    Is it just my imagination or does that look like a really bad photoshop job?

    Looks like a photoshoot for a magazine, hair, makeup lights em Shooting victim.

    Sorry, I didn't mean specific to this thread. And personally I'd be cheerleading for Obama if I could!

    trumps head looks like it has been stuck in. the angle of his neck is all wrong.

    He always looks wrong, smearing orange goo on his face everyday (except around his eye like a panda), the hair of course, he doesn't seem to know how trousers work either.
    None of the family seems comfortable in their skin.

    You were probably one of the people who were outraged by people saying Michelle Obama looks like a man in drag but it's perfectly ok to rag on Trump and his family for their appearance.

    You’re trying to compare comments about Trumps actual makeup and a smear campaign about a First Lady being a shemale?

    Not sure why you posted in an Antifa thread about this.
    Isn't there a Trump Derangement Syndrome thread around here somewhere?

    Trump posing with a victim of a shooting someone else did - bad
    Obama posing with a disabled soldier sent to Afghanistan on his orders - fine

    what i dont understand is that for people who claim to have a lot of money they never seem to be able to buy clothes that fit. I mean, look at donnie junior on the right. the fit of that jacket is just shocking. I could sew a potato sack and make it fit better than that.

    They are incredibly similar. They are both insulting the physical attributes of a person in an insulting way.

    For full disclosure, I didn't think the Michelle Obama comments were very nice either. Should they have been vilified? No. Should trump name calling be vilified? No. But you should be at least consistent with 'body shaming'

    trump is not being body-shamed. people are criticising his choice of makeup (and hairstyle and poor choice in clothes). what was said about Michelle Obama goes way beyond body-shaming.

    Michelle was not just insulted for how she looked. there were people saying that she was actually transgender.

    People are free to insult anybody they want. I've insulted donnie junior for the way they look not 1 hour ago. the insults against Michelle Obama went a long way beyond insulting her looks.

    Leftwinger insults someone = good
    Rightwinger Insults someone = bad.

    If Brian is around this is the double standard I was referring to earlier that is prevalent in America.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,177 ✭✭✭Ironicname


    Some people actually say that Trump is literally a Nazi. It doesn't make them right.

    Some people say Michelle Obama is a transgender person. Doesn't make them right.

    That's not what I asked.

    Is it ok to say that Michelle Obama looks like she is a transgender person if you can accept that it's ok to make fun of Trump's appearance.

    I know you never said otherwise. But it's a double standard to suggest those who criticized/insulted Michelle Obama went too far but the insults that Trump has being getting for ages now about being orange, his hair, his choice of clothes is all fair and good.

    if you cant see the difference between suggesting that somebody is transgender (not just looks like but actually are not and insulting somebodies poor choice in makeup, hair, clothes, and pretty much everything else then there isn't much point talking to you.

    I'd go on record to say that there is roughly the same amount of evidence that trump is a Nazi than there is for Michelle Obama being a man.

    Either both are acceptable to say or none are.

    The 2 are not comparable. People shared pictures of Michelle Obama comparing her to a chimp, that was way beyond laughing at a haircut

    Apologies, I see the confusion. I wasn't aware it was said that she actually was, just that she looked like. The two are different as you say. Was this done by the media, or random people on the internet?

    More trump inspired violence.


    MISSOULA, Mont. — The attorney for a Montana man accused of throwing a 13-year-old boy to the ground at a rodeo because the teenager didn’t remove his hat during the national anthem says his client believes he was acting on an order from President Trump.

    Definitely. I'm pretty sure I heard trump a report of President Trump ordering people to fracture skulls of 13 year olds who don't take off hats during national anthems.

    It sounds like a vicious thug's lawyer is using the left's view on Trump as a spurious reason to receive a lenient sentence.

    If trump tries to pardon him, I will be first to vilify him.

    Ah right. So not using his words.

    I didn't agree with trump for his opposition on that NFL player.

    But to say that him saying that the NFL player was should be fired for the taking of the knee is not akin to fracturing a child's skull for not removing a hat.

    That is a very tenuous link at best.

    State department suspends staffer over reported ties to white supremacist group

    Surprised he didn't get a promotion.



    The State Department has suspended a staffer in its energy bureau after the Southern Poverty Law Center reported that he had ties to a white supremacist group.

    The SPLC reported:

    The official, Matthew Q. Gebert, works as a foreign affairs officer assigned to the Bureau of Energy Resources, a State Department spokesperson told Hatewatch. Online, and in private correspondences with other white nationalists, Gebert uses ‘Coach Finstock’ as a pseudonym. Through that alias, he expressed a desire to build a country for whites only.

    ‘[Whites] need a country of our own with nukes, and we will retake this thing lickety split,’ ‘Coach Finstock’ said on a May 2018 episode of ‘The Fatherland,’ a white nationalist podcast. ‘That’s all that we need. We need a country founded for white people with a nuclear deterrent. And you watch how the world trembles

    Speaking to reporters at the White House yesterday, Trump said he was 'concerned about the rise of any group of hate' and referred to white supremacists and anti-fascist activists (antifa). He noted… 'Whether it’s any group or kind of hate ... I am concerned about it and I’ll do something about it.'

    And on August 17, members of the far-right Proud Boys will meet again in Portland for a rally to “End Domestic Terrorism.” Nearby, antifascists and other counterprotesters will rally against the Proud Boys. The Portland police chief said messages posted online “suggest some attendees plan to engage in violence.” The Proud Boys are stating they will only participate in violence in self-defense. Neither group has a permit to protest. What can go wrong?

    You can ignorantly accuse me of "whataboutism," but what it really is involves identifying similar scenarios in order to see if it holds up when the shoe is on the other foot!
