    Yes cause what a member of Congress says to a crowd is totally comparable to what a private citizen says in a private conversation.

        And he was WRONG to do that.. What I notice is the SHEEP on both sides, defend the bad behavior of their people, by pointing out behavior they criticized in others. Making them SHEEP and HYPOCRITS

        Not giving a fuck and succumbing to a civility-test when we are in the throes of so many substantive affronts to social, democratic and ethical norms is NOT the same as defending anything. I just can't care. They've done so much actual evil that this simply doesn't rate.

        Remember that when your lose in 20/20 because instead of showing some value to non-political voters that makes the real choices every 4 years, you look like more broken politics. You can not resist "evil" by following its lead.

        Real profanity is elsewhere. Remember that. If Americans want to vote for children in cages and peoply dying withough insulin because they can only hear the maledicta of politicians on one side and not the other, then they wanted to racist, xenophonic greedheads. From jump.

        By civility, you mean we will perhaps eschew taking small chlidren and putting them in cages, or arranging it so that diabetics can die without insulin? The profanity that matters here is not in the word choice.

        They don't actually care about it. This "dumb" scandal is 100% phony hanky-twisting. Because rightwingers are opportunistic hacks.

        Basically he said that what a congressman says to a crowd of people isn’t the same as a private citizen having a private conversation. Never mind trump was wearing a microphone
