    And another arrested. There is such a thing as class and tact but that is apparently missing in the hysterical irrational TDS sufferers.

    Really? There are a lot of Californians who want to split the state into multiple states, just to get away from the loons who dominate there.

    Lol, can't address the point so attack the poster.

    And you have the gall to call me childish. You are one of the biggest whiners here, you never post anything useful, and are generally useless to the forum. Why do you bother?

    Do you have any any views on the actual subject of the thread which you could share with everyone here?

    The ones who don't engage in it also don't have the ability to convince the others to tame their rhetoric. That's because the vitriol is coming from the leadership of the party.

    While we've been waiting for Trump to publicly condemn Rep. Al Baldasaro's comments about shooting Hillary, Trump invited him to the White House on Friday.
