    Sen. Rand Paul having lunch with some staff in a California restaurant. Along comes a New York couple that recognizes them, and had something to say.... Watch.

    Nice respectable people?
    The kind of attitudes you would want to see in everyday America? A nice lady senior citizen, flipping off and screaming insults at a US Senator that was minding his own business, eating lunch in a public place.... and one side of our politics promotes it that kind of thing.

    Maxine Waters would be proud.
    The civilized people of America- I think not.

    Screw Rand Paul. I'm not religious but my thoughts were: Seek and ye shall receive. Or perhaps: You reap what you sow. You get what you pay for is also applicable.

    Only one side?

    You're using a single example as evidence that one side is uncivil?

    If you want to stop the problem get rid of the source. Trump set the tone and his minions cheered every step of the way. So stop your baby whining, You declared war on Americans. Now live with the consequences.

    There is absolutely NOTHING to say that Rand Paul was there from your videos, that could be a staged stunt in what appears to be an empty restaurant!!!

    From January of 2009 to January of 2017, you declared war on Americans.

    Let's see... I think I remember an incident at a restaurant called the Red Hen. You probably missed that one too. You missed the old lady throwing a bottle out her car window to hit a pickup truck on the highway that had a Trump sticker. I think that only got local coverage. Then the people physically assaulted for wearing MAGA hats, and more frequently verbally assaulted- by people they have never met and have no idea who they are attacking other than they support republican. We have a congresswoman who calls the president an MF.

    How about you match that- find republicans who are attacking dems minding their own business in a restaurant for example?

    You know the reality here, but along with incivility on the left is the denial of their own incivility while being outraged and anything they find offensive (which is about everything) by those they don't agree with.
    Despicable conduct is despicable conduct, regardless of party.

    HORSE MANURE. If you act like a jackass and then say "Trump made me do it" you aren't a man, your are a spoiled child who is totally unable to take responsibility for yourself or think for yourself.
    IF Trump can cause you to lose it and go wacko with just a tweet- he owns you, lock stock and barrel. Are you that weak?

    Trump is doing what I want him to do. It's not always pretty or politically correct- but then I got damn tired of voting for people who are skilled at lip service, terrible at keeping their promises and always fail to get the job done. I suspect that is the real problem for the left; Trump is gradually whipping the beast we call government into shape, and things are changing in the "good ol' boys" club.

    Yes, yes. If only we'd do what leftist nutjobs want, they wouldn't be forced to assault us.

    That seems to be a very accurate diagnosis of the logic, TC.

    Somebody please explain to me what the "double standards" is supposed to be.

    Are you claiming that it's "double standard" if we think it's ok for an anonymous American citizen to say the word "bullsh!t" to a Senator, but that we condemn the President saying it on national TV to the whole country?

    Sorry, I haven't seen Trump harassing random Americans at restaurants. Maybe you could post a video?

    He doesn't have to. He can harass them on TV. Normal citizens don't have that privilege.

    Sure... see below. But, are you saying that the President of the United States should not be held to higher standards than regular private citizens?

    Eamples you want more examples? were you born yesterday? The Dems have been lying about who and what Republicans are just about since there were Republicans. Just from recent memory Adlai Stevenson claiming that Ike was too dumb to be president. Hippies on a bus hurling epithets like baby killer at a young man recently out of basic training headed home. For what it is worth I was that young man. I watched another bunch of those idiots calling an old man coming to a local veterans day parade in Uniform a Nazi. Man had earned a Bronze star and been badly wounded fighting damn Nazis. Democrats have been doing this **** for ever it not only isn't new it's reached the point of self parody. It's called how to act like a simpering moronic democrat. Again you clowns want civility start out by acting civil.

    These Democrat chumps have the nerve to complain about Trump being uncivil when they've been calling him every name in the book for three years. I hope who ever eventually replaces Trump continues to shovel the crap back where it came from until the Dems finally wise up but that probably won't be until the second coming when they'll still be yelling epithets on there way down to the abyss.

    We can thank Newt Gingrich for starting this evil stream of hatred.

    Trump has picked up the incivility and married lying about everything to incivity. Look where Trump started as he crapped on Obama and tried to paint Obama as being born in Kenya and illegitimate.

    Look at Trump lying and name calling. Trump even crapped on the dead John MCCain. He craps on our military as he steals military funds.

    Lies and incivility that is what the world of Trumpism has brought upon America.

    It was the extreme right wing fascist Nazis who marched in Charlottesville chanting "JEWS WILL NOT REPLACE US" as other uncivil beings drove cars through peaceful protestors and committed murder. Then the king of incivility says that there are good people on both sides. Which ones? The Nazis chanting or the murderers driving through peaceful demonstrators?

    Neighter the left nor the right is monlothic or singular. The left had Waters but the right sadly has Trump. Those two extremes should not reflect upon the entire population.
