and I admit to being guilty of 'going low' - just as the First Lady (you know which one I mean!) suggested that we should 'go high' when they 'go low.'
Well, we've all seen over the years where THAT got us!
Remember when, after signing the 'Obamacare' bill then VP Biden leaned over and whispered "That's a F**king big deal!"
WHOA!
SO MANY knickers were twisted and the 'church ladies' wore out their tongues 'tsk-tsk-tsking'!
But IQ45/57 drops the 'F-Bomb' in one of his midnight toilet texts and everybody just goes "that's tRumb being tRump......"

As another poster said, I think it is a saturation of frustration - or, from a great movie: "I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna' take it any more!"

It IS sad, especially when you consider the history of government behavior on the job site: "I yield to the Gentleman from _______."
Then go watch the Congressional hearing with Pam Blondi!
Respect?
Honor?
Decorum?
I'm tempted to 'go low' and call her out again for that RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!

I agree - I miss the 'kinder, more gentle times' - but I can't believe we'll ever see those again until we rid ourselves of this SCUMBAG in the White House.
HE IS THE PROBLEM!!!!!!!!
