She insists on holding forth on the evils of US policy, the benefits of gun control, unbridled access to abortion for anyone with a vagina regardless of age, etc etc et al ad nauseum.
I've shut her down a few times. Recently I reminded her of what happened when we pulled out of SE Asia some 30 odd years ago and the unbridled slaughter that went on after we left.
I asked her if 3 million murdered innocents weren't quite enough for her and if she'd really like to see that repeated in Iraq.
"That wouldn't happen." was her reply. I said people like her said exactly the same thing about Cambodia in the 1970's and they were wrong.
"Iraq is different." she said. I asked her if she was willing to gamble another 3 or 4 million innocent lives on her beliefs.
That shut her up. Unfortunately she was in the bosses office telling him I was 'rude and harrassing'. So I got a talking to.
The boss did tell her to keep her opinions to herself if she couldn't handle a little bit of back and forth.
So now she doesn't talk much at all, but I can tell she's about ready to blow. Should be fun when the cork finally pops....
Nice seeing you again my friend.

Good job, thanks for stepping up!
Too many of us, for far too long, have failed to push back.
Nice to hear from you. Well, that situation could go either way. If she’s bee na pain in the rear or just plain incompetent (I vote for both) then her boss may well welcome an opportunity to move her elsewhere. OTOH, affirmative action hires - women, blacks, or any otehr grievance group - can hide behind a shield of victimhood and make everyone miserable.
But you’re right - there’s nothing quite as entertaining as watching a big fat lib go spiral-eyed crazy when they’re confronted with reality.
Take care and watch your six.
