Re: Trump. And why I hate him.
Maybe when he said President Obama was born in Africa, that was uncivil, right?
Or when he said Mexicans are rapists. Seem pretty uncivil.
Or, when he degraded everyone around him, in order to feed his perverse narcissism. Which he does every day. How anyone can look at this and not be disgusted is the real question.

Re: Trump. And why I hate him.
Well Trump sure is a drama queen!!
18 years ago I made one of the most important decisions of my life and entered a local Cambodian Buddhist Temple as a temple boy and, for only 3 weeks, an actual Therevada Buddhist monk. I am not a scholar, great meditator, or authority on Buddhism, but Buddhism is something I love from the Bottom of my heart. It has taught me sobriety, morality, peace, and very importantly that my suffering is optional, and doesn't have to run my life. I hope to give back what little I can to the Buddhist community, sincerely former monk John

Re: Trump. And why I hate him.
I'd say he is a psychopathic liar and a delusional narcissist. "Drama Queen" is too easy. This guy is a total wreck of a human being. How anyone cannot see that in one tenth of a second astounds me. But, many things people believe also astound me in their stupidity.

Metta,

Being genuinely non-partisan gives a distinct advantage in political betting markets.
Re: Trump. And why I hate him.
My prediction was that people would not be so stupid, but I was wrong.
Not sure what make me more upset--my wrongness, or the stupidity of people.
No, change that. I'm ok with being wrong sometimes. But I so hate stupidity.

Complaining about Trump the way you do is what a drama queen does.

Re: Trump. And why I hate him.
At least Alan's not delusional about Trump, Trump is a real and present menace to democracy as we know it, not only in the USA but in the world in general!!

Re: Trump. And why I hate him.
I think it's silly already that it's apparently up for debate whether politics is compatible with Buddhism, but hatred? Cmon. You should know that animosity does no good. Actually, it's evil.
Born, become, arisen – made, prepared, short-lived
Bonded by decay and death – a nest for sickness, perishable
Produced by seeking nutriment – not fit to take delight in
Departure from this is peaceful – beyond reasoning and enduring
Unborn, unarisen – free from sorrow and stain
Ceasing of all factors of suffering – stilling of all preparations is bliss

Re: Trump. And why I hate him.
https://thinkprogress.org/trump-exceedi ... 313a64e38/Throughout Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and after his election victory, lobbyists for the fossil fuel industry felt confident the new president would be on their side. Given his penchant for unpredictability, though, industry officials still needed to see the new president in action before they gave him their official seal of approval.
So far, Trump is passing with flying colors. ...

Greetings,
Ironic given how some regard "hate" speech...
Metta,
Paul.
What?... Back to hating Trump, and ignoring the Buddha's instructions regarding hatred and aversion?

Re: Trump. And why I hate him.
Is this suggesting there was no US fossil fuel exploration & industry, including fracking for tight gas, under Obama?
