People seem to be taking a light-hearted matter waaaay too seriously.
Sorry if I'm raining on your parade - It just never ceases to amaze me how many people lose their minds over 'rock star' status - even here on FR. And such shallow thinking pisses me off. I'll shut up now.
I totally agree.I think these terrorist attacks have proven what Trump has been saying all along.
Well, any establishment types that I've worked with (who would not be on any Trump team) - would be horrified and suggest some kind of mealy mouthed pre-emptive apology, which of course would be a disaster.
In this case, I think they laughed and only wished the chick had been younger and better looking.....
He signed right below her collarbone. Pretty mild.
And oh so presidential. Face it. The man has no boundaries. He lacks the filter that dictates appropriate societal behavior. He's just plain seedy.
It is? Based on? Oh wait! I see what you did there. You played the "Trump" card by insulting some aspect about someone with whom you disagree. There's nothing I can do about the year I was born, but you felt safe taking a swipe at my age thanks to Trump's new "politically incorrect reality," better known as rudeness. Let's see if I can help you out with some other put downs for things I have no control over.
Hey! Here's a good one: Some days when I'm really tired, I have a slight, nearly imperceptible limp due to being run over by a car. You could mock my limp and even exaggerate it for extra effect. That would be a hoot!
Here's one that most of society already feels free to throw around: I'm short. And we all know that short people got no reason to live. Mocking us is fair game.
And guess what?! I speak with a Southern accent. Who doesn't just love to stereotype Southerners!
You really are a piece of work. I compliment you on how well you've learned your social graces by sitting at the feet of the master of disaster regarding social graces. All in the name of political incorrectness, of course.
BTW, unlike Trump and his followers, I do like the POWs who got captured. I do think they're heroes, whether I think they're lousy senators or not. And I'm disgusted by the mentality that would say otherwise. I always believed that only a liberal could be guilty of dissing Vietnam veterans. I seem to have given the Republican Party too much credit. Apparently you can still spit in a vet's face, figuratively, of course, and not pay a price for it. In fact, your poll numbers go up! Yea, Republicans! You actually can reach across the aisle and find something in common with the left.
Filter?
You mean that politically correct filter?
We need to get away from being PC. Sad when conservatives complain that we need a politically correct candidate. We have a bunch of them all pro-amnesty, big government RINOs. You can’t have it both ways.
No, what’s sad is that Trump idolizers are unable to discern between political correctness and rudeness/crudeness. It’s doubly sad that his idolizers also think that it’s only the Establishment who finds him so distasteful.
Applause! Applause! And I hope you don’t shut up.
It was her collarbone, geez!
You’d complain no matter what he did.
“You played the “Trump” card by insulting some aspect about someone with whom you disagree.”
You’re a hypocrite ru. Your posts are filled with condescending insults, one after the other.
Proving my second point, an old grouch. Feel better soon!
It's truly amazing how you and your Trump buddies are unable to discern the difference between disagreeing with something someone says and taking the argument to a personal level by insulting something someone is. For example, if Albion Wilde were ugly and I made his/her ugliness a part of my argument, that would be unacceptable. I'm not saying he/she is ugly. In fact, he/she may be a stone cold fox, but Albion Wilde's physical appearance has no bearing on my argument.
When you incorporate a personal insult (something that the person has no control over and is, frankly, not germane to the argument), you've already lost the debate. Even children understand this, although when they do lash out in such a manner, their lack of self control can be chalked up to their immaturity. There are those adults who appear to suffer from the tendency to do this. In psychological terms, this is known as "arrested development."
Samples of things that are fair game for debate:
1. Opposing ideology
2. Filthy language
3. Erroneous factual information
Samples of things that are not fair game for debate:
1. Physical appearance (looks, weight, height, etc.)
2. Age (although a case could sometimes be made for using someone's youthfulness as a synonym for a lack of practical experience)
3. Physical disabilities
It's so troubling that these things are not self evident, but when a presidential candidate uses such tactics, apparently his followers feel entitled to take their cue from him.
A condescending lecture, how unexpected /s
We understand the difference between attacking a candidate’s position, attacking the candidate personally, and attacking their supporters.
You Cruz-bots do the latter 2 repeatedly.
(and when you refer to a poster, it’s polite to ping them - so I am pinging Albion Wilde)
Another insult devoid of any cogent argument. You’re just a little drive-by gnat.

I don't see any evidence that y'all do understand the difference, but I'm going to leave it at that.
Albion Wilde, I neglected to ping you on a post concerning you. Please accept my apology for that oversight. Scroll up a little and you'll find that post addressed to CottonBall.
None of the above.
Answer: The world is just too full of buttholes.
Wassup with all the uptight TDSers on this thread. Don’t they know Ted Cruz had a good laugh about condoms with his audience last week?
