    What do you lib people think of BIll Clinton saying he has a lot of RESPECT for Sarah Sanders and how she handled the red hen incident? ..this is at odds with Maxine's message... what is the unified message here by the liberals and where is the liberal leadership when you have significant past liberal voices admonishing what the business owner did? How can you root for the business owner when many of your liberal leaders say don't ?

    You don't know many conservatives or right leaning individuals do you?

    Trump equated the two sides in the incident where the white supremacist murdered the woman and injured all those others. That's not really the kind of condemnation to be taken seriously.

    The incidents in the ad were condemned by those on the left as well, but even if they weren't it is an apple to oranges comparison. I haven't heard the right condemn any of the insults Trump regularly uses or the uncivil things he's said.

    What I find on the right, is people saying that Trump doesn't really mean those things, or he's only talking about some people, not the whole group that he's referencing. They actually try and excuse it.

    I've already said that I don't believe the left should buy into the tone. But that being said, I don't think those on the right have any room to complain.

    The President has set the tone. There are so many more examples of him being uncivil than Maxine Waters, Kathy Griffin, or the owner of the Red Hen combined.

    We have minds of our own. We don't look to political leaders to decide what to think.

    Isn't it grosser for him than for the Red Hen? This guys is running or driving around with feces and then handling the feces to throw at a building.

    Sure it's gross to have it on the building, but not as gross has handling it and having it in your car.

    The right-wing sucks at being uncivil.

    That’s inconsistent with blade saying Trump sets a tone... you guys are just sore losers and the sad thing is when the hissy fit is called out by your own President Clinton - he championed Sarah sanders for taking the high road - maybe something you guys should pay attention to js

    Cool... We still have a person incharge of the world's largest bureaucracy who doesn't understand the difference between life and health insurance and engages in tweet battles with 4th grade level insults with random celebrities.

    This is why we call you stupid. You elected a racist, ignorant buffoon who consistently insults people and advocates violent behavior and you want US to take the high road.

    Generally speaking when bad political actors reach their boiling points on each side leftist produce riots while right wing nuts kill people (or do something extremely dangerous/threatening like pizzagate). There's more riots and property damage than murders of course, but there's no way to calculate one vs the other.

    Poo flinging is a stat that hopefully will remain uncounted.

    Apparently this is what a disastrous economy looks like.

    If Trump continues the winning he will no doubt be the greatest President in my lifetime - Approval rating is at all time high - people approve and the fact is the real Americans acknowledge his success https://www.google.com/amp/thehill.com/homenews/campaign/394384-poll-trump-approval-rating-ticks-up-to-47-percent?am
    Trump's approval rating was lifted in part by a 10 point climb among Hispanic voters. His approval rating rose by 6 points among Republicans and by 4 points among Democrats compared to last month’s poll.

    The amazing thing in the article is the 10 point climb among Hispanic voters - this is telling to me about the law breaking immigrants that bring and risk their children’s lives doing something the wrong way

    Among all the folks hand-wringing over Maxine right now, I'd like to know how they felt about then repub nominee Trump publicly offering to pay the legal bills for anyone who assaulted a protester at his rally.

    I think this says a lot about the electorate on the right and how they don’t vote on policy issues especially when it comes to Trump vs the left.



    People on the right are so entrenched with fantastical conspiracy and culture wars that they have no idea what’s good for them personally from a policy perspective anyone. Even the most basic policies.

    OMG... the left wants to protect the health of the only livable planet in our solar system... ahhh... vote Trump!! “We want Mars!!... We want Mars!!”

    OMG... the left wants to get corporate and foreign money out of politics.... ahh... it’s a George Soros conspiracy where our donors can’t compete anymore because Soros sends each one of us a monthly check!! MAGA!!!
