No thanks. You told us how deeply you despise Trump in Post 73. I don’t need more of it, and I doubt anyone else does other than those who delight in it.

I have not heard a more evasive, quibbling excuse for Trump’s obscene statement. If what he said was so accurate, why did he, in this rare instance, apologize to his family about it?

Right - the definition of who a Republican is now depends on one’s personal loyalty to Donald Trump (not on any conservative principles like belief in the free market). I don’t remember that ever happening with any other president. This is how things work in banana republics, and it’s scary to see how quickly it’s taken root here.
My prediction is that once Trump is gone, this will all fall apart because his movement is personality-based.

I disagree. Reagan was castigated for supposedly taking the party too far to the right and excluding the “more moderate” elements (Rockefeller Repubs) from the party. Also, on the Dem side, lots of Dems were effectively cast out during the George McGovern era. And surely one is aware of the Dem convention mess of 1968. Also, the Dem party’s total embrace of abortion during the Clinton era excluded a significant number of Catholic Democrats.

That’s hilarious. Watch the mainstream media much??? They seem to demonize those who do support him!
And what Democrat supporters don’t seem to understand, is that their candidates life positions are so reprehensible, that Trump’s behavior and personality traits pales in comparison to them. Rendering their vote for him a no-brainer.
And then there’s AOC. The future of the Democrat Party. A border line marxist. Member of the Democratic Socialists of America. Enough said! I’d vote for Elmer Fudd to block that!

Honestly, I think most Democrats are very aware of this.

Why would you think I said that when I said nothing of the sort. Let me repeat what I said:LeafByNiggle:
A misconstruction. You’re telling me the Catechism of the Catholic Church prohibits me from opening the door for a woman or requiring a translator to do business with one who cannot speak English.
When Sheriff Arpaio engaged in continually stopping Hispanic people and subjecting them to constant questioning, he abrogated their right to go about their business without interference - a right that non-Hispanic enjoyed.
The political right has already undermined confidence in the Post Office, the media, the medical experts, and the courts. Must they now turn to undermining confidence in the Catechism? Are there no lengths they will not go to advance their political aims?

Those “groupies” are women. They’re not objects. They’re human beings.FrankFletcher:
My terminology would be different. But if I had any real knowledge of “groupies” and if I was telling someone about their ways, I wouldn’t hesitate to describe them. It would depend on the person to whom I was saying it, of course.
He wasn’t talking about “women this way”, only “groupies”.

I think abortion is the greatest evil on this planet. For that reason, I get why so many Christians, Catholics included, have supported Trump. That said, I believe that these Christians are unwittingly doing real harm to the Republican Party, conservatism, and the pro-life movement…harm that may take many years to undo. With the absolute devotion to Trump and everything he says and does - even when its completely at odds with real conservative values and definitely at odds with Catholic values - the Christian Right has lost a lot of credibility. They’ve lost the moral high ground. Abortion is horrendous and must be fought at every turn…but by making an immoral, public adulterer, potty mouth, documented serial liar like Trump the poster boy of the pro-life movement and conservatism in general, the movement will be hurting for a very, very long time. When the dust settles, anyone and everyone who hitched their cart to the Trump horse may be in for some big surprises.
I could, with reservations, get behind ANYONE else in the party…even Mike Pence. Of all the choices, it had to be this man…it defies all logic…the cult of devotion around him is just the most bizarre thing I’ve ever seen in my life. For good Catholics to hear the terrible things that come out of his mouth and clap and applaud just floors me.

Which progressives do daily.
The plain facts are, every single things liberal/progressives/democrats/etc/etc/etc touch turn into garbage.
Every major city ran by those are turning into third world cities. The longer the democrats are in charge the more of a septic tank those cities become.
If these people get in charge you will see this country slowly become a toilet bowl, until the states step in and put an end to it.

The country is a toilet bowl. There is zero concern for the common good, and if you think that happened because of “progressives,” you haven’t been paying attention.

I agree. Especially when there were prolife Republican candidates campaigning and participating in the primaries.
They picked Trump.
Who said things like, “they’d have to go to illegal places”
MATTHEWS: What is ban – how do you ban abortion? How do you actually do it?
TRUMP: Well, you know, you go back to a position like they had where people will perhaps go to illegal places –
Great pro-life example.
