War Room Lounge v78: Figure someone will make a thread eventually.

[Gregolian]

I know I posted the Illinois Nazi scene from Blues Brothers but I just noticed something.

If you look at the flag on the viewers right as we look at the front of that group... the Swastika is backwards.

Trump imitates flustered bank president

You're also vying to show that you're the most loyal to Dear Leader, I see.

In the video of him mocking the guy's disability, he says, "have you seen this guy?" and then imitates him. I really don't know how much of the denial is trolling and how much is mental illness.

 

[Higus]

I think I'm going to watch this again tonight.

TFW you realize the Antifa Blues Brothers are the real Nazi's for using violence to censor free speech

You come off as a tribalist here, as elsewhere.

Yes. That reporter doesn't have body movements even approximating those that Trump made. It seems the reporter has no disabilities other than a deformed lower arm.

On the other hand, Trump has mocked many people (including himself) with the same type of body language and facial expressions. It seems to be his default "flustered person" imitation.

They were on a mission from God though.



I watched this movie for the first time when I was like.... 6. Ever since then I've always wanted to own an old police cruiser and beat the fuck out of it to look like the Bluesmobile.

Trump imitates general



Trump imitates himself being flustered while on vacation

LOL! Even if we buy this (which I don't) his go to mocking gesture is super close to a disabled person. Then, he used it to mock an actual disabled person.

And that's a good defense?

This reminds me that people used to make fun of people using an impression of a mentally disabled person. Let's say there's video of them doing that to several normal people then he uses that on a mentally disabled person. Would you say that's ok?

It's not okay agreeing with torture either, yet here you are.

Do any of you wonderful posters lip balm your lips preventing them from getting chapped during the winter?

 

[HereticBD]

Really? That sucks cause everything I saw about it looks like a space version of Fallout New Vegas.

His opinion is of the insignificant minority. If you like the Fallout games of last gen, you'll dig "The Outer Worlds".

Nobody is arguing that it's not immature. What they're pushing back against, are Liberals going the extra mile to make it worse than it actually is, like they do with every little thing he does.

Trump - "Baltimore is rodent infested."

Liberals - "OMG! Trump called black people rodents! He's so RACIST! AHHHHHHH!"

Truth - Baltimore is quite literally rodent infested. So much so that there have been documentaries made on the subject by the same Liberal outlets that attempted to try and call the statement racist.

 

[kpt018]

I don't understand what you're trying to say, Mr. kpt.

Trump mocked a disabled guy. It appears he did not mock the disabled guy for being disabled.

All this talk of "defense" and "would you say that's ok" just makes it clear you view this issue through a tribalist lens.

WTF are you talking about? It has nothing to do with tribalism and everything to do with basic decency. You're on the side defending a guy who mocked another. I am saying that his standard go-to mocking gestures are imitating disabled people. Just because that is his go-to doesn't mean it's ethical to use on someone who is actually disabled.

And you're the one who defends torture...

And people like you are going the extra mile to minimize it. Immature? No, it's an asshole bully move no matter how you slice it.

So are most cities, including the one he grew up in as well as where he currently lives. He attacked Baltimore because Cummings went after Trump.

It would be nice if Trump would pretend to be the president of the entire country and not just his base once and a while.

But is he okay with torture?

Call it whatever you want. At the end of the day, he didn't mock the reporter's disability, which is the dishonest framing of the incident that's being pushed back on.

And by "the entire country" you mean the left.

I do, its important to keep them succulent, wouldn't you agree?

 

[kpt018]

Why is it so hard to say he was an asshole? You can't do it, can you?

And his mocking actually is making fun of disabled people.

And by "the entire country" you mean the left.

No, I meant the entire country. He clearly represents his base but doesn't even make an effort to represent Republicans, moderates or anyone left of center.

 

[waiguoren]

WTF

Calm down. Breathe. Sometimes, taking a brief walk can help.

Just because that is his go-to doesn't mean it's ethical to use on someone who is actually disabled.

Who wrote anything about ethics?

It has nothing to do with tribalism and everything to do with basic decency. You're on the side defending a guy who mocked another.

Please: re-read these two sentences in succession.

In sentence one, you say "it has nothing to do with tribalism".

In sentence two, you appeal to "sides" and "defending".

Do you not see any problem here?

I am saying that his standard go-to mocking gestures are imitating disabled people.

I don't see it that way. The gestures/expressions appear to me to be those of a person who is flustered.

 

[HereticBD]

Why is it so hard to say he was an asshole? You can't do it, can you?

I've said it was immature and crass, plenty.

And his mocking actually is making fun of disabled people.

No, it's a mockery of regular people, he finds to be dumb. Oh' and...

No your comment was retarded.

*GASP*

How absolutely dare you, Sir! Such a hateful, disableist comment.

No, I meant the entire country.

No, you mean the left and their interests. If tomorrow he took up a bunch of left wing issues, like being pro-abortion, you would find him taking a "fairer" stance on things.

Or you would become pro-life, simply because Trump was pro-abortion. One or the other.
