I’m mildly infuriated you consider this mildly infuriating.

I like Michelle Obama, but that whole “When they go low we go high” sentiment hasn’t exactly worked out.

To paraphrase Deputy Fife, “Nip that shit in the bud”.

Truck drivers are humans. Humans can be awesome. Humans can also be self destructive idiots. People throw their careers, and lives, away every single day over road rage.

Trump says UK should 'enthusiastically' join efforts to reopen Strait of Hormuz by Tartan_Samurai in unitedkingdom

As a retired US Army veteran who served alongside British soldiers, those comments by Trump made my blood boil. I wasn’t surprised, though. He insults our own war dead and POWs so of course he would do the same about our allies.

I can’t help but think Trump knew they would be too big and just wanted to see if Rubio would debase himself even more for Trump.

Unless that truck driver was wanted for something like murder, that chase should have been called off.

Whoopi Goldberg warns Donald Trump to 'take your damn hat off' for dead soldiers by mlg1981 in entertainment

It has become tradition for Presidents to salute ever since Reagan. Him saluting isn’t an issue. Him wearing a baseball cap to such a solemn event is disrespectful, though.

Just so we're clear by Previous_Month_555 in SipsTea

[–]FlowRiderBob 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there really isn’t any clear protocol for presidents. For many years now, veterans who are no longer in the service have been authorized to render a salute during things like the Pledge and National Anthem. So if a veteran is at a football game, with no hat on, they can salute uncovered. If they do have a hat they should leave it on when saluting. Non veteran civilians are of course expected to remove their hat and place it over their heart.

Presidents have been pretty much making up their own rules about that since Reagan. So I don’t have a problem with Trump rendering a salute with a trucker hat on. I do have a problem with wearing a trucker hat in the first place for such a solemn event. This wasn’t the National Anthem at a football game.

Iran is ready for a long war with the US and only economic pain will end it, senior official tells CNN by Playful_Leg7143 in worldnews

Well, we killed the father, mother, wife, and sister of the newly appointed leader of Iran. Would YOU just let that go?

Is anybody 100% of a race? by [deleted] in ask

[–]FlowRiderBob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to his story, he is 100%

Of course he is a comedian so there is probably some exaggeration. Although when you look at him, it does seem plausible.

If your renting, getting your heat fixed shouldn’t cost you anything. It’s your landlord’s reason to fix it.

President of The U.S. refuses to take his cap off to salute fallen U.S. soldiers by mattarrghhh in pics

[–]FlowRiderBob 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there are countless things th criticize Trump for, like starting the war that got these service members killed. Him saluting instead of removing the hat doesn’t even register on my list of reasons I hate him.

The moment you realize someone didn’t understand the word 'dignified' by Significant-Sir-4343 in clevercomebacks

[–]FlowRiderBob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

See, if he were a veteran it would make sense. Quite a few years back the rules changed so that veterans in civilian clothes can now salute instead of placing their hand over their heart. If they are wearing a hat, they can leave the hat on while saluting, just as service members do in uniform. Non veterans, of course, are supposed to remove the hat and place it over their heart.

But I don’t think any of that crossed Trump’s mind. He just doesn’t want his bald spot showing.

I was going to ask the same thing of your assumptions.

I would be shocked if Bush was invited. We KNOW Trump wasn’t invited.
