Discerning people would have difficulties voting in favor of a lot of them. Billionaire buddies of Putin's, known racists, climate change deniers, one who said he would like to get rid of the deptartment he now heads, when he can remember the name of it, etc., etc. So, you are in fact completely blaming Trump for this "divide"!

And he wants to take away women's rights, and he and his press secretary both lied, and he has appointed people with some dubious backgrounds and some of whom are rich people that I doubt care much about anything other than becoming richer. Yep, I blame him for the divide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bush_cheney2004 Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) In Trump's America, liberal SNL comedy writer gets suspended for mocking Barron Trump. Social media shaming works in both directions: Quote Katie Rich, a writer for “Saturday Night Live,” has been suspended from her position at that show following a widely criticized post she made Friday on her personal Twitter account in which she mocked Barron Trump, the 10-year-old son of President Donald J. Trump. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/23/arts/television/katie-rich-snl-suspended-barron-trump-tweet.html Edited January 24, 2017 by bush_cheney2004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bush_cheney2004 Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) Sen. Bernie Sanders and Democrats praised President Donald Trump for abandoning the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Quote Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt), who campaigned hard against the Trans-Pacific Partnership in last year’s Democratic presidential primaries, praised President Trump for an executive order to officially pull the United States out of the deal. “I am glad the Trans-Pacific Partnership is dead and gone,” Sanders said. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2017/01/23/sanders-praises-trump-for-nixing-tpp-delighted-to-work-with-him-on-pro-worker-policies/?utm_term=.57b8a1b4d773 Edited January 24, 2017 by bush_cheney2004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be heartening to see your posting style normalized into a new style of governance. No changing of goalposts. It's just a matter of understanding the statement.
