Gosh, sounds like Fox commentators during the Democratic Convention.

Can you provide direct evidence of Fox Commentators making fun of people's accents, using racist terms, and making fun a teenager's physical appearance during the DNC? If not, you're just making shit up.

I couldn't agree more.

Gosh, sounds like Fox commentators during the Democratic Convention.

That first quote was in response to me saying it's unfortunate that people can't admit to a weakness of the other party, instead pointing out failings of the other side.

The second quote is you commenting to someone who pointed out someone on your side of the aisle making pretty inappropriate comments.

Apparently you could agree more.

Both groups are equally culpable. Until we start to respect each other and recognize that in spite our differences in political philosophy we share a lot of common ground, our society will continue to fall apart and our government will continue to be totally disfunctional.

You've got the White House being used as a prop for one party's convention, and various federal employees possibly violating the Hatch Act.

What are you gonna do. Grifters gonna grift.

(or pay the legal fees of their porn star during their own convention)

HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius violated the Hatch Act, which prohibits certain political activity, when she made “extemporaneous partisan remarks” during a speech in her official capacity earlier this year, the U.S. Office of Special Counsel said Wednesday.

I feel like the people who hate Donald Trump the most are doing their best to get him re-elected right now.

The intolerant Left is on full display tonight on twitter. Trashing Melania Trump's accent (Bette Midler saying how she "still can't speak English), calling Kentucky Attorney General, David Cameron, a "coon", "uncle Tom", "house negro", CNN political analyst, Joe Lockhart, calling Nick Sandmann a "snot nosed kid", and former Elizabeth Warren staffer, Benjamin O'Keefe, making fun of Nick Sandmann's physical appearance.

And former NYT columnist, Kurt Eichenwald, in a crazy twitter rant about Melania making changes to the rose garden, tweeted, "'These trashy, evil, stupid people need to get out of our house', and, 'This is the first time I have been furious that @FLOTUS is a foreigner. She has no right to wreck our history.'

These people are unhinged, but they want to lecture Americans on being tolerant???

Just more examples of the intolerant left. If anyone on the right says something even close to this, the left demands that the person be fired and their life be ruined. And sadly, X-Man can't even admit that the above is wrong. Most leftists are probably nodding their heads when they hear or read the above garbage and say, "That's true!!"

But there's no standard like a double standard.

Exactly. The Democratic Party is destroying themselves right now. Just doesn’t make any sense

By the way, you must be missing the naturalization ceremony at the White House right now.

trump hates "chain migration" right after he let Melania's parents and sister into the country. "They are not the people we want" Such a Hypocrite.

She was wrong, and violated the Hatch Act as was pointed out.
Do you have any idea how many people have violated it in the last 2 days? Everyone except Trump and Pence (exempt) that is a federal employee practicing partisan political activity. Not to mention being in the White House itself.

As an aside, I loved seeing Bondi. She was going to join Florida in the suit against Trump's sham University.
Then magically she got a $25,000 campaign contribution from Trump's "charity" and decided to withdraw from that suit.
Of course Trump had to pay a $2500 fine, because "charities" can't make political donations.
Then later had to shut the "charity" down and repay $2 million for misusing the "charity" for personal reasons.

What are you going to do. Grifters are going to grift and lie.
