It's almost impossible to keep one's civility when children are being abused by our govt.

Sure, if we're talking about tax cuts, let's be civil. If we're talking about global trade, let's have a reasoned debate where everyone can present their side.

But someone please tell me, how does one keep their civility when children are taken away from their mothers and kept in prisons. How does one have a reasoned debate with barbarism? I know I can't.

I can't watch and hear children crying for their mothers in the dark of the night and be calm.

I am done with "civility" and sitting down and shutting up.

They can all rot in hell and I will gladly volunteer to shovel coals onto the fires to keep them immolated.
These 'people' are literally everything I would rather than die than abide, so they can shove civility right up SHS' ample ass and if there's any left over, stick it down the orange shit-gibbon's festering gob.

I hear the same thing from a few of my Republican friends. Things seem to be going off wire fast.

Hatred is a poisonous emotion but I can honestly say I hate trump and co. I have been in a funk, for lack of a better word, since 1/20/17 and cannot shake out of it. But...this has made me more politically active than I have ever been in my life. See, I have an immigrant daughter and if anyone of these Nazi bastards decide to come after her, I will likely either end up in jail or dead. I realize that likely wouldn't do much good, but it's how I feel.
