I wish you were right.

Here we go...

[Jonathan Carone]

That’s one of the things I was referencing last night. Those are just plain wrong.

I don’t agree with Trump forcing through a justice.

I don’t agree with many of ACB’s stances.

But the way leftists are fighting this is just plain wrong.

I know you don’t. But like I said. The Left can’t help themselves

[thepostman]

It is terrible all around but let's not try to pretend this is a left exclusive problem. It is a problem in America politics and i absolutely hate it. Trump spends his rallies making fun of anybody and everybody. The left tries to pretend they are better than that and then they do this kind of stuff.

I have been disgusted with what I have seen from the left on this. No excuses whatsoever. Disgusting.

[Jonathan Carone]

I don't pretend it's just the left, but I've spent enough time talking about the issues on the right on this board. It's only fair for me to point out the left on this one.

[thepostman]

My statement was in direct response to "the left can't help themselves". Which by itself is true but it is a bigger representation of the larger issue in American poltics today.

But yes, I am disgusted by the left once again showing they are just as bad as the ones they condemn. It is just justified because they are on the "right" side of history.

Sounds familiar huh?

You knew the Republicans couldn’t help but fill the SCOTUS seat. That was certainly pointed out for what it was. I honestly don’t recal the Right attacking SCOTUS nominees the way the Left does. I might be wrong but I don’t remember Kegan or Sotomayor being treated anywhere nearly as badly as Roberts Gorsuch and certainly not Kavanaugh (and don’t get me started on Bork and Thomas). It seems to be a purview of Democrats

[thepostman]

As far as SCOTUS goes. You are probably right about that.

My comments are more about how the tone of the Republican party has changed drastically in the last 4 years. The left was always the party that couldn't resist getting personal when they disageed with someone. That all changed when Trump revolutionized the republican party and they can no longer try to pretend they are somehow morally superior.

Regardless. The stuff you shared and other stuff I have seen is absolutely disgusting and should be condemned. Notably it should be condemned by Joe Biden. He probably won't, but he should.

Yeah. My biggest complaint with W is that he would never fight back against blatant lies and attacks. Obviously not a problem with Trump in office.

[thepostman]

Yeah, Trump is a fighter all right. A dirty fighter who doesn't mind resorting to low blows but hey, he ia a fighter!

I get why Republicans appreciate Trump fighting style. I just think that the way he fights back damages any kind of moral highground.

Oh well.

While I wish there was more decorum that’s a pipe dream that was shattered for good in 2012.
Trump fights like his opponents. He fights just as rough and tumble as the Democrats

[Jonathan Carone]

Meanwhile the country suffers because both sides empower the extreme edges of their base with all the fighting.

[thepostman]

Exactly. It isn't good for our democracy. Maybe it is a pipe dream but, in my opinion, high standards are important. So I'll keep dreaming this pipe dream.

FIFY

[TH Spangler]

Running nice guy conservatives puts Clintons in the White House.

more bbbbbut the right! . Sorry, the republicans have never gone after justice nominees like this. comparing a person who adopted haitian kids to slavery and baselessly accusing another of gang rape? get out of here. this is exactly why i can't vote for democrats on a national stage. the emporer has no clothes. they are completely and unabashedly unhinged on this front. you can blame trump all you want but this is exactly what many voted him in for. the undressing of the political elite. surprisingly the republicans have played it well. but the democrats look insane.

Agreed. I’m actually voting for a Democrat locally

[RubberMallet]

i vote democrat almost 30-40% of the time at a local level. Because I know many of them or at least know a bit of them and their character.

And this goes back to my pet peeve with 3rd Party folks. THAT is where they should be focusing their attention. Those are the people you know. You will vote for them based on personal knowledge over policy.

[RubberMallet]

here in the great gerrymandered state of Illinois, its really how you have to get into politics. as a democrat to even really have a shot at a local level. in many positions the primary IS the election. about 15% of my ballot will be be unopposed.

Bob says he is deeply disappointed in you.

[Purple Haize]

Is he gonna try and wrestle me?

[JK37]

No, you’d enjoy it too much

That video was something.
