This thread is an extension of the slander on Dianne Feinstein (who did not praise Trump) Expecting Rain Aug 2017 #10

These attacks on my character are starting to become abusive. DemocratSinceBirth Aug 2017 #11

Stop with the personal attacks on Democratic leaders and on fellow members of DU. Expecting Rain Aug 2017 #12

I am not attacking any Democrats including the denizens of our august board. DemocratSinceBirth Aug 2017 #13

You have been all over this thread quoting the site rules at people who have been here a long time. Warren DeMontague Aug 2017 #86

Amen. Couldn't have said it better. brush Aug 2017 #104

I agree with your TOS statement... defacto7 Aug 2017 #15

Why is it so difficult to say there is nothing nice to say about Trump? DemocratSinceBirth Aug 2017 #16

There is nothing nice to say about Trump! defacto7 Aug 2017 #20

The best thing we have going for us is Trump's aberrant behavior. DemocratSinceBirth Aug 2017 #22

We shouldn't. She shouldn't. defacto7 Aug 2017 #23

His aberrant behavior inures to our benefit. DemocratSinceBirth Aug 2017 #24

I absolutely agree. defacto7 Aug 2017 #30

No, Trump's abberant behavior doesn't enure to our benefit, it hurt real people... Expecting Rain Aug 2017 #31

The more aberrant his behavior the lower his numbers. That is great for us. DemocratSinceBirth Aug 2017 #34

+1,000!!! AgadorSparticus Aug 2017 #123

The only attacks happening are from you threadstalking and unnecessarily alerting!!! HughBeaumont Aug 2017 #25

She is to the right of the electorate here. That is for sure. DemocratSinceBirth Aug 2017 #40

I suspect she'll retire after this term. The next Dem.Senator from CA will likely be more in tune Warren DeMontague Aug 2017 #54

What is up with new posters warning us against DUers we have read and trusted for years? Squinch Aug 2017 #29

Saying nice things abot Donald Trump(R) is normalizing a monster. There is nothing Squinch Aug 2017 #28

No one said nice things about Donald Trump. Expecting Rain Aug 2017 #32

No, it isn't, and you need to stop running around saying that, and insulting the OP writer. Squinch Aug 2017 #33

It is a false charge against Dianne Feinstein Expecting Rain Aug 2017 #36

Give it up. Squinch Aug 2017 #38

I don't shrink from attacks on good Democrats. Expecting Rain Aug 2017 #39

Does that mean you'll stop insulting DemSinceBirth. Squinch Aug 2017 #41

It is not. I implore you to stop impugning my character. DemocratSinceBirth Aug 2017 #82

I would literally rather die than to not speak truth to power. DemocratSinceBirth Aug 2017 #85

You personally insulted me and slandered Dianne Feinstein Expecting Rain Aug 2017 #107

I never insulted you or the senior senator from California. DemocratSinceBirth Aug 2017 #133

You need to back off on this. Feinstein committed a faux pas. We can criticize that. brush Aug 2017 #106

Sounds like a threat. Expecting Rain Aug 2017 #108

Pls stop with the exaggeration. There was no threat, and Feinstein screwed up. brush Aug 2017 #109

You have the right to your opinion. No need to make rookie mistakes attacking long-time DUers though brush Aug 2017 #120

So I have "the right to my opinion" as long as I keep it to myself? LOL. Expecting Rain Aug 2017 #122

I don't see how anybody can normalize an abnormal person like Trump, much less a Democrat. DemocratSinceBirth Aug 2017 #64

No one did that. Expecting Rain Aug 2017 #68

I did no such thing DemocratSinceBirth Aug 2017 #71

Baaaaahahahahahahaha!!!! Squinch Aug 2017 #72

I will try to be as precise as possible. DemocratSinceBirth Aug 2017 #74

I get it, but my sick mind goes here: we know she said it, and it's a very odd thing for Squinch Aug 2017 #75

I have no problem with them saying anything that is TRUE TexasBushwhacker Aug 2017 #57

What an odd poll. He hasn't done a thing worthy of having nice things said about him. Vinca Aug 2017 #134

There are already prominent Democrats saying nice things about him... DemocratSinceBirth Aug 2017 #136

Amazing. I haven't heard any of them yet and I can't imagine what they're praising. Vinca Aug 2017 #137
