    You must love that mud slinging?

    Probably both.

    I am guessing, however (without knowing anything about it) that it was intended as a taunt--even if it was factually correct.

    This is certainly true.

    The hosts of late-night TV--probably like most other Hollywood types--are all liberals. So they simply detest anyone who is not one of their own. (That includes Donald Trump.)

    But I strongly--and I do mean strongly--object to their mockery also.

    No argument there.

    But throughout my own lifetime--which began in 1948--civility in American politics has been the norm.

    Would you really wish to suddenly smash that norm?

    (By the way, what do you think of Joe Biden's calling Donald Trump "an existential threat" to our country? Do you really consider that to not be highly inappropriate?)

    You remember improperly. Remove your rose-tinted glasses.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    (1) What, precisely, do you believe that I "remember improperly"?

    And (2) What do you think of Joe Biden's calling Donald Trump "an existential threat"? (I asked previously; but you declined to answer. I do hope that you will answer this time.)

    Donald Trump "does everything to separate and frighten people."--Joe Biden, speaking of Donald Trump.

    Joe Biden is "a loser."--Donald Trump, speaking of Joe Biden.

    Donald Trump is "literally an existential threat."--Joe Biden, speaking of Donald Trump.

    I could go on and on; but you surely get the point...
    I missed your 3rd grade reference. Perhaps they are playing to the communication level and "insult first" mentality of a few of this board's members.
