We do. We're a violent nation, our media and entertainment, sports and even music. It all drips with violence.

Then why are liberals so up in arms about a funny, non-violent gif?

Not sure why "liberals are up in arms" I personally find it crass(why his base finds it funny) non-professional and beneath the office. It's one thing to poke fun at yourself but this is something entirely different.

I think its funny. Is it beneath the office of president? Probably. Do I care? Not really.

We have done this dance. You aren't capable of finding flaws in your own sources. Or the limitations of your sources. Why would I do the work for you when you will just deny deny deny...because "experts" said so lol.

Actually, the way debate works, it is YOU who is suppose to find the flaws in my sources if you object to them. And you have failed to do that.
 
Presidents should be 'above the fray'. Shouldnt engage in such behaviors. Right?



And the thing is...that was FUNNY! I laughed...you did too...admit it. The whole mean tweets edition he did was funny.

Right up until 9 November.

Why was it OK for CNN (or other media) to re-show the video multiple times and then claim that Trump doing so once was somehow bad?

This is not really a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but I hate that we're quickly lowering the bar for acceptable POTUS behavior to the literal floor, to the level of idiot drunks and comedians and Twitter trolls.

I quit watching cable news several years ago because it is for the most part just reality TV, and I don't really see a link between acceptable behavior for Trump, POTUS, the leader of the free world, and CNN whose business is to get people watching so advertisers keep buying ads and to get clicks on its online stuff. So I guess I don't think about it being "OK" or not for CNN to do it, so much as it's their business model, and expected. Controversy gets people tuned in and to keep watching or clicking.

To be fair, the other party to that exchange was begging for a beat down on that claim.

I don't really care if you did or didn't. But when you jump on the melodramatics about professionalism in the White House when you are old enough to remember Clinton getting a Lewinsky in the Oval Office...then you really should know better than to...well...jump on the melodramatics about there being no more professionalism in the White House.

But that's just another version of "But Mom, HE did it FIRST!"

I think we can all agree that what Clinton did was reprehensible, so it's not clear to me how that in any way excuses what Trump did. Either it's beneath the office or it's not, and pointing to other acts that were beneath the office doesn't really change the analysis in my view.

Like I said...I could present them to you...you will just deny them as flaws. Let's list a few and you can tell me why these aren't flaws.

1) Why exclude counties with less than 50K?

2) What kind of college degrees? 4 years in what? Will that impact their voting?

3) Does their geographic location impact their voting more than their education?

4) Why do other college graduates not vote democrat?

5) If those 4 year degree students vote republican...does that mean they are less educated?

There are so many flaws in this study and how you are trying to apply it I actually have to decide which ones are even worth listing depending on how I assume you will deny them. I mean seriously. If you are going to apply this in any meaningful way...you really should understand what you are gaining as meaningful information.

Geographic area and voting democrat vs republican in Counties with populations over 50,000 vs college degrees. About the only thing I might gather from this would be about the education system and the degrees. What I want to know is how many of these people remain in the same area that they were schooled in high school.

Lmao! Dude.

If the claim is trump ruined professionalism in the White House...then it is bogus. He didn't. It was gone already. This isn't about making excuses for stupid behavior. This is specifically that trump's unprofessional behavior is any different than other ridiculous unbecoming behavior of the president. He just has twitter lol.

You find it funny when a President acts like a 12 year old?

Like I said, "BUT HE DID IT FIRST, MA!!!"

My mom didn't buy it when I was 4, and it doesn't work any better for a 70 year old Twitter troll than it does for a 4 year old. :roll:

And yet dumb enough to vote for Hillary...a scandal ridden megalomaniac whose "charity" is a lovely front to get money for political favors. You seem to think the perennial loser was any better than trump.

To be fair, three hairs from the crack of my ass would be better than trump. :)

To be honest, I'm rather surprised at the Whataboutery in this thread...oh wait, the opposite of that, sorry.

Hey. Don't get me wrong. I'm fully aware of trump's issues. And anything he does can be explained by him being a narcissist. Legitimately. Just ask what a narcissist would do and you can predict his response. It is just ridiculous though for someone to claim that trump is any different in terms of lack of "presidential" qualities than other past presidents.
