Where’s the kicking and screaming?

kicking and screaming
A phrase used to describe someone who has been forced (to go somewhere or do something) with extreme reluctance, especially despite lengthy or vehement protests. Often used as part of the phrase "dragged kicking and screaming". I really thought Mike would be perfect for the job, but he had to be dragged kicking and screaming to an interview for it. When we were kids, we were dragged kicking and screaming to our grandparents' boring old house every summer for two weeks.

When a lady who is on the White House staff and in charge of the microphone and told by the president to move on it is not polite for a man to just hold tightly to the microphone and refused her. I would call him a bully. Secret Service Goats should have forcibly removed the microphone from his hand and him from the grounds.

Next time President Trump instead of sending the nice pretty lady for the microphone send a big rough man after it and see if he is so refused.

And who are the experts on bullying?
Yeah okay.
More smoke screen.

Good news just out goats jumping with joy one jumped over his fence and ran down the dirt road. Now I have to go looking for him.
BREAKING: White House Suspends Jim Acosta's Hard Press Pass

Bob this really strains credulity. On the one hand you have one guy - Trump- who quite literally described on video how he has regularly sexually assaulted women, has a history of walking in on the young women in changing rooms at his beauty pageants, has ditched 2 of his wives for younger models and cheated on all of them, on the other hand you have a reporter asking questions who quite rightly is pushing the president to explain why he described a group of refugees as an 'invasion' and, quite rightly, pushes for an answer - that's his job! Do you really not get that? I mean all bias aside - you genuinely don't get that? You don't see any irony in describing the second as disrespectful to women rather than the first?

The goats have that memorized now but I'm not impressed.

Bob, you strike me as someone who is capable of changing his position when enough information is presented.

Just think about Tom’s questions for a while...

The reporter was rude and it's the old double standard once again. You probably have not heard but there was only one time when a reporter got slightly off the wall with Obama and the whole world screamed. Nothing like the rudeness shown to the president. When the President says he's done with your questions that means he's done with your questions you don't keep talking and you don't hold the microphone back from the young lady that was asked to retrieve it.

Due to your request I reread Tom's post and no there are no similarities that I can find. And most everybody sick and tired of hearing about the same old things that Trump did in the past. A lot of people have a couple of Ex-Wives. And as I have stated before his past behaviors don't bother me that much because I was not voting for a pastor or an elder.

True Trump ain't no saint.
There you go I agreed to that.

Let's see what the guy can do while he is in office and grade him on that later and not grade him on all of his past behaviors before he was president some which go back 10 to 20 years -- who cares?

What about his actions during the campaign? Can those actions be criticized?

People can criticize Trump all they wish and I myself wish that the man would change some of his ways, but as we all know Trump is Trump and I say that I need to take the better with some of the worst. Bottom line is I'm happy with the job he's doing I'll put his personality disorders aside.

I have mentioned before the condition in which I think Trump suffers with and my wife is in agreement we could call her a professional in the field but I wish not to mention it by name again because I know it stirs a lot of people up trying my best not to do that today up top the mountain God bless Bob

What about his current actions then Bob...?

Paying off inappropriate content stars wasn’t something from his murky past....that was done on the eve of the election, so that people like you wouldn’t hear about it and possibly have your conscience change your vote...

Indeed Bob...there’s a double standard at work here. You follow in Trump’s footsteps and heavily criticise the reporter for his rudeness. Yet, and by your own admission, Trump is far worse in his treatment of others, yet you give him a pass because he’s on your ‘team’...

Double standard defined...

If your adoration were merely limited to his policy successes, that would be one thing. But lauding him while complaining about Obama's allegedly embarrassing us on the world stage takes it to another level that suggests it's not just about policy.

Refresh my memory when did I say that?
Good night I will look for the answer tomorrow.
Might take that long to find it?

The reason why Acosta's press credentials were revoked was to ensure that we are never faced with a situation where the Secret Service would have to haul him out of the conference kicking and screaming...
Oh man, that’s funny.

There are a lot of media members that could use a good body slam.
You have heard it said “Love your friends and hate your enemies”. But I say to you “Give your enemies a good body-slam”.

That’s part of the issue - although Trump continues with the same kind of behaviour, in what ways has he changed? What should be more concerning is when you have the leader of a nation acting and speaking like a tinpot dictator, refusing to answer questions, saying whatever he feels like at any given moment without any concern for the consequences other people then have to live with. It’s not long since we had dictators right across Eastern Europe, and that’s how they behave. Trump isn’t getting better, he’s getting worse.
