But he is owning it and he obviously cares enough about the friendship you two share to want to be honest and open with you.

And this is the silver lining of this complete and utter fuster-cluck of Trump. People who used to vote for Republicans and not really pay much attention to what those Republicans were really up to is what allowed them to win. That's going to change now because Trump is such a colossal attention whore that no one can escape this happy horseshit. Those GOP voters are getting biotch slapped with hard reality about what garbage they've been voting for. Many will change their ways after this. Democrats need to go hard in the red states from now on.

When I told her that I will lose everything she said you will be fine you can live with me and my husband and my husbands brother and the four dogs and you can bring your cats too. Well, she has no problem that my Independence will be stripped away and just how long does she want to pay for EVERYTHING for me ( including my cats and car? ) She voted for him because of property issues and immigration of Mexicans. The immigration part is hilarious because she and her husband bought a house in Mexico and she was having the nerve of making fun of the fact that she was building a wall around her house there. I love her but am not impressed with her and have lost a little respect for her. When you vote for someone you do not pick 1or 2 issues to determine your vote. She did not look at everything he was saying and just laughed and said it would not really happen....yeah right.
