B: This is not politics. It is a discussion on achievements and insight.The campaign was politics and there was no civility there. There seldom is.

[@RawStickySweet]

@Douglas Faria And we now have the ultimate creepy womanizer. Civility and finding common bonds despite political differences isn't "phony" it's called being respectful and acting like a rational fucking human being. At the end of the day, most people have more in common than what they don't have in common.....no matter what Trump wants you to believe. Trump has fanned the flames of paranoia and conspiracy like none other. He's a master at that and it's proven to be incredibly dangerous and absolutely detrimental to this country. He constantly acts as if he's a victim. It's all about him. His "fan base" are just his sheep he uses to boost his ego, nothing more. He gives zero fucks about those people, let's be real honest here. Caring about power and influence comes with the territory of running for president obviously but it consumes Trump. That's his ultimate goal, there's nothing altruistic in his goals for the country.

[@cole-trickle50]

The Democrats brought us to this point . They forgot the other side matters so Trump got elected . He might be a pompous ass at times but he isn't going to take any crap and he will push back . If you want civility back remember where the middle of the aisle is . Without the middle things will remain the same and the country will stand Divided !!

[@gregrock7451]

I'm old enough to somewhat remember the Jimmy Carter administration; I was a kid, not exactly politically astute, but I do recall his tenure as not being a great one (though that could be my Dad's fault).Though looking back in later years, it seems that my recollections were somewhat accurate; the guy just wasn't an effective leader in that position. Nevertheless, I've long admired and respected Jimmy Carter the man, if not the President. Say what you will, Carter was a deeply principled, ethical, and moral man. Ironically, I think that those qualities were his biggest liabilities during his time in office; American politics is not an arena that tends to reward people who heed the better angels of their nature.

[@3dpixel583]

That's generally the most widespread and worst sentiment among Americans. " I don't like (President's name) as President, but I do like him personally. It reflects very much on the psychic of average Americans. A psychic very similar to a child that complain while holding a plate of food, because his siblings was given some of his favourite foods. They don't know how to compromise. Every presidents before Trump knows how to compromise by working cross-party.

I've come to realize that the key to amassing wealth lies in making sound investments. I purchased my first home at the age of 21 for $87,000 and sold it for $197,000. My second home, acquired for $170,000, was later sold for $320,000, and my third property, purchased at $300,000, fetched $589,000, with buyers covering all closing costs and expenses.
