Suggestion to add to your list to better cement the credibility of your issues:
use his given name, George
Civility and respect can only add to the dialogue. Jumping in with the crowd who resort to mockery and cheap and easy slurs diminishes the issues, and perhaps marks you as just another “one of the pack.” Stand out .. there’s a way to disagree with his positions without being disrespectful to this man who’s dealing with so much 24/7 for us.
If you heard, had to live with, and strategize the threat matrix like he alone does every morning, and bear the burden of those decisions daily, maybe you’d not have perfect pitch on every other issue either.
The issues stand for themselves...
I use humor all the time....hence the nic eeevil conservative to begin with...
I don’t BASH him....I don’t RIP him.... I don’t HATE him...
when I discuss the border issue- and the NAU, I call him Jorge...if that makes someone not want to get the facts of the issue at hand, that says more about them than me.
When I discuss Iraq- I give him respect...but when I discuss this bill- and his agenda for NAU- he does not have my respect.
again— I am issue based, not fan-based....
I respect your problem with it- but I am comfortable with it.
