    If you really think all these people are reading what you post then you should strive to make the most respectable posts possible. Insulting people doesn't win them over. Insults only work for hateful Trump fans when somebody supports their prejudged stereotypes, something like 30% of the nation.

    There is no point in talking to hateful people who only come to a chat room to unload their frustrations on others. They are not here to listen.

    You have a great knack for digging up pertinent information, making excellent political points. Just go with that. That is your strong suit, your gift.

    Stop feeding the trolls. The more you engage with them, the more they post.

    If nobody ever even acknowledged they post, their volume would drop to a minimum.

    The wise thing to do is simply place all of those nasty posters on Ignore and forget they even exist.

    Some people, you just need to stay away from.

    Just like you don't stir up a bees nest and you don't poke a bear. Just stay away. Keep your distance.

    Let them become marginalized.

    Don't feed the trolls.

    Nothing good comes from it.

    to keep people listening you have to make it entertaining



    plus


    when a society has a set of people who refuse fact and spew nonstop lies


    It is incumbent on that society to publicly shame those people until they accept facts or shut up



    pretending people don't speak the way I speak here is insanity





    Do you know any people under 60?


    words are for communication


    I use all of them


    even the ones some people find scary

    There is a reason people don't talk like Lenny Bruce in polite company.

    And it is not permitted on the floors of Congress where our nation's business is conducted.

    Nor in the courts. Anyone who argued like that would be found in contempt of most courts, including the SCOTUS.

    And it is not appropriate in the Executive either. Any executive who tried to act like that would be resoundingly criticized for behaving in a manner beneath the dignity of the office.

    Trump is often accused of behaving in a manner beneath the dignity of the office. Adding crude insults to good points is arguing in a manner beneath the dignity of those good points. It detracts from them.

    And you would not hear that from a major media professional in a story presented by the 4th estate. It is inappropriate.

    When we are talking about politics, we are talking about the actions of all these branches of government.

    There is no need to offend the decorum in order to make a good point.

    You make good points and then you trash them with cheap insults.

    That's not entertaining. It is a big turn-off for a lot of people.

    I bet more people read my posts than yours


    Im funny

    I think invective is funny


    so do many people who discuss politics


    people in this nation under 60 use the same level of invective that I do every day


    Its who the people are


    I talk to the real people in the same way they talk


    I make it entertaining


    its why John Stewart, SNL and the likes of Colbert get and got listened to


    YOU WILL NEVER CONVINCE ME TO NOT CUSS


    give it up

    we are different


    I get through to more people than you do

    don't be jelly

    Some of us here think you are plum bat-shit crazy, but I agree with you. Your posts are probably more read the PoliBabbles.
