So now he signed up to offer 20.

— Police say an Ohio man is in stable condition after he set himself on fire following what witnesses described as a rant about post-election protests.
Akron Police Sgt. Dennis Woodall says the 69-year-old man was wearing a U.S. Marine Corps uniform when he set himself ablaze Saturday morning on a city street.
Witnesses told the Akron Beacon Journal the man had become increasingly agitated after discussing the need to protest President-elect Donald Trump. They say the man had walked into a coffee shop and asked whether anyone knew who had organized a recent anti-Trump protest. They say he then left the store and set himself on fire after he doused himself in gasoline.
Let’s hope.
I can’t argue with you there.
The weird thing is that the church I’m describing is so far from a country club church, I can’t even describe it. I’d bet they had a talk with the kid and will try to find out next time I’m in the area.
I moved away but the guy I wrote is a good buddy and we always have lunch when I’m in town.
I like the line. “The Democrats have not been this upset since we abolished slavery.”
“If they’ll kill themselves, they’ll kill us, too.”
Makes sense to me. As long as Soros, obama, the Clintons and the rest of the left encourage it, the violence will only get worse.
I must say, I was surprised at how non-political the conversation was. "Simmering" would be a good word, politics were deliberately avoided. Since they all run from "moderately reasonable" to "Radical Off-the-Rails-Looney-Tunes Leftist", I was expecting a knockdown-dragout.
I was pleased to be disappointed.
Even more pleased to hear the quiet whining when they thought I wasn't paying attention. Near as I could tell, the general thought was, "It's Not Faaaaaair!!!", which I gave up using as an excuse when I was about 5 years old.
The stupid
It burns
I never get that kind of fun. Our Thanksgivings has always been just our family and we always agree on this stuff. My kids are all strongly conservative in their values and votes.
It’s kind of cool. I’m only one guy and I get to vote five times, legally.
Having them come is sort of like visiting the zoo, only the zoo visits me, then leaves. Once a year, for a few hours, is entertainment.
No idea how my lovely wife came out of that mess. She's pretty much apolitical, leaning conservative - especially since she met me. Her friends and family range from "Normal and Sensible" to "Conservative Southern Democrat" to "Senseless Barking Detached From Reality Moonbat" (me: "Nice Outside Today, isn't it?" her: "How can you think it's nice outside when a hateful sexist bigot like Trump is ascending to power? I HATE my LIFE!! AAAAIIIII!!!"). It's so stereotypical, almost cartoonish.
She keeps some of these people around because she's too nice to kick them to the curb. 'Tis one of the myriad of reasons I married her, she's far kinder than I am and always finds the good in people.
Whereas, I hate people. :-) We complement each other well.
We’ve actually only got a couple raving moonbats. A couple years ago at the family Christmas party at my mom’s house, we decided to be very quiet and not get people going. My daughter and I had some new guns we’d bought. My brother wanted to see them so we brought them along. The entire family was in the basement. We went into a small back room and then he went to show his wife. Then my wife came in, soon, my cousin and his two boys and their girlfriends came in. Soon enough, the only ones left at the party and not checking out guns were the moonbats.
One of them, my cousins husband tried to start an argument with me. He then emailed me later to keep the argument going. I sent him FBI Crime Statistics to show how few actual crimes were committed with rifles. For some reason, he never responded.
Aaahh facts. He’s a moonbat, but also a CPA and able to read a report.
There might still be hope for him.
Gonna be a good winter for squirrels...
Not if they kill themselves first!
Almost as funny as that guy running in front of cars in four lanes of traffic screaming, “KILL ME! KILL ME!”
Sadly, nobody did. Oh, well; better luck next time.
He lived an extra 4 years b/c Romney was robbed in 2012.
He may not have read it. I heard that my snowflake cousin was a quivering mess when Clinton lost.
Sounds like Hillary.
If Hillary had brains, beauty and poise to go along with her power madness and tendency to wild outbursts of anger
:-) Sounds like Christmas might have come early.
