Do Hugs And Hand-Holding Save Lives And Repair Homes?
No matter how quickly President Trump responds to a disaster like hurricane Harvey; no matter how much federal aid President Trump gives to those unfortunate people suffering in the Houston area; no matter how much praise the local officials, Republicans and Democrats alike, dealing with the hurricane destruction in Texas, give to Trump for the quick and professional emergency assistance he’s given them, his petty, liberal, Democrat detractors are now criticizing him for not giving enough hugs, for not holding enough hands and for not emoting sufficiently with the victims of this disaster.
And, of course, right on the heels of this criticism that he is not being out-front and personal enough with those people who are suffering, is the opposite criticism that he is concentrating too much attention on himself and not being impersonal enough and letting the victims take the forefront of attention. Even in the face of a disaster of unseen proportions that this hurricane has produced, liberals can’t set aside their hate of Donald Trump and appreciate the emergency assistance the federal government has provided. It’s a certainty that if Trump had not gone to the devastated area and had not met with local officials and given the help that he has indeed provided, that liberal Democrats would be wailing and moaning about how unfeeling and insensitive Trump was in this hour of need. But the partisan, political attacks on Trump are always there, the Democrats just change the words to fit the current circumstance.

When Trump announced that he would personally donate a million dollars of his own money to help the locals provide relief, liberals could have taken this as a personal “hug” of sorts, but instead they claimed that Trump was only thinking of himself, that he was trying to up-stage the people suffering in Texas and that he was placing his wealth before the welfare of the hurricane victims. But the snotty, petty and bitchy negative statements of a female CNN reporter about the “inappropriate” shoes that Melania Trump wore as she boarded Air Force One while accompanying Trump to Texas for their first visit there, is beyond explanation or understanding. Hillary informed us that an attack on one woman was an attack on all women, so has the CNN reporter apologized to the women of America for her attack on them, via Melania Trump? One would be ill-advised to hold one’s breath awaiting the apology.
Trump-hating is destroying Democrats. What saves lives and repairs flooded homes is not hugs nor hand-holding nor childish comments about the First Lady’s shoes, it’s quick, decisive action, and that’s what President Trump is good at, and that’s what he’s been providing and will continue to provide. https://www.conservativedailynews.com/2017/09/hugs-hand-holding-save-lives-repair-homes/

You have to have an ongoing conversation and for it to be at loggerheads to call an impasse and both sides have to agree to it so no one gets a final word and calls it. 

You may be correct about the first part of your sentence, but I am sure you are WRONG about both sides needing to be in agreement.  As I understand it, only one side need call for an Impasse, and the other side MUST honor it.

Perhaps I was in error here and on your other article to initially call for the Impasse before you pissed me off, which I am sure you will do, so I was only trying to head that off to prevent it before it happened.  So, I guess I will wait for you to piss me off, then call for an Impasse.  Is that preferable to you?

It only requires ONE person to declare an Impasse with another and assuming all that I explained is in place, the impasse must be honored.

The person declaring the impasse gets the last word? Or not?

I would say it's only fair for the one closed out by the impasse to get the last word... with the caveat that it not be an insult nor anything other than an on topic comment or an agreement to the called impasse.

If Pres. Trump donating a million was for attention is the same to be said of Miley C., and all the other celebrities who have, also, donated a million and the celebrity fund raisers that are in the works?  Between Gates, Zuckerberg and Buffet....they could finance the entire clean up.

Some people are going to find fault with everything and some people are just looking for a fight.

I liked the article.

Hand holding and hugging may not save lives directly, or repair a broken city, but it may give someone the courage to put one foot in front of the other and keep on going.  Why else do we attend the visitation at the funeral home?  We go to offer comfort and show support.  So, while everyone is griping about it, I think it was a good thing to do, and very presidential.  Why else do we visit our friends and neighbors when a disaster strikes them?  We hope to help, even if in a small way, and let them know we care about them.

I'm not going to criticize Donald Trump for trying to offer comfort and what help he could, personally.  It was a very presidential thing to do.
