Then do you know what the left should do? Try to have a real conversation about these things. Stop with the over-the-top "lecturing" and cartoonish behavior that turns everybody else off. If you really think there are adult issues to discuss, then prove that you're an adult and discuss, debate, acknowledge areas where your argument may not be as strong, and then hammer home the points you can win on.
I know, I know, you're going to make this about the election and how we had adult choices. Right...
You are actually making Pepper's point here. Can you discuss the issues without calling your opposition "moron, unintelligent, narcissistic, and elitist,?" None of those words mean "wrong." If you want to have that adult conversation on issues, lay off the insults and stick to the issues. If you are right, the insults will write themselves. When you start with the insults, your opinion is immediately pigeonholed as partisan and not taken seriously.If you feel lectured than you have extreme selective memory- and who is bringing up the election?
Trump is a moron and is being treated, in general, exactly how a lying, unintelligent, narcissistic, elitist would always be treated. Even his Sec of State, who ran Exxon is in favor of the climate accord. However, it seems that Trump fans will accept every idiotic thing he does. He is going out of his way to antagonize and push away America's strongest allies and for what? Because he promised coal miners and frackers and the rest of his base..

I know this is the internet and name calling and outrageous posts are what get liked and replied to. No issue is as black and white as can be fully fleshed out in a message board post, let alone a tweet. In the age of the 15 second attention span and "TL;DR," in-depth discussion is all but gone. Like it or not, this country electing Donald Trump is a symptom of that.

Well, I was referring to using those insults in general, and since you wrote them, they didn't have a chance to write themselves.If you are referring to my calling another poster those names than you are off base. The insults are and have been writing themselves. this thread was started about Kathy Griffin who is the definition of irrelevant.
What is relevant are the real life decisions and actions that the president Is making. He is working hard to alienate the strongest US allies while continually sidling up to and sympathizing with dictators. I am against the US pulling out of the Paris accord. Hopefully Trump will do something thoughtful and keep the US involved.

And you are right when you say what matters is the real life decisions and actions the president is making. What doesn't matter, and what is not helpful to the discussion is calling him a moron, or a nazi, or a misogynist, or a racist, or homophobic, or islamophibic, or any of the other things that muddy the waters of rational discourse.
If you notice, nowhere in my post did I say I disagreed with you. Nowhere in my post did I defend President Trump. I didn't deny he was any of the things you said he was. Is he siding up with dictators? Yep, but so did every President we've ever had, including the last one. Politics makes strange bedfellows. What I care about is the wellbeing of the people of this country. Our president's job is to do what is best for us. That's what he is hired to do.
We can have a discussion on the merits of the Paris Accord in another thread, but not now as I have to get some work done.
McLovin, President Trump thanks you for your support. ;-P
(Btw, DrVenkman, you may want to brush up on the whole then/than thing)
Could be one of the dumbest post ever.I think it is learned behavior from seeing pictures of past presidents with nooses around their necks and worse.
Now if they get her partner the drunken one gone I will be happy.She's been fired from CNN's new year's eve show. Solid move by CNN.
Yes, you are undoubtedly, the dumbest poster ever!Could be one of the dumbest post ever.
it would be reported that way if she was a conDoes one "celebrity" speak or reflect on a whole political party??
Think Barron actually saw the picture, or do you think Don is just shamelessly using his offspring?
Which famous personality employed by a major network created those caricatures?
Did she use the leftover blood to dye her hair?
Who cares JFC that was a stupid statement.Think Barron actually saw the picture, or do you think Don is just shamelessly using his offspring?
If it was just one. It's become a parade, starting with Colbert.
Whoa man! Put a NSFW spolier tag next time. That's a frightening video, and I didn't even have my sound on.
