(102,351 posts)Poor kids. I can't imagine they enjoy spending time with the soon-to-be evil stepmother, either.

(28,498 posts)They all look haunted. Jesus, what a family.
believe I've seen family pics with the hump and his spawn when they were younger with the same looks on their faces. The chain is unbroken.

(15,145 posts)Since it's an old photograph.
Their faces are so sad. Reminds me of the time Ted Cruz was holding his daughter in his arms and he leaned over to kiss her on the cheek. She pulled away from him. Says a lot about Ted. And this picture says a lot about Junior.

(21,852 posts)This was a picture tweeted out by Jr. He was the one using the children.
BlackSkimmer
(51,308 posts)Over a year old, so I doubt he recently tweeted it out.
And no, we shouldnt. Ever. Ymmv.
Sanity Claws
(21,852 posts)Whether it was today or a year ago, Jr. sent this photo out. Jr. is using the children.
As for us at DU, I didn't see one negative comment about the children. People remarked on their expressions but no one talked about them the way Limbaugh talked about Chelsea Clinton or the other negative things that Republicans said about Democrats' kids.

(82,383 posts)did not realize this was not a good photo to tweet. Did he look at it? I guess he assumed they looked happy or that kids always hate having their photo taken.

(18,497 posts)Middle boy is probably pinching his arms under his shirt.
Older boy was obviously pinching his own arm very hard in the larger pic I had seen before.
Little girl just looks very not happy.

(2,405 posts)I suspect abuse or neglect. Never mind who the adult in the pic is.... those kids look haunted by something.

(5,429 posts)May they survive the childhood scars that thoughtless adults inflict on them and grow up well.
(And not resort to nose powder later in life to escape bad memories like daddy.)
Young man in the middle - pulling at his sleeve like that, that is a Bad Sign.
