As we all know, planning and preparation are key to a successful holiday dinner with family; most especially with family members we know take a rather “different” view of politics than we do.
And because nothing makes for a more joyous holiday meal, rich in the warm glow of satisfaction, and easing the digestion like kicking the snot out of pontificating liberal family members, I submit to you my fellow FReepers, a rhetorical gift: my formula for a joyous Christmas dinner.
It goes something like this:
The guy you hate has made a whole bunch of public promises that, at this point, no one can argue he isn’t doing his level best to deliver on, and has been quite successful in doing so, but I’m supposed to believe we need to investigate all manner of shady business he’s done behind-the-scenes.Feel free to garnish to taste.However, the guy you like made a whole bunch of public promises that turned out to be lies to get him what he wanted which he never would have gotten if he’d been truthful, but I’m supposed to believe he did nothing shady behind-the-scenes, and no investigation was necessary.
This leads to one of two inescapable conclusions. Either you don’t care what anyone (presumably, including yourself) says or does so long as you get the result you wanted, or you’re an idiot.
In either case, nothing you have to say regarding politics is worthy of consideration by anyone who has a brain, or a conscience.
Y'all stay home and feed yourselves.
Boy ..... that was easy.
I intend to argue about global warming with my dogs.
“We aren’t going to be talking politics in this house today. If you can’t refrain from doing so, I’ll have to ask you to please leave.”
Works on family and anyone they might bring to dinner.
My wife’s family has realized over the years that talking politics to me is a fruitless effort. My in-laws who are Jewish would vote for Hitler if he had a “D” next to his name. About 20 years ago, in an argument at Passover no less I said that to them after they made some stupid comment about Reagan. We didn’t talk for 10 years.
My liberal wife won’t talk politics with me. She will say something and when I respond the hands go over the ears with “LALALALALA I CAN’T HEAR YOU.” For Hanukkah, we ate at my gay Sister in-laws house. She had CNN on the entire dinner. I didn’t say a word. They bashed Trump again because he’s a p*$$y grabber. I merely said, “please pull up YouTube and show me exactly where he said this. If you are referring to the locker room talk, he never said he did.” LALALA I CAN’t HEAR YOU” they all cried.
Want a nice Christmas with the family? Turn off the TV, eat your dinner and every chance you get thank the Lord for this fine bounty. Be grateful to the Lord for everything he has provided the family. Whenever a sentence is finished, say, “Amen.”
And let it go at that. Any libs at the table will be thoroughly ticked off and there isn’t a thing they can say since it is Christmas and they are sharing a holiday meal in your home.
It is not binary, as they are both idiots and uncaring. In short they are LEFTists!
“... I intend to argue about global warming with my dogs..”
Dang, S.. you know they always win every argument.. why bother? :)
My dogs never talk back so it’s all good.
:D
I don’t go anywhere for Christmas and I don’t allow libs in my house so all of this pretty much moot, for me.
It’s just me, the ol’ man, the dogs and the snakes.
Two of those don’t talk and one knows better than to talk out of turn.
:D
They love warm weather so as far as I know, they’re all for global warming.
They never said otherwise, so there ya go.
:D
Good luck trying to be rational with delusional people.
I just laugh at them. It’s a way to ridicule their deep concerns about the grave danger of Trump being president. All their gloom and doom just elicits a chuckle out of me. If they get too worked up, I ask for video. That usually shuts them up because all their evidence comes from unnamed sources.
“I’m just glad the economy is doing well”.
“Obama did that”
“Good for him. Quit finding reasons to be miserable and enjoy it”
OK, thanks,.. I’ll give it a try.
Stay home and have a bowl of chili. Extra treats for the fourleggers. Everyone is happy.
Or head out for a nice meal so no one has to cook or clean up. Even better. Doggie bags for the furry ones when you return.
Looked at your profile page - is that a real picture of the Doberman? Gorgeous!! I don’t want to know about the snakes - afraid to ask!

I had to invent a drink last night: The Sleazy Lawyer.
2oz Whiskey
1oz Midori Melon Liqueur
Squeeze each lemon and lime
Shake with ice, strain into scotch glass. The hue is a jeweled swampwater.
We don’t have any libtards attending our dinner so we can concentrate on drinking and eating the turkey, ham, stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, collards and pumpkin pie I’ll be serving. :-)
Sometimes I wish I drank.
I’d go get drunk and stay there.
:D
