But it pales in comparison to the murders he’s currently carrying out at sea. Why worry about insults when people are dying seems to be the issue now, not that anyone’s actually able to stop him from doing anything apparently.
Not judging this case because I don’t know the details involved, but if a reporter has acted in unethical reporting practices, it is refreshing to see them being disrespected.
She had the temerity to ask him about the Epstein Files case (last Friday). A subject Trump is pretty sore about. So, if you think that asking Trump a question he doesn’t like to hear is an “unethical reporting practice”, I don’t know what else to say.
But it’s interesting to see that you support his comment here.
Just curious, what type of detail would move you to judge this, one way or the other?
Everything about Trump is disgusting beyond expectations. You could be pissed at his inhumane ICE directives, his inhumane treatment of alleged drug boats, his inhumane treatment of women in every respect, his inhumane treatment of the poor in this country, his selfish lack of respect for anything…
Lots of reasons to hate this piece of shit. May our hate bond us against this piece of shit, and all, each and every individual piece of shit who willingly granted him this power.
That has got to be the most lopsidedly judgemental “non-judging" I have seen in decades.
It’s fucking depressing. Like, this is not some big line in the sand on the road to dictatorship, it’s just a really horrible nasty utterance, that only a terrible person would say. It’s an exemplification of how the POTUS can do and say whatever the fuck he wants and there will be no comeuppance.
By calling them Piggy? I guess you and I have different expectations, but I would hope (in vain unfortunately) that my president would have more decorum than a 3rd grader.
Or you could have simply read the article quoted above, with descriptions and link to the actual video.
Funny how you didn’t even try.
Oh, it would have made a difference; it would have probably gone up. He was elected in part as an act of hatred towards women, after all. Twice.
Hard to do when said president has no more intelligence than a third grader, and no self-awareness whatsoever.
If your standard for deserving disrespect is unethical practices, then surely you approve of Trump being called every filthy name ever invented. Right?
From former US Atty Joyce Vance’s newsletter this evening:
Portland has reclaimed the frog as a symbol of its resistance to Trump’s efforts to militarize the city. Perhaps women should claim the glamorous, sassy Muppet Miss Piggy, a known diva with a fierce karate chop, as their own symbol.
Well, I’m disappointed, not in you @HoneyBadgerDC , I expected no more.
I’m disappointed the other journalists didn’t scream with distaste at his remark. Maybe if these people would speak up he’d stop. I know they want the opportunity be on the plane and in the briefing room. Maybe if they give him no quarter. Refuse to cover him. Quit, please quit spewing his name over every news cast, maybe just Maybe he wouldn’t be in the Whitehouse at all.
Eh, water under the bridge. I know.
We gotta start somewhere.
I hate to watch the news because these things bother me so much. It’s unfathomable that adults do this name calling in public, are recorded and then revel in it. Sickening.
So if a lot of people don’t like someone it’s okay to kill 'em? Hmmm…
Respectfully, if you don’t know the details involved, then it would behoove you to find out the details before offering comments.
Also, is seems curious that you (not knowing anything) would offer up a completely unsupported hypothetical about this reporter acting in an unethical manner. This seems to have been completely made up out of whole cloth, and even as a hypothetical is really grasping at straws.
LOL, in what fantasy world would that work?
These are professional journalists. They don’t “scream with distaste”. That’s not how a person who is supposed to report without bias would act. They are grown-ups.
Instead, they report on him and let his shameless behavior speak for itself.
Yeah. That’s cromulent. I suppose you’re right.
But, I so wanted someone to call him out. There must be one equally rude journalist.
Also, it seems very weird that anybody would think that snarling “Quiet, piggy” is a “refreshing” response to a reporter asking a question of a public figure who’s holding a press opportunity specifically to answer questions from reporters.
I mean, what kind of “unethical reporting practices” does @HoneyBadgerDC imagine a reporter in that situation would be engaging in, where such a response could possibly be appropriate? Making oink-oink noises whenever the President tries to answer a question? Loudly slurping a milkshake during the Q&A?
As it happens, of course, the reporter was simply doing her job by asking a question about current events, namely: “If there’s nothing incriminating in the [Epstein] files, sir, why not—" and presumably she was going to ask “release them?” if Trump hadn’t interrupted her.
I remain baffled why @HoneyBadgerDC would even hypothetically consider it “refreshing” to hear a reporter called “piggy” by the President of the United States just for asking a politely worded question. Even if it was a question that the said President didn’t particularly want to hear. Aren’t competent politicians supposed to be able to field unwanted questions from reporters without hurling angry insults at them?
Exactly^^
