Your input is valued, as always. I watch a lot of the political comedy shows, most take a sympathetic view of Melania, as they should. But ask yourself this, who opened up the door on this, who lowered the bar?

Didn't we have a regular post here that Michelle Obama looks like an ape?

My point in this thread is not the above, but that the OP is misleading in a way much more harmful than the myth of some media campaign to depict Trump as a spouse abuser.
#1  Yes DJT is a lightning rod but that hardly excuses the shall we say callous speculation on his family.

#2  We did and if my memory is correct was he not chastised by both sides of the isle?

#3  Standing in the check out isle today the cover of I believe "In Touch" (for the record I am not familiar with this magazine) was speculating on the real reason Melania has been absent.  Of coarse these "rags" do go out of their way to sell their product so I take that with a grain of salt.

I just wish everyone regardless of political affiliation would leave the family's of our politicians alone.

Easy. The whole concept of "hate crime" is a means of meting out punishment based on the perceived thoughts of the accused.

1) You're not pirkster

2) In the US you can't be prosecuted for merely feeling or stating hate, but you have to commit a violent act or explicitly incite that violent act before prosecution might begin.  I don't think that's a good example of wanting to "dictate or control the thoughts of others." Hate crimes prosecution is a question of thoughts with actions, never just thoughts.

Point of contention here, didn't the Supreme Court just have ruling concerning a baker not wanting to bake a cake?  Maybe I missed the mark here but it kind of feels the same way.

At some point you just have to let go of what you thought should happen and live in what is happening.
