I personally don't give a rat's ass who started it. I'm sure if some partisan dug through the records they would an earlier case of the other side starting it. I'm tired of those 'but they started it' excuses. Yeah unrealistic as heck, but it doesn't change how I feel about it. And even as a repug myself, I wasn't a fan of what was done to Clinton. (who was one of the few Democrats that I've voted for over the years.)

True ... on the other hand, the time under Bush jr. was more or less civilized, except for the demands for recounts in his reelection and also except for the witch hunt that "patriots" did on people protesting the war
So, it doesn't seem to happen every time ... just with a higher probability at times when a Democrat is PotUS (and people of the GOP try to harm him at all costs)Tamsin (Lost Girl): "I am the Harbinger of Death. I arrive on winds of blessed air. Air that you no longer deserve."

Yeah it does seem a bit slanted in that direction, but doesn't change my opinion on it. And it has been more recent, (remembering I'm older and have seen more Dem presidents, back to Kennedy)It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

Having certain meedia outlets that don't seem to care all too much about the truth and are fanatically believed by parts of the ppulation (like Breitbart of Fox) of course increases the probability for feeliings boiling up.
So, I guess, the probability for a return to the "good old times" may be rather small (unles, of course, one has a president which even the extemists of both sides can accept)Tamsin (Lost Girl): "I am the Harbinger of Death. I arrive on winds of blessed air. Air that you no longer deserve."

While the Internet may be the greatest invention ever, not all of it's benefits are good.
Look on the bright side. Maybe Comcast will push it's own new services more and when the Repugs finish gutting net neutrality rules, they can slow down the Breitbart and Fox feeds on their network.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit.

Now Trump is PotUS and he himself is victim of a witch hunt
To say it with another example (more akin to the buddhist concept of Karma):
If in this life you are a rich man and treat beggars condescending and badly who come begging at your door,
you may find yourself in your next life as a beggar yourself (and be treated badly by rich people), in order to teach you more compassion and modestyLast edited by Proteus_MST; May 19, 2017, 16:21.Tamsin (Lost Girl): "I am the Harbinger of Death.

Originally posted by rah View PostI didn't like it when it was happening to Obama and while Trump certainly deserves it, I'm still not 100% comfortable with it. I guess I'm still a bit old fashion and thinks the office deserves a little respect. Back in the old days, a president could be having an affair and the press would turn away. I guess you can't go back and once the genie is out of the bottle, he isn't going back.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

You mean like when Trump suddenly, out of thin air, began claiming that Obama had wiretapped Trump Tower?Tamsin (Lost Girl): "I am the Harbinger of Death. I arrive on winds of blessed air. Air that you no longer deserve."

News reports of Ds backing off of impeachment demands. We know that D politicians conspire with liberal media (reported by liberal media). Why would they want the public to think that they don't want to seem over eager when their base is calling for impeachment?
They might get Trump on some BS charge, because that's what they like to do just so that they can get you on something big. But then Trump will be a martyr.I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?
