1. K & R

I stand with Chelsea with thinking that this is "uncivil". Actually I will go so far as to say it is indicative of the cruelty of this administration. Cruelty vs uncivil. Hmmm. Guess which one is the worst in my book!

[TNNurse]

3. Yes cruel is considerably worse than uncivil,

they are guilty of both.

[TNNurse]

2. This made me want to cry in anger.

People laughed at this horrible man and his disgusting words.

4. I heard this first thing this morning.

Guess I need to figure out another way to start my day. A news junkie for years, but it is just too damn depressing now.

[Ilsa]

6. I went through that feeling yesterday.

It is soul-wrenching stuff. So, I laid off the news for the evening except for Rachel Maddow. I even had to bounce out the Lawrence O'Donnell's show, because he can be really intense. I just needed a break from hearing about how Odious Orange is destroying our democracy, and how much help he's getting from trumpers.

9. I have been feeling like that more and more lately. Every time I check in here or any other news

outlet/political blog, I get so upset I can feel it physically. I actually start to feel sick - nauseated, heart racing, muscle tension, headache. This can't be good for us.

It's the unfairness and grotesque evil of it all combined with a sense of powerlessness on our part that makes it so hard to bear. That, and there is so little good news coming our way. It just seems like a neverending uphill battle and it's so tiring.

I try to watch old movies and go on comedy sites, but all I have to do is hear about another Trump atrocity and it feels like a punch in the stomach. I can believe such stupid, horrible, evil people are coming out ahead.

14. Did you write this before the Kennedy announcement?

Now I'm shocked back into feeling it today. I shouldn't be surprised; a bunch of the justices are getting old. I'm glad it is him and not Notorious RBG.

[smirkymonkey]

15. Yes, I'm at work and just found out about the Kennedy announcement now.

I feel so drained and disheartened sometimes. This must be what it is like to be in an abusive relationship. You just gradually get worn down until you have no fight left in you.

5. Trump, Miller, Sessions, et al exhibit a breathtaking streak of perverse and sadistic behaviors.

These ghouls represent the very essence of the regimes and behaviors of the Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Pol Pot and Un dictatorships. The sooner they are removed by any means necessary, the better.

7. having been the target of ridicule AS A CHILD

The "White House dog" joke in Rush Limbaugh's old TV show, she surely knows incivility.

[NewJeffCT]

8. Didn't Rush Limbaugh once call Chelsea Clinton

The president's dog?

[gratuitous]

10. Where is the Civility Chorus for Sessions?

They were all out there for days on end about Robert DeNiro saying a swear or when Sarah got 86ed. Anything about Sessions? Anything about the crowd that yukked it up with him? Hello? You guys on a break all of a sudden?

11. on a totally idistracting note--WHY does that still look like jeffie is either sticking his tongue

out, or holding something in his mouth?

12. I woke up this morning feeling so sad because of the plight of the immigrant children.

How can any human being not feel their pain?

I remember visiting my grandmother when I was very young. She was loving and aware of how difficult it was for me to be away from my mother.

I also had to go to a hospital for scarlet fever back then. I remember a nurse trying to get me to take medicine by telling me it was a "cracker," and then my tasting it and being sickened. I felt so angry at having been deceived. I will never, ever forget. I must have been two. Later, people told me I could not possibly remember that because I was too young. But I did, and I do because the situation was just so traumatic. I was sick and away from my mother.

Human children, human babies, need their mothers and fathers around them for a long time. It is a price we pay for the kind of intelligence with which we are born. It is a price we pay for being born aware of our souls.

To think of being tricked out of your mother's arms after that long journey from "home" to America -- an unknown language, an unknown culture, cold and heartless compared to your parents arms, compared to the sounds of their voices.

The people, the American leadership, that perpetrated these crimes toward little children, these kidnapping, these abductions, should have to answer for the unnecessary pain they have caused.

They are assuming that because these refugees did not know the rules, did not know precisely where they should legally enter the country, did not understand our laws, that they were disregarding and breaking our laws. Wrong! And cruelly and intentionally wrong, I am guessing.

What monsters. Just monsters.

How could they do what they did?

Vote them out as soon as possible.

13. I agree with Sessions 100% !! Oh, wait...

You mean he wasn't talking about the G.T.P (Grand Trump Party, formerly known as the GOP)?

I thought he was talking about FOX and Limbaugh and SHS and the Orange Shitgibbon in the White House and Alex Jones, and the like. And the neo-Nazis who threw shit on the Red Hen Restaurant after the politely declined to serve a member of th Trump Administration.

[Cha]

16. Yeah, did the civility police have anything to say

about that?
