The world is laughing.

Would anyone else here that insults the President on a daily basis be so gentlemanly as well and apologize?

You miss the point. The issue is not that you insult Clinton, it's that you insult women.

[Slobodan Blagojevic]

You miss the point. The issue is not that you insult Clinton, it's that you insult women.

Exactly how are things specifically said about Clinton insulting all women? Are things said about Trump insulting all men?

You bring up a point that is exactly what I was arguing about: one can not say anything negative about someone who belongs to protected species, as it will be immediately interpreted as against all members of the protected species.

Because you use insulting language which is specifically directed to her as a woman, just as it would be unacceptable to call Obama by the n- word.

But it is acceptable to discuss Trump's hair (the loss of which, and combing over, is predominantly male-specific). Or the size of his manhood, exclusively male-specific (with my apologies for pre-op transgenders)? Or the size of his beer belly, again mostly a male-specific problem?

Nothing that was said about Clinton in Alan's post could not be verified: she did shriek and cackle, there are videos to prove that. And, as I already mentioned, there were male presidential candidates who were criticized for that. Or for trying to dispel the perception they are wooden and devoid of human feelings (Gore).

As thinking, at the time, that I had no dog in the race, I disliked Hillie because of her patently fake "pointing" at space and beaming great big smiles of recognition at it.

Never did I imagine that I should have been personally concerned about the transatlantic circus, but was I mistaken! The guy that moved in has sent shock waves around the world, not because he is "making America great again" which everybody thought it already was, but because his absolutely crazy deportment has undermined confidence in the social/world order, which on top of 2008 was the very last thing this planet needed.

The politics of the backwoods does not translate well into formula for international co-existence.

I am not necessarily defending you personally, but free speech. Also commenting against the double standard, as I explained in my post above.

Of course there is a double standard and there are restrictions on 'free speech' here on this forum.  Some of us have been upbraided by Jeremy for certain comments and we manage to put that behind us and not go into forbidden territory. 

Personally I don't think it is insulting to call the President a liar.  Only those who believe in alternative facts would think otherwise.  this is the primary reason that the world is laughing at us.  Anyone who has traveled overseas within the last 14 months knows this to be true.

Certainly when the overwhelming facts show not only is he a massive liar, but one that knows more about lying than all the liars!   

Only those who believe in alternative facts would think otherwise.

They believe the lies and ignore the facts. And then tell those who call out the lies, fake news. So we have lies and hypocrisy living hand in hand.

his is the primary reason that the world is laughing at us.

Or crying as the days go on....

Really? She is a witch?

Either you're a troll, or you're so far from understanding the subject that it makes no sense to attempt to discuss it with you.

[LesPalenik]

which was the insulting word - "fat" or "shrieking"?

I agree with your point about double standards. But I shouldn't have gotten down into the sewer with them. 

[digitaldog]

I'm staying out of this one.

The history of that post and those that follow (thus far), indicate that is largely if not totally 'fake news'.

If the world is laughing it's because it's reading this thread.

Better that than the pussy.

If you are gay.

[digitaldog]

Said the pot to the kettle...

And speaking for everyone in the world no less, a sign of absurdity or comedy (without the required  ) to indicate it's not to be taken seriously for those who haven't been reading such posts for awhile and know better. 

[Slobodan Blagojevic]

Really? She is a witch?...

You have not been following the thread carefully and the context in which I used "nothing that was said...". Earlier in the thread, I posted a screenshot where I clearly included "witch" into opinions, not facts. Then I asked in another post if facts can be considered misogynistic. Therefore, my subsequent post was about facts that can be verified by videos, which clearly excludes "witch."

I am reposting the screenshot, for your convenience:

If you are gay.

Hey, that's pure Trump.

He'd be proud of you.
