Has Anyone Noticed a High Number of Trump Appointees and Nominees Have Domestic Violence Issues?

What is wrong with them?

1. He likes to hire people on whom he has dirt. nt

[More_Cowbell]

10. I agree. Same with the Russians.

Once you've hired someone with dirt in their background, you own them.

2. The Prevalence of Domestic Violence is Disturbing

[applegrove]

4. Birds of a feather.... they are not all domestic abusers but the leadership

in the GOP are missing parts of their character. Like Rumsfeld and Cheney or Manafort and Stone. They seem to "clot" together.

5. Appears domestic violence may be an inherent rethuglicon thing.

If you think about it, it makes sense.

[Dorian Gray]

18. There are plenty of democrats

who are violent or abusive. It's not a republican thing. Dismissing it as such actually puts human beings in danger.

It's not an us vs. them thing.

It's an abusive human being thing.

And we need to listen to women and men who come forward about their abusive spouses or partners. It's not tied to their political beliefs. It's tied to unexplored anger and an inability to control their responses to that.

6. This crowd isn't known for its high opinion of women.

[RockRaven]

7. You mean like Trump himself? (see: his Ivana divorce documents) Maybe it's the guy hiring them...

Trump himself is the common denominator.

8. It's their twisted Christian way - women are regarded as subservients

9. I Hope Shanahan's Wife is OK

Although, how could she be after being beaten unconscious with a baseball bat? Unbelievable!

[pazzyanne]

12. Like father, like son!

Generational physical abuse at its best. Children learn what they see when they are growing up.

11. I see that at least two people

had the exact reaction that I did: "Birds of a Feather!"

Indeed.

13. Cracked masculinity...

qui se ressemble s'assemble!

14. Obnoxious people do obnoxious things

No surprise here..

[Maru Kitteh]

15. Deadly. Obnoxious is a kid kicking your middle seat in coach. Beating women's heads in

with a baseball bat is not obnoxious.

[malaise]

16. Yep - they hate women

and that will make America great again

[Dorian Gray]

17. Only

Men (and women) of low moral character want to work for Trump.

Men who hit or support people who hit their wives seem to be the bottom of the barrel. Not surprising that trump would be their only option.
