Then you'll have to explain what 'womp, womp' means so you may as well articulate a real response and save time.

These are not ordinary politicians - ordinary folks - We have a white supremacist for a president being advised by white supremacists and folks that lack morals that are tearing down our values and norms. They are not playing by rules. These are not just folks I disagree with their politics So I am not going to watch my manners when speaking about them.

know the difference of when it's appropriate to go high and when it is necessary to go low. Alt reich comments sections are not the place where high minded ideas are being exchanged.

I've found it a great place to get out aggression. Whenever I'm about to blow I head on over and shoot some fish in a barrel.

The time for civility, decorum etc is long past. Anything goes, excluding violence of course. Public shaming of those who brought us this shit show of an administration should be practiced whenever and wherever possible. The deplorables crawled out from under their rocks because that time honored system of dealing with them was tossed aside in favor of "When they go low, we go high."

Time to kick them in the ass hard. It's only way to treat a bully and maybe the only way they'll listen. As the Delta House has an old saying: "don't get mad, get even"!
