trump Talk at My Work Place

About this rise in support for the orange shithead. I'm not seeing it.

In fact where I work this week there was a 50ish coworker suddenly blurting out about trump not knowing Stormy, not paying Stormy... and generally making fun if the orange shitgibbon out loud. I would have chimed in but I was too busy laughing. Another co-worker did though.

The point I am making is, in the work environment I've been in over they years has been decidedly Republican. I've had to keep my mouth shut though heated discussions belittling Dukakis, Clinton, Gore & Kerry. I'm quite sure the talk I heard from my coworkers would have never been tolerated at my previous places of employment at the time I worked there.

With other coworkers I have talked to in private I get the same feeling about trump from them that I do with myself. That is, you can polish a turd but in the end you still have a turd. This is quite different from years past.

The f__king idiot is not gaining in support. Believe me.

Russia will steal every election that matters for him and his party and give him free reign to grift away all our $$ by stealing it for himself and his fascist oligarch friends.

They already know that liberals don't like him and anything that pisses the left off must be good for them.

with him. As a matter of fact I said to him...let me know the day you are officially off the RUMP train...lunch is on me.

Then you have the people who have NO IDEA about what is going on. NONE.

6. I think most reasonable people see him for who he is.

And despite what most people think, there are a number of people who voted for him who are reasonable. They aren't all deplorables. Many of them were just anti-Hillary or dyed-in-the-wool republicans, but that doesn't mean that they like him. I think a lot of them would like to see someone else replace him, and not necessarily Pence.
