I've been called a racist on this forum and if you KNEW me you'd wet your pants laughing at that. I know I'm not and the people important to me know I'm not. So, do I care what someone calls me on a forum? Nope.

Standard Democrat Playbook? Pretend something is true and then complain about it? Now that there is outright hilarious. LOL Have you read the crap posted about our POTUS and First Lady. Now there you have a 'Standard GOP Playbook'. Post an outrageous lie enough times and some low brow followers will believe it and post it over and over and over.....

That's exactly what the remaining sensible Republicans said about "Democrat-Socialist Party".

We now return to the top stories of the hour, Long Tailed Lemur runs loose at Malaysian airport and Britney Spears to auction off her hair...
Most of the time I agree with your posts but this 'high brow/I don't stoop to inane topics' post is unbecoming. People are allowed to have humor in their lives. It's healthy. If you don't agree,fine. But there's no need to insult those that do. other than to 'puff' yourself up.

I'm just a "citizen" posting on the internet something funny.

But I bet you will go and vote for the party that took the time to try to pass a resolution in congress do the same I'm doing here.

Nice dumb thread we have here. Nothing says American better than hatred toward your fellow American because they have different political beliefs. Glad people still act like 5 year olds.

Humor, sure, I love it and can't get enough but I don't find it funny in the least bit to have political parties or party membership attempting to progress their parties positions by the use of simplistic labels to appeal purely to the most emotionally reactive.

This issue is something right out of a Monty Python skit.

That's the whole point. It's called mockery.
