    You've made this Forum a cherished habit, and it's just fabulous to have this outlet and to see your comments.

    During Social Distancing, this Forum represents more social contact than I'm getting elsewhere, so it is especially appreciated now.

    I do try to make it a point to call people up, so I get to interface socially that way, but this is so easy, I do this more than calling people.

    And it's great, thanks to you, and I appreciate it.
    I commend you for practicing impeccable social etiquette and contributing to civil discourse.

    I admire that.

    But, sometimes, and this is one of them, you have to fight fire with fire.

    Last night, Nancy Pelosi was on the "The Final Word" on MsNBC and said that DOnald Trump and his minions have Doggy Doo on the soles of their shoes. That was about the most eloquent way to tell the truth and not use profanity at the same time.

    Me! I'm not afraid to tell it like it is in words that these Trumptards well understand.

    If it smells like SHIT- and it Stinks like SHIT- and it looks like SHIT- IT IS SHIT!

    And Donald Trump and his Trumptards are not just wearing SHIT on their Shoes- THEY ARE LITERALLY SWIMMING AND DROWNING IN SHIT!

    Sorry, but someone has to tell the whole truth- and nothing but the truth! SO HELP ME GOD!
    Well, however you wish to express yourself is of your concern. And agree with the sentiment of your post.

    Thanks. I'm glad to contribute what I can to the Forum. I know that the Forum is what WE make it.

    After all, a forum is nothing without the posters.

    I have recently had to place a few newcomers on Ignore.

    I won't be reading anything they have to post anymore, but I can just imagine them telling themselves that I did that because of a disagreement over a political issue, or in general. But here's the deal: People telling themselves something they wish to believe - does not make a false thing true.

    I have perfectly cordial conversations with supporters of the president, and I disagree with them most of the time. In a polite way. The difference is that some people are able to understand and allow others to hold opposing views without attacking one another personally. Anybody who might be fooling them self over why I place people on Ignore - that's all that's going on. Self-fooling.

    I have no doubt that this is not confined to one person. Plenty of people do this. The worst individual at self-delusion right now is president. It is only logical that these people talk, and share their views. They are entitled to their view. But saying false things does not make them true. Never did, never will. Even if it is more than one person telling one another something they wish to be true. Even THAT doesn't make it what they want it to be, if it is false.

    And we need to vote that nonsense out through early Mail-In Voting by November 3rd!

    You cry like a damn baby who just shit itself. You have everyone who you disagree with on ignore. Your list has to be longer than Legion's ban list. Why don't you just go away?
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    This is not about the civility of others, this is about your own desperation to sanitize your experience, which is not what you would do if you were open to learning.

    I say what I think and I am constantly accused of "isms" due to the heterodoxy of my mind.... surely I will have the honor of being on your list of "them who must be avoided" soon.
    This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.

    There is little more pathetic than someone who has been Ignored - pretending to be in conversation with someone who refuses to talk to them.

    Pathetic and sad. To think that such an individual is reduced to trolling to get attention. And then they don't even get it.

    Talk about 'Not getting it!'

    A word to the wise:

    If you wish to be a part of a discussion, it is not a good idea to insult someone you would like a response from.

    The only people who will continue to reply to you after you have unloaded verbal abuse on them are enablers in a dysfunctional relationship.

    Most people want no part of that, which is why most people want no part of online forum discussions.

    It takes a definite amount of fortitude to navigate a discussion forum in which there is little moderation.

    That and a diligence with common sense values and the Ignore feature.

    You go to right-wing troll discussions and go after the leftists like they are the ones trolling. Maybe you should listen to yourself and not be so sensitive.

    I actually thought Nancy's use of the term Doggy-Doo was the most graceful way to say, that Trump and his Administration are going to leave a trail of shit wherever they go as long as they shall live!

    If it smells like SHIT and looks like SHIT- It's SHIT!

    And you are the idiot for eating the peanuts right out of Donald Trump's SHIT!
