Seriously???! Mitch calling.

Having a chill Friday night. Phone rings.

Now, mind you, 90% of our calls are spammers of one type or another. But it still gets me most of the time. Could be an urgent call from a loved one. No caller i.d. on our landline.

Goddam if it wasn't "the Republican party."

I didn't let him get a word in. I said I hate all Republicans and they are ruining life. And hung up. Did not swear, which I thought demonstrated a lot of self-control.

Can't believe they would call me. Vermin.

Got a mailer from the NRA this week. Wrote f*ck off on it and sent it back in their postage paid envelope.

They can't move on down their list if you tie them up.

He has never gotten that before. It’s only 30 bucks a year. So, with dues that low, how could they afford to give the GOP 30 million bucks in 2016?

They didn’t get 30 from hubs, but I did write them a not nice note and mailed it back in their envelope.

Usually after I give my first answer of very strongly disapprove of Thief Drumpf they end it. One brave soul actually asked me 10 questions which I delighted in answering which totally flustered her so much. Thought the young woman should get a strong taste of what others think of her chosen destroyer, but didn't use any cuss words, just strongly disapproved of all repugs and all their plans and strongly approved of the one question she asked regarding Democrats.
