“It was pretty tame”? That is your response? There was plenty of marching in the streets after Trump won in many large cities. Where was the marching when Obama won?
True, but that is not the argument is it? Conservatives never said they were going to interrupt the inauguration. The left wing is constantly threatening it.
Political attacks made by political people. Again, the typical conservative didn’t say much. And certainly not to the degree that the immature babies on the left have.
Talk? That’s all you have? The left is taking about taking out Trump every day and you mention something that is said about a “candidate”?
Just admit there is nothing on the right that has equaled the mental breakdown that the left is suffering because Donald Trump won the election. It’s pretty freaking obvious to all who have seen and read about Presidential elections for decades.

Ambassador Ron Dermer went one step further, asserting that Israel would share the intelligence it has with the incoming U.S. administration on how President Obama is directly responsible for the passing of the resolution.
An Israeli ambassador publicly proclaiming that Israel is collecting intelligence on any American president is simply astounding. …
Netanyahu, in his response [to Kerry’s speech], had to go on the offensive against the Obama administration one last time by saying:
“We have it on absolute, incontestable evidence that the United States organized, advanced and brought this resolution to the U.N.S.C. We will share this information with the incoming administration, some of it is sensitive, it’s all true.” [/quote]
Thanks for reminding me. Even before he was elected President the wacky left was disrupting Trump’s rallies.
“During his presidential campaign, activists occasionally organized demonstrations inside Trump’s rallies, sometimes with calls to shut the rallies down”
Do you take issue with people marching in the streets? Can I assume you excoriated the Tea Party when they did the same on occasion back in the day?
Again, you are objecting to Americans assembling to express their political views–a right the FFs were at pains to make explicit. Sounds to me like maybe you need a ‘safe space’ for the inauguration, where you’re less likely to experience triggers and micro-aggressions.
Two words, my friend: Tea Party.
‘Taking out’? What does that mean?
How about we call it even and say the election of Trump is as distressing to the left as Obama’s election was to the right?
Ha peaceful gathering in Washington. Nothing was destroyed. They even picked up their own litter. And…they were not protesting Obama per se.
OMG…more distraction. That’s not the point. Why bring a straw man to a good argument unless that is you have no argument. They sure do have the right. I was pointing out how very, very bad they look. And that there is no equal on the right.
And you and MM have not yet shown me one. It’s time you give me this one.
I am sure it is just as distressing for the left as it was for the right. What I will not concede is the fact that the left are generally in full melt down and have and are responding radically different than the right did.
Nonsense. All you need to do is post the pictures and articles of the many, many right wing protests to equal what the left has done since and even before Trump won.
You can’t do it. It’s a losing argument.
And there is good reason why it happened. Because I like you I will tell you if you want to know
I truly don’t understand–what ‘looks bad’ about it?
I must point out that a significant portion of the ‘principled right’ are in melt-down mode as well, albeit more quietly. So this is not merely a left-right issue.

It’s existence qualified as valid news. It’s (unverified) content did not. And this is exactly how the major media outlets treated it.[/quote]
Absolutely – let us know that there is an unverified memo being discussed at the highest levels of government that outlines additional information regarding Russia’s involvement in the 2016 presidential election.
Once you start playing the “we can’t tell you what it says, but here’s what our sources say about it, and here’s where you can find it” game, you lose me.
I mean, I get it: they’re not reporting on the unverified information, itself, they’re reporting about the existence of the unverified information. They’re not reporting on the unverified information, itself, they’re reporting on their sources’ accounts/impressions of the unverified information.
But, just because I get it doesn’t mean I don’t think it’s weak.
Not sure why the Fox article was posted – did Fox rationalize their publication of this information as CNN did?
Enlighten me. I, for one have not argued that they were the same scale as the many young people that are against Donald Trump…but that people in fact did protest.
I will remember you fringe groups comment for later arguments though
Please enlighten me as to “Why?” I’m truly curious.
Does it matter? Or per your position, is the salient issue that they published it at all?
My point re including the link was to demonstrate that reporting on the existence of the dossier was not unique to CNN, or even to the ‘leftstream’ media. Thus, Trump’s singling out of CNN as equal to BuzzFeed seems hypocritical (at best).
Oh this is so insane. Do Trump supporters realize how much of a fuck up the President-elect is in terms of foreign policy and how much of a humiliation his subservience to Putin is for the world’s leading superpower?
“Shouldn’t we ask Trump about the embassy? Nah, we’ll talk it over directly with his boss”
Speaking at a joint press conference, Erekat said, “I came with an urgent message from Mahmoud Abbas. We request that President Putin use all the tools at his disposal to prevent Trump from relocating the embassy, because, for us, this is crossing a red line.”
No, but Trump pushed many people away from the Republican platform (like myself) and I think it would be wise of him to try and rein them back. An easy way to do that would be to provide something beyond what he has at it relates to what he intends to pursue. “Mexico’s gonna pay us back” isn’t a plan.
You don’t understand what looks bad about massive protests in most major cities? What’s wrong with celebrities filming a commercial begging electors to change their vote? What looks bad about threats from the left to interrupt the inauguration? What’s bad about disrupting Trump rallies even before he was elected?
You don’t really have a defense for this one my friend. You are too smart to try to defend the oh so wacky left.
Okay, one more time. It’s okay to be distressed about your particular candidate not winning. And I agree there are some conservatives who dislike Trump. Far less today than say 90 days ago. But, that is not the argument. It’s not being distressed about the outcome. It’s how the left reacts to being distressed. As I said there is no equal on the right to how the left has behaved since and even before Trump won the election.
And as hard as you try you cannot justify these childish actions. And it is specifically a left wing issue.
