Eric Trump says he was assaulted at a Chicago restaurant

[3leftsdoo]

As previously noted, how many threads would we have decrying the right as Nazis if this happened to one of the Obama girls?

A dozen?

More?

Oh, I'm sorry...you mentioned a rapist. I assumed you were talking about Bill Clinton.

Indeed, I did mention a rapist. Donnie twump.

 

[Tanngrisnir]

Look, this guy should be treated same as anyone else who spit on anyone else while working with the public-- he should be terminated, and he should be threatened with felony assault charges, and he should plead down to a misdemeanor.

If we're lucky, he will actually serve more time than Brock Turner.

In the meantime, a Trump is lecturing millions of people-- who didn't spit on him-- about civility and tolerance and the fascist goons who voted for him can't even identify what's wrong with that.

Thing is, spitting on someone isn't felony assault (technically battery).

It's okay for kids to die in CBP facilities, but no one should dare mess with a Trump

Too bad so sad. **** that entire crime family.

Trump personally dragged sick children through the desert.

He is New Zombie Coyote Hitler!

Do you believe the latest whackjob accuser? LOL!

She thinks most women think rape is SEXY!

She also loved her The Apprentice.

The Left will justify the attacks on Trump officials no matter how depraved or dangerous they are.

 

[3leftsdoo]

I....are you serious?

Look, I don't know why I have to explain this to anyone over the age of two but intentionally spitting on someone for ANY reason is a severe expression of disrespect and people who have a shred of human decency don't do that to anyone else.



Some of the replies in this thread are beyond disturbing. That people can allow themselves to become so completely unhinged over political disagreements is beyond my comprehension.

"I don't condone the action but here's a couple of reasons why I find it completely understandable and why it's wholly appropriate to blame the victim for the assault. I mean, heck, he pretty much goaded the guy into doing it!"

If only Eric Trump was a woman in a tight skirt walking down a dark street all by herself....right?

Why are you sharing your fantasies with me about Eric Trump wearing a skirt? Also, who were you quoting in that post. Not me. Because if you're pretending that I said anything about blaming a victim for his or her assault, you're lying.

Eric Trump says he was spit on at Chicago restaurant - CNNPolitics

Totally disgusting and uncalled for. Hopefully, the Aviary fires this animal and he/she never works in the restaurant business ever again!!

The person that did this, assuming it's all true, should be arrested on assault and go through the criminal process, and by all accounts that's what's happening. It's unacceptable. We should use words to disagree, not spitting in people's faces.

I just wish Trump supporters could get even half this outraged when we have little kids unable to take showers, not given warm meals and clean clothes, taken from their parents and guardians with no tracking system to get them reunited, when the president of the united states offers to pay the legal bills for anyone that assaults a protestor or when the president brags about and endorses a politician that body slammed a reporter. That's the difference between trump supporters and the majority of the rest of the country. If a Demo candidate comes out tomorrow and starts bragging about someone spitting in Eric Trumps face, or offers to pay the legal bills, or encourages more actions like this, I would pull all support from that candidate and express how that's unacceptable behavior from a president. So they'll bitch and moan and whine as though this is the most horrific thing to ever happen, and they'll bitch and moan that I dare mention little kids without proper care or Trumps support of assault while acting high and mighty for no good reason.

Poor behavior, but if you make a hobby of collecting enemies, this sort of thing is gong to come up.

Consider this fellow very likely knew the secret service was present, and felt strongly enough about it to go there.

Brassy, if not especially wise. Hope he had a friend filming it.

 

[DamnYankee]

They aren't really justifying the act (and will likely tell you so in a couple more posts) but they damned sure aren't condemning it. See, as far as they're concerned it's fine to treat people you disagree with politically as less than human.

Civilized people would condemn such behavior.

[DamnYankee]

As you can see in this thread, it's not just "cool", it's CELEBRATED!

I wouldn't expect anything less from the nutjob left.

Normal everyday folks would think that kind of behavior as unacceptable..

If he had lived during those times, he would call them strong leaders

A lot of us normal folks have advanced well beyond the behavior of "those times."

 

[roughdraft274]

And therein lies the problem. When it becomes acceptable by supporters of one party to abuse, physically, supporters of another political party then we get some idiot who feels a need to reciprocate.

I completely understand where you're coming from. You're upset that random people on a debate forum aren't properly denouncing these actions. But you don't give a flying **** that the president of the united states likes to joke and brag about a Republican body-slamming a reporter. You have given up any and all territory on this matter. Your opinion on this matter is worthless. It has no merit. You have conceded the entire landscape when you support a president that encourages violence the way he does. You need to understand that.

 

[tres borrachos]

A lot of us normal folks have advanced well beyond the behavior of "those times."

To the new times of assaulting reporters? Is that the advancement you speak of?

 

[WCH]

Cops will beat the crap out of you for spitting on them. For good reason...it's a bio-hazard.

 

[tres borrachos]

Civilized people would condemn such behavior.

Civilized people are condemning it. Just like civilized people condemned his father's behavior when his father thought it was funny to body slam reporters.

To mention there are several communicable diseases that one can be infected by sputum. It's disgusting.

:donkeyfla

That's not whataboutism. You should read up on the Tu Quoque fallacy since whataboutism is a variant of that logical fallacy. If I were saying that what this person did is ok because trump supporters don't complain about similar things that right wingers do, then it would be a fallacy. But I actually agree that what this person did is wrong. So it can't be a Tu Quoque fallacy, or even technically a "whataboutism" since I already conceded that you are correct regarding the argument that what this person did is wrong.

Glad I could help!

I beat I guys ass in a formal life for spitting on me. Broke my hand.

Spitting on someone is a chicken **** move. No wonder the leftists support it.

 

[Mr Person]

Since when is spitting on someone you despise/disagree with treating them as less than human?

Not saying I'd do such a thing or agree with someone doing so, but still.

I....are you serious?

But ripping kids from families and putting them together on a cold floor, lights on all the time, no soap, other toiletries missing, with aluminum ****ing foil for a 'blanket' isn't "a severe expression of disrespect"?

People who have a shred of human decency do support doing that to kids because something something illegal makes them not human anymore?




Dude, I can't say what I want up here, but holy **** are your priorities messed up. Yeah, spitting on someone is pretty gross, rude, and disgusting. Yeah, Eric doesn't deserve getting spat on for what daddy did. But if you're going to throw this big of a fit about some miserable spit, you damn well better be screaming form the rooftops all day about the administration's treatment of children no matter what label you put on them. The kids are being treated like animals, probably developing severe PTSD to the last, which will haunt them for decades and decades. Where's your sense of priorities? Decency? Justice?

Or are illegals "animals" like Trump said, and thus not worthy of your concern? And thus Eric Trump being spat on is the biggest wrong here?

Two wrongs don't make a right, but one of the wrongs is way worse than the other. Or at least, "people who have a shred of human decency don't do" one of those things ever, for any reason, and I ain't talking about spitting.

I am most certainly not going to put on a big show of huffing and puffing about spitting when the only purpose would be to placate - not that it would ever get me anything - people who are actually happily advocating for a far more dehumanizing policy that affects thousands and thousands of children. If you defend his immigration policy, you have no place acting offended that liberals aren't condemning someone for spitting on Eric Trump.

 

[bearpoker]

The animal assaulted Eric Trump. How can you defend such despicable behavior?

Nobody is defending the spitting. It's not defensible. They're just not getting worked up about it. Compared to what Trump does every day, it's just small potatoes.

 

[Ikari]

Well it sounds like the culprit was caught and arrested, though the Secret Service won't say if charges were brought. Though I suspect that they are, and should be. You can't run around spitting on people, it's not going to benefit the Republic and it's not going to solve problems. So appropriate charges need to be made.

However, I do find it funny to hear Trumpeteers crying about civility.
