Hello evince,
There is a reason people don't talk like Lenny Bruce in polite company.
And it is not permitted on the floors of Congress where our nation's business is conducted.
Nor in the courts. Anyone who argued like that would be found in contempt of most courts, including the SCOTUS.
And it is not appropriate in the Executive either. Any executive who tried to act like that would be resoundingly criticized for behaving in a manner beneath the dignity of the office.
Trump is often accused of behaving in a manner beneath the dignity of the office. Adding crude insults to good points is arguing in a manner beneath the dignity of those good points. It detracts from them.
And you would not hear that from a major media professional in a story presented by the 4th estate. It is inappropriate.
When we are talking about politics, we are talking about the actions of all these branches of government.
There is no need to offend the decorum in order to make a good point.
You make good points and then you trash them with cheap insults.
That's not entertaining. It is a big turn-off for a lot of people.

I bet more people read my posts than yours
Im funny
I think invective is funny
so do many people who discuss politics
people in this nation under 60 use the same level of invective that I do every day
Its who the people are
I talk to the real people in the same way they talk
I make it entertaining
its why John Stewart, SNL and the likes of Colbert get and got listened to
YOU WILL NEVER CONVINCE ME TO NOT CUSS
give it up
we are different
I get through to more people than you do
don't be jelly
Don't be silly, of course I am! Crank your bike and get your butt over here, we have lines to pave!

Some of us here think you are plum bat-shit crazy, but I agree with you. Your posts are probably more read the PoliBabbles.

Hello evince,
If you think this place is a contest that's your bag.
I think of it differently.
There is no 'winning' here.
For me it is a place to politely discuss the business of our nation, and a place to learn what motivates people, and what's going on.
The people who are motivated by insults are less interesting to me than the people who are well informed and able to discuss with mutual respect.
And I will mention another facet of this.
If you surround yourself with vulgar people then that has an effect on you.
It has to do with human habits.
I like to control my habits instead of letting them control me.
I am thus more able to keep my cool when others would lose it and make a fool of themselves.
And these habits are carried through in real life as well.
Makes for an easy-going character.
I am able to discuss politics with people of all views in real life without having it devolve into a shouting match.
I have many friends and acquaintances who are Trump fans.
I look beyond the facade and see the person behind.
I can certainly report that life is fabulous without all the anger, insults and bitter arguing.
Stress is a killer. It is wise to take steps to reduce stress.

people refuse to discuss politics
NO matter how submissive one is to them
The second they have to question what they already believe they spew anger
I tried for a very long time
Introduce a FACT they don't know and they lose their minds
I am female
I am very curvy and have all my life been treated like a sex object
catcalling
I have walked with other women in public to have them be amazed at the way men treat me
OTHER WOMEN
who have NEVER been cat called themselves
YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHO I AM
YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I HAVE BEEN THROUGH IN LIFE
I bet you are an 80 year old white man who has only lived around your religious white friends
I am NOT ALLOWED to discuss politics without people losing their minds with me
NO MATTER HOW GENTLE AND DEMURE I BEHAVE
I tried for YEARS
I came here and did the same thing
It was much better for awhile because I was SOOOOOO used to be shut down by people who could not accept a women who looked like me could be well versed in the facts of politics and history
then I realized they were USING my kindness to demean me the same way people used my looks to demean me in person.
KINDNESS IS SEEN AS WEAKNESS BY THESE PEOPLE
just like my curvy female form was USED as a weakness in real life
I have always been funny and made the people who REALLY GET TO KNOW ME laugh their butts off
NO ONE ever sees funny as a weakness for good reason
to be funny you have to have smarts
It was ONE way people would believe I had smarts
somehow being what the world considers "sexy" is OK combined with funny
But its not allowed to be coupled with well informed and politically insightful

you clearly have little depth in understanding people who are NOT EXACTLY LIKE YOU
the entire American society under the age of 60 (the post baby boomers) use invective in all of their discussions
do you watch movies?
do you listen to music?
you seem completely unware of who Americans are now
Invective is harmless
its funny
and everyone talks like that now
I very rarely use it in public
because when a woman is built like I am men often only hear AN INVITATION TO SEX unless I am very proper and motherlike to them.
often gay guys are the ones who accept me best
guess why?
they have no interest in sex with me
my kaboom has handicapped me all my life ( since puberty obviously)
YOU need to be more understanding of those who are NOT YOU
its funny but a Burka could have been an answer for me huh
be a ghost just so people could see ME
invective injected comedy is freedom for me dude
be insightful for a second in your life
Im sure you are just like the educated men I would meet who would take one look at me and start talking in smaller words
as if having kaboom means no brains
NO matter how submissive one is to them

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at the thought that hundreds, or thousands, of people read this board but don't post.
I can hear this interaction at home:
Husband: Hey Mabel, you want to go grab some dinner?
Mabel: No honey, I'm going to log on to JPP and see what TDAK and Jade Dragon have to say today.
