So, Now You Want Civility?

https://johnpavlovitz.com/2018/06/26/so-now-you-want-civility/

Civility.

That’s the card you’re pulling now?
That’s where you’ve landed?
That’s your go-to play at this stage of the game?
It’s a little late for you to roll that out now, isn’t it?

After voting for a self-proclaimed genitalia-grabber.
After he suggested dissenters at his rallies should be beaten up.
After hearing him call violent nazis “fine people.”
After he bulldozed sacred Native American lands and turned frigid hoses on tribe elders.
After he ignored mass deaths in Puerto Rico and vilified their public servants.
After he began dismantling protections to our planet and shrinking our national parks.
After witnessing Flint, Michigan go without clean water.
After watching exhausted refugee families stranded at airports.
After leveraging religion to justify all manner of discrimination.
After ignoring evidence of a Russian interference that threatens our national sovereignty.
After seeing ICE raids in hospital rooms and workplaces.
After his gross, reckless fabrications about Muslims and Mexicans and immigrants.
After witnessing him work tirelessly to take healthcare from the sick and the poor.
After he vilified kneeling black athletes and badgered their employers into silencing their peaceful protest.
After his unhinged Twitter rants against private citizens and their businesses, against celebrities and political opponents and world leaders.
After terrorizing teenage shooting survivors on social media.
After allowing the radicalized Christian right and soulless NRA gun zealots to shape national policy.
After sanctioning Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller and Sebastian Gorka and Jeff Sessions.
After retweeting the toxic filth of Dana Loesch and Laura Ingraham and Ann Coulter.
After celebrating while he’s alienated our greatest allies and aligned with malevolent dictators.
After your silence in the face of migrant children being ripped from their parent’s arms and placed in dog kennels.
After digging in your heels for the past two years on every bit of it.

Now you want to pretend to be civilized?
Now want to talk about measured debate?
Now you want to wag your finger at us for being disrespectful?
Now you want to shame us for our supposed lack of manners?
Now you want to gaslight us into guilt and apology—as if we’ve lost our dignity, as if we’ve sacrificed our humanity, as if we’ve bastardized our religion, as if we’re the ones impervious to other people’s feelings.

With all due respect—to hell with your phony civility.

No, you don’t get to play that card. That request is off the table for you.
You lost that moral high ground somewhere between excusing his mocking of a disabled reporter—and celebrating brown-skinned kids in cages.
Your lengthy, sickening body of work over the past two and a half years is the greatest witness of your fraudulence.

You don’t really want civility, anyway. That’s not what you’re asking for. If you were simply asking for that, we wouldn’t have an issue.

Such a retard.

But Skids, isn't that Whataboutism?

Oh now, this is rich.

The skidmarked underwear primitive is the older middle-aged melancholy disconsolate farm wife from eastern Iowa, but as I was watching her more than ten years ago, maybe she's no longer "older middle-aged," but "old."

It was sometime during the second administration of George Bush that some Republican candidates running for office in Virginia were participating in a panel discussion about something at a Unitarian church, and the members of that church threatened them with violence and bodily harm, after which the outnumbered Republicans barely escaped alive.

The skidmarked underwear primitive suggested she'd like to see more of this sort of thing, this intimidation and thuggery.

<<<has long memory.

This happened in 2016 and earlier. Blame Obama.

After he ignored mass deaths in Puerto Rico and vilified their public servants.

Trump sent massive aid, and PR "public servants" obstructed and skimmed off aid for political and personal profit. Those same PR "public servants" are the ones who significantly understated the death toll attributable to the hurricane and the damage it did.

After witnessing Flint, Michigan go without clean water.

This happened years before Trump became POTUS. Blame Obama.

Trump was inaugurated in January, 2017. But John Pavlovitz and Skid have shown a consistent lack of Math skills. But as my signature says,

Civility would be nice, however I would prefer to pepper spray you, then hit you with a stun gun, then lock you up for a few months.

FOAD, Skids.
That's all the civility you're going to get.

  Realy if you're going to post an obnoxiously long post, shouldn't you do a little fact checking first.   Heads up to Skidmore, the little girl on the cover of Time was never separated from her parents by the US govt' .  Just thought I'd keep you from making a bigger ass of yourself.

Whoever this John Pavlovitz is that wrote this nonsense, he has some major mental issues coupled with his immaturity.

He seems to be a minister in the very liberal American Baptist Church denomination and an author/blogger.

He's just some moonbat pastor of some megachurch in North Carolina;

yes, Mary is 68 now, a little younger than Christine but her husband is 87 years old. I know what would make Skidmark feel better, donate (waste) another hundred dollars to the Cindy Axe for Congress campaign:

Get back to us when a conservative shoots up a baseball field, moonbat.

Make sure the pepper spray is the alcohol based stuff. Then there is the chance of a fireball with the stun gun or taser.

I know where a hermetically sealed pair of underwear from Elvis and his first motorcycle ride complete with skidmarks are.  Call the DoD for more info...
