I’ve jokingly noted to politicians at times to make a point to buy your domain name, because if you don’t others just might.
And a good example of that is what Minnehaha County Democrats just did to State Representative Tom Pischke.
They’re using TomPischke.com to launch an internet based assault on his reputation, as they post the legislative testimony of his ex-wife who testified to the state legislature that Pischke might be somewhat challenging to be married to:
I can’t post the audio/video clip from the website here as it’s not shareable, but it’s not particularly kind. (If you want to listen for yourself, you can go to TomPischke.com or listen here. )
Legislators and candidates, if you aren’t spending the $10 or $20 to buy your domain, you might just find your opponents doing so. As Tom Pischke just found out.
it’s brutal but it’s true: the only reason he is in the legislature is because he wants to get out of paying child support. He has attempted to recruit other candidates from the ranks of facebook users who are also mad about paying child support.
If you read their stuff you will see the first sentence in a rant is about how they don’t get to see their kids enough. After that every sentence is about paying child support, followed by lengthy descriptions of what horrible people their ex-wives are. They use a lot of ripe language when describing the mothers of their children. I was blocked by them when I pointed out they should not let their children hear or read such statements.
I hope the ex-wives get screen shots of these rants and show them to a judge.
Rep Pischke is a loving father that cares deeply as father should for his children.
I have never heard him speak derogatory of his ex out of respect for his children’s mother.
All legislators bring personal experiences with them in considering legislation which is what makes a South Dakota’s citizen legislature great.
Minnehaha Co Dems don’t value father’s rights in custody disputes and we as Republicans should not be discouraging a legislators efforts to re-establish the importance of a male figure in raising children.
Loving fathers do not invest their time in trying to get out of their child support obligations.
That’s exactly what democrats said when we worked on the bill years ago. You can make the opposite argument as well. It has nothing to do with child support. I’m not pro mom or pro dad but for kids to have access to fit parents. The bills should be split and time allocated to as close as possible to 50/50. Your lack of understanding of current law is telling. When one parent has financial gain to withhold tome from a parent your argument gets turned back on you. The stats for incarceration’s, teenage pregnancies’, school drop outs and more with absent fathers are staggering. Your statement is grotesque. The SD Bar for years along with feminists put this anti father laws on the books. It’s been slowly peeled back. Our system shouldn’t be based on who can afford a lawyer to get time with your kids.
When the discussion is so deeply personal and essentially a fundamental character denigration, it should be made with a name attached. I can’t in good conscience give the anonymous comments any credence, which if true is a tragedy.
Further, the use of a person’s name in a website with the intent destroy a person’s reputation of also indefensible.
To be clear, I think family disputes are difficult and those charged with making these decisions have taken on an extremely grave obligation which can have many negative impacts, even if the optimal decision is made. And, because it includes children, a special care must be taken before the matter becomes an explosive public political matter.
We can do better.
I wish we could do better Troy but, too many people, especially on the Left are filled with hate. The ends justify the means and this is the reason our country gets saddled with horrible candidates more often that not because good people don’t want to be unfarily drug through the mud of public opnion.
No one spews more hate than Trump. That is a fact. Maybe you guys should lead by example rather than playing the victim card when the obvious bully in the Whitehouse has been setting the tone for years now.
you’ve reread your copy of that classic children’s book “everyone i hate is hitler” lol
Curious you reply to his hyperbole, but not the one before it.
Stop with using Trump as an Example, thats ONE person. Does he say some dumb stuff sure but, he is not spewing hate. You need ot turn off CNN.
If you look around the country, Conservatives are not burning down cities and assaulting people. They don’t harass people at restaurants just eating or supporting the President, that is the Left. ANTIFA and BLM are Far Left Lunatics who are physically showing their hate. Liberals cannot have discussions anymore, they just call you racists, xenophobic, etc if you dont agree with them. These are the most intollerant people on the planet yet are always telling people how Tollerant they are but, ONLY if you agree with them.
Troy
Well said and thank-you. Most dads want time with there kids. The laws dictate the number of nights=who gets the support. I know many dads that get there kids and don’t take the support from mom. I would love to know that first posters name that went after him.
