    ...I just wanna say that I enjoy that kind of banter.

    At no point do I expect anyone to change their mind because of what I (or others on my side of things) say.

    That is not going to happen. Just as nothing any of the opposition says will change me from my opinion of Trump.

    We gotta accept that.

    In the meantime, although I throw a few barbs from time to time...I respect the rights of others to disagree as vehemently as they want.

    I love everyone...no matter where anyone is on the political continuum.

    Just sayin'!

    Just a reminder. This is a casual chat post...and I really do not want to get into any politics here. If you feel a compulsion to post political comments...please do so over in a political forum thread...and feel free to leave a link here.

    I really don't. But it is hard to resist stepping on the BS from time to time.

    Truth is, many of the arguments are so pathetic that they make me feel ill. This is a very dangerous time for the country and there is nothing enjoyable about it. There is nothing enjoyable about watching the death of a once great nation.

    If you are calm and collected while those around you are all losing their heads, maybe they know something you don't, - an old quote that came to mind

    Nothing wrong with remembering that (except for our members from other countries) we are all Americans.

    Political disagreement is very American. :flagus:

    ~ I like political banter among respectful adults. No "hate speech" please... :ashamed: :censored:
    Sadly some internet sites that claim to support free speech and allow discussion on politics do not employ fair-minded monitors, but instead allow biased individuals to taint the conversations in one direction to the point of excluding one side and favoring the other.
    A site that caters to political opinion/debate is a much better choice for folks like us. `:wink::blahblah:

    What frustrates me is that I often see a post which contains blatantly false assertions of fact. Instead of saying that, I ask for Links, and rarely are any forthcoming.

    Just a casual observation, you throw out barbs / tangents , when challenged you start to play nice , why is it?

    That would require me explaining to you what the concept "playing nice" means...and I do not want to waste my time.
