Like I said earlier, this is no smoking gun. The problem is that when the people in charge of your Country get so pretentious that they cannot even communicate with normal Americans there is no way for regular people to identify with their Government. This group are not an Art Commune living in the NorthWest, they are not a crowd of Hollywood Producers making back room deals.They are the people who have been in charge of the most powerful Country on the planet for the last 8 years. Communication and trust are critical components in a Democracy and once those components are lost chaos ensues.
Oh, and this email is really hard to explain away. Really, it is. Read it again.
I agree with everything you're saying. I also realize the names were out there already. My uneasiness is simply in repeating their names for google's pleasure forever and ever. I don't know what's going on with those kids, whether it's nefarious or not.
I honestly hope that nothing surrounding those children is nefarious and that all of this is a typical alt-right blowup. I HATE the idea of children not being able to grow up and have fun, learn and experience normal kid stuff. I had a fantastic time in a pile of mud that we all dug tunnels through to see who could make the "best" tunnel for our Hot Wheels cars. Being a kid was fun!

Personally, I'm uneasy about identifying children.

The original sender identified the children by name, both first and last. If this was a family outing why include the children's last name's?

Possibly because these people are painfully pretentious, and that's how painfully pretentious people speak.

Oh you are? You are reading private email of which the owner has not granted you permission to read. And this makes you uneasy?

Perhaps you don't understand the concept of children as opposed to political hack. Too bad for you.

You're right. Maybe we can get CNN to provide us a proper interpretation?

Or maybe OP can shut the fuck up with the special snowflake feelings. "Uneasy." Jesus fucking Christ.
Its like we are living in the girls dormitory and everyone is menstruating together.
