My opinion is that the handshake item was Trump acting as president of a powerful and independent country. I don’t know if he would have bowed to her as an individual previous to his inauguration. I vaguely think I read he hadn’t met her. The question could only be answered if we knew whether he met some other ruler of a country and how he interacted with them. Hard to imagine she gets more deference than the Queen of Wherever.
But, one more time, I’m behind Trump Baggie’s 188 percent. I trust he makes a well-reasoned judgment of how he follows through on protocol. And I believe he’s a gentleman. The post above about his WANTING to help her down the stairs rang so true to me.
Anything else, to me, is just accidental and peevishness on DM’s part. Personally, I think she was lucky to meet someone who is both all male AND a gentleman to boot.
That’s an amazing photo when you put it next to the mobile face of his son at the hearing. What a household that must have been in his childhood! The back chills.
And we bow only to God.
None other.
“The sociopath family relaxing at home”? It actually reminds me of a Far Side cartoon.

Bow as you will. Our head of state bows to no other head of state.
Really liking your link so I will repost it here:

I am pressed for time so I’m reading through the Youtube transcript of the video and I know that I’m going to end up watching excerpts just based on the intrigue factor.
I wasn’t aware that Strzok was still asserting during the hearing that he was not present under a subpoena and therefore was not legally obligated to answer the questions presented to him. I knew in the run-up to the hearing, Strzok volunteered to attend specifying no subpoena was necessary, and the committee responded by issuing a subpoena; I just didn’t realize how he tried to use that (video 5:28 mark) “I do not believe I am here under subpoena. I believe I am here voluntarily.”
Seems a ridiculous ruse; the FBI (or anyone else in government) would never have to answer questions regarding oversight and accountability if they just made sure to insist they volunteered to attend the hearing(s). Bill Clinton wouldn’t have “had” to resort to, “It depends on what your definition of ‘is’ is.”
From the video transcript (9:02 mark) “...it is their unremitting obligation to respect the dignity of the Congress and its committees and to testify fully with respect to matters within the province of proper investigation.” Well there’s the problem right there; throughout testimony Strzok made sure to communicate with weird sociopathic body language and (1000 yard stare) eye contact that he had contempt for those he deemed inferior to him (i.e., congress, their committees, and the American public).
Some favorites:
At the 18:12 mark, Strzok says, “Mr. Gowdey as I’ve stated that text was written late at night in shorthand...” And Gowdy replies, “I don’t care when it was read. I don’t care whether it was a long-hand cursive. I don’t care about any of that.” Strzok really has to have complete contempt for the rule of law, and the expectations of the public he claims to serve, to offer such a series of pathetic “Dog ate my homework!” excuses when asked to account for his actions. And that’s all he had through the rest of the video - pathetic in-your-face insults to intelligence instead of answers.
At the 27:41 mark, after Stzork bristles saying “I don’t appreciate...”, Gowdy replies, “ I don’t give a damn
what you appreciate, Agent Stzok. I don’t appreciate having an FBI agent with an unprecedented level of animus working on two major investigations during 2016.”
Thanks for the link!
Oh, well done! That was PERFECT!
Great analysis and excerpts.

Good God, that’s ASTONISHING! He has the exact same look in his eye. Wonder what Jr is going to look like in prison greys. :-)
I think you’re right. I believe Adam Schiff reeked of FEAR when he said the following a the end of the video (my previous post):
Adam Schiff:
“....sadly here we have all too many members
of Congress willing to prostrate
themselves before the executive and
give him anything he wants... the Four
Horsemen of this apocalypse have been
Devin Nunez and Trey Gowdy, Marc
Meadows and Jim Jordan. They have been
leading the charge, basically, to require
the Justice Department to give them
materials that can be leaked or fed or
misrepresented, like the infamous Nunez
memorandum, in the service of the
President.”
Network repetition is their “defense” strategy. Just say it over and over often enough, in staged interviews with “famous” news anchors, and the public MUST believe it.
‘-)
Which just keeps making me remember that getting censorship out of the internet is one of our most important jobs. Never again can we allow the MSM and liberals to decide what the public will hear.
Yup—The Royal Family was, is and will continue to be evil until they meet their end French Revolution style.
You’re FAST! Excellent. Spread it far.
What everyone seems to be missing is that STrok was sworn in. That means the truth, only the truth. I don’t think there’s enough bandwith on the whole wide web to catalog his lies.
Welcome back, Bagster! Did the file in the cake I sent you help ya out?!
