I should have expanded more on my reply, but I don't have to now because you summed it up perfectly. I think the ability to lighten up on Bush and his time in office is a result of a comparison to what is currently occurring.
Not perfect like my phone calls.Sinn Fein said:
Earlier you said you didn't understand why people with differing political views can't get along.
yes
no
This is gonna blow your mind....I'm not "the left"
Perhaps read the actual words I put out there for you to read instead of making stuff up?I think you are confusing "political" leanings - with being a ########.
No problem at all with Elle and George hanging out and I agree, many of the people you see on TV arguing, or people in congress from the right and left are friends off camera. I remember John Conyers once said at a Detroit City Council meeting we argue with each other on the Hill and then go drink with each other after. It is like the WWF at times, you have to be passionate and mad to pander to your base be it real or not.
Fair enough. You said voting for Trump gives him a pass, not that you agree. So yeah, I guess you can be friends with a Trump voter.yes
no
This is gonna blow your mind....I'm not "the left"
Again, perfect world thats true. But when people say "I would NEVER be a friend of a person who votes for Trump" Without digging down into why that person voted for him, then this is just lying.
I agree.She had to know. I'm certain there is information given to anyone who is about to be in a room with any President, current or former. "You can do this, you can't do that etc etc."
I think so. One is an official visit with the pomp and circumstance and especially the official use of the office of President. This isn't.
I think yes...this is meeting a former President not while he is office.
Agreed. But I think think that's what I mean when I say I'm worried we're too far off.These statements from Ellen are great:
"Here’s the thing," she added. "I’m friends with George Bush. In fact, I’m friends with a lot of people who don’t share the same beliefs that I have. We’re all different and I think that we've forgotten that that’s OK."
DeGeneres continued: "When I say 'be kind to one another,' I don’t mean only the people that think the same way that you do. I mean be kind to everyone. Doesn’t matter."
I have plenty of people who I know that voted for Trump that are still friends of mine. It's also true that I know plenty of people who voted for Trump that I am no longer friends with. The former see what he's done from a moral perspective and said never again essentially. The latter is a group who has seen what he's done from a moral perspective and continue to support him and support him vigorously. Whether they agree lock step with him on political issues is immaterial. They clearly don't have a problem with his moral bankruptcy enough to vote him out (they can insert whatever excuse here that they choose).
I think going to a football game is very different from, and way better than, going to the White House, regardless of who the President is.
Im imperfect...no doubt. I believe she is right...but part of me may not hate them, but find it hard to respect or be kind to those who refuse to be respectful and be kind in return.
Washington plays Miami this weekend, and I don't think you've sufficiently updated your priors to account for that.
I am left wondering just how big Portia's purse was, and why the cheesehead was not confiscated at security.
This is not widely known - but in retirement, GWB has become "artsy"
I wish our culture could move past feeling the need to respond to random Twitter users. Most of their opinions are worthless.
Yes, but I think it's just such an easy article to write up and get clicks for that journalists and editors can't resist.
It is not hard to be kind and show respect. I think it is great for people with different views to sit and talk and maybe end up enjoying each other company.
It’s because some people seem to want to be upset by far too much. I looked at some of the comments on twitter from her followers and it’s ridiculous. They are the people that give liberals a bad name. To claim you’re the side that is more tolerable just sounds hypocritical it times like these.
I have friends and family that are die hard Trump supporters. I don't understand it and think they are wrong but I am not going to let that screw up my relationships with them. We just have a disagreement of opinion and life is too short -- best to just avoid the subject of politics.
