Cool, calm, and collected was not a thing back for you guys back then.

Not caring for the president is one thing, doing what the left is doing is so so much more than just that...

Hey, stop making so much sense with so few words damnit! I struggle to articulate my thoughts and have to write two paragraphs in order to poorly do so and here you are saying what I mean in one sentence.

Here's the difference:

Small child wants candy but is told no - he frowns but goes on with life = Republican

Small child wants candy but is told no - proceeds to meltdown and throw himself on the supermarket aisle floor and have a fit = Democrat

............why is it this way - too many little ones have been given the candy after throwing the fit............................

Excellent!

Another difference:

One party loses an election, both the legislative branch and oval office. Makes sure to start organizing and rallying their base to win the next several elections. = Republicans

One party loses an election. both legislative branch and oval office. Proceeds to have temper tantrums requiring their base to seek help in the form of coloring books and play-doh. = Democrats

Adults v children.


One party loses an election

My brother, who had insurance and money, was denied a hospice bed when he was dying, simply because he was a Gay man who had a disease that primarily affected Gay men, living in Alabama. He died a needlessly painful death without the care HE PAID FOR with his insurance premiums simply due to discrimination. By the way, he used to post on CSNBBS, under the name AlaIllTex. This wasn't in 1983, but in 2017. Sue you ask? Under what law? And if that can happen to my brother, who had money, insurance, and some VERY privileged (not me, but my family) people advocating for him, then what do they do to people who don't have those things? Here's a clue. https://www.al.com/news/mobile/index.ssf..._dump.html By the way, the fact that some distant relative of the deceased in this case got a small payout doesn't take away from the fact that he was friggin killed by Mobile Infirmary. No one was prosecuted for this. No one lost a bonus as far as I can tell.

Just next door to where I had to figure out how to attempt to care for my dying brother last August, over in Mississippi, a Gay man was refused service by a funeral home, simply because he was in a Gay marriage. They had pre-paid for the cremation. He was insulted too. As a result, he was threatened with having his husband's body thrown out onto the curb if he didn't stop his greaving and try to find someone to burn the body up. The funeral home is fighting that lawsuit, because Mississippi. This was in 2016.

But thanks for reducing the suffering and discrimination we face to that of not getting candy.

And its not like the GOP didn't provide a strong assist in the deaths of 10 million American people from a disease they refused to fight early when it was only killing Gay men and persons of color. Have you been to 10 funerals for close friends under the age of 35 in the same month? Most combat veterans haven't. But just about every Gay man over the age of 50 has. There's a historical precedent here. Thanks Reagan.

And remember, that Trump is in alliance with people who actually DO round up people simply for being Gay and put them into death camps. Trump wont condemn and he's trying to go to Helsinki to excuse a naked grab of land. He certainly won't ban Russian supporters of human rights violations from the US. And Trump is relying heavilly on those that directly have supported criminalization of LGBT persons for domestic advice too. People like Tony Perkins. People like Austin Ruse. And what about the Muslims you ask? Sure, Trump has been the punk b*tch of the Saudis too.
