Obama was labeled as arrogant over this tidbit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83tK7pd-El0 - so yeah, anything close to Trump's behavior would have garnered outrage. Something along the lines of; "Well, King Obama does not like to be HUR DUR DUR DUR,..", but, Trump will get a pass of course. Because that is what a real leader should act like,.. unless you are Obama.

Also, look at the Right's love affair with Putin.

Hey, guess that both Trump and Putin have that Obama doesn't? It begins with the word white and ends with the word skin. But, I am of course race baiting, not telling it like it is.


That clip still cracks me up. Probably the most epic Presidential 'slap-the-dick-out-of-their-mouths' moment ever. Now I have to watch it again.


--------------------


As for the OP, as distasteful yet strangely hilarious as I find Trump, I'm actually going to have to side with him on this one. If someone is screwing up an event by acting like the rules don't apply to them, then out they go. Pretty straight forward on that one really.

I watched the video. The guy was interrupting trump and speaking out of turn. he was not called on and just started yelling.

security removed him. and rightfully so.


edit: the OP is also trying to twist the facts into something sinister when nothing wrong happened.

Exactly. Ramos crossed the line from being a journalist to being an activist or maybe even a protester.

Where this was a press conference he needed to be acting like all of the other journalists in the room and waiting his turn.

Did you seriously just pull an msnbc? Here's the actual paragraph And your quote Don't be a weenie.

Boom! Exactly.

Imagine if the bush admin spied on reporters. Many would subsequently bleed from their anus.


Hey now, let's not bring Jeff Gannon and Talon News into this! I'm pretty sure kids are posting in here!

TACO_BELL.jpg


When Clem O'Connor walked into the Taco Bell in his town for the first time, he was greeted with words, smells and tastes that offended him to his core. Though someone's taste buds being offended in Taco Bell is nothing new, what made The Political Garbage Chute reach out to Clem was the reason for his outrage, and the campaign he's started because of that outrage. O'Connor is convinced that Taco Bell is "an agent working for the Mexican government" and they are "infiltrating American culture one Cheesy Gordita Crunch at a time." So Clem wants Taco Bell run out of his small Tennessee town, and he's petitioned everyone from his local city council on up to the governor of the state to have the fast food chain thrown out of Hazard for good.

"You know there isn't a single hamburger to be found on Taco Bell's menu," Clem asked our interviewer rhetorically while adding, "there is nothing more American than a hamburger. So I have to ask, what is about America that Taco Bell hates?"

O'Connor says that he's "not racist at all" but that he "just know that you can't have a huge welfare state and let any Tom, Dick or Jose in the country" even though he also says he "understands that undocumented people can't get Federal and most state benefits." O'Connor says that his fight against Taco Bell is symbolic as a "struggle against the silent invasion from the South." When shown immigration statistics that prove no major influx of Mexican immigrants is coming into the country, O'Connor told us "it's the principle of the thing" and "just because it's one way today don't mean it won't be another way tomorrow."

Clem said that "until the border is secure, we can't have any more Mexicans coming over here" and that "coming to a place like America and seeing authentic Mexican food at places like Taco Bell might encourage them to come here illegally and never leave."

"Would it kill them to put a nice steak and potato meal on their menu," Clem asked. "I mean, steak and potatoes is American as fuck. But no, it's all taco this and burrito that. It's offensive to me that in America I might have to read menu items in a different language. I don't go to any fancy-shmancy restaurant where the menu is in whatever language the cuisine is in. I'm an American, different cultures frighten and confuse me. I want my menus in English and my waiters better speak it too, or you can get the fuck out of this country as far as I'm concerned!"

Clem told our interviewer that he doesn't "want to make it seem like [he's] anti-immigrant" he just "wants the invisible boundary lines made up centuries ago to be enforced." He also said that "it's a great thing that these people still see the U.S. as such a great place to make a life for themselves that they risk everything and break all kinds of laws to get in here" but that "we should take a hard-line stance with them because it's not like immigrants have ever helped us build intercontinental railroad lines or something like that."

"All I'm saying is that we live in America," Clem said while continuing, "and if you're not going to adopt American values then you should get out. Taco Bell is an American restaurant in America. There should be cheeseburgers and fries on the menu, and I should be encouraged to bring my gun into the joint. That's American values right there. But instead I have to settle for a Chalupa and a seven layer burrito and I have to leave my gun in the car."

O'Connor says that he is still waiting for the Hazard city council to return his calls, but he has been picketing outside the Taco Bell for the last two weeks. Holding a sign that says "It's The U.S.A., Not The U.S. of Tacos," O'Connor says that though most people who approach him have laughed and gone inside anyway, that he knows he's "sparked a lot of conversations around the dinner table lately" and that "at least a few people will think twice about getting a quesadilla."

"It's just too Mexican in there," Clem told us, "that's all I'm saying. It's just too Mexican. Would it kill them to put an apple pie on their menu?"


Burgers and Apple Pies at Taco Bell! Comical! :biggrin:

Another of Trumps supporters? maybe?

Funny post. Looks like something out of The Onion. I bet Mexicans get offended by the smell when they walk into a Taco Bell....although I admit that I enjoy the occasional Taco Bell taco and burrito.

But it has nothing to do with Trump as the article doesn't mention how he was influenced. Are we just going to start stating that any loon is now a supporter of Trump? People must be real scared that Trump might actually win to go to these depths. Just look at all the Trump threads in P&N. Even the Hillary threads have died down now that she is self-imploding.

I watched a little segment this morning on CNN, it's hilarious to see them try to manufacture an "issue" where there is none. One of the idiots was saying that the rest of the press in the room should have banded together to make sure one of their own wasn't "bullied". This is the kind of stupidity that passes for journalism or reporting these days? Nobody was bullied. The idiot wanted to use someone else's press conference as his own personal pulpit to spout his inane drivel. He got shut down. Trump was actually nice enough to let him come back later and ask questions, that idiot should be banned from all political press conferences until he learns to respect others and take his turn.

Yup

I am pretty far to the left, and philosophically, pretty much the opposite of trump, and I think he is awesome. I dont think it has anything to do with the GOP, as I dont care for the establishment overall (i Like Bernie, dislike Hillary, and disappointed with how conservative Obama is) Anyhow, with Trump, He is fucking hilarious. He always knows what to say and how to dodge every question and knows just the right calculated thing to say for maximum reaction. Hes kinda like the movie Bullworth.

Yeah? It's been awhile since I've seen that movie, but I don't remember Warren Betty's character saying shit half as stupid as Trump does fairly regularly. Is Trump having an existential crisis?

Keeping with the movie, I think chasing some brown sugar and hitting a joint could do the man a lot of good with people who see him as a bigoted buffoon.

Someone please tell me Trump actually had a "we need to keep fucking until we're the same color!" moment and I just missed it! Would that count him as populist? *gasp*




C'mon Trump you got this, another Bush brain donor and a Koch Bro. marionette can't stop you now! :)

You are reeeeeally stupid, aren't you, Indus?

Perhaps instead of beating off to every Trump article you stumble across while making angry post after angry post, you would be able differentiate between obvious (albeit clumsy) satire and an actual news story of any merit.

Your obsession with Trump is starting to get a tad creepy.
