Double standard

Posted: Feb 8, 2017

Last week there was a post taking me to task for a term I used to describe Donald Trump. The reason I couldn't answer was that I was temporarily banned from the board. It's obvious that I don't like Donald Trump, think he is unqualified to be president and an embarassment to this country. However, the reason for the name-called, which I have discontinued in agreement with the new rules of the board is that for eight years the Obamas have been called some very offensive names which have been tolerated and even applauded. These insults were not limited to political issues but were directed at the behavior and appearance of the Obama family. True that some of these posts were removed but certainly not all of them. Now that Donald Trump is POTUS the rules have changed. That's fine with me but it doesn't erase from memory all those posts over the Obama presidency.

Ditto Hillary Clinton (whether you like her or not).

Agree about that also - Resist

although I had some reservations about her. However, I found the comments about the Obamas more objectionable because of the veiled and not so veiled racism, whether the posters admitted it or not.

Then report the post with the name calling - nm

The post Resist is referring to was...SM - Old Anon

in the past and no longer on the forum, so she can't report it, but I'm willing to bet she'll start reporting any new ones that pop up. The lack of reading comprehension on this board simply astounds me.

I saw a commercial for this sandwich and have become obsessed with trying it, so my husband just left to go get us one. Anyone try it yet?

By Alejandro Lazo and Andrew Tangel, Los Angeles Times February 4, 2013, 10:14 p.m. The federal government is embarking on one of its most ambitious efforts to assign blame for the financial crisis, going after Wall Street's biggest credit rating firm for its role in pumping up the housing bubble. The Justice Department filed a lawsuit late Monday in Los Angeles federal court against Standard & Poor's Corp. The suit accuses the compan ...

The most rigorous study to date of how much it costs to care for Americans with dementia found that the financial burden is at least as high as that of heart disease or cancer, and is probably higher. And both the costs and the number of people with dementia will more than double within 30 years, skyrocketing at a rate that rarely occurs with a chronic disease.

Double-digit Obamacare premium hikes projected in 2017 may bode in Donald Trump’s favor, as several swing states are being impacted by double-digit increases under the law and consumers are expected to see the hikes around Nov. 1 — one week before heading to the polls. Trump has promised to repeal and replace Obamacare, but Hillary Clinton has vowed to make the Obamacare exchanges work. Some say the way she would do that is through raising taxes. “Any reports of premium increases will ...

We told you so, liberals, but you wouldn't listen. It never made the slightest bit of sense, anyone with one eye could see that it was going to fail. You had to pass it in the dead of night, you had to sell it with lies, and now it's being propped up with more lies. To the Frankensteins responsible for setting this monster loose on the people, I hope the people wake up and send you into permanent retirement. ...
