasn’t able to find “The Kids’ Book of Fallacies”

Which one are you referring to, out of curiosity?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If I remember correctly, it’s

“Logical Fallacies for Kids: Empowering young minds with the tools to think critically”.

Pitfalls and Pitfalls 2 are also pretty good, as is the Illustrated Book of Bad Arguments.

High five. ‘Ppreciate it 👌🏻

Edit: Woof. Pitfalls seems heavily aimed at the homeschooling Jesus crowd. We can probably do without that one. YMMV.

First one still seems worth a check though. Thanks, anyway.

What in the actual fuck. I cannot believe this exists. Textbook bullshit propaganda.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

This is like an intro book before he creates The Trump Youth

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Pretty much.

Took the text right out of my thumbs

Honestly… if it didn’t serve as a fundraiser for him, it would be a useful tool to teach your kids about propaganda and spotting bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Standard republican propaganda, same as it ever was.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

I feel so sorry for the kids that get abused by dumbass families with this. They're truly stuck with morons who should be extinct.

“My grand daughter does not get to spend very much time online so we have paid over 300$ for a little history pamphlet,” a woman named “Renee Y” wrote in January on the Better Business Bureau website.

“Our terms and conditions clearly state that the customer would continue to receive shipments monthly that would be charged to the credit or debit card that we have on file,” eSpired responded, before agreeing to process “a refund for charges in the last 90 days.”
