Sorry but I have no idea what this means.I think there are differing opinions of the facts sometimes, or perceived opinions of the facts, whether right or wrong.

Going down where? Who's taking them down?Whatever the percentages, either nationally or on this bored, they're going down steadily.
I'm sorry you didn't understand.Sorry but I have no idea what this means.
One of the things that I actually appreciate about Trump is that he is slowly eroding the moral high ground once claimed by Christians in this country. He coerces Christians to repeatedly defend ideas and actions which would have been considered sacrilege just a few years ago.I agree with this. Key word "nominally".Personally, I would guess that the vast majority here are at least nominally Christian.
Ok. But only if you think that it's not accurate (nationally, not this bored, there's no way to verify that here). I could indeed be wrong but it won't be any trouble to come up with church attendance figures just for starters.Gotta have a link for that

I may be "nominally" Christian if you look at birth certificate, but I can assure you I am no longer a member of that cultPersonally, I would guess that the vast majority here are at least nominally Christian.

It would go a long way if our President would show some respect when referring to most people.It wo̴uld go a long wa̷y for people to show our president some respect when r̴eferring to him. If I call Hillary a pantsuit wearing crook or some other name (which I've stopped doing) I'll get jumped on by the anti-Tr̴ump clique. Meanwhile references t̴o̶ the Ora̷nge one, or any number of other disr̴espectful references to the President get high fives.
Maybe you should try to "jump on" people who are disrespectful to the president. I can't imagine how that might backfire on you.It wo̴uld go a long wa̷y for people to show our president some respect when r̴eferring to him.

This misses the point. The moderators of the board have asked us not to be disrespectful towards politicians being discussed, yet references to the "Orange" one and similar names are repeated endlessly.It would go a long way if our President would show some respect when referring to most people.
Respect is a 2 way street and for someone who blatantly shows lack of it getting some back is a stretch, regardless of the position that person holds
Btw for the record I would be with your sentiments 100% if Trump acted the way you’re asking.
I suppose your words are true on a technical level. Everyone stops doing something before they do it again.It wo̴uld go a long wa̷y for people to show our president some respect when r̴eferring to him.

Well she is a criminal. Very different from making comments about appearance, calling him orange or fat, or commenting on his intelligence.I suppose your words are true on a technical level. Everyone stops doing something before they do it again.
But don't act like you've got a recent track record of treating Hillary with respect when you called her a criminal three weeks ago.
At least make it through Sober February before proclaiming that you've changed your evil ways, okay?
Most are Democrats? That has never been the case in the past in this board...why now?I believe a political echo chamber such as this one is mostly a place where people congregate to discuss political topics and have similar political beliefs and opinions, but do disregard differing opinions or beliefs most of the time. Most posters here are democrats and have similar political beliefs and opinions and aren't very tolerant of differing opinions, or are very negative towards them. I'm not saying every liberal / democrat poster here is like that all the time. That is a fact IMO.
He is orange, fat, and has little intelligence. And, last I checked, she isn't a criminal. These are like baseline facts that need to be agreed upon to have any further discussion.Well she is a criminal. Very different from making comments about appearance, calling him orange or fat, or commenting on his intelligence.
Tweety AminAsking me to stop calling President Needy Amin names is a bridge too far.
No. Absolutely not. No way. Nope.It wo̴uld go a long wa̷y for people to show our president some respect when r̴eferring to him.
Trump deserves very little. I'm not ever sure Hillary really deserves all that much respect either. I will not give Trump any respect until he shows me he deserves it.It wo̴uld go a long wa̷y for people to show our president some respect when r̴eferring to him.

In response to allegations that Hillary Clinton is a criminal I posted tons of long, well-supported arguments as to why she was not. I did this despite being in a clear minority on this board. At no point did I complain about this place being a "conservative echo chamber." It was a heated but interesting discussion, and ultimately the Department of Justice has agreed with me. They even said that with respect to the most popular theory of her alleged criminality, it wasn't a close call.Well she is a criminal.

Hillary is pretty fat too. And not too bright she lost to trump. I don’t really care to debate these facts. What purpose do the insulting names serve other than show our inability to have an adult conversation. We could all grow up a little and improve the discussion around here.In response to allegations that Hillary Clinton is a criminal I posted tons of long, well-supported arguments as to why she was not.

If you'd like to do the same regarding allegations that Trump is orange, fat and stupid, I would welcome it.
I fully agree here, with the “we” being emphasized. The issues with the discussions around here are coming from both ends. Way to much talking at then talking with. Again both “sides” are doing this while pointing fingers the other way.Hillary is pretty fat too. And not too bright she lost to trump. I don’t really care to debate these facts.

Which makes you no better than him. If he’s so horrible why not be better?He doesn't show respect for the office or for others. Why should anyone respect him?
That isn't even debatable. It is obvious this board is primarily made up with Democrats by the posts that are made. I'm not blind you know. I don't really care that it is, but just pointing out what most here already know. I'm sorry you don't see that, but maybe you do and just have oppositional behavior disorder.Most are Democrats? That has never been the case in the past in this board...why now?
They're also confusing a difference of opinion on policy as personal disrespect. I disagreed with just about everything Obama did, but I was never personally disrespected by him.Which makes you no better than him. If he’s so horrible why not be better?
I think everyone knows Trump doesn't have a filter and it is something I dislike about him, as well as most. However, the promises he made during his campaign he is trying to fulfill and has come through on a lot of them. That is more than a lot of Presidents do. They make promises, then for one reason or another (like for the sake of national security, or some other reason) says they cannot fulfill some of those promises.They're also confusing a difference of opinion on policy as personal disrespect.

Great posting except the last sentence. That last sentence is a symptom of the echo chamber: You just lumped two groups of people who do not support Trump by definition in with the Trump supporters just because they take issue with some liberal ideas. You did it in that sentence and you did it to me personally just a few day ago in this very thread. You could have just left it with the fourth sentence, but, you just couldn't help yourself. In that sense it still is a liberal echo chamber.I don't believe that anyone here thinks that this board reflects the mainstream level of support for Trump.
The phrase "echo chamber" implies that the thoughts of one particular group bounce around from person to person without being challenged or changed.
By that definition, I think that in many ways this forum is an echo chamber. But it's not a liberal echo chamber. It's an anti-Trump echo chamber.
Because liberal ideas get challenged all the time in this forum. But the one subject that almost everyone in this forum tends to agree on....is Trump.
And that's a hard pill to swallow for the MAGA guys, the Gary Johnson voters, or the "I'm-not-really-a-Trump-supporter-but-you-liberals-are-all-hypocrites" guys.
Dude, anti-Trump is not synonymous with Democrat. I'm virulently anti-Trump. But I wouldn't register as a Democrat any sooner than I would register as a Republican. Which is to say, no way in hell, never ever ever.That isn't even debatable. It is obvious this board is primarily made up with Democrats by the posts that are made. I'm not blind you know.

I'm not the President. I'm not bringing disgrace to the United States or the White House. Our elected leaders should have a higher standard than a guy that works from home in his boxers, don't you think?Which makes you no better than him. If he’s so horrible why not be better?

It's truly a great gig. I'm on year 3 of working from home and I can't see how I'd ever be able to go back to an office environment. No commute, no set hours and few distractions. Once I train all of my clients to meet by video conference instead of in person, it will be even better.So now politicians are held in high esteem.....that's rich.

I'm in the same boat. I can work from home anytime I want, but usually only do most of it in the winter here in Minnesota. As I approach retirement I find this very comforting and productive.It's truly a great gig.

Will you put on a shirt and tie for these and go pantless? That's what I would do.It's truly a great gig.

No tie. I keep a couple dress shirts hanging on the back side of my home office door. I put one on over my t-shirt. To be honest, I'm usually in gym shorts, but sometimes if something comes up in the morning and I have to start sending emails I'll just go with the boxers through lunch. I don't put on pants for videoconferences.Will you put on a shirt and tie for these and go pantless? That's what I would do.

LOL, with respect you all your posts.Wow for once, possibly for the first time ever in this forum, I find myself agreeing a little bit with Butcher Boy.
I detest President Trump. I think he has disgraced the Presidency. Yet it’s still the Presidency. I don’t think he treats the office with the respect that it deserves, but that doesn’t mean we need to imitate him. By calling him President Trump I am respecting the office and my country.
By all reports, this is the POTUS too-fish- said:I'm not the President. I'm not bringing disgrace to the United States or the White House. Our elected leaders should have a higher standard than a guy that works from home in his boxers, don't you think?
This is a pretty clear example in microcosm of the mindset that all of us so-called Democrats have been railing against. This forum has been pretty middle of the road, if not slightly right-leaning politically for years.JohnnyU said:Just because you wouldn't register as either doesn't mean the majority of this forum doesn't.
