    Oh please. At least Trump punches up while elected Democrats punch down upon the American people.... Basket of deplorables anyone?

    Ultra maga fascist anyone?

    Bitterly clinging to their guns and bibles anyone?

    Hypocrisy be thy name

    Democrats and especially the elected ones... Have nothing but sneering contempt and arrogance and disdain for anyone who doesn't agree with them

    Some of Trump's lickspittles have lashed out in hissyfits because I have noted the Cry Baby Loser's continually lashing out in hissyfits.

    The malady has metastasized.

    Perhaps, the GOP berserkers' capacity for internalizing their mindless fury is best illustrated by whackjobs Greene and Boebert, screeching hysterically at the President, and then at one another.

    'Reprehensible': Hush money prosecutor demands stricter gag order against Trump

    The prosecutor in former President Donald Trump's criminal hush money case Monday demanded a stricter gag order to clamp down on his "dangerous, violent, and reprehensible rhetoric," court records show.

    Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg filed his motion to New York City Justice Juan Merchan, whose daughter has been the subject of repeated attacks from Trump on his social media site Truth Social, according to court records.

    "[Trump's] dangerous, violent, and reprehensible rhetoric fundamentally threatens the integrity of these proceedings and is intended to intimidate witnesses and trial participants alike—including this Court," Bragg wrote.

    Once again Don is baiting the court in to acting. Merchan really needs to do so. Issue a new gag order and if it is violated throw Trump's fat ass in jail.

    What absolute hogwash.

    Biden declared Easter trans visibility day.

    You have zero, ziltch, objectivity in your complaints here. Just more Orange Man Bad non-sense... posting silly pictures and half truths to serve your partisan agenda.

    It must be an election year, all the radicalized partisans are foaming at the mouth.

    The lowlife is endangering innocent families, provoking his unstable worshipers by his immature tantrums.

    It must be stopped.

    One is a religious holiday with history. The other is a made up holiday in an attempt to placate a group of people who cannot be satisfied

    Biden should **** his mouth next time

    nope, once you make it a federal holiday, it also becomes a secular holiday

    you can do whatever you want to your religious version of the holiday

    You using all these tactics of intimidating and character attacks to describe people that disagree with you speaks volumes about YOU not other people.

    "Unstable"

    "Worshipers"

    "Tantrums"

    Whatever. You're a partisan extremist that can't understand why people disagree with you, so you call them names.

    You can logic your way around a garbage holiday but when you **** with people's traditions and religions with some woke bs like trans national day...don't be surprised or shocked when you get the hate.

    causality, it is what it be.

    "i don't understand why people are upset?"

    Civility died when every corporate media outlet reported that Trump had thrown the bust of MLK out on the WH lawn shortly after he moved in in 2016. He didnt of course. But they all reported that he did. The ridiculousness of their willingness to report such obvious bullshit with zero regard for the truth or even their own credibility killed civility forevermore in US politics. Its all bullshit now, we know it is, they know it is, we know that they know and they know that we know. And they dont care, and we dont do anything about it. So they keep doing it.

    This is so much bigger, deeper and broader than Trump now. The civility was banished because it led to efforts to legislate compromise legislation that endangered the modern GOP efforts to replace loyalty to country and the American people, with loyalty to the base of its party. You cannot have civility and define as the enemy of American, the very people you are being civil to. Remember the modern GOP is performative, rather than productive. You need a script, a villain and hero to get that virtuoso performance captured and appreciated by the intended audience. You need to duplicate the same script, in all 50 states and contain the idea of compromise and productivity as legislative values. The modern GOP is leaning into a sick, twisted replica of what it once was and they are brazen about it.

    I mean you can say sorry for inventing a stupid holiday that fell on the same day as a religious holiday but at the end of the day, it's insulting to a large group of people as you attempt to placate a group of people who can't be satisfied

    "I don't know why people are upset about this!?"

    I noticed many responses were uncivil. Surely there is a message there somewhere.

    I love how you completely ignore sixty years of democrats calling their opposite numbers racists, Fascist, Nazi, and stupid. Get the beam out of your own eye before you gripe about Trump complaining about obvious conflicts of interst between the judges and their family members regarding Trump persecutions.

    Buddy, I've called out people on the left for doing that. You are making false accusations against me.

    Civility has truly eroded since Trump came on the big stage. His uncouth conduct is being adopted by his supporters as their new norm of behavior. They seem to favor an idiotic bully. It seems to give them ""permission" to behave likewise. A devolution into the "Ugly American" version two. Social media is not helping to enhance society either.

    Trump gave fair criticism of the leaders in our government and the election process.
    The left held up severed heads and dreamed of blowing up the white house and burned down cities and chased Trump into a bunker.

    Get the plank out of your eye comes to mind.

    In "normal " circumstances that would be ideal. The problem now is that Don has fostered a lot of rage in his followers, and they would make him a martyr, and/or revolt ("for him") They BELIEVE what he says......and think he is being "persecuted". (which is as delusional as he is)
