Do you see how gracious Barack Obama was to a man who has done nothing but maligned him for the last few years? Do you see how he put aside ego and pride to ensure a peaceful transition of power for the American people, while Mr Thin Skinned lashes out on Twitter at anyone who slightly criticizes him?
That’s what a man is.
Is that a concept you can grasp? I’m being completely serious.
“Breaking news: President Donald Trump just arrested on murder changes as 1 of the 6 rounds he fired in the air during his inauguration struck and killed one of the millions of onlookers present during the ceremony. Back to you Tucker.”
so he kills 6 out of the how many thousands? like 99.8% survived and you’re concerned? I’m fine with that statistic cause, you know, even 6 is not enough for me to care…
Lol, nah man, you’ve got it wrong. We’ve got to disarm all white males because if just one of us acts irresponsibly then we’ve all gotta be held accountable.
So having fun off the job is your example? That’s what we call ball busting and that’s something men do also. And by the way, Trump asked for it.
Trump basically questioned the legitimacy of a president because he looks different than other presidents, therefore he must be foreign – and pursued this pretty heavily for years. He also called him the founder of ISIS. Any other false equivalencies you have up your sleeve?
When have you seen any example of Trump being able to take a joke? He can’t even let SNL slide, and it’s satire.
Or we could have a better screening process for who gets to own a gun.
Fwiw i was training an immigrant (he’s been here now for like 15+ yrs) from Mauritanya yesterday. After we were done we had about an hr long heart to heart. I feel bad cause he is struggling to run our production machines and the lead and supervisor want to get rid of him. I told him he has one of the best attitudes I’ve seen (honestly, better than most of our US born white operators) and that that is what is important to me. He said his 11yr old daughter is getting straight A’s and that he got her a iphone 7 for Christmas that she only uses for half hr at night after her homework is done (great parenting). He also told me he was raised muslim and he decided a year while ago to stop practicing. I thought that was cool cause, one I’m not religous and also theres a lot more to life than a time consuming religion.
To me he has a quintessential American story.
Anyway, I’m sure you’ll have some witty/snyde respnse to this, go ahead. I just wanted to give you a glimpse into what I deal with and how I see these things in the real world once we step away from the PWI threads here…
Obama has the luxury of playing off his attacks as unserious or comedy because as a Democrat he has the media completely on his side. Trump or any Republican for that matter doesn’t have the same luxury to do that.
At any rate if your standard for a man is not engaging in vicious attacks Obama fails not only with respect to Trump, but also during his 2008 run.
I don’t agree with your standard for a man especially in the realm of politics where it’s practically impossible to get anywhere without attacking your opponents. Trump is just ahead of the curve
Look…if you don’t know the difference between someone with class and an inarticulate buffoon, then the whole “me conversing with you” thing is over. Have fun with your new president.
I think that’s been largely missed. As to all the claims of oligarchy we’ve seen because of his businesses and wealth (and those of his appointees), I’m afraid every time we elect a new president because there is always the risk of someone becoming a dictator, but I don’t think the risk is any different than it was with Obama.
Or check this guy out - he’s the ultimate alpha male, look how suave he looks with a gun - he banged A LOT of supermodels, including Naomi Campbell in her prime. Granted, he also ate some people (or at least parts of them ) but obviously according to Trump-introduced standards for what makes someone a good POTUS he checks all the boxes.
The US won WW2 led by a guy in a wheelchair, supreme commander in the European theater was (according to his mistress) impotent, the one in the Pacific suffered from erectile dysfunction. Not exactly alpha, isn’t it?
The British Empire was led by a pudgy whisky drinker, while arguably their most capable post-war Prime minister was a shrill woman.
Countries that choose their leaders based on fake and staged displays of “alpha manliness” and how much pussy they’re allegedly getting are primarily located in Central and subsaharan Africa, Horn of Africa, Middle East, Central Asia, Russia and recently the United States of America.
Look at all this pussy Qaddafi was getting! He really was presidential!
When you hire a dozen law firms in your wife’s native country to immediately sue anyone - and I mean anyone, from regular people posting on Facebook to obscure village websites - who dares to mention or even allude to the sketchier parts of her life.
It doesn’t matter if you think it’s a good quality or bad quality to pick a leader upon, it just is the way it is. Humans respond to alpha males, it’s intrinsic to human nature.
Here’s an interview of Trump from the 90s. Notice how well he charms the whole room? That’s alpha maleness. It doesn’t matter if you think it’s illogical or unimportant
Did you just post a video titled “Trump discussed Alicia Machados weight” to help me explain alpha manliness? How much she weighs?
No, that’s a guy talking about himself in front of people who were in his pay who had to giggle at his jokes or reporters whose livelihood depended on him providing enough source material.
By the way, this is alpha manliness.
Or this. The guy on the right (I know you’d probably be confused otherwise)
