Jefferey Epstein found dead in jail cell

[AM64]

This is ridiculous. This has nothing to do with political correctness. It has to do with adherence to common decency. By any standards of adult human behavior, past or present, Donald Trump's conduct is obnoxious. He is immature, egotistical, irresponsible and petty. The "mockery" that Trump makes, is that of good taste.

All as defined by your side's standards. Your side sees "white nationalism" as a new evil extremism stoked by Trump, but neglect the possibility of simple backlash against Obama inspired racial/sexual/social extremism. You view a move to limit illegal migration as racist rather than simple resource management. You want a good politically insensitive comparison? When any animal like deer are so abundant that they threaten an ecological balance, their population is often reduced through hunting; securing the border simply is a nonlethal way to limit the herd of illegal aliens threatening to disrupt our economy ... or as people like to say, "nothing personal".

No, as defined by the social mores that are widely observed and considered to have significance, Trump's behavior is obnoxious. Trump has demonstrated a consistent pattern of rudeness, insensitivity, dishonesty, coarseness, self-absorption, vindictiveness and a lack of refinement or sophistication. Nobody would raise their kids with instructions to behave in this manner. You are trying to make this an issue of partisanship, when it isn't. This only concerns the crass behavior of one man, who has no sense of self-awareness and nobody in his orbit to correct him. He has nothing but enablers around him.

Please tell me which past president we've had that has espoused goodness and decency.

The closest we've come to that might be Reagan and even that is pushing the envelope to a stretch.

Carter, Obama (Bush 1 and 2, Clinton, and Reagan) all to a much greater degree than Trump.

 

[ajvol01]

I was speaking more to the moral side. The respect we received because we were good and decent, not the respect that comes from being rich and powerful.

I'm 100% with you on the bolded; on a personal, community, and national level. (I think that is where Trump is a complete failure)

That’s because you’re a partisan who sees and believes what you want to be true.

 

[luthervol]

I'd rather have that $5 in my pocket than to give it to whomever you and your bleeding heart fascists deem worthy of my labors. GEt the **** out of my wallet. If you want to support the rest of the world, by all means write a bigger check to your beloved government

Got it. Now that you've benefited from what you were provided, everyone else can fend for themselves. Admirable.

So you are saying that a move toward liberalism under Obama and those inspired by insipid college professors have no affect on mores, but that a backlash possibly leading to an "unacceptably" altered set of mores is due to Trump ... and, therefore, unacceptable. That some trends are acceptable but other trends aren't ... and you and your buddies have the sole right to determine which is which?

I find it interesting that the side favoring disruptive free speech ... including bullying, violence, burning, vandalism (and other civil abuses) is offended by crude words and blunt speech ... particularly those done in the quiet form of printed opinion ... and to think Trump didn't even use caps.

Tell me, Luther, how you get the egg out of a shell to make an omelette. I'm sure you on the left have some secret nonviolent method that we heathens and deplorables can't master.

So you’d prefer a polite and considerate President who was beholden to the military industrial complex?

So to all those upset by the President's retweet of someone else's twitter post...

how do you feel about a democratic presidential candidate directly trying to stir back up racial tensions while pandering the vote?

Don't ask questions to the puppet. He'll have to check his talking points first for the right answer to that.

Yeah, Warren is beyond stupid and doesn't know what she's even saying. That case is closed. Nothing left to it.

I guess I should feel honored that you think I get talking points.

Nothing has been altered under Trump. There has never been a period in time when Trump's conduct wouldn't be considered distasteful, boorish and inappropriate and there still isn't. This has nothing to do with politics and it has nothing to do with the fact that he is by no means the only obnoxious person in American society. It has to do with the fact that Trump is in a high profile and leadership role and behaves in a manner which is an affront to common decency, ethical principles and values. This is not about politics.

Just in general:
Pointing out that there is racism and working to lessen it is not the same as stirring up racial tensions or being racist.
Some of you seem to confuse those frequently, especially with Obama.

Lol. What was he provided?

Goodness! Who is working to lessen racial tensions? Democrats??? It surely isn't Pocahontas being the leader on this..

There are people around this great country of ours who excel in their jobs every day, while also being respectful of others and exercising judgment in accordance with a strong moral fiber. Trump just isn't one of them. All indications are, that his primary concern, is only on his own selfish whims and needs.

 

[Mick]

Nope. They just seems to make up a large portion of the population that either doesn't care to respond to polls or they respond with poll screwing replies.

It's rather like amusing oneself with telemarketers.

How in the F would you even know that? Did you take a poll?

 

[luthervol]

Lol. What was he provided?

I'm guessing probably a public education, ball fields on which to play, parks to visit, a degree of personal safety, safe foods to eat, clean water to drink,..... among many other things.

 

[Mick]

That's probably true. I'd be more than happy to tell anybody what I think about a poll (and where they can stuff it - photosensitively safe and all) if I'm not busy doing something even remotely worthwhile, but I'm not about to answer stupid questions intended to provide "correct" answers. Marketing is marketing, marketing is endless meaningless polls, and marketing generally = BS.

I hate to say that you are being targeted and probably haven't responded to polls and it's a proven industry that marketing works.

 

[C-south]

Yyyyyeeeeeaaaaaa I don’t think that’s what he was talking about or what you were insinuating.

You completely missed my point.

Just for example The Bush family played the part. Polite. Respectful. Literally killed millions of people.

Who is getting rich off of these endless wars? I can tell you it’s not the guy currently sitting in the White House.

It’s a scam. The American people need to wake up to it.

Michael Brown is a controversial figure. Some believe one thing happened, others believe something else. I'm glad that the police have cameras to protect them and the people they confront, now.

I don't care for this tweet, either. I am not a fan of Elizabeth Warren. Needs to let that go.

If your point is the Iraq War, then you have completely changed the subject. I was talking about the behavior of Donald Trump... particularly on Twitter.
