Trump battles Meryl Streep with tweets as Cabinet picks prepare for grilling

You're legitimizing their crimes of kidnapping and torture. Those clowns are from your side of the fence. Clean up your own yard, then bitch about someone else's.

My side? That's like saying because they are black they are from your side ( :lol:), you clown.

So because someone calls out Trump, our president elect, for mocking a disabled person, they also have to include those those 4 or else?

**** off for saying I am legitimizing their crimes, I at least, have the decency to call out Trump when he deserves it, why don't you take a clue and get your head out of your ass.
 
Why do you seem so upset that people are criticizing President-Elect Trump?

Not at all. The idiotic rhetoric is to be expected. Let me post it again so as to make it easier for you to understand what I already said. I suspect you won't get it the second time either.

I have a new hobby, watching window lickers freak out about Trump's tweets.

It amuses me. :mrgreen:

I find it rather pathetic and hilarious that the people who put a reality TV star into office are breaking down in rather emotional tantrums when a celebrity decides to speak out against him.

They're possibly more thin-skinned than he is.
 
It's been debunked like the Moon landings have been debunked.

No, the moon landings have not been debunked at all. But anybody with any kind of intellectual honesty can easily see that Trump didn't even know the disabled person was there but uses those particular gestures to illustrate his remarks about overreaction by numerous people. He was not mocking anybody disabled, but only those who get all in a dither about something ridiculous. Others have illustrated how this is a typical gesture Trump uses for that purpose in his speeches and had video to prove it.

But that doesn't fit the menu for the leftwing hate machine does it.
 
Would seem that some of our Trump posters are as thin skinned as the man himself. Going to be a long 4 years if you lot start crying everytime some old actress is "mean" to the Donald.

The delusional leaps that conservatives have to make to rationalize Trumps clear mocking of a disabled man never ceases to amaze me.

The videos do not back up your claim.
 
BTW, right after Streep's epic takedown,:

Yes because Trump calling someone who disagrees with him as "Overrated" etc, is anything less than commonplace and predictable.

Honestly, how can any Trump supporter not be embarrassed by his thin skin?

The only thing epic here is Trump's inexcusable behavior.
 
still being dishonest?

the issue is not whether he mocked a reporter=-he did. He mocks all sorts of people including Cruz, other reporters, Hillary, etc

the issue is whether he mocked the reporter over the reporter's disability. You DISHONESTLY are trying to pretend they are the same thing

NO HE DID NOT

As we've been saying form the start. He mocked the reporter BY mocking his disability BECAUSE of something else. Not BECAUSE of his disability. That's still a vile thing to do.

I responded to TD earlier about this.

If it had nothing to do with disability why did he say 'you should have seen this guy... ohhhhhhhhggggggg' with the retarded voice, with the clawed and flailing hands?

As for the Ted Cruz, there are similarities, because he was mocking Ted Cruz as if he was disabled. People draw comparisons like that in insults. It's why people call their non-disabled friends retarded or whatever. It's not really a nice thing to do because it equates the comparison to an insult, but it's an absolutely disgraceful thing to do to someone who is actually disabled.

I've sometimes yelled 'duuuuhhhh' in a dumb voice to my friends when they do something stupid and it's not an issue, but if I were to do that to an actual disabled person you can bet if my mother were there she would give me a slap in the face. For good reason. She didn't raise me to be a bozo. Like Reagan said, in my sig 'Boys will be boys, but boys will not be president'.

You have to keep in mind all the detractors here were so out of touch they thought Hillary would crush Trump in the election. I believe some of their signatures disappeared after Trumps election. Streep is no different, and the idea Hollywood has the high moral ground is patently ridiculous.
 



Are you SERIOUSLY going to attempt to deny that he was mocking a disabled person? Seriously?


But he did it.

Well trot those facts out, a777, so that we might all become enlightened. Most of us believe what we saw and heard. Apparently we have been mislead by our eyes and ears.

a777's argument is that Trump did not mock the disabled reporter BECAUSE he was disabled... a777 kinda has you all in a technical bind.
 
No need to attempt anything at all. That story was quite capably debunked by a number of sources. Here is one:
https://www.catholics4trump.com/the-true-story-donald-trump-did-not-mock-a-reporters-disability/

LOL.....do you honestly believe that you are going to get a unbiased analysis from a site called "Catholics for Trump"?

The video speaks for itself. If you want to engage in all kinds of mental gymnastics to convince yourself that your eyes and ears are wrong....that's on you.

How do you explain Trump prefacing his imitation with "You gotta see this guy......" Doh!

Here's one of the many, many things that's sad about all this:

We're about to say goodbye to a calm, intelligent, morally sound Black man, in favor of an impulsive, stupid, puerile white man.

And yet we're just supposed to give that unqualified white dude a chance? Oh hell no. He has decisively proven that he is unworthy of such a chance.
 
a777's argument is that Trump did not mock the disabled reporter BECAUSE he was disabled... a777 kinda has you all in a technical bind.

a777's argument is a strawman. Streep never said Trump mocked the supporter BECAUSE he was disabled. Most people aren't. They're saying Trump mocked the reporter by mocking his disability BECAUSE of other reasons.

End of the day, he still mocked a disabled persons disability, which is a ****ty thing to do, no matter why you do it.
 
You have to keep in mind all the detractors here were so out of touch they thought Hillary would crush Trump in the election. I believe some of their signatures disappeared after Trumps election. Streep is no different, and the idea Hollywood has the high moral ground is patently ridiculous.

Nevertheless, if good people don't put down the utter stupid and hateful lies told for political expediency, regardless of whether we support or like a person or not, we will never return to be an honest and decent society. I defend Hillary or Obama when they are falsely and maliciously accused, and I damn well will defend Trump when he is falsely and maliciously accused.
 
How do you explain Trump prefacing his imitation with "You gotta see this guy......" Doh!

There's no limit to the, uh, intellectual flexibility, of a trumpanzee.
 
Trump is one of those asshole rich kids that I went to school with. They'd make fun of, torment and bully everyone that they perceived lesser than them. Not an ounce of decency, tact of empathy. Pure sociopaths.

Offices of CEO's and elected officials are often held by sociopaths. They have done studies so it shouldn't surprise anybody. Hilary is the same.

That was the first source I got to. The Trump mocked a disabled reporter has been debunked by numerous honest sources. So rebut what they say if you can. If you cannot, then honesty requires that their explanation be considered.
