Well the way I see we don't agree on much. In fact we agree on very little. So I will say once again. To each their own and leave it at that. Agreed on very little, and argued quite frequently, but I respected you. Now I know I can skip your posts. Let me get this straight we disagree on how we each are going to view trump. I acknowledged that and that everyone has their opinion and I get this. Well ok.

I acknowledged that and that everyone has their opinion and I get this. Well ok. You showed Skybar no respect (not saying she deserved it) for name-calling Obama. She felt the same way about him that you do Trump. She felt her reasons were valid, so do you. I skip her posts because I find her constant belittling of President Obama to be insufferable. You said you were going to continue to call him names for the next four years. Why would I continue to put value on what you post, and quite frankly there have been many times my opinion has been either swayed, or at least I could see a few shades of grey after posting with you. I'm going to hold you to the same standards you and I, and pretty much most of the rest of the board held Skybar to. Seeing Tiny Hands, or Cheeto in Chief or Orange whatever makes you seem petty, and quite frankly I always thought you were better than that.

I am a fairly left leaning Democrat who would never have voted for Trump. However, I agree on the name calling. I cringed for 8 years when Skybar posted her rants about Obama and called him names and I am cringing now when it is going the same way with Trump. Everyone has the right to post as he/she sees fit, but personally, I think it makes it harder to take that poster seriously.
I am trying to live by the motto.... "when they go low, we go high". Because really, I don't want to be associated with the crap.

jonda, is there some reason you feel compelled to pop in here every few months and set all us little ladies straight? ^^^ thanks for asking this; I was wondering the same thing myself, actually!
eta: and as for my opinion of name calling, to me it's not the name calling that bothers me about Skypea's posts; she can call President Obama 'dear leader' all she wants, for all I care. It's the substance of what she posts (the fact that it was made-up crap with no basis in fact) that made me skip her posts. Sticks and stones, and all that. With Trump, it's the same way. I don't care WHAT anyone calls him or doesn't call him; what I concern myself with is what he's actually DOING. For someone to lose respect for a poster only because they want to call someone a name is kind of nonsensical to me.
