You are confused.

It’s wrong when anyone does it.

When they don’t it isn’t.

But how about when they shouldn't when they did and wouldn't when they could?

Of Trump’s behaviour? Is it not obvious?

He fires those who challenge him thus intimidating others not to. He uses his position to insult and ridicule, as he has been trying to do with judges, special investigators and judge’s clerks recently in an attempt to bully them. He has ridiculed the disabled and disadvantaged from the podium.

The examples are many.

Yeah, that’s literally what just about every person in power has ever done. ‘Ridiculed the disabled and disadvantaged’ is the only thing there worthy of note but sounds very loose, more like a subjective, hysterical cry as opposed to anything worthy of consideration. I could be wrong but I haven’t personally seen it.

As for ‘Is it not obvious’? No, no it is not. I don’t follow American politics too closely, it’s more of a soap opera than anything to me. As I’ve alluded to in a previous post, the calling of other men as ‘bullies’ is something I see as the bizarre behaviour of the insecure. Perhaps it’s a failure of articulation but I wouldn’t ever really use this word to refer to another bloke, possibly when one player physically jostles another off the ball in football but that’s about it. I find it hard to empathise with a grown man who resentfully refers to another man as a ‘bully’.

 


Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Examples please. Brexit doesn’t qualify.

I disagree. Far from everyone in power just fires people because they disagree. They discuss things and reach understanding or compromise. Just look at Biden. Who has he ever fired? Does that mean no one ever disagrees with him?

There was a well reported case of Trump mocking a physically disabled man during a rally. There is a big difference between physical dominance on a football pitch and being a bully off it. A bully uses his position to exert unreasonable power over another. Not necessarily in a physical way, bad though that is, but sometimes through position, influence, money or even knowledge. Forcing others to bend to your will is to bully them. The correct way is via persuasion. If that fails then there are ways to resolve disagreements, with the law the ultimate sanctuary.

Maybe you do need to be a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. Try to catch the wind because not only does it cry Mary but the answer is blowing in it.

He's fired a few. They probably don't count though.

Your comments on this are getting rather bizarre. Are you feeling ok?

I'm as right as a trivet thank you. I thought we were having a gibberish competition.

I am not talking about junior level staff still in post from the previous administration being asked to leave. Something Biden would not likely to have been aware of himself, let alone do.

I am talking about key roles. People with daily contact and close advisors.

You were on your own with the gibberish. There’s no contest from me, You win by default.

Something Joe Biden is not aware of? Seems unlikely.
