Not nitpicking over dumb crap would be nice for ya'll, but that doesn't seem like it will happen.Were you here for the "scandal " about Obama not wearing a flag pin?
Just a tiny bit of consistency would be nice.
Or maybe just pointing out your own hypocrisy when it comes to these matters. What's good for the goose isn't good for the gander apparently.It is one of the most basic tactics for insecurity and dishonesty: deflection.
If you can supplement it with "subtle" insults, and reinforce the idea that popular opinion agrees with you, deflection can be a powerful tool of psychological exploitation.
I especially like how those who deflect assume the person cannot recognize/understand what is being done. This is a delusion grown from the dishonesty, insecurity and faith in their deflection.
Typically, maieutics on well them so that they expose themselves. Sometimes, they beat you too it without realizing it.
Actually, no. We're not. We're not showing obvious double standards just days after arguing about the importance of respecting our national symbols.No doubt at all in my end. You guys can call Trump a hypocrite when it's you guys being the hypocrite and the liar.
Which is the exact point. If Obama was telling people they were all unpatriotic for not putting their hands on their heart, then the criticism is valid. 45 is running around talking about revering the flag and then he goes to a military base and completely ignores something people must stop for and salute the flag. And then he goes around making jokes during the procession. I wouldn't care had he not spent his time whining about black people trying to make the country better. Yes, I did refer to black people because the president has a problem anytime people of color or women speak up.When did Obama ever raise such a stink over flag etiquette?
THIS WASN'T THE NATIONAL ANTHEM! THIS WAS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SONG WITH COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STANDARDS. Again, what don't you get about that? You're trying to compare different things, but apply the same standards JUST to be mean and difficult. And that's why you're being dishonest.Actually, no. We're not. We're not showing obvious double standards just days after arguing about the importance of respecting our national symbols.
But it is entertaining watching you guys scramble to cover for Trump's shortcomings. Over. And. Over. Again.
We're talking about the flag.that wasn't the national anthem.
Kneeling during the national anthem does nothing to make the country better.Which is the exact point. If Obama was telling people they were all unpatriotic for not putting their hands on their heart, then the criticism is valid. 45 is running around talking about revering the flag and then he goes to a military base and completely ignores something people must stop for and salute the flag.

That cognitive disonance looks painfulTHIS WASN'T THE NATIONAL ANTHEM! THIS WAS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SONG WITH COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STANDARDS. Again, what don't you get about that? You're trying to compare different things, but apply the same standards JUST to be mean and difficult. And that's why you're being dishonest.
I have nothing more to add to this conversation. You guys are trying to throw onto him rules made ONLY for enrolled and uniformed service members, of which Trump is not. This doesn't apply to him, where if it was the national anthem, then you might have a story. But this is just another blatant attempt to attack the president over something petty. If you disagree, then fine, but stop with the intellectual dishonesty. You guys look too desperate.
Your logic is incorrect here.No doubt at all in my end. You guys can call Trump a hypocrite when it's you guys being the hypocrite and the liar.
Because you've noticed you can't keep defending someone who will just walk all over your efforts in a day or two with another offensive tweet or some other silly hypocritical gaffe you'll find yourself trying to defend?I have nothing more to add to this conversation.
Or maybe just pointing out your own hypocrisy when it comes to these matters. What's good for the goose isn't good for the gander apparently.
What are you talking about? He did neglect to put his hand over his heart years ago. I was never taught to put my hand over my heart during the National Anthem, and I can easily believe he didn't know either. Anyway, name-calling does not give you extra credit.When did Obama ever raise such a stink over flag etiquette?
Besides... Is Obama really the standard you want to have for patriotic displays?
I thought he was un-American to you guys. I thought y'all wanted a real American who respects the flag and isn't ashamed... Not some commie socialist Muslim Kenyan atheist globalist who hates America and our troops!
Yes the standard being that civilians stand and respect the flag. Trump, who as you have said was educated in a military academy and should be aware of this instead chose instead to carry on with a media interview.THIS WASN'T THE NATIONAL ANTHEM! THIS WAS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SONG WITH COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STANDARDS. Again, what don't you get about that? You're trying to compare different things, but apply the same standards JUST to be mean and difficult. And that's why you're being dishonest.
Have you ever gone to a friend's home and seen this poster?Kneeling during the national anthem does nothing to make the country better.
Maybe his bone spurs were acting up?Military site Task and Purpose was the first to notice Trump sitting during the song. According to Task and Purpose, uniformed service members are required to stop what they're doing and salute the flag as its lowered during the song while civilians are required to place their hand over their heart
Trump sits, talks through song lowering the flag at military base amid NFL anthem controversy
The whole time I was growing up in the very patriot New England we put our hands over our hearts for the pledge but not the anthem. Obama was raised the same by his grandfather who was a military veteran.I guess that's only a Trump thing.
