Are you under the impression that all the republicans here, do nothing but excuse his behavior? Not sure what you are seeing that makes you think that we're all a bunch of Trump apologists.
As to the violence, the rhetoric had been disgusting on both sides for a long time, since Bush was in office. And regardless of what you obviously think, it's a lot more common on the left. Sure, Trump is an azz who says a ton of inappropriate things. And there are others on the right who do so. But it's not systemic like it is on the left. Watch Foxnews at 8:00 PM, and you'll see a show where the host says all the time, that liberals make good points. He says it ten times a night, Watch CNN or MSNBC at 8:00, and all you'll here is how racist, sexist, and homophobic we all are.
The entire liberal platform at the moment, is that Republicans are evil. That's all they have. You are desperately trying to make the case that we're all Trump. I'll talk about the issues all day long, I don't need to descend into character assassination. Because I am confident that I'm on the right side of the issues, and I can explain why.

A very big part of the Anger we see today in our society is caused by the purposely false and inaccurate reporting of the Mainstream Media that I refer to as Fake News. It has gotten so bad and hateful that it is beyond description. Mainstream Media must clean up its act, FAST!
4:18 AM - 25 Oct 2018
Now I could post hours of Trump Rallies where he does incite violence but you admit that his behavior is kind of bad
If he truly wants to solve the problem, he has to admit he is part of it.
Presidents have done it before, in fact when JFK did it after the Bay of Pigs his approval ratings soared
It is part of being a leader
The buck stops here
The captain taking responsibility for his ship
The problem is that Don the Con has only one method, unless he reads from a teleprompter and it shows everytime.
He's a bully.

PaulS 10-25-2018, 08:50 AM So it is the Democratic platform that the Republicans are evil yet it is our Repub.pres. who uses that type of language to refer to the Press and to democrats. You have people on the right who are saying this is a plot by the Clintons. When Gabby Giffords got shot it was the fault of the deranged person who did it. When Steve scalise got shot it was the fault of the Democrats and their rhetoric. now when bombs are being sent to every prominent person who speaks out against Trump it is the fault of only that deranged individual. It is tough to keep it all straight

"So it is the Democratic platform that the Republicans are evil"
Yes. Remember the deplorables comment? Or Obama calling us bitter clingers who dislike people who don't look like us? Or when Obama said that Republicans hate everybody? That's about as bad as most of what Trump says. But you don't complain when democrats do it.
"You have people on the right "
For the millionth time, I'm not saying there aren't kooks on the right, of course there are. I'm saying the kooks are extremists on my side, whereas the kooks are mainstream on your side. Compare Paul Ryan to Nancy Pelosi? Compare Chuck Schumer to Mitch McConnell? Who are the truly moderate democrats? There aren't many anymore, because the party has become the party of George Soros, not the party of Bill Clinton. Where are the moderates liberals in Congress, or on TV? There aren't many. Where are the liberal equivalents of Lindsay Graham and John McCain? They no longer exist.
Pointing to a radical individual, doesn't make me wrong. I'm talking about what the "typical" conservative looks like, compared to the "typical" liberal. At the federal level, the democratic party is a million miles further to the left, than the GOP is to the right. Conservatives are constantly frustrated by Ryan, McConnell, and to a lesser extent Trump.
No comparison. None.

Then I'll make it easy for you. There are jerks and maniacs on both sides. There are extremists on both sides. There aren't a meaningful number of thoughtful moderates on both sides, the moderates, from what I can tell, are almost all in the GOP.
Who in the democratic senate is as friendly with the GOP, as McCain and Graham are with the left? Manchin might vote with the GOP occasionally at election time, but that's it.
You don't judge either side by the actions of a tiny number of lunatics who don't speak for anyone else.. You judge them by what's considered "mainstream" on each side. So compare Paul Ryan to Nancy Pelosi, and that makes my point. Just compare the leadership of the house on both sides, that illustrates my point.

None of that is remotely close to the constant garbage that comes out of president Trumps mouth. Somehow with you there is a moral equivalency when a Dem. says something once ( and then apologizes) and when a Rep. repeatedly says something much worse 100s of times.

No comparison. None. the biggest kook of them all is the president of the United States and last I remember he was Republican.
His approval rating among Repub. is extremely high so obviously most Republicans think the same him
There is no comparison bt the Rights rally's and the Democratic rally's. The lock em up chants for people who have done nothing wrong shows what sorry people Trump supporters have turned into. And callling Democrats treasonous is ridiculous. If you think today's Republican Party is the same as Nixon or even Reagan's you're living in a fantasy world.

HERE'S WHAT YOU FORGOT TO MENTION.
When Trump acts like a jerk, which is often, huge numbers of influential republicans call him out. That doesn't happen on the left. Not nearly to the same extent. Charles Kraithammer was probably the single most influential conservative pundit, and he despised Trump.
The left acted like this when Bush was president, and they never stopped the personal attacks on McCain or Romney. So let's drop the nonsense that Trump is causing all this. The left first embraced insane personal attacks when Bush was president, and they haven't stopped since. When you are wrong on the facts and results and empirical evidence and common sense, you throw bombs. . When you are backed into a corner, this is what you do.

What you claim is incorrect, 20% of the democrats vote with Trump positions more than 40% of the time
Do you expect them to agree 100%, only three republicans have done that and one of those he made Attorney General

We won't see a change in the political landscape until we have term and money limits for Congress.
Too many people have too much power and money is influencing them.
Both sides are complicit and it is to their advantage to keep everyone distracted with all the things you have to be afraid of.
There has been bipartisan support for Term limits and spending limits for years, but it has to be done on the state level, since it requires an amendment to the Constitution.
Get to work if it's important to you.

When Bill Clinton was the President, we ignored his behavior and focused on the results. With Trump, we are supposed to ignore the results and focus on the behavior.
Funny, the liberal concern about the personal morals of the POTUS, is quite selective. Which means it's fake.

Hey, you might be correct
The left has a long ways to go to catch up with the right or Islamists.
The chance of being murdered in a Nationalist or Right Wing terrorist attack was 1 in 33 million per year.
The annual chance of being murdered by a Left Wing terrorist was about 1 in 330 million per year.
The chance of being murdered in a terrorist attack committed by an Islamist during this period was about 1 in 2.5 million per year

The civility police might point out that many conservatives hated Obama just as much, but that only demonstrates the limits of content-neutral analysis. The right’s revulsion against a black president targeted by birther conspiracy theories is not the same as the left’s revulsion against a racist president who spread birther conspiracy theories.
I'm not talking about the terrorists on either side, I am talking about the mainstream people on either side.
The other problem with your argument for civility, when it’s taken as far as prohibiting moral condemnation of politicians, is that it empowers defenders of the status quo while neutering critics.
There are two basic forms of political argument. Either you defend a specific policy as the rational, logical option in the circumstances that exist, or you question the rules of the game. People on the political right are prone to presenting things such as spending cuts as morally neutral decisions, determined by economic reality. Leftwing criticism commonly argues that logic presented as natural is really no such thing, but rather that it’s a question of priorities. Political priorities are, unavoidably, a moral issue.

when you ask me to specify a single left wing riot, meaning you can’t think of any, you lose the ability to be taken seriously. look at what happens every time a conservative tried to speak on a college campus, everything antifa does, look at the people

Nice...:love:
As far as Pete's claim.
At one point I had read that he was on pace to be the highest. As of the first year or so, he had more than Obama at the same point.
His point remains valid though; he has been largely ineffective at working with congress as the great negotiator to get much through with the GOP controlling (I know not with the 60 vote majority) both houses. He beat on Obama for this on the trail and through twitter as being ineffective because Obama needed to use EO's.
If the GOP looses the house he will be reduced entirely to twitter rants and Executive orders however.

he is on pace for about 200 (50 per year) in his term, he is currently at 85. Jimmy Carter was a 1 term president and he had 320 (80 per year)

i’ll ask again, who are the moderate
democrats at the national level? Nancy Pelosi? Spartacus Booker? Lie-awatha? compare them to Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell and John McCain and Lindsay Graham? Please.
Trump is an idiot. There is a lot more to the GOP than him. In fact, if it wasn’t for kooky and uncivilized liberals, he never would
have won the nomination, not ever. He was nominated specifically, to out-sleaze the liberals. Stunning that you don’t see that. Ifnthe legt could have been fair ( not fawning all over, just fair) to McCain it Romney, there would be no president Trump. Kind of funny when you think of it that way, eh?
as to the debt, john and i have both saidnits a huge issue, so zero hypocrisy. did you complain if debt during the obama years? i bet not.

To claim that college students, those uppity black people, a representative or anyone else has the power that Trump wields in the media is absurd
You poor victim
We will be reaping what he has sown for a generation
These asassination attempts have no precedent, meanwhile Trump’s rallies continue chanting threats, to his grinning approval

To claim that college students, those uppity black people, a representative or anyone else has the power that Trump wields in the media is absurd
You poor victim
We will be reaping what he has sown for a generation
These asassination attempts have no precedent, meanwhile Trump’s rallies continue chanting threats, to his grinning approval
You’re complicit in this
Sad

"The civility police might point out that many conservatives hated Obama just as much" They might point that out, and it would be laughably wrong. We disliked Obama's policies, and we disliked the way he whined about Foxnews (sort of how Trump whines about CNN), the way he hated conservatives. But we didn't endlessly obsess about everything Obama did, or every syllable he spoke.
"The right’s revulsion against a black president "
Ahh. Not that he was a radical, inexperienced politician whose wife hated this country, and whose spiritual mentor hated this country. It was because he was black. Im a guy who literally prays that Condaleeza Rice runs, but I'm an anti-black racist because I thought Obama was an arrogant, clueless horses azz, who never met an abortion he didn't think was swell, and who trampled on the rights of Christians again and again. Nope, it was all because of his skin color.
Right there, in that stupid, demonstrably false accusation, we see your desperation and small mindedness. You proved my point better than I ever could.

This is stupid gibberish. It's as if you are drunk when you write this junk.

You keep repeating this race baiting crap. Again as if wallowing in the sloppy, self righteous certainty of a drunken stupor.
No one comes close to how Trump has split this country
This is the height of uncorroborated hearsay. This doesn't come close to being true. It is the kind of purely vicious hate that helps to split this country.
To claim that college students, those uppity black people, a representative or anyone else has the power that Trump wields in the media is absurd
This is an absurdly ignorant rant that sounds like the incoherent rambling of someone in the grip of potent weed. You're so far out of the realm of sober, intelligent thought that you not only have visions of race in every nook and cranny, you actually see Trump wielding power in the media. The mainstream leftist media is unbridled in its attacks on Trump. In what smoky field of contact high are you discerning this power that Trump wields in the media? Do you mean twitter? The media is stupid enough to print what he twitter's. That's his power? The media's stupidity is the power he wields?
You poor victim

This reeks of the lamentations of a defeated, staggering, homeless man flailing at invisible bogymen with one hand while the other is tilting the brown bagged bottle of Boone's Farm into his begging mouth.

Trump is a genius at one thing only, at driving his opponents to madness. all you people do, is fret and obsess over everything he says and does. Trump just drank a glass of water! You know who else drank water? Hitler, that’s who!!
you and pete claim mybside is thoughtless, yet i bash trump and give obama credit all the time. you are the ones who can’t admit trump has done anything good, or admit that obama or hilary did anything bad. So who is being thoughtless, exactly?
he called me a racist twice in one post. do you wonder why you have almost no chance of picking up two senate seats?

Did I say you are a racist
I certainly think some Trumplicans are, and you typically espouse the party line.
You’re the most tribal writer on here
Anything said about Trump or his party brings an attack, perhaps it is because your identity is so closely tied to your political beliefs.

Thank You Pete,for once again showing you are incapable of independent thoughts. You make veiled accusations and retreat under the guise of semantics. Very brave you are,ha. I can probably point to dozens of posts where Jim calls Trump a jerk or something less than flattering. The amount of times I have seen you criticize the Democratic Party is stuck at zero. Blind partisanship, plain and simple.

"Did I say you are a racist "
You said resistance to Obama was based on skin color. Pretty sure that's the textbook definition of racism. Hi spolicies were guaranteed to offend everyone to the right of Castro.
"You’re the most tribal writer on here "
The hell I am. I bash Trump all the time. I give Obama credit all the time for the economy and terrorism. I wholeheartedly support gay marriage and oppose the death penalty, and I think conservatives are too rabidly opposed to gun control. And I think people born sick should get free healthcare to cover conditions they have been born with. You tell me, on what major issues do you disagree with the liberal platform? When you have you posted anything that wasn't completely in support of liberalism?

Very, very thinly veiled accusations.
It was a very cowardly dodge.
Pete F. 10-26-2018, 08:08 AM It’s quite comical who you think I am, since I’ve voted pretty straight party line for most of my 60+ years until the last election
The change I see in the Republican Party since the Tea Party takeover is horrific and it needs to lose
Until Trump I was a Republican

Those are contradictory statements. Is it the tea party that drove you away, or Trump?

You're trying to have a conversation with an intellectual drunk who can't quite put his finger on exactly the what and how is, but floats generalized ideas explained by unverified labels.

Trump took the Tea Party rhetoric and did a much better job of playing on the fears of people.
Now the Republican party is repeating the mistakes of the Goldwater era.
Those mistakes brought, in the next few terms, all the progressive evils that conservatives now rail about.
Few Americans have all extreme views, left or right, which is why things always come back towards the center.
