    I would love to snorkel that (assuming there are no gators in it).

    Odd, you were rooting right along with all the U.S. lefties when Trump was being impeached by Opinion, hearsay and conjecture, now look at you :roll:

    I thought you were asking if the guy with the sword should be caned. He'll be slapped on the wrist and let go. Deplorables don't deserve rights. sarcasm

    A long reach bamboo fishing pole clipped off to the proper length at the heavy end can do one hell of a lot of damage.

    We need fishing pole control laws.

    If you're at 34 deg. north latitude or under you really can never make that assumption. At 30 deg. and under the probability is quite high that gators are nearby, likely watching you. And there are exceptions where gators can be present above 34 deg. Then there's those gators freshly released into the wild from pet cages that can be anywhere. Plus the moccasins are everywhere. The only thing Jaws has over freshwater is the music.

    Born and raised in Fl, spent lots of time in the woods and countless hours in waist deep water of the blackwater Peace river, fossil hunting. Never had a problem, just keep your eyes open. Gators rarely bite with two exceptions, eggs or babies nearby or morons have fed them. Illegal to do so. Pet gators are not legal, sans a permit.

    Yes, I was and I reckon it is an almost 100% guarantee that Trump will be impeached again.

    Now, what is your answer to this?

    Show me even ONE bit of evidence (including circumstantial) that this idiot is of the left.

    Don't matter, opinion trumps all tangible evidence BL.. If the POTUS can be impeached from it, then this stooge can be also! WHY you ask, because that my opinion and I have many on this site that agree with it and we have all come to a general consensus that he is a leftist, so LEFTIST it is..

    Sorry that the American just you were pom-poming about a few short week ago ;) ¯\_(º¸º)_/¯

    No, objective/rational people wonder what his particular mental health/drug issue was. People who want to believe they are A) an elite minority. B) persecuted. C) Slightly paranoid wonder why 'Leftists' (i.e anyone who doesn't agree with their political views) have it in for them.

    News flash 99.999% or people who disagree with your political beliefs don't actually wish you any physical harm. They also believe BTW that you don't wish them any physical harm. Instead, if they worry at all its about the delusional .0001% of the population who are responsible for the violence that concerns you so much.

    There has actually been an increase in violence against Trump supporters.

    Im not seeing Trump supporters threatening lefties with swords-post some links if you've got em.

    Here you go. Please see the list of individual incidents included in the article. And no, as per my previous posts I don't think the people named in the list represent 'typical' supporters of Donald Trump any more than I believe those misguided individuals attacking Trump supporters are 'typical' Democrats.

    Nor BTW is there any evidence to suggest these anti democrat attackers are being coordinated by some shadowy right wing group 'wired' into the Trump Administration.

    People on both sides of US politics need to stop seeing political opponents as the 'enemy', if only because by doing so you become the unwitting tools of your actual enemies in other nation states. Divide and conquer is a truism for a reason.

    No swords? I count 8 attacks last year according to your link-there have been more than that over the last month against Trump supporters.

    I'll give him this. The guy's got great hair. I had to go to Bosley to keep half the thickness he's got.

    Look its not a competition and that wasn't the take home message from my post.

    The list in that article was not meant to be comprehensive and I'm pretty sure I could dig up other cases fairly easily if I could be bothered doing more research. Just like you could, I'm dig up more instances of anti Trump violence. In any event as I noted in a previous post political office holders and their supporters tend to garner more attention from loons simply because of the fact they are the ones in power and hence have a far higher media profile than their opponents. And lets face it, if nothing else Trump is good a generating media coverage.

    Lets be clear - one attack on either side of the political spectrum is one to many and the key takeaway is not that Dems (sorry lefties) as a group have it in for Trump supporters. There is no underlying plan to these attacks, no 'movement' behind them and no conspiracy involved. Almost without exception the people involved are fixated loons or drunken, short tempered yobs.

    And the greatest threat to both the left and right wings of politics in the US is IMO the increasing tendency of certain parts of the US electorate to demonize the 'other' side to the point where any kind of compromise on any issue becomes impossible. Because then you ARE playing right into the hands the foreign enemies of the United States who would like nothing better than to see the US paralyzed by internal dispute to the point where its political, economic and military power abroad is crippled.
