1. The "father" who rapes under aged girls in secret.

The "father" who sexually assault women because he's a star and they let him do it (some of them?).

The "father" who bankrupt casinos.

The "father" who defrauded his own "Charity" to buy a painting of himself.

The "father" who accuses foreign military forces of having stayed behind front lines while he falsely bone-spurred his own engagements.

What a peaceof$hit.

Amin, famously, likewise insisted his advisers call him 'Dada'.

It took that country a generation to recover.

5. The Deadbeat Dad Party.

"Kerry, Hillary, Barney Frank, John Lewis, Nancy Pelosi, Obama -- these are the wonks who never satisfy the radicals but know how to make actual progress, as opposed to doing progressive theater. It's not the screamers and the tweeters, it's the worker bees with the name tags and the binders. ... Pundits have always referred to the Republicans as the Daddy Party, which makes the Democrats the Mommy Party: the nurturers, the caretakers, the compassionate ones. Democrats worried about your health care and education, and Republicans were all about security and fiscal responsibility. ... But the Republicans aren't the Daddy Party anymore. They're more like the Absentee Father Party: going through a midlife crisis, making bad decisions with an abundance of pretend confidence. It's like the entire party is wearing a toupee.

"But for so many who are just trying to survive in this American family, they have to come to terms with the reality that the Daddy Party is the Deadbeat Dad Party, and the man who's been the leader of the party since 2015 is a hot mess. And you know what happens when Daddy's a useless piece of crap? Mom has to take over. That's why Democrats are no longer the Mommy Party -- they're the single Mom Party. They're the party that has to work two jobs because Daddy went out for cigarettes and never came back.The Single Mom Party is the only one that cares about the kids' future. The Republicans are the party of "pollute all you want now, because tomorrow's not our problem, we'll be gone.'"

Kamala Harris wasn't rejected, nobody listened. They didn't know her. Like the Stupid Daddy who accused her of "ignoring the working class" and only paying attention to abortion and "identity politics."
