Respectful Politics Thread (Let's Just See)

[MuppetsRule]

So, in response to these bombs being sent to Obama, Hillary, CNN, and other top Democratic officials, Melania addresses the situation . . . by talking about how much Donald has been tackling the opioid crisis.

Reminds me of how last year, during one of the many mass shootings that happened, Donald's addressing of the situation was more or less an excuse for him to campaign some more.

So President Trump & Vice President Mike Pence both condemned the pipe bombs being mailed and you focus on Melania Trump's response??? Getting desperate to find things to criticize now?

And for the record, here is Melania Trump's response:

“We cannot tolerate these cowardly attacks, and I strongly condemn all who choose violence,” she said. “I’m grateful to the Secret Service as well as the the local and federal law enforcement for all they do on a daily basis to keep us safe, and encourage people across the country to choose kindness over hatred.”​

I'm not sure what in there is to be criticized. No mention of the opioid crisis.

Here's the link with her response:

Please take the time to visit other websites for your news rather than just the ultra-left wing sites you visit now. The truth is out there.

I agree.

I've been holding my tounge back, and while I personally am not the type to judge one's political views....

Snowth.

Please. Please. PLEASE, as a suggestion, try to look up some more information instead of biased left-wing pages.

Old cartoon I remember finding 2 years ago and still love today.

I'm respectful on what to refer to different races/nationalities, but.... Oh my God, this is one of the realest cartoon pictures I've seen in my life.

This wasn't meant as an attack on D'Snowth. Although I disagree almost 95+% with his views, I do appreciate him voicing them on here. More times than not his points spark me to google what he is talking about. Occasionally what he posts is completely true. Occasionally they are completely wrong. More times than not, what he posts are true but with a VERY definite political slant. That's why I say, the truth is out there. Take the time and seek out an unbiased opinion or news piece. It's getting harder and harder to find one. But at least try to find one that isn't extreme.

Apparently Joe Biden and Robert De Niro have been added to the list of prominent anti-Trump figures who have had suspicious packages addressed to them.

A lot of people jumped to conclusions claiming Trump was directly responsible for the rash of pipe bombs. Without a shred of evidence or knowing who is behind it.
Just like with Kavanaugh, people were quick to find him guilty just because Dr. Ford claimed something happened to her. Something MAY have happened to her, but her testimony had quite a few contradictions in it. But just suggesting Kavanaugh was responsible was sufficient in many people's minds to condemn him. With no tangible proof.

I don't condone violence on either side. Trump shoots his mouth off. But that still does not condone dems inciting the public to harass republicans in public, shouting them down in restaurants, etc.
*** for tat keeps escalating. Both sides are equally culpable. To say it is all on Trump, then all the people who got a package in the mail need to take a good look in the mirror.

Personally I despise Maxine Waters and her rhetoric. But she doesn't deserve to be subject to this fear either.

Since you guys always say I never say anything critical of the Democratic party (even though I have, though as frequently as the Republican party), here's another criticism I'll throw out there about the Democratic party, just to appease the masses: rotten celebrity endorsements.

This is something both parties have problems with, but on entirely different planes. With the Republican party, Kanye aside, most of their celebrity endorsements are from washed-up has-beens whose glory days are long behind them: James Woods, Clint Eastwood, Tim Allen (subjective), Roseanne (subjective), et al.

The Democratic party, on the other hand, let's look at some of their celebrity endorsements. Lena Dunham. This slutty "actress" who campaigned for Hillary in the 2016 election should be feeling the shame of the MeToo Movement, for molesting and sexually assaulting her own sister growing up, then bragging about it years later. Then you've got Chelsea Handler, Alyssa Milano, and Rose McGowan. All of whom have done a lot of tasteless and morally reprehensible things in their careers - and in the case of Chelsea, all for the sake of attention and to intentionally stir up controversy. Yet, they all act like they're like experts on women's rights, and champions of the MeToo Movement . . . even though Chelsea has put out sex tapes, and Alyssa and Rose have done pornographic stuff in their careers. Ashton Kutcher is a liberal version of the kind of Republicans who go around crowing about family values, the sanctity of marriage, and what it means to be a faithful spouse . . . while sleeping around with other people. And, I won't even mention presently the Democratic party embracing a certain new celebrity endorsement, who's essentially a blonde, white, female version of Kanye.

So, I mean, with celebrity endorsements like this, I can see where some people would see the left as the party of immorality who conspire to strip America of the foundations of decency and values, and using "Liberal Hollywood" to push agendas with such celebrities.

Agreed. We need to take our frustrations to the polls. I understand the inclination to want to make life for Trump's cabinet a living ****, but doing so only helps prove that conservatives are right about them, and it'll probably make the cabinet less likely to listen to them. We have to be better than this.
