The point was that the political parties attack the opponent and defend their side. Republicans would say Clinton was scum and Trump is wonderful. Partisanship dictates reality.

Yes. And conservatives are intolerant because they don't tolerate liberal intolerance.
My post should have said tolerance, support for civil liberties and civil rights is correlated with education and not income (although income and education are also correlated).
I’ll repeat. I never gave a damn that either Clinton or Trump fucked everything that walked. I look for competency in the President. Clinton provided that. The depth of Trump’s incompetence is immeasurable.
No, Romney. I'm an economic conservative. But I saw little difference between Bush and Obama and probably Romney in terms of actual policy.
But liberals are intolerant of Conservative intolerance.
These are the same thing?
Liberals wouldn't be intolerant if Conservatives weren't. So it's really a Conservative problem with intolerance, not a "both sides" thing.
OK, but it's not liberals who are intolerant of civil liberties and civil rights; it's Conservatives who are. So liberals are intolerant of Conservatives because they're intolerant of civil rights and liberties.
Well Obamacare is essentially Romneycare at the federal level.
But there were pretty stark differences in policy between Romney and Obama. For instance, Romney was all about cutting taxes and regulations (same Conservative tropes as always), and Obama wanted to raise taxes on the rich and corporations, and impose regulations to protect the environment and consumers.

Having lived in the Bay Area and San Francisco for over 30 years I can tell you all about liberal intolerance. (By stating that I'm not defending conservative intolerance.) But this idea that liberals are the tolerant ones is a very self serving statement. Each "side" is tolerant to what they support.
I'm sure his opponents would like to see him impeached, but they would like him impeached for anything. But I think the purpose of the probe was to investigate Russian meddling and possible collusion in the campaign (and "other matters")
Posters have been predicting Trump's ouster since he was elected. First, he wasn't supposed to last the first year. Now, every development (ostrich sports coats) is the "end."
How so? How were you a victim or what did you see that makes you think this?
So in your mind, being intolerant of gays is the same thing as being intolerant of someone who's intolerant of gays?
We're not the ones who fly the "family values" banner. That's y'all who do that.
No, you could equally say "conservatives wouldn't be intolerant if liberals weren't"
Both sides are intolerant. They are not just intolerant of the intolerance on the other side. For example, the PC liberals on college campuses are intolerant of free speech they oppose even when it does not involve intolerance.

How so? Try to have a conservative speaker speak at a Bay Area university. Tell people here you go to church. Let a group find out you hold any conservative political positions. Tell a group you didn't go to college. There are many examples.
San Francisco is a great city but this idea that we are so open minded and tolerant is on a very relevant basis.
So in your mind, being intolerant of gay people is the same thing as being intolerant of people who are intolerant of gays?
That’s right. It changes the scenario when that “personal life” entails efforts to deny common civil rights.

Free speech about what? Intolerance. So liberals are intolerant of intolerant speech. So again, how is that the same thing as being intolerant of Muslims?
Click bait.
In neither link did any mob of politicians or media mob call for impeachment. Not even Pence.
Bubba WAS finally impeached though for the lie under oath.
You want presidents impeached for PAST immoral behavior? LOL...hypocrite. Get over your perfect self.
