I responded once, and then when I tried again it was locked. Hopefully someone reported it.

...before I saw Trump do it.

I deleted the thread because I don't want to further anything Trump does or says, but it was something to snicker at, in fun, not animus like Trump.

But hey, thanks for singling me out, even though it was an initial reaction from several people here that he was overly animated.

Post here long enough and you'll step in it once in a while.

I like Beto and had no issue with joking about his animated hand movements but your point wasn't to tear down and you corrected it immediately...not sure why that deserved a call out!

...things you can't make light of because there's a spoiled junior looking on who will take it to the extreme.

I get silly sometimes, which is the exact opposite of my character most of the time, so frivolity is awkward, and sometimes embarrassing for me, but it can be cathartic. Horrified to see Trump taking it over the edge.

When I saw Beto on teevee this morning my first thought was "another Kornacki" with all the hand and arm flailing. Maybe he'll adopt a cooler speaking method without losing his passionate voice.

...easy decision.

I'm thinking Beto will probably make light of it sometime in the near future.

Better yet, he'll crack on Donnie's small hands. That's just hanging there...

I agree he is really animated, but I think some of that is nerves, some of it is just enthusiasm. Trump on the other hand is a toad the way he calls out and bullies people.

...it's one of the worst things to make an offensive post.

One thing I try to remind myself of is a tale I read of Coyote who liked to push folks past the point of doing something enjoyable or ambitious, farther than they intended to go, into some tragedy or doom.

You get in the moment, not seeing consequences down the road. Old as I've become, I don't really think I'll ever learn...

As they say, go with the flow

I missed it, but how is that reportable?

the hardest object his hands have ever felt are the shafts of his golf clubs. You can be certain he never picked up a hand tool or changed a spark plug.

he mentioned the Trumpster commenting on Beto using his hands too much. As if Donald Trump is an expert on style pointers. Hahahaha.

And, of course, there is the obvious comeback: Did you notice how large Beto O'Rourke's hands are?

Btw, I heard several pundits refer to the Bobby Kennedy comparison when talking about O'Rourke. If this meme catches, this is going to be a wildfire competition.

With Beto.

The fire is sure there, Fired up, ready to go!
