Nope. I dont care if they become President or Congress critters or Supreme Court Justices. I absolutely don't care. Barney Frank would have received my vote every election.
I do care that the President of the United States is on all fours when meeting meeting with the Russian President. I do care that he met alone with the Russian President for two hours and then sided with Vlad instead of the US intelligence community. That says very clearly that one person is dominated by the other. The homosexual community would say that Putin is the pitcher in this relationship. Not just me. |

Frankly I am not one who uses sexual metaphors to describe others, but those who do so to suggest Putin is dominant over Trump are not necessarily homophobic. The core of the intended insult is the demeaning unequal nature of the relationship, not necessarily the fact that both participants are men. It could be just as much an insult in the context of a straight relationship. e.g. "PM May came to power through Russia's Brexit campaign and now is just Putin's little b---h."
Having said that of course I have no idea what is actually in the minds of the people using these metaphor. |

It's not homophobic, it's just how to pick insults.
If you perceive someone whom you don't like to be bragging about his heterosexual exploits, then to accuse him of engaging in homosexual activities would be most likely to arouse his anger, which would be the point of the insult. Has nothing to do with fear of the gays |

Trump also wants something from Putin. He was trying to get a Trump hotel in Russian during the campaign. In that sense, he really is selling out the US.

This is pretty harsh on Arnold, he at least had pretty good reasons why he switched sides. He was overlooked and others kept taking the credit for his work, and getting promoted over him and so he snapped and decided that if the US Continental Army wasn't going to be loyal to him, he wasn't going to be loyal in return.
Trump has no such excuses. |

"Pitcher" and "catcher"? Is it the 1990s? What next, the hanky code? Get with the times!

Although “Traitor” is shorter and fits, if not as nickname-y. |
