1. I like Owen Jones

He does a good righteous rant.

[Wounded Bear]

2. Indeed!

3. For hearing impaired DUers:

He pounded that phrase “why should we show respect to a man who...” repeatedly as intro to multiple offensive things trump has done, such as grabbing women, separating children from their parents at the border, denying climate change, etc and represents the America of bigotry, not the America of civil rights, etc.

8. Ever wonder why

we don't see this kind of stuff from our own journalists? Remember this? https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=dutch+journalists+us+ambassador&view=detail&mid=81342513E4C32543B37A81342513E4C32543B37A&FORM=VIRE

I thought we were the ones with the "free and unfettered press".

12. That is

such a beautiful picture . IT brings joy to my heart to see it. Thank you U.K.! And you for posting it of course.

10. The burn is scorching there

[LiberalLovinLug]

11. And of course we see the right wing pro Trump pro Brexit mouthpiece eager to jump in to defend

If the clip would have continued. Of course they can't let Jones speak on his own. I would like to see just how she reacted. She's already rolling her eyes when Jones talks about Trump grabbing women by the privates. She can hardly wait to counter his statements, obfuscate, and excuse. Shows that you can find even women there, like here, that inexplicably defend this piece of sexist racist shit. Why?

[Ohioboy]

13. Yep, why should we respect him?

[apnu]

14. Respect is earned. One needs to display respect first to earn it

Trump respects nothing. Not his wives, not his children, not his businesses, not his employees. When the shit hits the fan, Trump blames everybody but him first then when the truth comes out he gaslights us into thinking he never blamed people for his screw up.

To say nothing of Owen Jone's rant here.

Trump respects nothing, not even the flag, so his demands for respect are laughable.
