    They don't huh? Have you been under a rock the past few years?

    It is happening on both sides but the fact that it happens on one side does not somehow justify the same action by the other side.

    Who has given Trump or the Republicans unconditional support? No one that I know of.

    OK. I'll just call you "Ostrich" from now on. Everything is fine, our country is not polarized, almost all people judge the act not the actor and to the extent anyone is wrong at all it's all those misguided people who disagree with you

    I think many here would, based upon previous post, support him for doing so.


    Polarization and complete lack of empathy have won! Some posters would probably support a sociopathic government. The fall is inevitable now

    Quantify "many" and "some". 1, 2, 3...?

    Could it be a vociferous few?

    It's enough on both "sides" to be ruining the board. I really cannot believe there is support for Trumps war hawk comments about Iran. I have not verified this but one of the supposed news shows said he had alluded to military action and said something about the "ultimate option" . If that is true there is no excuse for it and none for support of it. Even if we really needed to get involved ( which we do not need to) he shouldn't be using such imflamatory language.

    Oh, c'mon, several members have expressed dissatisfaction with Trump during his presidency thus far, I have, but still get called Trumpling or, Trumpanzie.

    But what is enough, the numbers or the vociferousness of a few?
