A rant , Union guys voting trump 2020 , and I heard vet say he still supports trump

It’s a total cult one dude is former infantry vet like me. We were lucky never had serve in war. Two this dude he is so far along brainwashed trump could eat a unborn fetus in rose garden and it would be fine. Around 2017 I told him we don’t talk anymore in general only conversations we have. Are work related in person or over yard radio, took him awhile to understand I meant what I said. Times he’s pull his yard tractor next to mine , and try talk I’d drive away. Or just say to him do you understand English we do not talk socially I wash my hands of you.

Two reasons we do not talk one obviously his politics he is such a hate filled idiot. Two I caught him actually claiming he was with task force RANGER in Somalia. In 93 we were both running union line haul road men for Preston 151. I called him out on it you do not bull shit we lost good men in Somalia. Yet he kept on claiming he was task force RANGER and that my memory is off. So I said let’s see that DD214 he got quiet real fast so he’s mentally ill and liar.

Then the evangelicals I work with one actually thinks Jerry Falwell is being persecuted and mrs pelosi getting her hair done is new scandal , I asked gee I’d think you be raging over millions unemployed and 185.000 dead on trump genocide . I just sit here in yard horse smoking my pipe having a coffee thinking how insane 9 minutes to quit three day weekend then enjoy with my family . Thanks for letting me rant be safe all.

On bright side I have stop get the boys doughnuts I’ll just order two dozen. They have two friends over so 5 boys divide that into 24 doughnuts sounds Wright.

Like you, I can't believe these nut cases even exist. They completely baffle me.

Hope you and the puppers are doing well!

Goebbels and his wife couldn't stand the idea of their children growing up in a world without Hitler so they poisoned them.

That a veteran would defend that piece of shit. I admire that you tell him off

Any trump supporters in this age has to be mentally ill. No other reason I can come up with. And I see many Trump signs around here. Sometimes I think Ohio has become the new Stupid Capital of the USA

Enjoy your wonderful family, both human and canine! Sophie sends a high four as well!

With all the corruption, Householder, Gym Jordan, Republlicans trying to impeach DeWine for his handling of the virus. About the only thing he has done right. He did approve a gun bill on assault weapons! The ignorant House will not even bring it to the floor.

The only one I can vote on is Mike Turner in the House. I will vote against him. He was a good Dayton Mayor but has become a Trump cult member. His daughter was almost killed in the Dayton massacre.

Yet I fear the racists and cult members are going to oust him in favor of a trump cultist who doesn’t even live in our district who is running against him. Talk about idiots.

I am no fan of De Wine but he could be worse. And to think we could have had Richard Cordray. Jordan is a fucking national embarrassment. Pardon my French.

Let’s hope that Householder and all his partners in crime get nailed, but good....

logic and reason will not stop them from supporting that monster


Trump and his supporters need to be defeated, as they can't be reasoned with

I have come to believe they care more about hurting others than helping themselves.

It’s not being brainwashed or being mental ill.....it’s not about jobs or religion.....bottom line it’s about racism and hate....All the stupid and racist shit that Trump says out loud, is stuff that they say too.

I guess they've convinced themselves that the reason they have decent salaries and benefits is because they personally are so terrific or that their management is so generous.
