I guess you have the philosophical question... can you actually 'disrespect' someone who actually deserves it?

I mean, nobody (at least not who's a member of the Trump administration) respect hitler. Nobody respects ted bundy or Charles Manson. But they seem to be the type of people who deserve scorn.
 
FOX NEWS: We boast that we're a net exporter of oil, so it's that the case, why are prices going higher?

CHRIS WRIGHT: Because it's a global market. But energy prices are much lower in the US than they are in Europe or Asia. That's a result of President Trump's energy dominance agenda

Energy Secretary Chris Wright: "They even bigger problem than Iran with gasoline prices is Democrat green policies"

(Note how even the Fox News host isn't really buying this)

In the Uk when we talk about "walkable" cities we are including the suburbs in that - in other words there is a good public transport to take us into the heart of the cities from the suburbs or we could walk a couple of miles if we wanted to get into the city. In the USA even the suburbs are seemingly designed around needing a car.

I moved to a town that has 90% of day-to-day things I need within a 10 minute walk, larger town 5 minutes away by bus and the big retail park 15(ish) minutes away on the bus and it's freakin' marvellous.

The "dis" part of the word is a bit problematic, but I think yes, because we know what respect is, at least in the abstract. It's true that "dis" usually refers to a change from a previous state, but I think it can also mean a difference from a desired state. We can disagree never having agreed, because agreement is the subject of the discussion, and we know what it is.

By contrast, my brother in law lives in the greater Augusta, GA area. His neighborhood has no sidewalks. Most of the area is gated communities, few of which have convenient walking even inside. There are some bike paths, if you can get to them, but they do not function for transportation to useful places. This is an "edge city," with an old downtown, which is pretty walkable, but a huge outlying horizontal city, where walking is nearly impossible, even from one shopping mall to an adjacent one. To cross the street is a challenge.
 
The Trump administration plans to dismantle a $368m deep-sea observation system that has for more than a decade provided crucial data on ocean systems and climate change.

In a notice, the National Science Foundation (NSF) announced that it had “initiated descoping of the Ocean Observatories Initiative” (OOI), a vast ocean observation network comprising more than 900 instruments that collect data on ocean health, including current patterns, climate variability and marine biodiversity....

The notice, issued on 21 May, came just days after Trump fired all members of the independent board that oversees the NSF. It outlined plans to remove all in-water infrastructure from observation sites off the coasts of North Carolina, Oregon, Washington and Alaska, as well as from the Irminger Sea, a marginal sea between Greenland and Iceland...

The dismantling of the OOI marks another step in the Trump administration’s rollback of science and climate initiatives.

Trump has murdered over 200 people in over 60 boat strikes against supposed "narco terrorists", without having to present evidence or ask a judge.

What to know about US military strikes on alleged drug boats

The Trump administration's military strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats have killed more than 200 people.
apnews.com apnews.com

now we learn, targeting does not depend on intel about drugs or weapons on a boat - the Pentagon can be very certain that there are no drugs or criminals or weapons on board and still they get to murder people, destroy their vessel and leave them to drown.


this is a mass-murdering terror regime, spending billions to kill hundreds of people illegally.
 
Q: Trump says he doesn't care about the midterms, he's got numerous building projects around DC, he's very focused on foreign policy. Do you think he's focused enough on domestic policy?

MIKE JOHNSON: What he said was taken out of context and it's so unfair. This president is more dialed in on domestic issues here in the homeland than any president in memory. He spends more time on domestic issues in one day than Joe Biden did in four. That's an objective fact.

Dumocrats
Mutilation

DEVINE: What do you say to people who claim Bibi Netanyahu tricked you into going into Iran?

TRUMP: They're just the enemy. They're dumocrats. They want transgender mutilization of our children. He tricked me? I'm the one that started it. I'll tell you what -- if there wasn't me, there would be no Israel right now

Fired Scott Pelley breaks silence with bombshell claim: CBS ordered him to put lies on air

Scott Pelley, the veteran CBS News correspondent fired this week after publicly accusing network leadership of "murdering" 60 Minutes, issued a formal statement Tuesday night detailing what he says drove him out — and the allegations are specific.

"New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story," Pelley wrote. "I've been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them."

Pelley said the demands didn't stop there. Politicians, he wrote, had been invited to select which correspondents would conduct their interviews — a practice he called incompatible with basic journalistic standards. And he revealed that mismanagement had nearly killed an episode outright: the broadcast came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.

The statement named a culprit. The new owner of CBS, Pelley wrote, was dismantling the most successful program in television history "apparently to curry a moment of favor with the Trump administration."

As Raw Story reported Tuesday, Pelley was fired after confronting CBS News leadership in a staff meeting and accusing them of murdering the program. In his termination letter, CBS Executive Producer Nick Bilton said Pelley was dismissed "for cause" — a designation Pelley can challenge in court.

His new statement made clear he views the firing as part of a broader collapse. Senior leadership and two correspondents had already been cut before he was shown the door, he said, and "good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience."
