I only lurk on these threads but post v occasionally when enraged to the point of insanity.
Sorry but those tweets have just enraged me to the point of insanity.
AND the astounding defence of them by that Huckabee woman.
I mean I know it's her job to defend the indefensible. I know she knows the orange wanker is watching.
But PLEASE.
'The only role model I tell my kids to have is God'???!!!! What, so the President of the United States shouldn't be someone kids look up to, ever, at all?!
The President of the United States is, apparently, some kinds of 'fighter' who 'won't back down from a challenge' and 'has to sit and take personal attacks every day and he's had enough??'
Sweet Jesus.
Did he think being President was going to be like the campaign trail, hundreds of thousands of gullible fools cheering his every asinine and belligerent utterance, with nary a word of criticism from electorate or media or fellow polictians?
Oh, hang on, he probably did think that...
Does he think any other President in history has been immune from daily attacks from those who disagree with them? And that those who were attacked on a daily basis (ie all of them, cos they're politicians and THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS) ever resorted to the kind of nasty, snidey name-calling that would get my 4yo in trouble at pre-school?
How can ANYONE stand up there and spout that kind of crap in defence of him?
Agree 10000000% with Ana Navarro, the GOP need to start condemning this in the strongest POSSIBLE terms, ALL of them.
It is a shocking message to give you the billions of young people around the world, that it's OK to insult women, their appearance, 'psycho's' (has anyone else picked up that he's very rude about mental health?) anyone with a 'low IQ'... that's it's OK to just sit at a keyboard and spout malign crap about people because - oh my GOD - they may have said a 'mean thing' about you... get a fucking tougher skin, you utter utter pillock!
And Sarah Huckabee whatsit shoudl be ashamed of herself. 'Oh, I get this eveyr day and I don't go crying about it...' Erm, well, in this case the woman attacked by Trump DIDN'T 'go crying about it' - she was defended by ALMOST EVERYONE ELSE ON THE PLANET before she even said so much as a word in complaint herself... and Sarah Huckabee Sanders, are the people (wrongly) criticising your appearance a bunch of anonymous possibly-14-year-old boys on the Internet, a few random Twitter users or THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES?????????
I think therein, perhaps, lies the important difference.
Rant over. Sorry I had to get that off my chest.
Thanks for all who keep up the info on these threads.
