Politics If Trump actually did shoot people on Fifth Avenue...

[crandc]

He said he could and his supporters would still back him. So if he did, with cameras rolling...

Day 1: There was no shooting. It is a hoax. Fake news. Enemy of the people. Deep state trying to take down greatest president ever.

Day 2: Yes, it was a great shooting. Why not have a shooting? The very best shooting. A beautiful shooting.

Day 3: Actually Barack Obama/Bill Clinton/Hillary Clinton are the ones shooting people.

Day 4: Republicans make round of talk shows demanding an investigation of Barack Obama/Bill Clinton/Hillary Clinton shooting people. New York Times runs front page story "Fifth Avenue Shooting a Problem for Democrats in 2020".

Guiliani: "He didn't shoot him. Of course he shot him. There is nothing wrong with shooting him. I didn't say he shot him. That's not what I said."

 

[Chris Craig]

Trump: It wasn't me. Fake news.

Media: There is video showing you committing the shooting.

Trump: Here is the evidence it wasn't me (holds up printed out still from video with his face covered in sharpie)

Which threads are the ones you do foresee something constructive coming out of?

Trump wouldn't know how to fire a gun, let alone aim it correctly at someone.

That's not true. He knows you just sit in the executive chair, look at the gun, and say 'You're fired!'.

Do you remember when President Obama got all that flak for saluting his guards as he stepped off Air Force 1 when Obama never served in the military?
Now, Trump never served in the military yet when he frequently salutes his guards he never gets criticized for saluting his guards although he never served in the military.
Yeah, he probably wouldn't know which end of the gun to point at his intended target. He would, no doubt, have his personal bodyguard point the weapon while all he had to do was pull the trigger. Being th e mob boss that he is he'd also probably blame his bodyguard for the shooting. "Lots of people are saying the bodyguard did the shooting."

It would depend mainly on whom he killed, and if they deserved killing or not.

Sorry, but you failed to get the picture.

Sort of the dip shit salute of all time.

The purpose of the superior returning a salute is to acknowledge the honor rendered him by the military man.
Pretty damn obvious that Obama hasn't got a clue what he is doing or why he should.
A cell phone in one hand and wave of the other is not a salute nor an acknowledgement the honor.

No American ever gives a salute showing the palm. err except Obama.

What about compliance with the law? Does that have any bearing here?

Nah Maris believes Trump is above the law. US Presidents are above the law...but only if they are Republicans.

 

[crandc]

When Trump sits in front of television cameras answering questions from a hostile Congressmember for 13 hours, under oath, I'll say he was investigated. Wonder how calm he would be?

Does this mean, you don't like it?
or does it mean you don't think it is true?
Would it help, if I quoted the BJM or NOG for you?

Perhaps you just didn't know about the palms down part?

I think the issue might be that you are being a pedant about presidential norms, while supporting a president who ignores all norms.

Oh I don't think so. The current President does pretty well in acknowledging the Salute properly.. Most do! Obama was the clear exception of my time to observe.

Ok, he ignores almost all norms. Cadet Bone Spurs is a real good saluter, if that makes you happy.

Trump is the best at saluting. He even salutes dictator's generals.

 

[MarAzul]

pedant

Although, I will admit, there are very likely those that don't give a shit about the reasons or the traditions of the salute. And they may indeed see me and those that are of like mind as pedantic or worse.
But not giving a shit seems closer to the mark from my point of view.

 

[MarAzul]

if that makes you happy.

Normally happy is my main mode.

Note! The palm down.

Note: He is saluting a general from a violent murderous communist regime

Yeah.
Should have just promised them some money.

I don't give a shit about any of that. It's the constant hypocrisy by you. Or total willful ignorance. To criticize Obama for such things and then turn around and support Trumps racism, bigotry, hatred, stupidity, misogyny, traitorous behavior is a staggering character flaw.
