    Because lying and boasting are both undesirable behaviours that are trained out of your child by the time they are eight.

    Huh?

    That is your idea of a "contribution" that furthers duscussion of the OP topic?:smh::bored:

    Anyway, back ON-Topic to Schadenfruede:

    It is beyond obvious that Trump's Policy of Hate and Division has destroyed any remaining scintilla of civility in political discourse.

    PS--If you do choose to respond, try to make your "contribution" longer that 2 words.

    Thanks in advance.:salute:

    Perhaps I’m mistaken? Are lying and boasting both desirable behaviours in your neck of the woods?

    I just want people to stop saying stupid things like:

    "You act as if you won't be satisfied until the entirety of America is one big Rally and everyone who ever dared say or even thought anything that Trump wouldn't like has been locked up or deported"

    Who here has ever acted this way? Really?

    If you don't answer the question, how should I know?
    To my mind it's situational. Back in the day, no one was mor boastful than Muhammad Ali, but he backed it up pretty well, for the most part.

    Boasting is undesirable. So is lying.

    Every Trumper on this board has done something like that at one time or another. Specific examples of other posters can get me infracted, but you know it's been done

    Self-praise stinks. It's annoying, impolite and insults the listener "He who exalts himself shall be humbled and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted" Matthew 23:12

    Trump has made me insecure about whether I will continue to get the Medicare and Social Security I live on. I am convinced that his environmental depredations have made the air pollution worse and this has made my bronchitis far more unpleasant.

    If you are neutral to Trump why do you have so much problem accepting that many people hate him?

    Hate does appear to be a "family value" of your criminal IMPOTUS and his supporters.

    Yes, it does do themselves more harm than those they hate.

    The solution would be to abandon their criminal IMPOTUS and support a NORMAL candidate instead.

    But instead their hatred keeps them warm at night or a reason to live or something of that nature.

    Their hatred doesn't bother me at all however the nefarious and venal ACTIONS of the criminal IMPOTUS and the lickspittle GOP are causing HARM to We the People and that MUST be stopped.

    People hated your criminal IMPOTUS back then because he was, and still is, a LYING SHYSTER who CHEATED them out of what he OWED them.

    Not a single US bank will lend him a dollar because they KNOW he is UNTRUSTWORTHY.

    Only the gullible allow themselves to be duped TWICE by the same con artist.

    I am a centrist, one of those dastardly swing voters ... and, personally, I think Trump is a deeply flawed man.

    I will respect the office of the presidency, even if he should not (read Twitter).

    I trust the Constitution is stronger than one president, it's held us up well through much turmoil.

    I am sick of the hate rhetoric! Sick.

    I was sick of it under Clinton, under Bush, under Obama, and even Trump.

    The politics of personal destruction has destroyed the political landscape.

    With each president it becomes more strident.

    One cannot go on a Sunday talk show and call one's counterpart an evil ****, and expect to work with him on delicate national matters come Monday!

    Everyone who engages in this uncivil discourse is part of the problem.

    I don't know that, not at all. PM me with examples, if you like.
