I cannot imagine talking to the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES like that, even one i disagree with. Absolutely disrespectful and disgraceful.

Sometimes I think countries with mandatory military training are correct. In my Army career I rapidly learned "respect the rank, not the person." Which means you can not like a superior, but you still treat him with respect. And in the Army, this includes the President.

Hell, I even treat my inferiors with respect. Everyone gets due respect, as long as they are respectful.

Half of these journalists must have been hit with MK Ultra

I’m serious. I can’t see them but if I visualize them when I hear their obnoxious tone and voice I just see a little blinking antenna popping out of their head like in a cartoon [(orders received must agitate orange man)]

I agree with this approach, however, we may have to change if we are going to win this battle. The best weapon the left has is shame which includes shaming and disrespecting people they have t even met. We need to shame people who vote against our country. Supporting BLM is a shameful act and should be treated as such.

I’d go so far as to say that I’ll SHOW most people respect whether I respect them or not.

Then again, I’m not scared of respectful debate. I can even agree to disagree in most circumstances. The minute you openly disrespect me in conversation, it’ll be top level standup vs heckler and I’ll bury you. And please, don’t make it physical. Even if you can kick my ass, you’ll know I was there. And that’s no way to feel in the morning.

Fast food restaurant worker gets "yes ma'am/sir" and "no ma'am/sir" from me 100% of the time.

Same here.

And if I know their names, it's Miss or Mister: Miss Jean and Mr. Rob, especially if they are older.

I'm in the South.

When calling customer support, I ask their names and ask how they are doing. And I USE their names during the call.

Important to respect people as individuals.

Same here. I had one jokingly call me out on it once because she was maybe 19 and I was in my mid 30's. I just told her it was how I was raised and drove off.

I’d much rather have mandatory military service when you come of age than optional wikipedia degrees and breadth requirements that include them in colleges. One imparts valuable skills and character. The other robs people of them and makes many of them go deranged.

ClownTamer 11 points ago +11 / -0

If we were to have ‘PE’ or breadth requirements in college or elsewhere, military training should definitely be among them. As should finance. We could do without entire subjects from K12 through undergrad, on into graduate school. If we’re going to make something an essential requirement outside of the core focus of a major, or in HS, it should actually impart essential skills and practical knowledge. Hell, make a breadth requirement be minoring in a practical trade like plumbing or construction or being an electrician. I went to a top tier University and people there would have been infinitely better off being ‘forced’ to learn personal finance and plumbing alongside their chosen field than take Erotic Literature 69. Some of the optional PE classes included what’s basically ‘Peaceful walking’. Not joking.

We started with a company of 84 and only 42 graduated. Mandatory enlistment is fine, doesn't mean they graduate. Maybe the drop out will learn something.

I agree that not everyone has what it takes to make it as a career serviceman, but I still think everyone in 99% of cases can serve in some capacity for at least a year or three, sans some disabled folks.

I think if more were dragged out kicking and screaming from press conferences after disrespecting the office, it might incentivize more to show some respect to not just the individual, but the position.

Most of my career was during Obama's Presidency. He was my President even though I didn't vote for him. He was my Commander in Chief. He still got my respect.

13
cara_c 13 points ago +13 / -0

Obama was a usurper with a fake birth story and problems with every single one of his identification documents. He was propped up by a corrupt establishment and controlled media, including the "conservative" media. They thought the people would never know and that those who did know would be powerless to do anything about it. I have only contempt for Obama and those who empowered him. They did incalculable harm to America and Americans.

Liberty1885 10 points ago +16 / -6

I have to disagree a little bit. I still have very libertarian leanings and I really dont have any respect for the office of the president or any other government official. I see them all with the lens of an employer to an employee. They work for me and you and We pay their salaries.

I respect the Man not the Office, that's why I always said "Mr. Obama" and "President Trump"

I saw Obama as a worthless Discrace and while he was in power I held No regard for the Office of president either.

I respect the hell out of Donald Trump though.......Now that is a man who Deserves Respect!! Not because of his power, but because of what he has done with it.

Yeah but the future does not belong to those who slander the goat fucker or something.

What about that guy who made the anti Islamic parody short that they deployed the entire FBI against and effectively gitmoed ?

It was actually Mel Brooks quality stuff if you watch it. No sense of humor.

Angry islamics terrorists turning over bookshelves in someone's home office, a guy earnestly explaining the tax consequences of jihadis to his daughter, and Ali bartering with gay Mohammed to get more pedophilia into the religion over campfire chicken .

My only hope is that when the frothing vitriol has faded a few years after his second term, the media and academia will start looking at him more objectively and realize the good he's done. Far fetched but it's a nice dream.

2
BigPanda71 2 points ago +2 / -0

No so far fetched. There will always be another Republican they need to demonize as the worst ever.

They called George W. Bush every terrible thing in the book, including Hitler. They wrote assassination fantasies about him. Now they love George W and all of the Bushes. No doubt they’ll praise Trump at some point to make the next guy look like a monster.

Wtf_socialismreally 4 points ago +4 / -0

You're not wrong.

This reporter can fuck off. I would've said the same thing with Obama too. This isn't the time and place for the "GOTCHA" type bullshit.

You use your allotted time to ask a question, and if the President of the fucking country moves on, you let him move on.

This isn't some celebrity sweetheart being followed the paparazzi, this is the President of the United States.

The fact that they tried to get people to respect Obama because he was President and can't afford the same shit to Trump is telling.

Every Republican that makes it through from now on will face this, even if they are the nicest people in the world.

This is why we needed Trump, so he'd just essentially say "fuck you" and walk away when you're being a bitch.

cherryred 3 points ago +3 / -0

If anyone EVER from the press gave Obama a hardball question I would've been impressed even if they were rude, because he never got them.

In the same tone, I would be hella impressed if the mainstream media ever asked Trump a question respectfully and with good intent, because these reporters are consistently some of the least professional, least humble, most brainwashed people ever.

Wtf_socialismreally 1 point ago +1 / -0

Well, I mean there's a difference between hard ball questions and pushing an agenda, right?

The left weaponizes "journalists" to push their agendas. Rare is the actual hardball question for Trump from them.

They think he is hitler and they are standing up to fascism. So it is justified in their heads. Of course the opposite is true, but they are delusional.

MW23232 6 points ago +6 / -0

I agree. I think they've been trained and practice on how to treat people disrespectfully and make them feel "one down", and come out looking like the winner. Their tactics are just a one-on-one version of Alinsky's Rules. Same thing they do day in and day out, only on a smaller scale.

supersecretaccount82 5 points ago +5 / -0

There have been plenty of breathless articles by journalists convinced they are Very Smart People who insist that if you just squint hard enough, redefine a few words here and there, maybe apply some abstract post modern idpol stuff, that Trump's actions almost sort of resemble something Hitler mentioned one time.

So yeah, they believe Trump is Hitler.

Mainstream media is bullshit, but don't give me that nonsense that the Jews weren't slaughtered by the Nazis. Come on, man.

-1
YuriBezmenov -1 points ago +1 / -2

Well of course jews were persecuted but the number is far, far lower than six million. Doesn't make it any better but there's something to be said for blowing the situation out of proportion in such a manner. What people fail to realize with all of these identity politics and groups trying to place themselves on the victim hierarchy the last ten years is that jews have been playing that game for hundreds of years. They've sought special privileges by painting themselves as blameless victims consistently throughout history.

People are more or less conditioned to panic at the hint of somebody acknowledging that though; as if it's totally normal to be able to question or doubt the intentions of any other group, but as soon as it's the jews everybody foams out the mouth, it's the modern day "Voldemort" as much as I hate drawing comparisons with fiction.

Oh yes. But everybody sees it. Left, middle, right. Everybody knows their only goal is to "catch him," trip him up. Every word out of their mouths is opposition, pure and simple.

If it was McConnel, Ryan, Rubio, or anybody else at that podium, they would (willingly) fall for it.

But not Trump!
