Fortunately, my grandchildren will be home from college.

I'm thinking of just writing out a questionnaire for them instead of torturing them at the table.

> I’ve been saying for a while, that an effective argument for reducing government power is to tell a lib “Think about how much power Obama has accumulated to act on the basis of Executive Orders. Now visualize all that power in the hands of Donald Trump”.

Thank God there will be o Clintonites or Obamites at my table. Used to be until I educated them about what both are really about. They had no clue. Liberals tend to vote because of the way someone and their celebrity status looks not their actions which is great for charlatans wo can easily fool them and they do. They never learn...

I was involved in Trump flash mobs but will not bring up politics at dinner today. The liberals who will be there have been brainwashed by CNN, etc. and they make no sense. I want my 8 yr old grandaughter, who is a Trump supporter, to have a nice day and a happy memory.

I have such a terrible memory, I mean I cannot recall, no matter how hard I concentrate, how nice Thanksgiving was in 2008. How the family LEFTISTS made such effort to not gloat, to help us see how “Hope and Change” would lead to such great things after the disaster that 2008 became. How their Presidential Candidate, soon to be President, would help us to redistribute our wealth because, after you have so much, you need to share your wealth (at the Government’s dictate!)

Can anybody help me to remember those kind LEFTIST and how they gently tamped down those screaming, rioting McCain supporters?

Tell him about Cambodia, and how people like Trump were not tolerated there. It was a utopia.

That fourth year is going to suck when Buzzy resigns or dies. We have to restore a four-year appointment window.

If you visit relatives today to talk politics, then you are a rude jackass no matter what side you are on.

I had a similar lecture from my snowflake daughter and told her that I had decided, thanks to her, to change my will and leave everything to charity.

Why waste time telling the truth to idiots. Truth and decency are not in their dictionary.

“A closed mouth gathers no foot”, take that into consideration when you LISTEN to others with their mouths open.

Coulter killed me with her 3 year gloat limit, but except for coastal California and the northeast, there will be some grand celebrations today BECAUSE of Trump.

Let’s not assume we’re the minority here. Look at that big, red, map....especially the one that shows red/blue by district rather than state.

There is no “educating” the stupid. They believe in and act on emotions. There is no brain activity; facts have no meaning. The best thing to do is pat them on the head and say “Well bless your little heart”.

Hey, you can ALL say a prayer of Thanksgiving! I’m sure God won’t mind. :)

I’m pretty sure that politics will be a topic that we’ll all avoid at Thanksgiving this year. Like it is every year. It makes for a more enjoyable day.

Not at my home. The only lib in my family is my sister and she is welcome for any holiday if she can tolerate the abuse that will come from the rest of the family.

We will give thanks to our Lord, God, Jesus Christ for America, and for Donald Trump as our next President.

If that is a message that any family member can't handle, they are free to leave.

It will be an enjoyable day, and libs can get over it, including family members.

Suppose I lucked out. My parents didn’t raise any libs and i don’t associate with my hitlery supporting cousins in Austin. We’re all AR/AK owning Trump voters, nary a fag or lib among us. We all discuss politics with glee these days

Voters who expect Trump to bring limited government are likely to be very disappointed.
