What happens to me when I hold a mirror to someone else.

Do we need to lock this thread also?

If we do, political discussion is done in Off Topic for good.

This topic should really be locked at this point for good. It seems all of us cry babies, myself included, just can’t put aside our egos long enough to get along or even disagree.

The idea that I would be bad at it is irrelevant to how good or bad he is at it.

You couldn’t be more mistaken.

As long as Spicer can do a better job than some guys in a Star War’s forum could, that’s good enough.

I’ll be honest, I don’t think I could do his job without making far more mistakes due to the pressure, than he has.

Isn’t he juggling two jobs normally done by two separate people? (Press secretary and communications director.) That may be part of the problem.

I believe so and he works his ass off. When I watch the Press Conferences you can see that he really is earning his pay. I also don’t see him as dishonest. He has a calm about him when asked the same “questions” in different contexts over and over by the same group of reporters. Aside from you Wook, I don’t believe there is anyone here that complains about him and Trump, that could match him in that department.

Sean Spicer giving Liberal reporter the slam. Damn double standards that don’t exist. I love it.

There’s nothing to love, that’s just more misconstrued “double standard” bs. Yes, there’s nothing wrong with criticizing a judicial decision, no one is saying there is. The problem is that Trump is insulting judges personally and questioning their qualifications. Obama never did that.

If you are saying that Obama and the media held no double standards in any capacity then we will have to agree to disagree on the matter. A simple search brought up a bunch of articles for you to chose from. Since I don’t know Mr. Obama personally I have to rely on media accounts

^I’d love to see you try your hand at his job and see how much better you would do. Knowing how you are here all I can see you doing is calling everyone “p#$%y grabbers” from behind the podium while wearing a crappy version of that wig in your avatar and tossing out copies of your fan-edits.

LOL

LOL

silly americans, expecting a top level goverment person to be better than random person on the internet.

LOL

double standards

😉

JEDIT: sorry if that came off a bit jerkish, i was blowing off some steam, and probably should have held back. but i am a bit sick of being told that one can’t complain about our leaders and their (public) servant.

No, it’s all good. Complain away. I really would like to some here try to do Sean Spicer’s job. From our keyboards complaining and bitching is simple as pie. Actually doing what they do and then typing, far harder indeed.

I was also pulling his chain a little. 😃

Here is an interesting report too, if it’s true.

Difficult article to read… the author has such enthusiasm but there is lots of missing info. What is her home country? Which “travel ban” is it talking about? Who exactly is calling her a terrorist? Would Trump’s ban allow her into the U.S.?

I believe Denmark is calling her a terrorist and I think she is Danish. She broke a travel ban to enter Syria to fight ISIL as the article states.

I just love how anything that makes Trump look bad is automatically fake news.

Trump unabashedly insults people and calls them names. In the very first republican debate, the first words out of his mouth were that all the politicians were “stupid”. Although maybe he was right – name-calling has proven to be effective.

It seems effective here too.

Name calling can be a very effective demoralizing tactic. It’s about control. That is why the people who do it, use it, they want the people they are targeting to feel powerless and weak. Doing this embues the name caller with a false bravado. The name caller feels very good about themselves. It makes them feel confident, dominant, and more important. It is a sign of a far deeper issue in most who use it. Name callers usually have a superiority complex.

It is a mask, nothing more.

“Finally”?

Maybe I should specify … the Politics 2 thread, LOL.

I’ve got fly-away hair but I keep a somewhat modified military cut. I prefer to keep the hair off my neck. When I was younger I did have long hair but the Army changed all that.

So basically, it’s ok if Trump lashes out, because the OT forum allows Frink to lash out. I guess that’s a sort of Modus Ponens.

I’d guess that is the consensus.

An average American Citizen who lashes out immediately instead of being rational, is nowhere near the problem for the nation as a President who lashes out immediately instead of being rational. We do and should hold the President to a higher standard.

My opinion is based on moral principal, not who holds a higher office, LOL. How you carry yourself is important regardless of how anyone else carries themselves. If you’re happy with double standards, that’s fine, but then say you’re okay with it.

😃

Consider this:

both Frink and the President are being judged by the same principle: they both could be considered knuckle heads if they lash out immediately with out being rational.

Now, we see they are both being judged by the same moral principle. they are both knuckle heads (in this thought experiment)

The part you seem to discredit however, is that a position of power (in this case being president of the “USA, USA, USA!!”), the fact that someone meets or doesn’t meet a moral standard, is amplified. in simple words, it matters more, because it affects more.

knuckle head on OT, annoying, but doesn’t get my laws or taxes changed.
Knuckle head in WH, annoying, can get my laws or taxes changed.

All I was getting at was your last 2 statements. I don’t disagree that a position of power is more important in the larger scheme of things though. I do however find it hypocritical for one person who does bitch about someone else who does it. It negates the validity of the bitching.

^The Bugs Bunny one. The other two were possible candidates.

This one is relevant too.
