At least my experience on Blogger hasn't been so venomous (there are people on Blogger who do not share our political views, but they aren't hateful. I'm sure they're out there, though, unfortunately). I'm going to do my best to restrict my interaction on Facebook to just silly things. Twitter less so, but I will still be kinda "whack" there.

You mind giving me your sources? God knows BBC is deep in the democrat pocket, and spare no imagination to bash Trump. I've found al-Jazeera and the Moscow Times FAR more balanced than the BBC.

Actually, the only one I did like didn't even come close to the National stage (And you'd likely be shocked to find he was a Republican. I didn't agree with him on A LOT of things, but I felt he was the balance the country needed). And to your second point, I also agree... but if we are leading by example, there's a reason why a large grouping of monkeys is called a "Congress".Julihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10097214923216967086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-83751339678908672932017-01-16T21:22:55.222-05:002017-01-16T21:22:55.222-05:00I'll just point out two things under the headi...I'll just point out two things under the heading "IMHO". Your third line applies to everyone who took a shot at public office this go-round, I'm afraid. Second, I don't know at this point it CAN be another Republican. Depends on how they support Trump. If they decide to fight him for the sake of fighting- like so many are doing right now- they might just convince MORE people that both parties are has beens.<br /><br />I think it's a shame, though, all the Dems disrespecting the office to spite Trump. Republicans didn't like Obama any better, and a LOT of them made the point of not standing/applauding when the "pregnant pauses" told them to. But, they SHOWED UP. If the Dems are making any point at all in this, it's that they have the luxury of being the bigger a-holes this time around. And next time the POTUS is a Dem, they are going to be so "shocked" and "disgusted" by Republicans taking their cue and doing the same thing. The cycle continues. And that bunch of privileged idiots will keep playing one-up and the country will REALLY be a laughing stock. I think it's time to just settle the hell down and be adults.CWMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798867734074134647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-24759782175748780902017-01-16T20:19:11.298-05:002017-01-16T20:19:11.298-05:00I don't like that Trump is the president elect...I don't like that Trump is the president elect.<br />I don't like his choice of cabinet members, or most of his appointments.<br />I think he's found every loop hole to protect his own interests over the country's.<br /><br />Know what? Trump could care less that I feel that way. That's fact. And I'll get over it, because there's nothing I can do about it.<br /><br />But I do believe you're right, because in the end, nothing will be done over the divide in this country, and some one will be reelected in again, if not Trump, then another republican.Julihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10097214923216967086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-1642699505233044812017-01-16T16:53:32.375-05:002017-01-16T16:53:32.375-05:00Because trust is important, right?Because trust is important, right?CWMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798867734074134647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-81086240078716934412017-01-16T16:53:00.207-05:002017-01-16T16:53:00.207-05:00I thought so...I thought so...CWMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798867734074134647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-73721518997191031842017-01-16T16:10:42.737-05:002017-01-16T16:10:42.737-05:00Damn, laying the smack down here.

Yeah, I think the thing that keeps me out of any of these political arguments is that 99% of them are fueled by nonsense that isn't rooted in any sort of fact. I don't care whether you're left, or right, or in between - if you believe something so passionately that you want others to see the so-called truth, then site logical facts to support your argument, don't just tell us that we need to listen to you because that's what 'you feel'. Feelings are NOT facts.<br /><br />Also, let us please note that these people who want Donald Trump criminally charged with... you know, whatever... are most likely the same people who swear that Hillary Clinton didn't do anything wrong and you all should just, like, leave her e-mails and her foundation alone, you guys.A Beer for the Showerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029139745335325356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-48893317066903051342017-01-16T16:08:42.624-05:002017-01-16T16:08:42.624-05:00Well said!!Well said!!Al Penwasserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14052950809151897315noreply@blogger.com
