So how are you supposed to handle it? Pain....
Oh yea...just absorb it.
In some cases, absolutely.
Do you understand learning at all? People learn through experience. When a kid throws a fit or something goes wrong, mommy and daddy give it whatever to shut it up or make it feel better. Kid learns that throwing a fit gets them what they want. They make it to the real world and find out pitching a fit gets you kicked in the nuts. They have no idea how to respond because the real world isn't treating them the way mommy and daddy did. They then have no idea how to handle things. They think the world is being unfair to them. Maybe it is on some level, but that's life. Nobody owes you anything.
You talked about disrespect. Disrespect is what gang members use as an excuse to kill people. It would be nice if people treated each other a little better, but this isn't utopia. Liberals have all these ideas that are fantastic in utopia, but we're so far from that, which renders most of those ideas useless.

You should learn to handle adversity instead of folding up. Pretty soon looking at a woman will be rape.

I don't care what Bill did any more than I care what Trump did with a porn star. The me too movement, like every other movement, started going on a power trip and have taken things too far. We have to stop this pussification of America.

He's not just like every other politician. If we can't even agree on that, there's no point in engaging you. You just like to poke and prod and belittle and thump your chest.
Is it any secret I hate Trump and think he's an arrogant prick (along with most of country)? Wow, you really dug deep there and revealed a truth I was trying to hide. Thanks, Dr. Phil.
He's not just like them. That's why he got elected. But he's more similar than any of you ever seem to want to admit. You act like he's the devil and every other president has been a saint. You complain about stuff he does, yet there's NOTHING he's done that I've seen that hasn't been done on some level before. Bill Clinton is by far my favorite Democratic president since I've been alive, but the dude was every bit as creepy as Trump in a time when it was much easier to get away with it. Billy would have been in a lot of trouble in a social media era.
So the only possible complaint you can have is that he does "more" things than others. So? If it was all okay when someone else did it, it's okay now. As I said earlier, the amount of bad is irrelevant. Bad is bad. Start picking away at the policies and get away from the person. I don't know that I've ever seen people have so much hatred for a person they don't even know just because other people tell them they should hate him.

So you think he's the only president to ever lie? Everyone knew he was a liar. Every politician is a liar, he just blasts on social media more than anyone else. If you believe what politicians tell you, that's on you.

So you were blasting Obama when he made illegal executive orders? I mean you can't be okay with one dictatorship and get pissed when the next one comes along and takes it to the next level. That's how these things go...one side pushes the envelope and the next side pushes it further.

So you do think she'd be doing the stuff Trump is doing? Or worse? Or not at all?
Different stuff. I don't think she'd be grabbing them by the pussy, but you never know these days. She was in pretty deep with the Russians herself, conspired with her party to screw Bernie, and had/has questionable things with their foundation. Worse is just an opinion and really doesn't matter in this case. Bad is bad...I'm not sure the level of bad should make a difference. It's not like she's Mother Theresa. Obama looks like a saint compared to either of them.

And Clinton let his cronies off the hook too.
Part of me wishes that Hillary had won just so I don't have to hear the same people bitching over and over because we know they'd be dead silent about the shit she pulls...
Haha, OK. She'd have a hard time matching the shit Trump is pulling. I think you know that's true too but won't admit it.
Why not? I didn't vote for Trump. Jesus, just because I don't come on here every chance I get to blast Trump I must be a fan?
