You're looking to an idividual with 98% negative press to be a healer? As I've said thats not how he got there in the first place. You may as well be waiting for Dave to embrace Netanyahu.

Heal the division? Define your terms.

Exactly what divisions are we looking to "heal"? Are we looking for compitualtion to the leftist? To soothe that beast?

Several people added a smiley and they obviously understood exactly what I meant.

I'm looking for a POTUS who acts like one in a time of national crisis. Something Trump does not do. Right now we have a tremendous amount of hostility coming from both sides. It really isn't difficult to understand there is a real problem.

Im certain he appreciates the message board old fashion.

If you don't mind (even if you do) I'd like to get back to our Trump conversation.

We can play later.

The one where he was still alive and going to go public and endorse Trump? I don't think anyone in here was actually pedlding that one, but I don't think It Hurts was posting around that time and he is extra special so who knows

It would have nothing to do with my popularity amongst you. 🤣

You can look for and hope for whatever you want. Its more likely you wouldn't be able to accept any measure he provided that fell short of your expectations.

I dont disagree that there is a problem but it is one that wasn't created over night. Your second problem is consequence. Trump isn't going anywhere for three years.

Do you feel that the embraced leftist are interested in the desires to "tone it down"? I see no evidence of that whatsoever.

As long as their ideology continues to be fostered and embraced there will be no shortage of opposition.

That is an interparty squabble that has yet to take place.

To be fair some liberals are calling for that "squabble" but being ostracized instead of being considered.

I'm not asking for much. Just a POTUS that works to bring calm to a nation in a time of storm. Presidents tend to do that but not Trump.

There is plenty of blame to go around as to how we got here, agreed. Did you forget you are debating with one of the board's biggest "both siders"?

I've seen plenty of people on the left trying to "tone it down". In any case, it all starts at the top.

"The killer is someone on your side.” If there’s a better single sentence that suns up this entire thing, I have yet to see it.

Btw, You do not see any politicians on the left publicly calling this guy anything. Maybe it’s the whole due process thing? Ya know the one the constitution grants you where you shouldn’t be labeled, publicly tried and then thrown out of the country or in jail before anybody does any actual investigation and can formalize charges. Oh right you don’t believe in such a thing. You labeled him right away before knowing literally anything and your side hasn’t backed off of any of that yet despite the mountain of contradictions (posted here and through many other public channels) to the story we’re being fed and expected to believe. If this guy was brown skin he’s be long gone to some jungle cage by now.

No I haven't. Likely the very reason our conversation hasn't devolved into a classic CVON pIssing match.

Will toning it down solve the problem or merely soothe the beast.

Am I not an aggressive counter puncher on this board when I see fit? Are we not having a civil conversation?

Not to long ago did Trump not have what was described as a civil conversation with Bill Maher?

How was that received?

Cute throwback coding response.

#retro

it's not a real word but use linguistics to speculate a plausible definition of the word "compitualtion"

ChatGPT

Response 1

Sure — let’s break it down like a linguist would and try to reverse-engineer a plausible meaning.

---

Morphological Breakdown

The word "compitualtion” looks like it has:

• com- (Latin prefix): "together,” "with,” "jointly”

• -pit-: could come from Latin pitus (rare), but more likely evokes pit (hole, depression) or pet/put (seek, think, reckon)

• -ual-: adjectival/nominalizing element, as in gradual, virtual, suggesting "relating to”

• -tion: nominalizing suffix, forming a process or result noun

So, compitualtion feels like "the act or process of X, involving something done together or collectively.”

---

Phonetic/Orthographic Clues

• The stressed syllable is likely pit: com-PIT-ual-tion.

• Its rhythm matches words like computation and capitulation, suggesting it might describe a complex or formal process.

• The extra u before -altion gives it a slightly Latinate, scholarly tone, like a technical or philosophical term.

---

Semantic Speculation

Based on these clues, some plausible speculative meanings could be:

1. Collective reckoning or mental synthesis

   • Similar to computation, but more social/collaborative — "the process of jointly arriving at an understanding.”

   • Example: The committee’s hours of debate led to a final compitualtion of principles.

2. Joint descent or convergence into a shared state

   • Drawing from pit = "depth” → "falling together,” "collapsing into a common point.”

   • Example: The argument ended in total compitualtion, leaving both sides in the same pit of despair.

3. A ritualized gathering around a central void or absence

   • Could be used metaphorically in anthropology/religious studies.

   • Example: The tribe’s yearly compitualtion honored the sacred well.

---

Most Plausible Candidate

If we try to make it sound like a real academic term, the most natural definition might be:

compitualtion (n.) – the collective process of reckoning, deciding, or synthesizing information, often resulting in a single unified conclusion.

This keeps the "com-” = together, "pit” = reckon/think (like compute), and makes it a parallel to computation but with a more collaborative or deliberative nuance.

---

Want me to write a mock dictionary entry (IPA pronunciation, part of speech, example sentences) so it feels official?

Here’s a polished, dictionary-style entry for compitualtion that feels as if it belongs in a serious lexicon:

---

compitualtion

/ˌkɒm.pɪˈtʃuː.əl.ʃən/ noun

1. The collective process of reckoning, deciding, or synthesizing information; the act of arriving at a shared conclusion through deliberation or joint mental effort.

2. Figurative: A convergence or collapse of multiple views, arguments, or entities into a single, unified outcome.

---

Etymology:
From pseudo-Latin com- (“together”) + pit (modelled on putare, "to reckon, prune, settle”) + -ual (“relating to”) + -tion (“process, result”). Coined to parallel words like computation and capitulation but emphasizing collaboration rather than calculation or surrender.

---

Example sentences:

• After hours of heated debate, the panel reached a state of compitualtion, producing a single, unanimous recommendation.

• The novel’s ending represents a compitualtion of its many narrative threads, tying every character’s fate into one moment of revelation.

• Corporate strategy meetings are designed to force a compitualtion of diverse opinions into a coherent plan.

Toning things down is always the way to start when trying to sort out a heated situation.
