what a hole.

he's an asshole rapist, but not sure that was much of anything.

gently snuggle up to their shoulder and say, excuse me honey.

I saw him move her sure, but it wasn't aggressive or physical. And we don't know what he said to her if he said excuse me or what.

I wouldn't have done it that way, but I don't think it was a "push."

No "excuse me, honey", he just grasped her shoulder and moved her out of his way.

No respect at all. Who does that to their wife or even girlfriend?

nor that I would do it, but it wasn't the sign of a monster either. When I read the word push, I have an expectation of what I'm going to see, and I didn't see it.

He literally grasped her shoulder and moved her out of his way.

Says a lot about their relationship, dominance and lack or respect.

That was just a rude move. Sorta like what we saw trump do during that head of state conference in Europe early in the admin. He just shoved another leader aside too. Remember?

What is it with these people?

what trump did was forceful and clear, significantly different than what happened here.

I should think you'd be surrounded by contempt. (and deservedly)

because I hate doing anything to make someone else feel uncomfortable or unappreciated.

Particularly in full view of other people.

But he nudged her aside, and she clearly wasn't forcefully pushed, or surprised or took it in any negative way.

There's space between "I wouldn't do that" and "he's a monster."

and very very ugly. I'd bet money he is an abuser at home--whether limited to verbal abuse or physical, who knows, but I'd bet it is one or both.

And if you consider that a mere "nudge" then that says something that you might need to consider.

IT WAS A SHOVE! JUST LIKE HIS RUDE MENTOR:

between those two situations, just going to have to agree to disagree and I'm not going to make assumptions about his personal marriage life based on that one motion.

and let me tell you, if you did that to most people, you might well get a very angry response. So you might want to consider your manners around other people. Women will not take men being so abusive--nor should men accept it from other rude men.

Despite RW men thinking such boorish behavior to be acceptable, the tide will turn and soon. So, behave like that at your own peril should be a message for ALL.

verb (used with object), nudged, nudg·ing.
to push slightly or gently, especially with the elbow, to get someone's attention, prod someone into action, etc.

It wasn't slight or gentle. A tap on the shoulder, followed by an "excuse me" would have been polite. Not what he did.

instead of a cared-for human being.

It certainly was not a loving gesture, that's for sure.

He did not show the courtesy that you would expect toward a fellow human being, never mind a spouse.

who make excuses for Trump sycophants.

Are you sure you're in the right place?

By the way, those gold stars next to DUers names are donations. Try and make one, it will give you more credibility, especially if you just "joined".

about whether you think I have "credibility."

...as you can see by the replies, no one is buying your baloney.

While below another half dozen see what I see. But sure it's "no one."

which is a sinister form of gas lighting.

it was 7.

good catch.

like I side, Trump math.

Send DU a donation.

Really? They must all be hidden.

Or did they not seem especially angry enough at my response to respond, or call me a Russian troll...you know, like you.

Send in a donation to prove you care about this site.

Happy 3 month anniversary.

Try to stop making excuses for Trump's people. This is not your first time.

ProTrump? Saying I don't see a push is proTrunp?

GTFOH with that mess.

And what are my other "proTrump" positions.

Do tell.

A-holes (R).


* aka republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief

He went to hug his young daughter and moved her to the side so he could.

I am missing something?

You say something like, "excuse me, sweetie, let me get by you"...something.

There was nothing gentle of loving about that. It was rude to not say something. He just moved her out of his way without even acknowledging her, like she didn't matter.

That is not how loving couples operate.

I hate this guy and all he stands for.

But, he doesn't push her per se, and she does not seem offended by the "move."

Just panicked a little that he lost sight of his arm.

Do you question that this is a shove? Geebus... What a perspective!

If someone is in the way, shove them!

from piece of shit "role models" who taught them that women are decorative and/or for screwing, but don't let them stand in your way (literally or figuratively).

It raises my blood pressure every time I see it.

But--and I can't believe I'm defending Kavanaugh--I just don't see what other people are seeing in that clip.

That whole shit show was unnecessary. He was already sworn in the day before.

She is an obstacle to be moved. Not his loving spouse who he is sharing, with their daughters, this honor. He's a proven liar but his girls look like they are proud of him. Doubtful that he will change. As for now, I hope he is good to them.

But like a true Republican she will stomach it and stay for the money and power.

and allow the person to step aside on their own. He didn't even look at her - just shoved her out of the way. If that's how he treats her in public, imagine how he treats her behind closed doors. Of course, we've already seen plenty of examples of his boorish behavior during his testimony and when he turned rudely away rather than shake the extended hand of the shooting victim's father. What a POS.

imagine what he’s like behind closed doors after a few drinks.

....then pushed her toward her seat. It was just before he sat down.

I pointed that out to my wife back then, I'm surprised no one brought it up when it happened.

It's right after the 11 minute mark:

I even rewound that entrance several times to be sure what I saw. It looks like she bumps up against the side of the chair as he forcefully directs her to sit there. She looks a bit cowed to me.

This is the same man that refused to shake the hand of a Parkland father who lost his daughter during the shooting. Kavanaugh looked initially surprised then angry, his face showing disdain. During the Fox interview, he wouldn't allow his wife to respond to a question, jumped right in and talked over her. Now this image.

Not a good look. Very revealing, too.

but that did show a major asshole.

It just gives them ammunition.

will just get you 4 more years of the orange, Nazi, criminal.

I'm glad I don't live in your hate filled world.

exactly the difference between you and they would be if we acted like them. If an honest man starts copying thieves and liars because it works for them, is he still an honest man? Or has he changed?

There are plenty of real concerns and fights to fight. I’m not going to become them, and rolling over isn’t the alternative.

We need to not cheapen and undermine real concerns with this contemptible confirmation by manufacturing fake "crimes" and indulging in baseless demonizing, -- the kind of thing that some could reasonably say is just as bad as what the trumpsters do.

Remember? Melania thought he was smiling at her. Then realizes he is interacting with Ivanka behind her. And her face falls into misery.

These men and their daughters. Just sayin'.

and his refusal to shake his hand. I don't think that makes me as bad as the republicans.

I don't like him from his lame year book quotes to his shrug emoji eyebrow furrow to his "Roe v. Wade is established law, until I get a hold of it" I even hate his haircut and I don't like his family.

At this point I think I can say this motherfucker has no redeeming traits. I probably would get mad at the way he put his shoes on this morning.

Do you want to ruin his life and make him say, excuse me or something?

My husband of nearly 50 years has done this to me on occasion. And I've done it to him. Without knowing anything about their relationship I don't think this one gesture is a lot to base an opinion on.

Unlike his shunning of the Parkland father who approached him and who Kavanaugh refused to acknowledge - that was the first deciding factor for me in the hearings.

I hate Kavanaugh and believe Ford unequivocally, but this is just stupid.

Not a push. He moved her to give his kid a kiss.

Focus! Far more important things to be concerned about than this.
