    OK, lets start at the top.

    What's wrong with saying he wants to make the U.S.of A. the greatest country on earth? You think it's not? I do.

    Scant minority? Should I again have to remind you he won the election? Take out two large cities who vote overwhelmingly Dem, those 3 million votes you claim he lost by become void.

    Economy? Of course businesses are afraid of a Dem, they reign in taxes and restrictions which hinder job promotion. If he were bad for the economy, why is the unemployment the lowest in 50 years?

    Charlottesville disaster? Who was it that started (and continued with it) all the violence?

    Bad people? Sheesh! Again, we read your (and other's) posts. Reichwing? Trumptards?

    Divisiveness? Who cancelled classes after the election? Who needed coloring books,
    Play-doh, crying towels and therapy pets to "alleviate" your anxieties from losing?
    Again, we read your (and other's) posts. We see the incessant hatred and witch-
    hunts from (the assholes in) the House and the relentless disrespect and accusations.

    None of this shit happened after Obama was elected...twice. We just put our "tails
    between our legs" and kept on living our lives. Why can't you? Why all the hatred?
    Yeah, we disagreed with his policies, but not to the extreme you Dems are, not anywhere close.

    I'd say we should quit this discussion out of respect for EE and the hopes this thread doesn't get derailed.

    America was great when Twittler showed up on our WH steps. We will still be great when we get rid of him.

    Scant minority? Should I again have to remind you he won the election? Take out two large cities who vote overwhelmingly Dem, those 3 million votes you claim he lost by become void.
    He lost by 3 million votes. He played the EC game well. Well, *he* didn't. His handlers did.

    Economy? Of course businesses are afraid of a Dem, they reign in taxes and restrictions which hinder job promotion. If he were bad for the economy, why is the unemployment the lowest in 50 years?
    There was no claim that he's bad for the economy. I stated that he hasn't done anything for it other than come with an (R) after his name. He's been very, very good for you if you're in the 1% though.

    Charlottesville disaster? Who was it that started (and continued with it) all the violence?
    White supremacists showed up to show their Nazi asses. Decent American citizens who don't want Nazis marching around showed up to counter protest. I bet if they were still able to, ppl of your dad's generation would have showed up to counter protest too. I seem to recall them doing a great job kicking Nazi ass in the middle of the last century.

    Divisiveness? Who cancelled classes after the election? Who needed coloring books,
    Play-doh, crying towels and therapy pets to "alleviate" your anxieties from losing?

    I'm not really sure what all this is about. The only ppl I've ever heard talk about coloring books, crying towels, and canceling classes is the Reichwing. The rest of us got on with life. We didn't staple tea bags to our hats and march around crying and sobbing that the liberal black Kenyan Marxist Muslim commie guy was going to destroy the country, while we waved our bang-bang sticks, and held up signs that said "We came unarmed, this time."

    None of this shit happened after Obama was elected...twice. We just put our "tails
    between our legs" and kept on living our lives. Why can't you? Why all the hatred?
    Yeah, we disagreed with his policies, but not to the extreme you Dems are, not anywhere close.
    As always, you mistake disgust and abhorrence of Trump's loathsome,criminal, and crude behaviors as "hate." It is not. If you (group you) don't also hate bullying, lying, schmoozing up to murderous dictators, selling out our allies, and so on -- the problem lies with you. (group you). As for Obama, he's not president any more. When he was, he did not behave in criminal, treasonous ways. You guys accused him of all kinds of nefarious shit but nothing -- *nothing* -- ever rose to the level that Trump has managed to obtain.

    "During Barack Obama's tenure as President of the United States from 2009 to 2017, certain Republican members of Congress, as well as Democratic congressman Dennis Kucinich, stated that Obama had engaged in impeachable activity and that he might face attempts to remove him from office. Rationales offered for possible impeachment included false claims that Obama was born outside the United States, that he allegedly allowed people to use bathrooms based on their gender identity, an alleged White House cover-up after the 2012 Benghazi attack, and failure to enforce immigration laws. No list of articles of impeachment was ever drawn up and proposed to the Judiciary Committee.

    "Multiple surveys of U.S. public opinion found that the clear majority of Americans rejected the idea of impeaching Obama, while a majority of Republicans were in favor; for example, CNN found in July 2014 that 57% of Republicans supported these efforts while about two thirds of adult Americans in general disagreed with them." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effort...h_Barack_Obama)

    If you don't want your president impeached, don't vote for or support one with a decades-long history of corruption, dishonesty, law-breaking, and fraud. You (R)s are butthurt that Obama didn't offer you the chance to impeach him. What about the last (D) POTUS before him -- remember that? You guys started the investigations the day Clinton was sworn in. Talk about ppl who don't want to accept the election results!

    Good morning folks. Let me thank all the political discussion participants. You almost proved that we can have a rational civil discussion of politics without it becoming a flame war. But the last post was rapidly sliding in that direction. So at this point let's end the discussion and allow feelings to cool down.

    As I said, that was my last post on this topic here.
    I will gladly continue it in another thread if you'd start one, and with NO BANS, as
    it will not be like a previous forum where the hatred of America was overwhelming.
    I will check in later, time permitting, as I have things to do today.
