Its those lifts I tell ya. needs some pointers from Melania. Thomas Hurt Aug 2020 #3

No TH, it's not the lifts. I'd say it was a stroke. He demonstrates AnotherMother4Peace Aug 2020 #17

I'm sure you are completely accurate in your assessment, but... AZ8theist Aug 2020 #36

I agree - but it's not quite working. Bunker Boy was at the top of the stairs AnotherMother4Peace Aug 2020 #43

But NOT until the election sandensea Aug 2020 #59

Oh, please. It is just a matter of time before he really does do a face plant. Grammy23 Aug 2020 #5

LOL on 'face plant' and I can see it! CurtEastPoint Aug 2020 #21

I did this when I was holding my one year old son. NNadir Aug 2020 #51

Thankfully, you and your son were not badly injured. It could have been worse: AZ8theist Aug 2020 #85

Believe me, I know. NNadir Aug 2020 #86

"I like Presidents who don't require a walker." riversedge Aug 2020 #14

That's a shitty thing to say. WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2020 #16

It's a play on Trump's "I like soldiers who don't get captured" about McCain... Silent3 Aug 2020 #20

Funny, it reads exactly like someone expressing prejudice against people who actually need walkers, WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2020 #24

The reference is implied by the sentence structure/wording ... mr_lebowski Aug 2020 #26

Okay, it's an abelist comment based on an old Trump quote. WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2020 #30

Gotta disagree. Bunker Boy's "I like people who weren't captured" is infamous. nt AnotherMother4Peace Aug 2020 #28

Okay, it's a famous comment tacked onto an ableist statement. Still shitty! WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2020 #31

Some people feel justified to use such statements because Trump does. whopis01 Aug 2020 #44

Yep. I try to call it out when I see it. WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2020 #49

I don't think the post needs a reference to McCain, POWs or getting shot down. We all know he Autumn Aug 2020 #33

I don't think we need ableist language to attack Trump. There's plenty of other shit to go after him WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2020 #71

I think he can be attacked any way anyone wants to attack him. Autumn Aug 2020 #74

Sounds good; I'll continue to complain about ableist language I see people using. WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2020 #75

Go for it. No one is stopping you from doing so. Autumn Aug 2020 #76

I reject that there's a context in which it's okay to use ableist langauge to attack Trump, and that WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2020 #73

Please excuse my ignorance Mossfern Aug 2020 #80

Language that enhances social prejudice against/oppresses people with disabiliies. WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2020 #81

Our society deserves credit for being well and long past that treestar Aug 2020 #88

It is making fun of TRUMP treestar Aug 2020 #87

Calling Trump the n-word would also be making fun of him. That doesn't make it okay. WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2020 #89

We all need aids: glasses, meds, walkers, etc. Bunker Boy seems above us AnotherMother4Peace Aug 2020 #25

Using ableist slurs against someone who is himself ableist is ableist. WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2020 #32

Too bad Tarc Aug 2020 #53

Why not use racist slurs against him as well? WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2020 #61

You want me to say that Donald Trump is a cracker-assed white supremacist? Tarc Aug 2020 #69

No, I mean the n-word. WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2020 #70

Because Trump is not, um, black? Tarc Aug 2020 #83

On the contrary, that's the entire point. WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2020 #84

Neither logic nor rhetoric are your strong suits Tarc Aug 2020 #92

. WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2020 #94

I'm not sure about that... electric_blue68 Aug 2020 #55

Is using racist slurs to insult a racist person a racist act? WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2020 #60

Probably. I will think more the ableist aspect. electric_blue68 Aug 2020 #62
