To be fair, he was obliged to salute a North Korean subaltern under the terms of his loan agreement with Deutsche Bank and contracts are sacred to The Donald.

Has Trump established the precedent that all Commanders in Chief are obliged to peep into pre-teen beauty pageant changing areas?

Because I don't think that Joe Biden is up for it.

Ronnie hosted many episodes of Death Valley Days.

But Trump gave us Death Wish Days.

Have a little respect!

Though it's about the smallest annoyance from 45, it always chaffed a bit to see that draft dodging piece of shit salute the flag. Active duty service members, veterans... hell, even scouts in uniform are allowed to salute old glory. That orange trash bin is none of those, and I bet he still does it.

Are you seriously saying it is against the law for civilians to make a specific hand gesture? If so, the USA is even more of a police state than I thought.

That's it right? If she had been saluting they'd be clutching their pearls about it too. "How dare she salute?!"

Lee Marvin found him to be a complete moron and deemed him poor at his craft.

That's enough for me.

I'm confused, Tulsi said Kopmala was a fascist who locked up all the pot-smokers when she was AG and now Rudy's pal says she hates cops because she won't coffee cup salute the military. What does hologram Biden think of this?

Saying "At ease" would not make sense if I were a civilian and not above the person in the hierarchy of command. I would have no right to give them orders of any kind.

According to your logic it would likely be rude of me not to curtsey to the Queen of England, even though I am not her subject. (Not that she'd curtsey to me first, of course.)

The Pentagon disagrees with your take on the situation. https://www.usnews.com/news...

Some Repub members of the Senate would have to take off both shoes to show their full level of love. After that I guess they could continue to strip, depending on which Russian strongman it is.

I've been under that impression for many years now. And yet they persist.
