Trump's Second and Third year in office
Quote: SteverinosBased on the very early reporting of this incident, I would contest that the kids would've been ridiculed for their behavior by the media, commentators, and you, even if they didn't have MAGA hats on.
Really? The MAGA hat was prominently mentioned in most reports and comments.
I doubt that it would have gotten a quarter of the attention had the hat not been involved.
Quote: RSAnd the entire situation could have been avoided if the black Israelites and Nathan “the Vietnam vet” Phillips had done their job. So I solely blame them.
And what job was that?
Quote: RonCReally? The MAGA hat was prominently mentioned in most reports and comments.
It was prominently mentioned because it was prominently on display. I still think it would've got the attention. An event on MLK weekend where these groups converged on one another? I think so.
Quote: terapinedI see conservatives imploding already
All over a high school kid EB and other conservatives label a Nazi
Just a kid
Going after children like this is imploding
I totally support Kyle Kushov, Parkland student, fighting for gun rights
I applaud ALL high school students getting involved in politics regardless if lib or con
Why so much hate on the right? Why implode over a high school student
Quote: terapinedIts really sick how conservatives go after high school kids
A kid in high school speaks out
Conservatives such as EB go absolutely nuts calling a high school kid a Nazi
You should be ashamed of yourself
I don't like Laura Ingraham but I would never stoop as low as EB calling somebody a nazi
sad and disgusting
But wait, there's more...
Quote: terapined
Kyle speaks about gun rights. I support kyle's free speech but no way will I listen to him.
Please
Listen to a high school kid
Why
They're kids, just ignore them
Fascinating how crazy and nuts conservatives become when a high school kid speaks out
Weird
LOL
Quote: RogerKintBut wait, there's more...
LOL
After seeing the entire video
I don't blame the kid. I blame the chaperones
The right went hard against David Hogg, lots of hate
The left gave a pass to Kyle Kushov, no hate
You never answered my question about the David Hogg mystery chaperone
Whats up with that?
Quote: RSAnd the entire situation could have been avoided if the black Israelites and Nathan “the Vietnam vet” Phillips had done their job. So I solely blame them.
See how easy that is? Nevermind....continue your rant please.
What was the drummers job?
I know what the chaperones job was. To take the kids to Washington and keep them out of trouble. The Black Israelites job seems to have been to stir stuff up. I'd say they succeeded. Nathans self proclaimed mission was to break up the tension between the kids and the Israelites. I'd say he succeeded. The kids job was to be kids, and they managed to do that just fine. The chaperones job was to watch over the kids and keep them safe and out of trouble. They failed. If you are a parent and watch the whole hour long video, are the chaperones anywhere in sight? I don't expect 15-16 old kids to display a lot of common sense. It's great when they do but there is a reason why we don't let them sign contracts, and a million other things.
Having taken more than a few travel teams on overnight trips, I would resign if any video like this ever came out of kids I was supposed to be watching.

Honestly not sure what point you are trying to make or why I was even quoted in it, but I do appreciate the effort in searching through posts for the gotcha moment.

Five minutes exposing hypocrisy is well worth it. You're right, I shouldn't have quoted you cause it wasn't your hypocrisy I was exposing.

So the ADULT lefties in that video didn't go hard at the MINORS?
In one case it's the audience's job (hence the steverino quote) to ignore the kid (your words) as long as that audience is conservative. In the next case it's the chaperone's job to protect the kid as long as that audience is Left. Don't know how to spell it out anymore simply.

Quote: RogerKintJust saw the video
You see any chaperones? Did you see a chaperone for Nick step in and escort him away from the group (by the way, he said today that he wish he would've just walked away, maybe one of the adults responsible for him could've provided some guidance)? Did you see a chaperone for the kids step in and escort them away from a couple of crazy dudes calling them school shooters and yelling homophobic slurs?
My point remains. The chaperones for this field trip FAILED MISERABLY and should be reprimanded if they are employees. They got a lot of nerve doing TV interviews.
Whatever, moving on...

He didn’t mention why he wished he would have just walked away though or did he say something nice for the camera about that? The reason is likely not because of anything he did, but because a bunch of supposedly grown adults are losing their crap for no reason like they haven’t even went through potty training yet. You know, basically just the media and Twitter trolls doing what they do
Quote: billryanIf you are a parent and watch the whole hour long video, are the chaperones anywhere in sight?
If this was an all boys Catholic School, I can guess where the chaperones and a few of the missing boys were.Quote: SteverinosYou see any chaperones?.

I have no doubt you don't like them on the wall, I can only imagine where you do like them.
I wouldn't doubt if you one of the missing chaperones at this even. (-; J/K @ Roger, no need for anyone to get their panties all up in a bunch. I wasn't joking about the other missing chaperones.

Trump is the one who's playing games with people's lives by playing the hostage card. The rest of us, liberal, moderate, many conservatives, are appalled.
That said, it can never be allowed to work (yes, I'm repeating myself from several weeks ago). If it works even once, it will keep happening.
And it's not working. Trump's approval rating is down to 34%. He's lost another 7 points in a week.
Women disapprove of him by 71% independent women by 71% college-age women by 76%. He's losing badly.

Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better. You would be hard pressed to find 5 people who voted for him who would now vote Democratic. And his (fake) approval ratings are still double Nurse Nancy’s.

You are hallucinating. She doesn't own the Capitol building. It is a public building. As Chief Executive of the country I believe all Federal buildings fall under Trump's control. He can have a SOTU anywhere he pleases.
You all are now supporting a radical subversive. What is she going to do? Erect a wall around the Capitol to keep Trump out?

Will Trump start a lock up Nancy chant? What a wonderful President. Wants to lock people up without a trial. He's disgusting

Trump is getting schooled by Pelosi
Pelosi is schooling him on separation of powers
The high stakes showdown between Trump and Pelosi (interesting he has never tagged her with a derogatory name)
Trump blinked
Trump Just tweeted
"As the Shutdown was going on, Nancy Pelosi asked me to give the State of the Union Address. I agreed. She then changed her mind because of the Shutdown, suggesting a later date. This is her prerogative - I will do the Address when the Shutdown is over. I am not looking for an alternative venue for the SOTU Address because there is no venue that can compete with the history, tradition and importance of the House Chamber. I look forward to giving a “great” State of the Union Address in the near future!"

I doubt Trump needs to worry about too many of his voters flipping to the Democrats.
He does, I suspect, need to worry about a Democrat that brings out voters to the polls.
Barack Obama in 2008 received the most votes of any presidential candidate ever. Voter turnout that year was 58.2%, the highest since 1968.
Probably not a coincidence.

Article II, Section 3 of the United States Constitution states that the president “shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.”
You can call it a state of the union speech, but if it isn't delivered to congress, then it isn't the State of the Union as described by the Constitution.
Quote: SteverinosAnd what job was that?
Quote: billryanWhat was the drummers job?...
They’re job is to not be a**holes.
There’s blame on both sides.
People (in general, not to anyone here) flipping out because some Indian “Vietnam vet” went up to a white kid and banged a drum in his face, as if the kid did something wrong. Now the kid’s being doxed, death threats against him, threats to burn down the school, and probably much more. Yup — that’s totally what normal, well functioning adults do. Keep blindly chugging the MSM narrative, you’ll turn out just fine.

Lol. You believe? You think the Executive can bully their way into the Legislature, take over the podium, and start spouting off?
I KNOW that is the chamber of a co-equal branch of government. He has no more right to speak at that podium than he has to preside over the SCOTUS. It is a courtesy extended for logistical and practical reasons.
Just because Trump is a clomping ignoramus is no reason for you to forget 4th grade civics class.

Sharpie and paper would work just fine. It wasn't even a speech until 1913, when Woodrow Wilson delivered it orally.
Quote: wikiDuring most of the country's first century, the President primarily only submitted a written report to Congress. After 1913, Woodrow Wilson, the 28th U.S. President, began the regular practice of delivering the address to Congress in person as a way to rally support for the President's agenda.[1] With the advent of radio and television, the address is now broadcast live across the country on many networks.[4]

How many Washington DC protests have you been to?
I've been to many but just as an observer.
A lot of protesters are a**holes with loud and aggressive megaphone chants. Its pretty common.
Just comes with the territory. I pretty much ignored the a**hole protesters and I saw a lot. Too many
I lived in the area and my favorite bike ride was to put my bike on the Metro, get off near the WH , ride to Georgetown, take the C and O canal tow path north, get off in Silver Spring and ride down Rock Creek park past the National zoo and back to the WH. Absolutely beautiful bike ride
Quote: rsactuaryI'm of the opinion that Nancy should have let the state of the union address go on as originally scheduled. To me, the tradition, should have risen above all else. Not liking the headlines about this being a battle.
Absolutely not
For the good of the country, somebody has to school King Trump on the separation of powers

Normally I would agree with you, but Donny just asked twice for network time for " major announcements" that were nothing but airing of his grievances. I can only imagine where a thirty minute rant would end up?
We have reached the point where anyone and everyone who wants a job, has one. Anyone else is “unemployable “ or has decided not to work. By unemployable I mean they have drug issues, are unreliable and have a poor work history.
Thank You President Trump for starting to MAGA.
Guess “It’s the economy stupid”, doesnt matter to liberals anymore. Hatred of the Orange man makes it’s easy to root against the success of fellow Americans.
Hopefully history see these traitors for what they were.

Exactly
At these protests I have personally observed since I lived near DC
Its a**hole city. These protests attract every a**hole in the country
They get magaphones and scream and scream and scream. A lot of angry a**holes at just about every DC protest
a chaperone needs to be aware of this and keep the kids away from the nut jobs.
The DC protest mall area is massive,You can be near the a**holes or you can keep the kids safe and away from the a**holes
