Hillary Clinton says civility cannot start until Democrats win the Congress
In recent weeks we have seen the Democratic leaders ramp up the violent rhetoric to the point where the left is harassing Senators and Trump administration officials at restaurants, Democratic aides are doxxing Republican Senators who are now receiving death threats, and #KillKavanaugh is a thing.
If this keeps up it is only a matter of time until somebody is seriously hurt or worse. Hillary Clinton was asked about the lack of civility on the left and she basically said if you want us to be civil you have to vote for us. Here is what she said:
“You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about,” Clinton said in an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour. “That’s why I believe, if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and or the Senate, that’s when civility can start again. But until then, the only thing that the Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength.”
Instead of trying to defuse a situation I fear is growing dangerous she is condoning and encouraging it. Give us what we want and we will play nice. But here is a question using Hillary Clinton’s logic: if you cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for doesn’t that give the Republicans the okay to be uncivil with the Democrats if the Democrats take back control of the Congress? Or is that different?

Declare Marshall Law, send in the military to extinguish the militants, round up the survivors, put the democrats i congress under house arrest with no communication to the outside world, bulldoze every ACLU office, send the treasonous bastards to work in the poppy fields and coke kitchens of the Mexican cartels, raze the UN HQ and deport all the third world tinhorns who populate it and….did we leave anything out? Oh yeah….confiscate all Soros’ holdings and send him back to Hungary on a freighter dressed in concentration camp PJ’s.

I’d like to see all the money they’ve stolen be put back in the kitty and with the over flow, give us each 150k for putting up w/ them.

We left out the Clinton’s and Obama’s: Nationalize The Clinton Crime Family Foundation and put its assets into the US Treasury, jail the Clintons including Chelsea, ban Mooch from KFC, take away the Obamas’ twin beds and give them one full size to share and as the ultimate punishment put them on Obamacare with a $100,000 deductible.

I wonder what hilly’s definition of “civility” is?
Probably not:
1. The state of being civilized; refinement of manners; applied to nations; as distinguished from the rudeness of barbarous nations.
2. Good breeding; politeness; complaisance; courtesy; decorum of behavior in the treatment of others, accompanied with kind offices, and attention to their wants and desires. civility respects manners or external deportment, and in the plural, civilities denote acts of politeness.
“What’s that bunk?” 🤣

Her definition of civility is, agree with us and do what we say and nothing will happen to you. It is her version of making an offer we cannot refuse…

Yes, and ‘lying’ about that part “nothing will happen to you!”
Brings to mind the image of a german/nazi interrogator, with the long filter with a burning cig, holding it in a particular way – arrogantly leaning down, with a wicked grin, speaking into the prisoner’s ear, sitting in a chair, “You ‘vell do as we say … or else!”

For anyone who hasn’t already realized it, a civil war has been declared.
The Liberals aren’t content with allowing our Democratic Republic to work as it was designed, they are insisting that they must be allowed to dictate their preferred changes. Look around at the news, they’re even talking about eliminating the Electoral College and making other changes in the Constitution.
With the increasing violence of the Left, we are looking at a very real civil war. Violent words are appearing even in casual conversations. There are no front lines. It’s all guerilla hit and run tactics. Watch your backs.

I wish I could disagree with you but I cannot, the left has gone beyond justifiable political dissent and they are justifying violence. The worst part of it in my opinion is the fact that this is not just some wackos out there, this is being pushed by the Democratic leaders.
Stay safe my friend.

Serious political leaders. It’s been easy to write off Maxine Waters (her district is a few miles North of me) as just another loud mouthed looney, but we have Eric Holder as well as Hillary Clinton. I don’t like him, but I also know he is not a man to be laughed at.
It seems as Trump actually manages to accomplish some desirable things, the Libs get nastier. We have known about the bias of CNN and the New York Times for some years, but now we’re learning that our suspicions about the internet giants are very true. This is the latest revelation about Google:

YouTube has pulled some fast ones as well. I’m a fan of both Hickok45 and IraqVeteran8888. Check their YouTube videos on the subject of censorship. The problem with the internet is that it can easily be shut down or filtered. China has done some great work in the field and Google is helping them.
We have a new Establishment to fight. A very nasty combination of big name politicians, dark money and media of all kinds.

Yeah, I think you nailed it about the internet being easy to filter and it is finally coming to light exactly what they have been up to. We have been worried about them coming after bloggers and other internet sites for awhile but it looks like they are working behind the scenes to “shadow” ban stuff they don’t want out there. Thanks for the tip on those people to check out on YouTube.
