Let me tell you the Trumpeteers are sideways!

My whole family are deplorables. My kid hung up on me when I was rubbing it in. We have a 100 dollar bet that Trump wont make it through his first term. My parents said "well I hope you Democrats are happy".... My sister wont answer her phone. Oh what a day!!!

Mueller's weapon of choice is still an FBI FISA Warrant: read ALL of this...

GOTCHA
The National Security Agency is the only government group that actually listens...
Maybe, FBI online agents are finally "listening" too...

Everything that comes our way is an opportunity to learn something. All of our mistakes are an opportunity gain some discriminating awareness. There's a lot of wisdom treasure to be mined from the Trump fiasco if they open their minds.

They keep voting for the same party that takes from them over and over again. If they were capable of learning they'd learn the same tired GOP policies that have failed every time they try them are always going to fail. Trickle-down comes to mind. Every time the GOP wantd to give away the farm they cite the Laffer curve. Their sheep buy it every time.

My biggest problem with my father is he cant see anything other than trump is great.

To him, all the events in the past 2 years that have pointed to trump, russia, etc He thinks they are all just part of a big conspiracy to make trump look bad by the liberals.

Its like how can every news outlet in multiple countries, with hundreds of reporters all be part of a large conspiracy to make good ole boy trump look bad.

Its pathetic how bad the propaganda has worked on them. They are fully programmed.

I feel your pain. Obviously you can see clearly why your beloved father can’t see the truth. When it becomes obvious they’ve been manipulated and lied to they are going to collapse.

Do you let them blindly fall in the trust group and crash or do you catch them? That is a quandary..

And when they disagree with you I'm very important issues. You have my sympathy.

I'm extremely lucky in that my kid is as liberal as his parents. And, thankfully, I do not give a flying F about the rest of my family. They are hopeless idiots with personality disorders.

If they wouldn’t want to know then at least I gave them something to think about.

Has an unassailable answer whenever I debunk one of her ridiculous posts: “Oh well, my Lord and Savior Jesus will sort it all out when he returns”. Absolves her of any thought whatsoever.
