What about the Monkeys during the Summer of Love?

I wish we held all politicians to the same standards. Regardless of party

They call themselves trusted professional journalists. 9th grade A/V kids do better reporting on student government.

[billballeza]

I don’t know. Calling people “monkeys” is so uniting.

[kenthering]

“Trump monkeys” Well there’s an unbiased commentary. We must be getting close to what really happened.

[MattSpoon]

The Big Lie is being told by those who use the term Big Lie. He who smelt it dealt it.

The party of Tolerance calling people Monkeys ? 🤔

“There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution.”

They just can not stop. Driving this country right off a cliff.

[dandavis]

Sometimes, you don't even need "they live" glasses.

[Manmodor]

"Legal experts"... Also known as a lady with a opinion

[billymania]

Yep when you begin losing the argument, proceed to personal attacks. It's a dead give away.

[americast]

nothing says inclusion and unity like calling somebody you disagree with a monkey...

[cryptojoe]

Difference between conspiracy theory and fact is 6 months. 🤦‍♂️

[rcjabroniyup]

We the people should demand to see surveillance footage from that day.

[fpskiller]

the tarmac meeting is just a "matter"

[TheCaptnpirate]

This headline on another source would be blasted as being racially motivated yet here it’s OK……disappointing

[NYG]

I love hearing about "the rule of law" from either party. You mean the rule of law governing the peasants, not the elite and their pawns
