I'd call it equivalent to your constant use of "MAGA scum" every time you get triggered. 

I guess someone got banned in the other forums. 🤣 Has still yet to do anything but get angry.

Thank you for the pro tip.  I clearly did not see that, my mistake.  Feel free to call it out but I wouldn't assume I am "perfectly fine" with it. Indeed, I would not be.

This still does not mean your response is acceptable. This is the equivalent of "the other guy is doing it". So what. Do you complain to the police officer when he pulls you over for speeding but missed the 3 people in front of you?

Bottom line, I'll watch for more comments like this as best I can but it doesn't mean you get to do it.

You are a member of this "club" with rules clearly stated. If you are insisting others "Do Better" then I suggest you heed your advice.

I don't dispute anything you say here. But, it's a pattern. I say something that doesn't align with someone else's view/feelings, they attack me, i respond in kind, you feel the need to admonished me. You give a strong impression of selective moderation based on who the poster is with no regard to what's actually being said. Opposing views are not welcomed here, that's why it's become an echo chamber with three posters. I've made it clear I'm no fan Trump, but I should be able to acknowledge the rare occasion he appears to do something right. Apologies for the previous snark. Moving on...

I hope some of you were smart enough to buy the dip when I recommended

I work, a lot.  I don't always read every post thoroughly.  Feel free to quote it and tag me.  That's all I am saying.

And things that get buried in paragraphs stand out less than things in a single line.  I'm not infallible. If you call it out I will take a look.

I've seen you criticize Trump. I'm not a fan of either party so it doesn't matter to me when people critique their members.

Yes, I know, Charlie Kirk. The relevant part of the link is the CNN clip. That man has a lot to say, not much viewed as good.

I suppose having a good week is better than having a bad week just like climbing 1 foot up the wall of a 500 foot hole you dug is better than making the hole 501 feet deep.

I can kind of appreciate him saying they don't know what the **** they are doing. Sometimes it's nice to be blunt.  

I think it's hard for people to accept that there has been financial improvements and most of that comes from a rejection from how he handles himself and his views on other things more socially aligned.

The question, I think, is whether people put more value in an improving economy or social progression. Personally I would love to find a way to improve both but it seems we continue, as a country, to put those things into diametrically opposing camps so they have to play against each other.

What I love about Trump is his mouth always screws him over. Imagine voting for this guy and having to live through what is going on right now. 🤣

These are mindful republicans which there still are plenty out there.

I've been saying forever, the reasons may vary, but both sides equally suck. 

To the bolded, I agree, but I doubt I'll see it my lifetime.
