    I wonder if Biden's daughter wishes the village had been there to help her.

    Foolish Donald Trump's childish dig at the Governor of Florida


    The reactions to the Trump name-calling weren’t favorable in conservative circles. “Calling it now, DeSantis is going to run, and he’s going to beat Trump badly,” Will Chamberlain, the publisher of Human Events and a right-wing lawyer, said in response to the Trump jab. “This is just weak.”

    Right-wing Daily Wire pundit Matt Walsh also expressed frustration at Trump over the “dumb nickname.” “Trump isn’t going to be able to take this one [DeSantis] down with a dumb nickname. He better have more than that up his sleeve,” he wrote. “Also, nice job launching your public attack against the most popular conservative governor in America three days before the midterms when we’re all supposed to be showing a united front.”

    It didn’t end there.

    After all these years of fighting on so many fronts, I wondered when Trump would lose it

    The personality that enabled him to stand in the midst of the cesspool and fight is not serving him well when he's not in combat. Lots of people are pissed he would do this to DeSantis. This is the worse target Trump could have picked to shoot from the hip at, and lots of people are angry.

    That being said, us having standards of conduct put us at a great disadvantage to the other side.

    Sorry, but I don't believe either side has displayed any "standards of conduct." It's a national disgrace.

    There are assh*les in every large group. It doesn't make everyone in the group assh*les. (I never used to say that word but it turned out there really are those who deserve the term.) Mob mentality happens. But I have met more in the left than the right. Just my experience.
    Civility died when thousands wore crocheted female genitalia on their heads.
    Passing the office of the President?
    I am not a deplorable either.

    I agree. The difference is that the Dems don't care and Republicans will toss out a Net Good...IMHO.
