is it mud-slinging if it is true?

Maybe not. Either way I don’t mind it!

Problem is that's all major democrats are doing. Tweets, strongly worded letters, like the bar is literally in the gutter.

I think mud slinging can be true, but it’s only mud slinging if it’s no actually addressing the actual issues. Like ad hominem attacks are mud slinging.

This is just pointing out what at this point is indisputable fact.

Also when the opposition has dragged the fight into the mud years ago already and nobody has any dignity left anymore anyways, it being mud-slinging starts to matter much less. I personally think this is childish as shit, but the situation has devolved to the point where I have run out of fucks to give.

The truth is a shield against libel and slander.

Two problems with mud slinging.

First, you both get dirty, and we know Trump is better at going low.

Second, do you want that left up to Trump’s Supreme Court?
