Bush's personal toughness and imposing humiliation on Saddam Hussein, who had to be punished for thumbing his nose at America and thus wounding our pride.
In "How Facebook Warps Our Worlds," a May 2016 Op-Ed column reacting to news that month about alleged liberal bias at the company, Frank Bruni writes: Those who've been raising alarms about Facebook are right: Almost every minute that we spend on our smartphones and tablets and laptops, thumbing through favorite websites and scrolling through personalized feeds, we're pointed toward foregone conclusions.
Mr. Obama has taken great care not to express his opinions about particular candidates — at least in earshot of anyone who will leak them — and has told people around him that he wants to avoid even the slightest perception that he is "thumbing the scale" for any candidate, as he did by tacitly backing Hillary Clinton's primary campaign in 2016.
Because of the nature of these events — and because Allen seems to delight in thumbing his nose at them by repeatedly using elements in his movies and fiction that seem ripped from his own story — the big question for many is why Allen hasn't been drawn into the so-called "post-Weinstein" moment of reckoning for powerful men accused of sexual misconduct.
While it's on brand, Trump's decision to have the next G7 meeting in a place where the US government and international governments would be forced to patronize his business is perhaps the starkest illustration yet of how he's thumbing his nose not just at tradition and ethical standards but also the Constitution's emoluments clause, a little-used provision aimed at guarding corruption of presidents by foreign interests.
But their requests for no prison time — they have asked instead to perform substantial amounts of community service — could run the risk of backfiring, particularly in a corruption case in which both men were convicted of all eight counts they faced; some lawyers believe that asking to avoid prison in such circumstances is tantamount to thumbing your nose at the judge, the jury and justice.
I would say that my dad had a huge influence on me as well, because he had a 25-book encyclopedia set called Man, Myth, and Magic; when I was very small, I would find myself pulling out the books and thumbing through all the pages on astrology, and tarot, and witchcraft, and voodoo and I'd go to school with book reports on all of those things.
So this is not notable for being built outside of the U.S. in some kind of thumbing to Trump (as I said before, it was announced before we knew what we'd have today in terms of Trump's executive orders), but more for how it emphasizes that when it comes to tech, banging on about "America First" just doesn't make sense in terms of talent, or even American businesses.
Instead of actually thumbing his way along the interstate highway system, Leto mostly just fake hitchhiked with Good Morning America, tooled around the Texas Motor Speedway—not the smartest move to hitchhike on a NASCAR track, but whatever—and rode a Greyhound, where he reportedly led the bus in a 30 Seconds to Mars singalong, as if a cross-country Greyhound trip isn't rough enough on its own.
At least to the point that he'd choose "Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter" at a Lower East Side karaoke bar at 3 AM. Everyone else picks Frank Sinatra or Blink 182, but not Fallon, who leans on the bar with a glass of sake in his left hand, thumbing through to the letter "I' in the songbook, muttering to himself like a mischievous schoolchild: "Iron Maiden… hahahahahaha. Yeah.
While the story was first conceived in 2014 and thus wasn't inspired by recent events like Charlottesville, the developers have snuck in some last-minute Easter eggs that are deliberately thumbing their nose at the right, like a newspaper article with the headline "Meet the Dapper Young KKK Leader With A Message of Hope," an almost word-for-word parody of a real article fawning over white supremacist and alt-right founder Richard Spencer.
There's a good chance you read the New York Times (kudos, by the way), which means you're probably scrolling through its website, or thumbing through its app, or following its Twitter feed (along with some NYT reporters), or dropping a comment, or digesting a dozen newsletters, or buying a gift off a newly expanded Wirecutter, or baking a dish from NYT Cooking, or streaming a show recommended by NYT Watching, or generally cursing/praising its homepage redesign.
Look, maybe Benioff and Weiss didn't intend that scene where everybody dunks on the book literally titled A Song of Ice and Fire to come off as a jab at the guy who wrote the books they adapted (and that they then passed right by), but it still felt pretty uncomfortable, like a couple of teenagers thumbing their nose at their dad, who silently fumes while they make fun of how he's not cool enough, man.
And apparently Pacquiao's came this week, after Duterte's long nose-thumbing campaign against the United States and President Barack Obama (who Duterte called a "son of a bitch" in September and told to "go to hell" in October) culminated with his calling for the removal of all U.S. troops and military bases from the Philippines and blowing off reports that the U.S. will halt the sale of 24,000 guns to his government's national police over Duterte's approach to fighting drugs by calling American leaders "monkeys" and "fools" and saying he'll just get those guns from someone else, like Russia.
