Let's put Cricket in charge of policing hate posts like he suggested.

Let's see who can handle it and who can't.

I have confidence in my ability.

Way too late. We now live in the world of politics of hate and this is a big money business with billionaires willing to spend billions to sow hate taking advantage of the general discontent. The media has become willing participants and then to add fuel to the fire, there is the unregulated social media that can take a life on its own.

So its "if your are not with me is against me" and 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend".
How else can a guy like Trump ever get elected President of USA?
Politics of division and Trumpism (gutter politics).

I think a lot of credit for that has to go to the Democratic establishment for rigging their nomination for zero charisma loser candidate Hillary Clinton who promised "Same shit, different day" when the voters were demanding change.

I shall not speak ill of Hillary, may she find peace and tranquility in Chappaquiddick.

Uh, thanks for the vote of confidence, but I don't think I could handle that kind of godly like power. I would be an abusive deity.

Actually Tom, with all seriousness, I wish you lived closer to me. I would invite you out for a cup of coffee. I disagree with most of your posts, but I have to say you do have a passion for your beliefs.

It's easy to be passionate when you don't give a fuck.
