    Maybe...Stalin? Nah, Trump would do it.
    Hmm....Hitler? Nah, he would do that stuff too if it got him more ratings and likes on Twitter.
    How about Pol Pot? Well, see kids in cages on the Mexican border.
    Vlad Tepes? Ok, he will never be that cool in memory. Wouldn't care if people were impaled alive.

    Nope, Trump is an a-class vile-an.

    Yeah, you've obviously missed the boat on anything to do with this president.

    Really?

    You don't think the niece would have much knowledge of him?

    Really?

    Do you think she is a teenager or have been out of the country this entire time?

    Or maybe she was in a institution the entire time?

    Yes you are missing a whole lot, like how families actually work.

    I’m not close with extended family, but my wife’s aunts are like parents to her.

    Just depends on the family.

    Something only the family would really know. I don't put a ton of stock in what she says because I don't know her motivations or anything, plus I don't need anymore evidence to already know Donald Trump is just plain awful.

    Some families have very close relationships, others do not. As a child I was a lot closer to my aunt than I am today. I'm not particularly close to any of my niblings, but that has a lot to do with they live far away. I also know many people that have close relationships with their aunts and uncles, many I know better than their actual parents because of how much time they spend with them.

    Come for possible USSC update, ... am treated to Os theories of universal familial behavior and an Althouse link. :D Le sigh.

    never said "universal" familial behavior. :p I was making a point, however, about inductive inference. Kind of like Hume and tomorrow's sunrise.
