True, no true Jimmy Dore "fan" like him would apologize for Orange Peter Griffin.Gern Blansten said:
They were on a first name basis....yeah I believe he didJC29856 said:
ok fair enough... u think trump or pearl jam remembers reporters from the 1980s?Gern Blansten said:
What does that have to do with Trump lying about not knowing what the reporter looked like?JC29856 said:
when did these interviews happen? before or after 911? (when the reporter dont remember events related to the most newsworthy event in american history?)Gern Blansten said:
Do you read the items that you post? The reporter says that he interviewed Trump in person more than a few times. Trump was clearly mocking his disability.JC29856 said:
maybe you were duped... I cant be sure bec I dont know Trumps intentions but some devilish details casts doubt on MSM and Hilliars claims. If he never acted out so foolishly mocking others, I would be more inclined to believe you and them. Like I said in any event most people probably dont know the backstory and it didnt help Hilliary anyway.rgambs said:
It's beyond clear that he was mocking his disability. Only a pro-Trump bias could lead a rational person to conclude otherwise.JC29856 said:
No question Trump was mocking him, backtracking on remembering the story, like he mocked others but was he mocking his disability? That's what Hilliary and MSM claimed.rgambs said:It's beyond clear that he was mocking him.
What "details" are you referring to that cast doubt on that?
Plus...the guys said something to the effect of "NO....it didn't happen (the way Trump described "thousands")...not to my memory"
That doesn't mean he is questioning his own memory.
You have become quite the Trump apologist.0 -

People will still dispute it as not true though and will still insist President Trump was mocking.0 -
JC29856 said:
Without knowing with certainty whether Trump was mocking the reporter in general like he has so many others or if he mocked the disability not being certain if he has ever had anything against the disabled, the question is what's more reprehensible?
1. Mocking people in general
2. Mocking this reporter because he "don't remember"
3. Using a disability for political gain
Remember Trump denied mocking the disability many times well before the tv ad.

The mindset is that not only Hollywood, but the whole country is made up of people from somewhere else, and if you're agenda is divisiveness, then we all lose something as a result of that divisiveness. One side will not "win" over the other.JC29856 said:
"Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners and if we kick them all out, you'll have nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts, which are not the arts,"HughFreakingDillon said:not to mention she lifted up hollywood at the same time as bringing down athletes, she completely discredited herself in the midst of one sentence.
this gives you a glimpse into the mindset and outlook.

Lol
Trump was criticized the moment he mocked the guy. He never apologized or made excuses for himself at the time from what I can remember. Now... he feels the need to deny he mocked the guy?
There's no question he was belittling him. No question. At all. Don't be foolish suggesting maybe he wasn't.
And you see... this is how he got elected. People just wanted him to be what he wasn't- ignoring the reality (which is horrendous) and choosing to believe what they hoped to believe.
Let's Make America Great Again. Just put this in your sights and keep peripheral vision to an all time low.
It's hilarious. Sociology textbooks need revisions. This has demonstrated stuff that is simply unfathomable. Trump? President of the US? Hahahahahahaha.

Based on those Putin Russia hacked emails that were sent to an intermediary then sent to wikileaks and how they see minorities I could see your belief, I would think thou knowing it was a bigly ad, they at minimal made him aware it was going to air, if not got his approval.PJfanwillneverleave1 said:

directed at me or not, I am getting so sick of those words, "safe space/place" and "triggered". anytime someone has a differening opinion now it's muddled down to being kneejerk and without merit. *sigh*dignin said:

Anyone w/ a microphone has the power to say anything. Good AND bad in some cases.HughFreakingDillon said:I am conflicted about the Meryl Streep speech. On one hand, she's right, that we (the public) and they (the media) need to hold Trump accountable and not normalize his behaviour.
On the other hand, putting celebrities on a pedestal and giving them this platform and encouraging them to believe that we should all sit and listen to whatever it is they have to say, for no other reason than they look good on tv, is the exact reason we are where we are today.
Trump as President does not exist without celebrity fascination in the US.
Honestly, had she not torn down athletes (intentional or not) while elevating actors, I might have nothing to say about it at all (and besides MMA, I'm not a big sports fan). The message was great until that dig on those not in the arts community. she came off as self-important and I hate that shit.
at least when Ed does it, he is the first to admit his opinion holds no more weight than anyone else's.
Hollywood is most likely going to be a target (like journalism already is) of this administration, not sports. I can understand why she is speaking out. Very commendable and needed.
The people upset about someone using their platform to speak their mind need to find a safe place where they won't be triggered (not directed at you Hugh).
when someone shouts into the microphone and yells "AND IT IS NOT ART!!!!", tells me it's highly possible she has an issue with it.
maybe it's because Dana White spoke at the RNC. I don't know. But she also, right after the MMA comment, made a point of saying "violence begets violence", which, while obviously true in a societal context, seemed timed to coincide with the comment.
she left what she said and how she said it just vague enough to be left open to interpretation and open for denial.By The Time They Figure Out What Went Wrong, We'll Be Sitting On A Beach, Earning Twenty Percent.0 -
As the parent of a child of a developmental disability, Trump absolutely made fun of those who are disabled by doing what he did in mocking a person w/ a disability.
Anytime that you use the retard word, you are using derogatory speech against those who are physically, mentally or developmentally disabled who can't even defend themselves.
However, yes everything that Trump says is mocking someone else. It's embarrassing, it's wrong, and the media eating it all up is gonna send us to the pit of Hell.0 -

I've only said it 3 times, there are his tweets in plain sight, nobody including trump is denying mocking the guy, for not remembering, trump says he didn't mock the guys disability.
So much for eyes ears and critical thinking!0 -
Don't forget 'buthurt' as well. That's another goofy term used to agitate (because it does nothing else).HughFreakingDillon said:

She took a teeny weeny dig at athletics. It was reasonable. As a former university athlete and avid, lifelong sport enthusiast... I didn't take any offence. I never detected malice as much as I detected playfulness.
I could be wrong though.
She definitely took a shot at the orange man. I was okay with it. Trump has stepped up in the public eye to a level that might be his undoing- he's not even sworn in and he's already as defensive as a kicked kitten. This is going to be very difficult for him- especially since he can't keep his mouth shut given his impulsive nature."My brain's a good brain!"0
