    civility is a two way street, apparently many in GOP think it is a one way street for the liberals. Who is less civil than president Trump?

    Literally no politican besides maybe a few wacky state reps that occasionally make the front page for crazy actions or words spoken.

    So I did a quick search and saw no condemnation from you when Trump insulted the Khan family which shows me that your outrage here is purely political rather than principled.

    This is just a flat lie. You are learning from Trump

    No. I don't see Hillary yell the elections were rigged the night of the election.

    The difference between the Democrats' complaints about election interference and Trump claims about "rigged elections" is that the Democrats claims comes from our own intelligence community, the same one where you believed the word of when assassinating Solomani.

    It's truthful only when Trump agrees with the information handed to him

    True cult of personality that Trump. Entire opinions of our intelligence apparatus changes at a whim based on Trump's feelings.

    They're not snowflaking, they're trolling. Do you think they're really offended?

    Trump's deflection strategy is working perfectly and Nancy fell right into his trap. Everyone is talking about a piece of paper being torn instead of his idiotic administration.

    Trump certainly didn't start that practice. I'm sure we'll find plenty of your posts condemning Obama for doing the same?

    Given that it IS now the practice in SOTU speeches, I thought the guests were well chosen and in keeping with the theme of his speech. The only one that should have been controversial was Rush. That the Dems made and are making the others seem controversial is all on them.

    I would actually genuinely love to go in a back and forth with you to actually show receipts of divisive rhetoric from both because I genuinely want to understand whether I'm being gas-lighted or you are deranged in believing Obama and Trump were similar levels of divisiveness in terms of rhetoric coming out of their mouths and their actions. Obama was divisive in the sense that a lot of people were triggered that a man with the middle name "Hussein" was elected President of the United States. It triggered the "this country's ethnic demographics are changing for the worse " crowd. But that is no fault of Obama's rhetoric and actions.

    The whole thing is a mockery. You have the President refusing to shake the Speaker of the House’s hand. You have the Speaker of the House ripping up her copy of the President’s speech.

    You have AOC not even showing up. You have token pandering to the family of a soldier.

    You have the President lying and Democrats not clapping.

    It is all gotten out of hand and everyone at some point needs to be held accountable.

    You know how I feel about Trump, but Pelosi needs to go as well. This isn’t romper room and it isn’t a reality show.

    WWTD?

    What would Trump do if the roles were reversed? Anybody complaining about people not being properly deferential to Trump must be hilariously unaware of irony living in the Trump-led country.

    Trump wants everything to be a divisive mud wrestling match? Dont be surprised when Dems show up in unitards with a bucket of mud. You can only get punched in the face so much before you start punching back. Trump deserves to be Trumped. Very nasty man.

    I am sure we will see your posts criticizing congressman joe wilson screaming out "you lie" at President Obama during a televised joint address to Congress. Or justice Alito shaking his head and saying "not true" to President Obama at a SOTU (ironically, for remarks Obama made about Citizens United ruling... was Alito still bitter about Obama's opposition to Alito's nomination to the bench?).

    I think we can all agree that Hitler was a little mean to minorities and somewhat too militant.
