Is this one offensive? It was when he was making fun of someone. Our President.

You have seen the entire clip, have you not? I agree he was mocking someone, but not a physical defect, as the left likes to falsely report. If mocking someone is the bar you set, I think you would be wise to first apply it to all the others in the political arena as well as those in the press

Yep. I have. Just a huge coincidence I guess that the person was handicapped. Crazy how that happened.

So back when you could buy a new car for 1000 bucks and rent a house for 80 bucks a month...I remember those days......cost 25 cents to go to a movie...people got 3 bucks an hour...gas 19 cents a gallon..cup of coffee...a thin dime..doctors made house calls

The bottom line after it all shook out was any hard-working guy could provide for all of his family's needs and wants, buy a nice home, drive a fairly new car, pretty awesome healthcare, Mom could be a fulltime Mom, teachers only had to teach, and they could all depend on retiring very nicely on a generous annuity from their employer.

It was the peak of The American Dream.

Also, they had this thing called Freedom of Speech, which was incredible! It's impossible to describe the feeling, knowing that you could simply express your thoughts on anything, out loud, without condemnation or prosecution.

He did learn a lesson on that though, Pryor to that, he had used that "hapless" portrayal towards others. He has not done so to my knowledge afterwards.

Why would you ask me then? You can't be asking me if something is offensive to someone else?
People in here tell me all the time that I am not the judge of what is offensive to other, like say, black people. Only they are the judge of this.
So perhaps this is correct and I can only answer for myself and must rely on my complement others to fill in the whole.

It’s common sense, I thought.

Good morning riverman!

I have a question for you;
Why does this picture of Trump offend you? And I assume it does, because you post it without comment.

It does not offend me. And I wonder, why the difference?

Would I do what he is doing? No, but it does not offend me if he does, since I know whom will be offended.

I've worked with the handicapped for years...when you make fun of them I get offended....got it?

You asked a question...albeit a dumb question so I clarified it for you...got it? I don't fear your lack of sensitivity for the disabled...I feel sorry for you if you identify with this behavior or condone it....if you don't want the answers....don't ask the questions eh? I've got no tolerance for Trump's bullying tactics...he embarrasses himself with this behavior.

He mocked a reporter wheelchair bound who is indeed handicapped and he knew it........the world knew it...it's on camera as is the interview with the handicapped journalist..this is not a made up story....fake news excuses don't work in this case..it was just another case of bad behavior...he also mocked Asians when he faked a condescending Asian accent while talking about China....my Chinese in laws heard it loud and clear...and they were shocked.

Gotta say, our friend @riverman rarely gets snarky. He argues facts and passion. With a couple of extra dots thrown in.... He doesn't ever play mean. I would say the same it true about you too @MarAzul, even though you are thoroughly misguided politically.

Joking, I'm joking!!!

With my many years of trying to have a discussion with marzy on OLive, I see he is still up to his old tricks of avoiding discussions, answering questions and posting barley translatable responses. Nice to see nothing has changed, lol.
 
[QUOTE="

Russia: Just yesterday the head of the NSA says he has not been told to try to shutdown future Russian hacking.

.[/QUOTE]

I have not read any of the comments in this thread, and do not have time to. Just wanted to make a comment about the "Hacking" mentioned in the OP.

For the NSA to tell Russia to stop hacking would be like Fatty Felton telling others to stop eating donuts while he is standing in front of the Voodoo bakery with half eaten donuts in each hand.

If lists are made of the the countries that do the most hacking, and which countries were the first to hack other countries. The USA would be near the top of both lists, if not #1 on both.

The USA intelligence agencies have used the war on terrorism to hack into many countries computers. If you want to talk about mining info by hacking into cell phones, the USA does more than all the other counties combined.

Well, I guess thats what happens when you comment on something without admittedly reading it.

No one suggested that "the NSA should tell Russia to stop hacking." No duh that would be silly, and no duh, we do it too.

What I said was that the head of the NSA testified that he has not been told by the president to beef up our cyberdefenses to make sure they aren't successful a second time, and that the president refuses to implement the sanctions against Russia passed by both houses.

Defend that.
 
Can our bomb throwing biased friend answer the obvious question?

What exactly do you want Trump to do?

His people have all said they’re doing everything in their power to prevent further hacking. It’s not like Trump has told them to stand down.

Our national SECURITY agency has been hacked at least twice. Some good they are. So has the military and the White House.

The government spends more money in a year on security than every share of Apple, combined, is worth. In a year. What Apple is worth after 30+ years. It dwarfs Apple’s intellectual property, research, and collected corporate knowledge.

Do you expect a secret service agent to sit next to the next Podesta and prevent him from clicking on a phishing link? A secret service agent for everyone who has a dnc.org or rnc.org email address? What about the nazi party and the communist party of the USA?

Do you expect the government to take over the big social media companies to somehow prevent fake accounts from being made?

Your silly sanctions idea has been implemented for years and didn’t stop any hacking.

The media has spread lies about our election systems being hacked. Every time they do report this, the attorneys general of those states deny it happened.

You can’t even prove that the dnc was hacked. Looks more like someone simply copied all the emails onto a USB drive. Some whistleblower. I kid you not.

Again, what exactly do you think Trump should order them to do?

It’s easy to throw bombs from the peanut gallery. When called on it, it’s not so easy.

Defend that. The obvious. Defend it.

LOL
