  • School-Aged Immaturity

    I find this just unbelievable. On the one hand we have a former vice president of the United States claiming that, if they were in high school, he would take Mr. Trump "behind the gym and beat the hell out of him". Then, our equally immature commander in chief responds with a tweet about how Biden "would go down fast and hard, crying all the way."

    A cannot begin to tell you how anxious I am to see adults returned to the highest offices in the land. Being led by people with less maturity than my High School student is more than a little disconcerting.
    The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King

    I would unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong. Frederick Douglas

    This thread is seriously going to earn you name calling, ridicule, and mud slinging that does along with it.

      Shunybunny, is that mean Mr. Trump triggering you again? Time to go to your safe space...

            Ah, maybe Shuny the Juvie wants to take on the winner of the Trump/Biden bash!

            Shuny, you're acting just as immature as the clowns being mocked!

              I always kind of found Biden amusing for his lack of filter.

                It's hard not to like Uncle Joe - one of my favorite UJ moments was his 'shotgun' advice. Be sure to watch the young ladies who appear to be practicing to follow his advice!

                    Demi has lost about all sympathy for people of your view. Don't you know any history, about past presidents of land of yours??

                    Since you don't like behavior of big Dem and big Rep, sounds good that you're moving to Down under land. Don't complain afterwards that 'aussies even more racist to kids of mine "
                    Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.

                      Demi likes Trump for that. Sad to say, Biden is creep.

                        Yeah Trump is pretty juvenile, but this just shows that so is Biden. Everyone keeps acting like Trump is the only one who is being immature. I think we just didn't pay attention before. They all are. If they are not insulting each other, they are mistreating women or grandstanding for the cameras. Both sides.

                              I don't think "all" is accurate - but that's because I tend to be wary of superlatives (one of the many reasons I find Mr. Trump so abysmal). There are a lot of politicians who do not function this way. Grandstanding is not an issue for me, because it is pretty much what a politician needs to do (in one way or another) to get the attention of the electorate and get/keep office. To expect a politician to do otherwise is doesn't make much sense to me. But not all politicians are mistreating women or insulting one another.

                              I also think my OP was pretty clear that I found Biden's behavior as reprehensible as Trump's. Frankly, the only way I would vote for him is if he is the only option to Trump. I would not vote for him in the primaries.
