1. Be careful what you wish for, Nikki.

Or you're gonna have to give up your personal credit cards & bank accounts.

There's a whole lot more you morons haven't thought about as you wax on about the good old days of rich, privileged, white men. JFC.

[Kali]

2. concise!

[Mblaze]

3. I remember when I was growing up

How simple I was.

Then I read some books and watched some news and began to understand the true history of America and the the evil of Jim Crow and marched for voting rights for black Americans. Then I enlisted in the AF to avoid being drafted into a war that had nothing to do with me and observed the banality of the tradition-bound Silent Majority that gave us J. Edgar Hoover and Richard Nixon. I guess you could say that I became woke.

15. "How simple I was"

I see what you did there... good one!

[Mblaze]

30. 😀

4. Things weren't that idyllic for Haley and her family either.

I'm sure they encountered plenty of "othering.'

[Hekate]

20. Especially since they didn't change their names like she did. But she was a kid & I'm sure they...

…tried to shield their kids, as parents will do.

Nikki has made personal choices long the way that have led her to where she is now.

[brush]

21. True. Her numbers bumped up 1% in the latest poll I saw...

today...still below 5% and way behind trump, as is the slumping DeSantis.

Wonder how long before it dawns on her she's running for the VP slot?

[Jakes Progress]

5. Sure we all know that she is full of shit.

But the low-iq, nonthinking crowd whose votes she is seeking just eat this stuff up. She knows that no one who thinks or has morals will ever vote for her, so she trolls the shallow water with crap like this.

[calimary]

6. Yeah, honey, back when my parents were making all the decisions

and my job was studying, getting my homework done, and passing tests. Oh yeah - and feeding the cat. And I never gave a thought to national issues or current events, mainly because I never had to. Cuz I was A KID. That other stuff didn’t come into my orbit til high school, when history class included mandatory reading of “Newsweek”.

[speak easy]

24. "Oh yeah - and feeding the cat"

[Johonny]

7. So we're all going to act like 3 year olds again or what

No thanks, I'm an adult and I want a president like Biden that acts like one.

[ShazzieB]

8. Shut up, Nikki.

You evidently never got the memo that some of us had shitty childhoods. Sure, life was comparatively less complicated when I was a kid, but I also had plenty to worry about, like when was my mom going to have another psychotic break and have to be hospitalized again.

Don't get me wrong: there were were some good times as well. But I do not know this simple, easy, carefree time of which you speak. Must have been nice... for people like you.

[Skittles]

12. thank you

my dad was hospitalized for a year when I was a teenager, the family broke up and I slept on an alcoholic aunt's couch and took care of her babies

[NewJeffCT]

9. She really got hammered for that tweet

31. As well she should have!

Nikki thinks she’s presidential material. The polls show there aren’t a whole lot of people who agree with her. Thank goodness!

[TygrBright]

10. Truth Bazinga!! n/t

[Skittles]

11. she must have had a great time

I never felt like my life was "simple and easy".

[Ohioboy]

13. How the hell has Joe Biden affected Nikki Haley to the point where she longs for the old days?

Republicans have no idea what they are talking about, and would give up this country and the Constitution because of their ignorance.

[markie]

14. fuck you Haley

I remember growing up and it was hell... and I'm white, so I can only imagine what it was like for others

No, it was not all good faith, family and Country for a majority of us

[Demobrat]

16. I remember those times.

Girls grew up, got married, got pregnant, not necessarily in that order, and set forth on their lives of indentured servitude.

Ah, the good old days.

[bluboid]

17. Dear Ira, your three words -

so simply stated - say everything that needs to be said!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[11 Bravo]

18. Now THAT is truly a mic drop moment!

[D_Master81]

19. Haha

Oh Lord. Joe Biden is now responsible for children’s upbringing being more difficult and they can be happy again if we just get rid of him.

[Ilsa]

22. That's how life is supposed to feel to children

if their parents shield them from excessive stress. Eventually, though, they have to let their kids grow up and see the real world.

[GoCubsGo]

23. Fuck off Nikki. "Leave It To Beaver" was fiction.

Most people didn't grow up with the life you describe. I'm willing to bet that you didn't, either.

[AZ8theist]

25. I would have told her...

No. I didn't grow up in the 1250s.

[Tender hopper]

26. Even in my nice childhood

I remember nuclear bomb drills, kneeling in front of the school lockers.
I remember the Cuban missile crises and one of the kids saying that his mom told him "the bombs would start falling after school let out that day".
I remember some guy flashing my little sisters as they walked home from school.
I remember two Kennedys and Martin Luther King being assassinated.
I remember police attacking marchers with fire hoses and dogs and Billy clubs.
I remember waiting for the draft lottery results.
I remember feeling guilty after the me too movement for not reporting a teenage child molester when I was ten.
And I had a pretty idyllic childhood.
Nicky has either scrubbed her memories or is just reading garbage a speechwriter prepared for her.

[DFW]

27. And THAT is why I include her in my list of Republicans that will NOT be their nominee next year

When I was growing up, there was the Vietnam War and the danger of getting drafted, JFK getting killed, MLK getting killed, Bobby, Sr. getting killed, people still getting shot at the Berlin Wall, Middle East wars, Watergate and ongoing Republican corruption (plus ça change), and the discovery that my country was NOT the only place on earth where one could live.

Haley is selling an America that never existed, and no one remembers except 95 year old former Hollywood scriptwriters.

[chwaliszewski]

28. Shut The F*** Up, Nikki!

[thesquanderer]

29. Sounds like she'd like to bring back the draft. n/t
