Trump calls Trudeau 'two-faced', cancels press conference and leaves Nato summit early after video of world leaders making fun of him

He delayed them getting to a damned ■■■■ tail party.

The charges were dropped because it was a huge political bombshell, not because they were improper or because the police did anything wrong.

Trump brags about being a whiner.

People call him a whiner.

Trump defenders say it’s the liberals who are the whiners.

At the point at which he was arrested, he had already adequately demonstrated to the officer that he was in fact, in his own home.

This is stated in Crowley’s report.

TheDoctorIsIn · 2019-12-09T05:05:09.058Z

No, the charges were dropped because they would have almost certainly been tossed out on 1st Amendment grounds, and the police would have lost their ability to humble.

After having refused to ID himself and becoming abusive with them hindering their ability to do their job.

He then continued being an ass and he was lucky the only charge he got was the DC charge.

Oh ih is this one of those arguments where you need to respect the police unless you are a cattle rancher and then you can amass an army to fight the feds…?

El oh el.

The part where he was resisting and interfering with officers performing an investigation.

They were responding to a B&E call and he admitted to having forced the door.

The cops acted completely appropriately.

Gates was not arrested for breaking into his own home.

The police report showed that they knew that he lived there.

The charges were dropped because there was no crime.

Arresting someone for being rude or lacking deference isn’t something that we should be encouraging or defending

Gates identified himself.

Being verbally abusive to the police is not a crime.

We have the legal right to flip a cop off.

Remember the days of arguing in detail as to whether someone pointing a rifle at federal agents from a hidden position was a good or bad thing?

Yeah… me too.

Plasmaball · 2019-12-09T11:19:31.464Z

Yeah…patriots far as I remember…
But if you are black and or talk back its justified police abuse…what a weird world we live in

Do you not think the same politicians make fun of Macron when he is absent, Merkel when she is absent, and Johnson when he is absent?

This OP shows a remarkable ignorance of human nature.

Funny how no one’s caught that on a hot mic. It’s almost like they have zero respect for Trump.

Macron, Johnson, the other guy. It’s almost like they think he’s a clown with no way to retaliate against them.

Studies on humor show that most jokes entail putting someone down for some attributed characteristic or foible. The left no longer does this as humor, but as serious powerplay. The centre and the right still understand and use humor. Which is why a Trump rally is light and uplifting and cheering, and Democrat rally is dark and funereal.

Uplifting and cheering for the sort of people who like to call people names and think it is hilarious when Trump does it continually.

So presidential.
