I (Awkwardly) SALUTE YOU! or "OMFG WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO HERE!"

So Liberals are in an uproar over

Trump saluting an Enemy Officer during his NK visit. Screaming "treason!" and "SEE SEE! He likes enemies more than Americans!" The majority of them post the still photo that apparently shows him smartly saluting the (Ok I have to admit, I do like the guys uniform) officer. My problem isn't with Donnie saluting the dude. If you watch the actual video, you'll see that when the moment comes, Hair Furrer is completely and utterly confused at what to do. The dude salutes while Trump holds out his hand and Trump awkwardly salutes him back. It was obviously an "Oh crap what do I do" moment on the Toupee that walks like a man's part. If you watch the video, it was less of a "saluting the enemy' than it was "I have no idea what I doing" thing.

No, my problem is the hypocrisy of

the Right over the moment. They have already demonstrated it quite well by praising Trump's efforts in NK while forgetting how they completely eviscerated Obama over and over again when he even suggested that it should be done. Now, we have the salute. When Obama bowed to one of our ALLIES!!!, he was demonized over and over again by the RIght Wingnuts as being weak and betraying America by showing subservience. Faux News ran with that for months after the event. Now Hair Furrer is seen saluting an Enemy Officer and all of the Trumpublicans are defending him and coming up with exquisitely delusional reasons why this is COMPLETELY different from Obama bowing.

John McDuffie provided the most

perfect example of doublespeak on the matter. (In his defense, he was not aware of the actual event yet and was speaking in a more general nature, but his well-worded explanation pretty much mirrors all of the BS being spewed by others who actually knew what was going on. WTG John!)

Politics is filled with BS.

Politics is filled with hypocrisy. It is an occupational requirement. The very idea of a politician is a contradiction. A Politician MUST keep his vast numbers of supporters happy by making them insane promises that he has no real ability to keep and a Politician MUST do whatever he has to to keep his job even if that means screwing over the very people that elected him. It is only when people understand this simple fact that they realize that broadly defending one group while destroying the other groups is pointless and only serves to make things worse.

Every political group is guilty of this. None of them are innocent. The only way any of this will change is if we stop this insane partisan blind support of "Our" side and realize that we are all in this badly damaged boat rapidly sinking in a sea of manure together and start patching the holes and draining the crap. To quote a director that I never really liked, "WAKE UP!" Because if you don't wake up soon, you're going to need to learn how to breath bull poop.
