By the way, have someone explain spam to you. It doesn't mean article-sharing. And I post perhaps 3% of the anti-Trump articles I read, not "every." Personally, I far prefer people posting articles rather than unsupported insults.

I was ready to agree but you lost me as soon as I read your vile words against our President and anyone who supports him. No progress being made here.

Considering you start at least 3+ anti-Trump threads a day that would equate to at least 100+ anti-Trump opinion pieces/articles daily. Talk about garbage in, garbage out. Such obsession is unhealthy.

This evening, over the course of 14 minutes you started four anti-Trump threads.

That's what Trump is.
I don't like Trump either, but the above ^^^^^ is a deflection that doesn't refute WaldoKitty's points...because you can't. She 'got you', when it comes to that particular post.

Why expend so much negative energy toward any one person (no matter who it is) ?

It depends.

If it is Obama starting a drone war in Yemen it is AWESOME! If it is Obama funding Saudi Arabia's military actions in Yemen it is AWESOME!

NOBEL PEACE PRIZE BABY!!!

If Trump continues those actions he is hateful warmonger acting out of his cis white male privilege and bigotry.

St. Pete for Peace

Clarallel,
If you want to increase civility you can start by personally stopping your demonization of millions of people that you disagree with. You are part of the problem.

It is the current belief by around 40 percent of all Millenials that micro-aggressions against onesself can be met with violence. If I am your aggressor, you can in turn punch me in the face. Until we can change this thought process back to a normalcy, and stop viewing people with different views from you as agressive enemies, the violence will continue.

Your numerous anti-trump threads, usually referencing the very unbiased NYtimes (lol), are always bastions of goodwill and promote reason.

If you believe violence is speech you are part of the problem. negative speech between politicians is common. negative speech is not responsible for the violence of another. and who sent these bombs is unknown. how about waiting to see who sent them and their motive?

I would not be surprised if it turns out these bombs came from leftists trying to stir the pot. Since even the extreme right ( even the Hitler humpers) has not been nearly as overtly violent as the extreme left a reason to point fingers is needed so its possible the left made one up. You are correct...lets wait and see.

House Rep Scalise agrees.

I am sure you meant this for both sides of the aisle.
