34. I wasn't asking you. But interesting how you jumped in to defend Trump by blaming his knees.

The person I was responding to did not even raise that.

Of COURSE a curtsy is not what a progressive would crucify him for, but it is deadly to his base. Why not use all the tools at our disposal? The ones we've been using haven't worked. His base doesn't care that he is an ignorant, vulgar bigot. They LIKE that about him. Now him showing emasculating fealty to the Saudi King, that is deadly. Why do you think Fox refused to show that video and even went out of their way to make up a false headline that he did not bow, let alone curtsy?

We should crucify him on this for his hypocrisy. How are we not being "better than them" by pointing out his hypocrisy?

And no, he was not looking confused. He curtsied after getting the award. It was a controlled drop. His 70-year-old knees didn't buckle, he didn't reach out for support, he fucking CURTSIED.

If you think this is such a nonstory, why are you chasing down this subthread over it?
