I get hot too easily and I become unhinged when I get into political debate. Considering I am a bit outnumbered on here, you can see why that happens often and deeply.

i will work on that, but don't get the idea that I am a trump zealot. I am in favor of the investigations and I hope we get to the bottom of it, and I am disappointed that many of the associates have shady pasts and financial practices.

I am not the hot head, alt right pepe warrior my short temper makes me out to be.

Marty,

Political debates typically get heated. Many of your posts are fairly reasonable even if I don't agree with the conclusion. You are no EnglishPete or JJC, FWIW

That said, this probably belongs in Forum Community

No worries.

I apologize for being a d*ck to you. Contrary to impressions I would love to defend a conservative Republican administration (including on immigration and the war on radical Islam) and that's partially behind my own anger with that this administration.  Especially since I agree on several issues -- but their behavior makes it hard to do so with the clear conscience I would with President Walker or Rubio. I come off as more intemperate and rude as a result of my disappointment as I was telling someone here.

If this was another presidency with less alt right ties and no Russian ties the Left would hate me more than EnglishPete, I suspect. I'd much rather debate the liberals than fight over Trump.

No harm, no foul. Again I apologise for being rude to you and I'll try to be more diplomatic with you.

I feel like I should apologize too if I have offended or hurt anyone, too. I try not to get too unhinged, but sometimes I do (See: last two pages of BREAKING: Trump fires Comey) when people say things that just really get me going.  Echoing marty, I also favor investigations into Trump and am not a 100% follower of literally everything he says or does. I'm relatively new here (6 months), so I don't want to make too many enemies.

I do recall you being pretty conservative when you first wrote Between a two Majorities some years ago. Props for sticking to your guns even with an administration from a party you'd normally favor

Same goes for me. I apologize for getting heated with others too and for going off at you sometimes.

Never apologize, never back down, never show weakness.

Everyone here has been a d-bag at least once this past week. Smiley

Me included.
I think marty did a very honorable thing here.
I for one, can say that I have a new level of respect for the dude. Now how long that will last ..... well, this is to be seen.
8-)

Well said Mr marty !
