I dont think the shrug was meant as an insult to trump.
― treeship., Wednesday, 4 December 2019 17:10 (four years ago) link
But even so, Trump built his career on disrespecting people. Respect is an important value to me and I do aim, in my life, to treat everyone with dignity, but fuck him.

Meanwhile the persuasive Jonathan Turley is making a horseshit argument against impeachment. Real forest-for-the-trees nonsense from the guy who said Clinton's blowjob was an impeachable offense.

I suppose if there is a lesson to be learned by the current scofflaw in chief, and future scofflaws, it's that ignoring subpoenas is not only OK but encouraged. If you're never called to testify under oath, you can never be caught lying under oath. Better to gamble on obstruction than get busted for perjury.

All particulars about the Choad-in-Chief aside, entreaties to show respect for someone who's done precisely nothing to earn anyone's respect is one of the most efficient means of eliciting a 'STFFU,YFF' from yers truly.

Why are the Dems not emphasizing, publicly and often, that much of this mess stems from President Asshole repeatedly targeting private US citizens? If he can target them with impunity, and career officials, and military officers, etc., demean them, and destroy them, over and over again, he can do it to anyone.

Barely been paying attention today, because why bother, but the GOP's stance is so untenable it's embarrassing.
"This process is a sham, there are all sorts of fact witnesses we need to hear from!"
"What about all the fact witnesses and first-hand accounts Asshole has forbidden from testifying? Shouldn't we hear from them under oath? Like Trump, or Pompeo, or Pence o r Rudy?"
"No, not from them, just the other people, like Biden and Elmo and Nessie."

oh cool here's the new fake outrage we get to hear about for the next week
A minor child deserves privacy and should be kept out of politics. Pamela Karlan, you should be ashamed of your very angry and obviously biased public pandering, and using a child to do it.— Melania Trump (@FLOTUS) December 4, 2019
this is the cruel & indefensible joke in question
KARLAN: "I will give you one example that shows you the difference between him and a king, which is, the Constitution says there can be no titles of nobility. So while Trump can name his son 'Barron,' he can't make him a baron." pic.twitter.com/FF0E0KyAEh— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) December 4, 2019

she insulted him by...calling him by the name his parents gave him? idgi

He's going to be confused and embarrassed by the answer he'll get when he asks his father why he can't make a Barron.

the GOP's already fund raising off that remark.

The GOP fundraises even when there is nothing to be outraged about. They're just crazy fundraising fools.

I am deeply offended by this neutral public acknowledgement of a child Donald Trump forgot that he fathered. What's next, a reminder of Tiffany's existence?

Discretion is the better part of valor. This just takes the hammer that the GOP has been using to beat her with out of their hands. It's not as if she is apologizing for some central idea or any part of the substance of what she said, so there's no reason to dig in and vociferously defend such an irrelevant part of her testimony.

I can tell this is your first day here on Earth, so let me explain: What will happen now is they will hammer even harder, every hour of every day, until impeachment is over and long afterward, until eventually Trump will just have to mention her name at one of his goon rallies in the same tone he mentions Lisa Page and Peter Strozk to inspire mocking cheers and roars of rage, and long after everyone else on Earth has forgotten who this woman is she will remain a hate-object in Knuckle-Walker Land, because she dared to mock the God-Emperor's child.

the only way to "win" vs this or any GOP tactics/policies is to have 40% of the country stop being stupid selfish paranoid xenophobic assholes. Good luck USA>

Exactly, the GOPs entire operating procedure revolves around them constantly being apologized to for perceived slights. Don’t play into it.
― frogbs, Thursday, 5 December 2019 01:35 (four years ago) link
Don’t get me wrong it would be understandable if there was any chance someone was actually offended by this but we all know that they don’t really care. Trump probably doesn’t even remember the kid’s name.

So, if one concludes that there is no difference whatsoever between the result if she apologizes and if she doesn't, then there is no harm at all in her apologizing and it becomes just a personal decision she made for her own purposes; it's none of our business.
