Perfectly summed up in a single, pithy sentence.

he doesn't respect anything that this country stands for.

the s.o.b. who betrayed his country and its constitution to steal it.

Would these buttholes have said the same thing had a crowd of Germans in 1933 booed Hitler? "Oh, we may disagree with his politics, but its the Office of the Chancellor and must be respected?"

Jesus, are you all wore out weeping yet?

Trump deserves it

Trump doesn't respect the majority of people living in this country. Why should they respect him?

nt

There isn’t a legitimately elected president occupying it.

We’re all under occupation right now.

Yes! We are battling an insurgency of extremists who are hell-bent on destroying democracy.

he's wrong. RESPECT is earned. To get respect, you have to give respect. trump doesn't respect American institutions and norms, so he get no respect from me.

Some in the media and even some Democrats are arguing that point. It's ridiculous.

in the last 2 1/2 years.

Why is it only during Republican administrations that we are told we have to show respect for the Office of the President
(even if we hate the ass sitting in the chair)?

Republicans sure as hell didn't respect the office when Obama was in it.

Anyone who believes anything that comes out of a republican's mouth lacks independent thinking. It almost seems as if to become a republican you have to be a natural liar and a hypocrite.

but that the office of the president, given what many of its holders have perpetrated over the decades, does not deserve respect..just because it is the office of the president..
---And that in that case, and given what is happening and has happened throughout the world, what happened at the BB game is peanut shells on the floor..

And like someone here said, respect is earned, whether you agree with that person or not, and it is obvious that the creature in the WH has not earned the respect of anyone. I don't even think republicans have respect for the creature, they seem to fear him, but that is not respect.

Cry foul....

when the American people are waking up to the facts/paying attention.

It never fails, everytime trump gets whats coming to him, everybody wants to treat him like a baby whose being picked on. Always forgetting all the sh.....ttttt..tttt!! he's done to other people!!! How many times has he encouraged "lock her up!!" at almost every rally, meeting, or convention. Now we're supposed to show respect, PLEASE!!! DONT FORGET MR COONS, THE OFFICE OF SECRETARY OF STATE IS JUST AS DESERVING OF RESPECT AS THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENCY, WHERE WHERE YOU THEN? Mr Coons, where are you on impeaching this traitor? Will your feelings for trump change come vote time? It's times like these you find out who the republicans are in the democratic party.

Going on and on about how we should be praising him for the Isis guy killed like we are supposed to forget the million other deplorable things he has done!

From possibly raping a girl to allowing drilling in places where it will affect people’s water he has shown zero concern for the people and probably only tried hard to get this guy not because he’s bad but because he wanted his moment in the sun.

He deserved every second of the booing and the lock him up every single second!

BS'ing, he's a freaking con idiot boy.

We're in the midst of a constitutional crisis, and there's no room for letting the president off the hook. Not for one moment.

I resent the shaming of the spectators by chattering media personalities and politicians like Chris Coons. They must be of such high privilege that they will be protected even if the destruction of institutions continues.

Charles Pierce has it right, as he always does:

I am certainly not going to advocate that people treat Trump better than Repubs treated Pres Obama.

and more important, a way to stifle free speech. They know they can't arrest us for booing or otherwise criticizing the president, so they try out the old "respect the office" canard. An office doesn't care about respect. An office is an idea, a label, a title. It certainly isn't a human being, who does care. As Trump certainly does; he looked briefly like he was almost in tears at the game last night (good!).

Of course, that goes for any elected official, but this crap is bandied about mainly about the presidency.

The chants were about "Lock HIM up."

It was disgust being expressed at the individual. FULL STOP.

Let freedom ring!

Don't say anything bad about Ted Bundy or your are disrespecting the work of all the other suicide hotline workers!!

His only other notable job was working for the Republican party.....surprise surprise.

I agree with Pierce 100%. Trump never gave Pres. Obama the respect he certainly deserved so spare me the outrage now. Get over it!

as to the who and the what of gun deaths is brilliant.

Don the Con has never done anything worthy of our respect.

I have more respect for manure.

by refusing to enter the building until HST had left, Harry rightly condemned Ike for disrespecting the office of the president. But, then, Harry Truman wasn't put in office by Stalin or any other foreign dictator, so the office of the president did deserve respect and the deliberate insult Ike flung at him was undeserved, inappropriate, and beneath the dignity of a 5 Star General and newly installed president.

Booing Trump is just that: booing Trump. You don't like it? Tough.

But I'm also fine with disrespecting (and hating) the current office holder.
The two aren't the same thing.

Holding a title doesn't mean instant respect and co-operation is bestowed on the person. Maybe initially, but once you find out that person is an inappropriate placement, both fade quickly.

The next President of the US had better prove he is an intelligent, trustworthy person, with the interests of the people at heart.
Only that will restore the trust and co-operation of the people.

Trump's biggest mistake was to think the title was a magic cloak that hid all his shortcomings and gave him the power to do what he liked. Not so, neither are true.

are two things I DO respect.

a shit hole? Oh, I’m sure his handlers scrubbed it but it still was circulated in the press a while back.

I’m suppose to respect him? No, he respects us first.

And I sure as shit am under no obligation to respect it more than that corrupt orange idiot racist fuckhead does.

This handwringing, pearl clutching going on today because Trump got what he justly deserved is ridiculous!
Respect the office the presidency? You have to be joking. This president does not respect the office, the citizens of this country, our laws, constitution, norms. Please do not demand respect from us the citizenry that feel like we are in a fight for survival -

the boos would have been accompanied by the throwing of much rotten fruit and vegetables. And the odd shoe.

Were the baseball fans not prewarned about the Orange Pustule's presence at the game, or are they the type of Americans who just don't eat vegetables or fruit?

The fruit would have pelted the windows and landed on real fans.

Good point, though!

So I shouldn't say anything derogatory about a priest, minister or teacher even though they sexully assualted children? Yes those are highly respected positions which deserve respect, but the people who fill those respectable positions have to earn my respect. You don't automatically earn the cloak of respectability just because you warm a seat.

i second what fla dem says as well. you earn respect, not demand it and it goes both ways .
