Will you join him calling us human scum

[oxmixmudd]

I'm actually a little surprised Ox went that route.

you too? Try reading a little closer. I never said either was OK. I said what Trump did was significantly worse that what Hillary did.

Think Trinity vs Tsar Bomba

Neither is trivial. but they are not by any means 'equal'

Jim

How? Because you said so?

[Cow Poke]

you too?

A little surprised? Yes, if that qualifies for a "you too"?

You mean THESE words, Jim?

Whatever Hillary is, her actions and words have never produced the kind of division and unrest that Trump is creating. Even in Bill Clinton's impeachment, things never got this bad. If it's this bad now under the threat of impeachment, just wait till the actual impeachment starts.

The Democrats started freaking out the minute it became clear that Trump won. It is a WHOLE 'NUTHER WORLD now than it was in Bill Clinton's day? You realize, don't you, that was 17 years ago? Since then, Obama has added to his share of division, and now Trump.

[lilpixieofterror]

No - that's not what I said. But I'm not surprised that is what you got out of what I said.

You equate either of those with a president calling people "human scum"?

I think that gives folks a pretty good baseline read on you without much further effort.

And, my oh my, do I recall folks here reacting to both those statements by Obama and Clinton. They certainly were not shrugged off.

I see, so you want Trump tarred and feathered for behavior that you think is acceptable when Obama and Hillary did it. Thank you for confirming my suspicions.

And as I recall, conservatives weren't up in arms about either Obama's or Hillary's comments. People thought it was funny and even started proudly referring to themselves as "Bitter Clingers" and "Deplorables".

I'm not surprised at all. That's exactly the sort of double-standard I've come to expect from him.

I am registered Republican. I would probably never vote for Trump (though before the Republicans were stupid enough to nominate him I had said that about Hillary- so I suppose I might if something clearly worse came along)

This is what the sitting president said about people like me yesterday:

"The Never Trumper Republicans, though on respirators with not many left, are in certain ways worse and more dangerous for our Country than the Do Nothing Democrats. Watch out for them, they are human scum!" he tweeted.

So, who here will follow him here? Who will draw the line here, and who will join him in his call to hatred?

You know I don't like Trump and wouldn't vote for him. However I'm not sure stirring the pot is a great idea. Sometimes its better to walk away and just let the people have the crazy leader.

[Catholicity]

I would've been really happy and probably stayed a registered Republican if Kasich or Bush had won.

I've developed the general rule that only one member of a clan can become President. There are enough people around that we don't need to have repeat offenders.

I didn't call for Trump to be "tarred and feathered", though I see a wide gulf between describing racists, xenophobes, Islamaphobes, etc. as "deplorable" and "disloyal" Republicans as "human scum".

I find Trump's words more vicious, which I think used to be considered a bad thing around here.

That title should be reserved for TWebbers who call call mossy "moosy."

Unless they have a better title already.

So, lemme get this straight --- as long as you FIRST call them "racists, xenophobes, Islamaphobes" THEN you can call them "deplorable" and it's totally acceptable.

(Though, she kinda did that backwards)

Whole lotta people either telling on themselves for being bigoted or telling on themselves for not understanding the group sorting we all learned in Kindergarten here ...

I'm sure that made sense in your head, Sam.
