    Thought on the Political Division.......

    What the lHoly hell is going on with people today.....Why in tarnation are the Democrats melting down, causing hate and discontent and now pushing toward outright violence toward anybody in the Trump administration or that works for him....

    Maxine Waters calls for attacks on Trump administration: "If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere."


    Trump allies say liberals are increasingly targeting administration officials with open hostility because minority-party Democrats can’t stop the administration’s policies in Congress.

    “The increasing personal nastiness toward people who work for President Trump reflects the left’s understanding that they are losing,” tweeted former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. “Nastiness reflects desperation, not strength. They can’t win the argument, so they use nastiness. Sad and dangerous.”

    Now the bull**** and out right lies about border separation...the media is flaming the fan of fire...hate...violence....

    Sooner or later somebody is going to get killed, actually ****ing shot dead or worse...

    The Democrats and the media will be to blame, look at all the hate, the attacking, the **** talking they are spewing and why, what has changed over the last 40 years to get to this point...

    Why can't we sit around the pickle barrel talking **** and politics & get up, walk away putting that behind us like we could 20 or 30 years ago....

    Plain and simple is that the democrats/liberals are not able to admit they are loosing, they are not controlling Trump, can't control him or his "cult following" and thus they have to play the blame game, attack the people and not the message.

    When we were in the big city at the Ice Cream place, it's in a liberal part of town, artsy fartsy, hippy, pot area...no biggie xcept your hearing more anti republican, anti trump "**** trump and his Nazi followers" was one quote we herd while trying to enjoy ice cream...

    Is this what the Democrats want, they lost, they can't admit it, can't face it, are fighting back against the people who voted Trump in and attacking them verbally....

    How long before they kill somebody...or try to kill somebody and get shot...

    All because politics and people can't be adult and admit they lost & in 4 years have another shot at it....

    When Maxine Waters has become a primary face of your party, you are headed down the tubes.

    People I have paddled rivers with, camped with and popped more than a few bruskeys around a campfire with have un-friended me on F B. and in real life. [ not that I had that many friends to begin with ] . All because I am more conservative than liberal and think that Trump should be allowed to govern as were past Presidents.

    To borrow a statement from the W H Press Sec. I think that says more about them than it does me.

    But, the bigger question is. WHY ?. I have not changed from who I was prior to the election. Also I have not been shy about who I voted for. It was not Trump nor clinton. I am the same person but now they refuse to associate with me.

    I even take an extra shower every now and then but, that doesn’t seam to help.

    I don’t know the answer but, this has got to stop or the Country we once knew will be gone. [ if it isn’t already ]

    We have become far left and right, maybe a little middle would do some good.

    Gee for a minute I thought Dork was on to something. Then he went on to skewer one side or the other. This election it's Dems last one it was Repubs.

    Like Billy says most of us are around the middle.

    No Billy---anyone to the left of Attila the Hun around here gets slandered with all the left side slurs---the fact that they are far from liberal matters not---if you aren't smack up against the right---you must be smack up against the left. There is no allowance for moderation of any form. Pretty childish actually.

    That is why we need a whole new Congress, probably a whole new set of Supremes and a large turnover at the DOJ and FBI. It seems that NOBODY can get anything done because of political bias and fighting. I long for the days when the Dems and Repubs could sit down and work out details that would satisfy both sides, as JFK and Reagan did. Bill Clinton and both Bushes could work with the other side as well. Obama started the downfall, and as you notice I completely left out Nixon and Johnson as they were trouble.


    As a side note according to a Quinnipiac poll, Obama was rated as the worst POTUS since WW2.

    Right, it is only escalating to dangerous levels. How long before somebody get seriously hurt or killed? Having mobs follow politicians and their staffers around antagonizing them is going to get everyone into a fight.


    We are falling back into the racism of the 1900's and it is starting to look like the Israelis and muslims.One does not think the other should exist.

    I would have to disagree a little bit Dave I mean you know a lot of us respect the president of the United States and you apparently hate his ever living guts so I guess when you come on here and post- things about our president you're going to get a little bit of a push back. So I guess it is what it is. The heck I like you I just disagree with you when it comes to our president

    Actually no.....

    You did not see Republican leadership screaming DUMP TRUMP at ever turn, you can see videos of that, you did not have Republican leadership talking impeachment from the day Obama was elected, you did not hear all the bull**** coming out of Republican leadership like Pelosi, Schumer, Waters and such have said and done....

    You never ever saw a single republican elected asshole out talking violence to Obama's followers, you never saw the lever of hatred and **** talking against police, in favor of race riots....

    Obama and is spawn gave birth to Antifa and that violent movement...strong liberal backers supported violence against trump and his followers.

    It can be traced directly to the Democrats, Hillary asked Trump if he would admit he lost the election....Well she never admitted she lost, she is still bitter about loosing a election that was rigged to make her president & now she never will be president....

    Hell, you don't even have any leadership in the Democrat camp, they don't have anybody to run against Trump........they never thought that far ahead....

    Democrats lost, they lost the election, they don't know how to deal with loosing power, loosing their importance to a outsider, a non politician who they loved up till he threw his hat into the ring....

    Hate is a poor choice of words---I despise his persona, even while agreeing with a lot of things he has done.

    The real issue here, is that many are unable to argue a philosophical point without attacking the individual. I, as well as you, are allowed different points of view without having to insult and belittle each other as a result. That point seems difficult for some to internalize.
