One teacher I work with was particularly butthurt after
the election and he didn’t mind telling me about it.
After a few days I said, “Rick, can you smell that?”
He said, “No, what is it you smell?’ I said, “That is
the smell of America getting ready to become great again.”
Rick hasn’t spoken to me since. Boo-hoo.

“He would be a guy I might deck before a leftist.”

Ha! Leftists and a-holes, the world is full of them! Enjoy the day with your family!

My 10-year-old granddaughter telephoned me from California Nov 9 to ask me if I was pleased about Trump's election.

I said: "YES! Are you?"

She said: "YES!"

(I read on the internet that some of the schools in her area were having protest walk-outs, but no my children! Thank heaven!)

Buy them ALL Trump gear for Christmas!

Don’t forget to use the term “Kool Aide Drinkers”.

You can get it in by saying: “Sounds like you have been drinking the media Kool Aide”.

My 15 year old grandson is at a private school in CA. and kept his feelings to himself until he found out that his best friend, fromD.C, of all places ,was a big Trump fan.

My liberal Clinton loving niece came over for dinner today. I couldn’t help singing “Who won the White House? Trump! Trump! Trump! Trump!” (Who let the dogs out?)

Taking on nieces and nephews over politics is as challenging as shoving baby chicks into the creek. They’re sweet kids and they know better, and anyway I’m suspecting one nephew in particular of (whispering) conservative tendencies. His secret is safe with me.

No.

For the love of algore, is it too much to ask that three times a year (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter) we put the politics aside?

Must we live it 24/7/365?

You will change no one's mind and trash family time for the rest of the normal people in the family.

If you can't keep your blooming mouth shut for a couple of hours three times a year then skip it. Just go to a movie or wave your signs along the road or get drunk by yourself.

You make the day a much happier day for everyone else.

Last time I had a vegan show up at my table and sanctimoniously announce she was vegetarian, I told her I was sorry to hear that and asked if there was a cure.

Our family are all Trump supporters too thankfully. We are almost to my eldest daughter’s home. One liberal will be there today- son in law’s dad. I told hubby he cannot get in a political discussion with him today. We will see how that goes.
