RIP Barbra Bush

At least YOU’RE not calling your fellow posters “dimretards” or “libtards,” Reese. Gratitude for trying to keep it civil.

The hate speech coming from so many members of this forum — at least in the era of the current regime — is totally unnecessary.

Can you refrain from using "twitler"? There are those who consider that "hate speech".

Yeah, I can do that. Can YOU put a hate filter on your own keyboard, Mr. Mod?

Trump meanwhile went batshit again on Fox and Friends. Admitted he lied about the Stormy Daniels thing.

Character assassination? NOPE. When you have no character, it’s called suicide.

I won’t call the soon to be ex-POTUS as Twitler anymore. I’ll call him by his family name. DRUMPF. Is that a problem for you in “your yard?”

And you know, you’re right. Name calling is more Trump’s game than mine.

As my hero Ronald Reagan would say " well here we go again"..
I have never in my life seen the amount of hate coming from the left.. Trump is trying to MAGA, sometimes with drastic measures. Because no one else will do what needs to be done.. How about the left, instead of race baiting and hatred actually try and contribute something.. If not get outta the way!!

Either side spewing hatred at the other is hardly anything new in American politics, especially when we're basically divided into two winner-take-all teams. Obama, Bush Jr., Clinton, Bush Sr., etc all had the opposite party standing firmly against them. In American politics, you don't win elections by working with the other side and getting things done. It's more profitable to drum up your base with negative campaigning and to demonize the other side.

This isn't new, just a product of our two-party system, imo. The polarization in our politics and candidates is also made worse by the Gerrymandering of our districts, which produces more polarized candidates, especially in the House of Representatives.

The US is already great. We'll never return to the relative greatness (compared to the rest of the world) of the Post WWII era that conservatives love so much simply because the rest of the world has mostly recovered from the devastation of WWII and is starting to catch up to us, economically. It doesn't mean that our economy isn't still magnitudes ahead of the rest of the world, but obviously when you're at the top, you can't expect to advance at the same rate as someone who is starting from the bottom.
