    It may be minor in the scheme of things, but Trump's degradation of the dignity of the presidency is nauseating.http://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/2017/06/29/trump-tweets-still-finds-ways-shock/GX5XspoOyghrFHIIox8s3O/story.html?event=event25 …

        Bill Clinton was getting blow jobs from a teenager in the Whitehouse. Going to be hard to top that.

        I would think you of all people would find it major? We learn from others and mimic leaders, frequently.

        Hard for me to take what I thought I learned from the socializing effect and not be worried about someone like Trump advocating for violence

        Advocating for violence? I assume you have evidence of this.

        Paying the legal fees is advocating for violence? So public defenders are encouraging gang violence then?

        You realize that throwing things is assault, so punching someone who's going to throw things at a speaker is defense of others, i.e., legal.

        He literally said, "knock the crap out of them," and then offered to pay the legal fees.

        Yeah, and *the major* takeaway from Better Angels of Our Nature is the Leviathan. You don't get to respond to violence with violence.

        Every moment we accept his occupancy of oval office we lose more of our own dignity. It's an insult, degrading to US all. #Nottrivial

        No. Just the opposite is true. Have some respect for the Presidency and The President. You're part of the problem Pete.
