I can say this, some of the recipes look pretty good, but not very healthy.

because Fox was too liberal. They were only going to watch Tucker Carlson and the weather. The thread was quite long and they were all agreeing. One was very upset with Trump's tweets.

They are just waiting to be told what to say. Just as soon as their Masters come up with something.

It will beging with "Well Hillary...." or "Well Obama...." or "Well Bill Clinton...."


Its just taken a bit longer to get their story straight.

I give them the truth on Facebook, and they think its Hell.

Every argument they use to defend Donald, always, ALWAYS, starts with But Hillary or But Obama.

We really do live in different worlds. They are the most propagandized people in history, a statement I dont make lightly.

Fox News and hate radio hasn't come up with enough new anti-Hillary and anti-Obama outrages yet. Also, the excuse making hard drive has slowed down due to excessive heat from overuse.

Just joking. Some of my friends and relatives no longer want to talk about politics. Funny, that's all they wanted to talk about right after the election.

Ever since the big reveal on Monday - the Free Republic website is down, I think. I thought it mighy be fund raising problems, or slow internet.

Interestingly, the comments on the RT site are mysteriously gone as well.

Two things. Either both sites don't want the real news about Trump out or both sites are botnets for Russian propaganda. Meaning there is no there, there.

We had to go to a funeral today, so he did not see any of them. He will be busy tomorrow, too.

I wonder what they will be saying by Thursday. Some of them have been making themselves scarce since Comey was fired.

What is Fox saying?

Someone I know on facebook is your "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" kind of guy. I've pointed out multiple times how social programs have benefited him...and he just gets angry over it. He started a new business, guess things weren't going as well as he planned... he started a go fund me page to pay for his and family's rent. No one has donated because he's been an a-hole to a lot of people with his conspiracy theories. And given the city he lives in is "blue", he's lucky no one has looked up his visible political beliefs. But lo and behold, he's begging for a hand out for his bad decisions....and I doubt he will change his views.

FYI, I didn't donate. I already know how it won't be appreciated.

I KNEW he would fuck up majorly by August. He did it sooner than I thought. But I KNEW he'd do it, and do it soon.

How could people be so lacking in basic people skills that they couldn't see through the guy?

I mean fundie Christians were praying for him on Facebook.

I have a best friend who's husband likes Trump. Yesterday I asked her if he had changed him mind yet - answer No.

Some people in small towns have grown up hating the "liberals."
