(14,167 posts)If a routine like that had been given during the Obama administration, the outrage probably would have been warranted. We had a President and administration that exuded respect, dignity, and integrity. They also could take a good joke.
THIS pResident and administration have completely smashed the line of decency. There is no line anymore. Therefore, anything goes.
When the pResident finds some decorum and decency, maybe we can talk. Until then, I'm for giving as good as we get.

(10,874 posts)I'm worried that we will be so fucked up as a country by the time that Tiny Hands Macgoo is forced out, that we will not be able to return to normal decorum. We have truly felt that truth and manners have been tossed out the window. I get it. But how will we be able to throttle back the bile?

(14,167 posts)Kennedy, Harris, Castro, Schiff... any of these Democrats will be more than capable of setting a national tone of decency and integrity again.
But we cannot continue to bring knives to gunfights. We'll just continue to lose.
Remember how the rest of the world reacted when we elected Barack Obama as president?

(11,648 posts)RW AM radio has spewed bile, hate, xenophobia, racism unchallenged with no counter weight since the Fairness Doctrine was tossed. It will matter little how respectful and restrained future Democratic leaders are to the deplorables. But it will matter to the rest of the world.

As Michelle Obama said, "when someone is cruel or acts like a bully you don't stoop to their level"

(1,000 posts)I see your point and respect it, I almost want to be with you on this. I have never felt this much anger towards the others in my life. I just can't see where she went over any line that is left.

(43 posts)NPR hosted the writer of a book titled "Bring the War Home". During the interview the writer talked about the 10s of thousands of private militia members dedicated to overthrowing the government and installing their own vision of what America should be. Some neo-Nazi, some Christian cultist, but all support Trump! This is going to have to be rooted out and home schooling, which is used to indoctrinate not educate, needs to be all but abolished !

(6,974 posts)thuglicans only want there to be a line for YOU when discuss THEM. NO ONE thought about a line when Rush Limpballs insulted Chelsea Clinton. thuglicans said suck it up. They stay insulting Hillary, Michelle, Barack and any other Dem they see fit, and Dems and the left are supposed to sit back and like it. You earn respect, and if you don't respect me, then I won't respect YOU.
I have friends (Dwindling in numbers thank GOD ALMIGHTY) who still don't get that thuglicans are not into playing NICE or FAIR. MOST are trying to still take away our health care for GOD'S sake, which every American has the right to--not just them and their families.
thuglicans are not into playing NICE or FAIR. They're out for blood and will smear, destroy and literally KILL anyone in their path. They're guilty of treason, of circumventing the laws of our COUNTRY, literally. What would make anyone with a functioning brain think that they'd play fair or nice? I'm not packing a bag of Marshmallows to a thuglican machete fight. NO, I'm taking boxes of machetes, because you know damn well that thuglicans always have 2 to your 1 of everything.
As for this mostly complicit liberal media which doesn't EXIST, go take a flying leap. Take your complicit, corporate behinds, your piousness and your fake outrage at Michelle Wolf with you. We have a treasonous, ignorant, pathologically lying pig installed in the White House who mocks people, calls people names, is racist, is sexist, treasonous and who call YOU "FAKE NEWS," and who wants YOU arrested....and you want Michelle Wolf to apologize to tRumputin's Mini Me Sarah HuckleLIAR? You're going to let her lie like a rug to your face TOMORROW, to go after YOU, and you're going to STILL have your teeth sunk down into Michelle Wolf's ankle like a shark
Hit dogs holler, and I hope that those of you who are complicit, corporate media dogs STAY HIT and very UNCOMFORTABLE FOR A GOOD LONG TIME
