CNN, "Trump is a Bully".

[blackribbon]

Actually Trump need to mind his own business about this. And he's supposed to tell us what. That Transgender and don't deserve equal rights. And take all their rights away .Even though Trumps never researched this subject.

What right is a transgender person losing? They are protected by the same Bill of Rights as every other person. Serving in the military isn't a right in case you weren't aware.

A tweet won't ban transgenders from serving. That is only how he must have chosen to announce the decision. There actually has to be a real piece of paper that he puts his name on the bottom. It also has to be an action within the scope of Presidential responsibilities. Considering that he is Commander-in-Chief of all the armed forces, I think that this probably does fall in the accepted scope of his job. If someone disagrees, they can appeal to the Supreme Court and the Justices will have to decide what the Constitution and precidences say about the issue.

What posters were these? I have been alive for 5 decades and haven't seen one.

There's posts all over this forum that do precisely what the parody poster you're referencing does, as well as actual parody posters.

I can't tell if you really are ignorant or if you like to pretend to be when you are acting like the "no trash" poster wasn't a political cartoon insulting all Christian women who support Trump.

Then you really need to work on your reading comprehension since I'm neither. Obviously the poster is intended to provoke. The artist has made numerous posters stereotyping different demographics; it's a form of trolling. He expects people to get butthurt about them, think they're real, go apoplectic on social media & the sort, the reaction you've given is exactly what was obviously desired. You brought the attention of the poster to us here; the artist doesn't have to work at promoting it. As with most parodies, there's irony embedded in it, and I referenced that previously. That poster isn't specifically tailored to you, nor is it about all women, or all Christian women, but a specific subset that you choose to be a part of, as the one about a baseball team was.

Actually, it is honorably to address the people you have issue with...instead of blaming groups of people for the sins of few. Who was unjustly mentioned in one of his tweets? Who is the "innocent party" this time?

There's nothing honorable about taunting & attacking folks with the malicious intent of causing ramifications for them. On this forum that constitutes flaming & is a cause for being booted off on account of it not being acceptable on a Christian site. Trump has done this both by targeting individuals specifically by name, & by "blaming groups of people for the sins of few."

Actually, Yankee fans hate the Red Socks fans as bad as the liberals hate Conservatives. They believe the Red Socks fans are genuine trash. It isn't "in fun" for many of them.

They're the Red Sox. Not the Red Socks. And actually, there's plenty of Yankee fans who don't hate them at all. Not in any genuine way. Just your expected rivalry, trash talking. Do you have any idea how many folks on this forum have trashed talked the Braves to me in threads that had absolutely nothing to do with the Braves? I didn't take that as an insult whatsoever. I chuckled. Started up threads to share out the teams we root for.

I am not butthurt..

Well the tone of your posts sure does fit the very definition of it.

.I am aware that I would not be safe in NYC wearing a MAGA hat instead of a Pink "cat hat.

Well, they're sold in Times Square & plenty of tourists have worn them without incident. The few who've had problems have made the news on account of the rarity of it.

(and thanks for using a sexual term to insult me...how classy of you.)

What the heck????? Actually, this bizarre accusation is showing a lack of class. Ironically, it's again fitting the exact dictionary definition of the word I used as an adjective to describe the tone of your posts - not you as a person. I have not used a sexual term to insult you. Smh.

Just because you word without thinking about it doesn't mean that is isn't a word with a sexual connotation.

Now do you actually have anything of substance to discuss ... like actual political policies? Or is defending the porn star and blaming Trump for the actions of a nut job the extent of your taking a political stance.

CNN is a lie machine.

Do you have any examples?

<she shakes her head> They really had something we needed and couldn't get somewhere else? It is like when my kid "earn" money for doing the dishes. I could just tell them to wash the dishes...but at least this way it looks like they did something before they stuck out their hand for money. 5 Things You Need to Know About the $400 Million America Sent to Iran

Just because you word without thinking about it doesn't mean that is isn't a word with a sexual connotation.

I thought about the adjective & used it deliberately on account of it being an apt description of your tone & reaction. I was addressing the contents of your posts, not you as a poster. I provided you with the dictionary definition of the word.

butthurt
adjective mainly US informal
offended and upset, especially in a way that is silly or unreasonable.

Any sexual connotation is what you chose to connote from it. *Shrugs* That's on you.

Now do you actually have anything of substance to discuss ... like actual political policies? Or is defending the porn star and blaming Trump for the actions of a nut job the extent of your taking a political stance.

I've been discussing the topic of the thread, which is what exactly what we're all supposed to be doing since the rules of the forum dictate as such. This is not a thread about political policies. I haven't defended any porn star, nor have I blamed Trump for the actions of anyone but himself. He's to blame for his incendiary rhetoric & poor leadership, but not for sending the bombs.

I'd say he's more toxic con-man. but bully is accurate. Notice how he goes most viciously after women and those less popular than him (until he's for them). Typical bully behavior. He'd have eaten many knuckle sandwiches if he didn't have goons.

No wonder Hannity worships the ground his cult leader walks on.

I often make that mistake.

<she shakes her head>

Ugh, this condescending garbage isn't going to go well.

They really had something we needed and couldn't get somewhere else? It is like when my kid "earn" money for doing the dishes. I could just tell them to wash the dishes...but at least this way it looks like they did something before they stuck out their hand for money.

This failed analogy shows that I was right and you never fact checked the claim you're parroting. To put it in simple terms, it was their money given to US for goods we never delivered.

Did you even read your own link? Again, it was their money.

>> “The Iranians wanted $10 billion,” says Sick.”I estimate that the tribunal would have awarded them $4 billion. That’s what the lawyers were saying. It’s not as much as they wanted, but a lot more than we paid.” <<

I started to quote you to agree with you but didn't exactly on account of how I figured you'd edit just as you did, lol.

You were right, but yeah not worth it.

 

[KCfromNC]

Lol, this is like if CNN said "the sun is hot."

More like "global temperatures rising.". As in, it is an obvious fact which some political groups need people to deny in order to stay in power.

 

[KCfromNC]

What, fight for homosexual deviancy and all sorts of sinful behavior

I don't know, I haven't seen many Christians actively fight for Trump's sinful sexual behavior. More like accept that it is part of the deal for getting someone to pay lip service to banning abortion.

Ive included a poll to see how many think Trump is a bully in General, not just in this article.

CNN: Trump a bully?

Old saying .... takes one to know one. ;o)

 

[rambot]

I actually think he is very patient and tolerant of borish behavior.

The woman was a reporter that he knows well and speaks to on a regular basis (as is every president's relationship with the other reporters that regularly cover the white house). Notice how they usually call the reporter by 1st name.

There is also proper etiquette for a White House Press Conferences...which include the reporters know what the topic of each press conference is. You don't get to unilaterally turn it to a topic that you want to ask about. SHE broke the rules. She was out of line asking a question that was off-topic. He was calm and didn't take her bait...and didn't let the conference go "off-topic" just because she was rude and wanted to talk about something else. (Even CF has a rule that a thread has to stay "on-topic" as defined by the original post).

To say that she was bullied is insulting to her. It says that she is a "poor little girl that needs defending" instead of an accomplished journalist who is good enough at her profession to be part of the group who is allowed to participate in the White House press conferences.

Funny that you all talk about the President's bullying. The truth is that I feel so bullied by the minority party that I don't feel safe to express my support of the legally elected president most of the time. I am glad when he pushes back because he seems like the only person who is supporting the silent majority who actually do support him. I didn't have a lot of hope when he was first elected but I am impressed that in spite of all people who are intentionally trying to make his job harder, he is actually accomplishing what he promised. He may turn out to be historically one the best presidents we ever have had. We definitely were in need of someone who isn't a professional politician to get a leadership position in Washington, DC.

A poster on a trash can in NYC: "Christian women who support Trump are trash."

More than anything it saddens me when antagonists do their thing.
Id get upset about this antagonistic poster but you have a flipping President who is a monstrous antagonizer. So I just put it in perspective

He is he is the opposite of a snowflake.
Justin Trudeau, who is a nice guy with great hair, and a bit of a squish, may justifiably regard Trump as something of a bully after the latest round of trade talks for sure.
From scanning stories of how Canadian attitudes toward Trudeau have changed after those negotiations, the bottom line does not centre on sugar and spice and everything nice versus the snake and snail attributes of the bully, but on winner vs loser.

 

[Rubricnigel]

I don't know, I haven't seen many Christians actively fight for Trump's sinful sexual behavior. More like accept that it is part of the deal for getting someone to pay lip service to banning abortion.

I never fought for his sinful nature, and as much scrutiny as he's under, hope that helps him stop all that sinful behavior, and see the error of it all, focus on the usa and do a good job.
If i had my way, we would have a hardcore Christian in office, but the majority of americans would never vote for someone like that so.......
