A rather burly fellow, forty-something, approached as I was putting my groceries in the car. He stopped, pointed at my prominent Hillary sticker and said, I still cant believe what happened.
I answered with And we thought W was awful. He shook his head and said Yeah, W was stupid but he wasnt evil.
With him, hed say or do something once a week; now its every day, sometimes every hour, I said. But we sure cant stop now.
He tried to smile as he almost whispered, Its hard. Most days I just feel like crying.
I know the feeling. But we have every reason to hang in there, I said.
He gave a small thumbs-up as he walked away shaking his head.
And once more Im glad that I chose to keep all those stickers.

Have people forgotten he let New Orleans drown, while siccing Blackwater (ironic name) on fleeing citizens?
Don't get me started.

Still I'm glad the OP felt support from a stranger.

But yes, * stood there for 8 years, posing, so it's on him, too.

(12,882 posts)Came out of Lowes the other day to find a note under one WS wiper that said: "Your stickers made me smile - Thank You!"
Of course, at this point, Reagan's rotting cadaver in the oval office would be preferable to what we've got!
My stickers and those on my wife's car are a glimmer of hope in an otherwise stagnant sea.

(8,419 posts)First time purely out of anger. Two rows of tvs by the cardio equipment. One TV in each row is always of Fox News A couple of weeks ago I stop to check out the end of a NBA playoff game, tv next to the game was on Fox. Kid behind the desk is watching and about three other guys are stopped. At a break I loudly state, get the propaganda bullshit and tRump off! One guys states, are you claiming Donald lies? Turn right to him and say, no, I am making a factual statement that he is a liar and a fucking piece of shit.
Fox hasn't been on at night since, so I must not be the only one going off.

(51,569 posts)I was an illustrator and the fake prez provides me with a lot of inspiration (too much actually). He keeps doing and saying so much BS I need a bigger car to hold all the different stickers and themes...crazy, Russia, alternative facts, impeachment, prison, the wall, patriotism, etc. He's almost a gift of inspiration to artists and comedians. I'd like to return this gift however.

When Bannon talks about "the dark side" that he admires, he uses Cheney as an example.
Could always know when Bush was lying and whipping up a lie by the gleam in his eye and his smirk.
Have we not noticed how all the red and yellow "turrer" alerts disappeared the minute Obama came into office? They were fake as hell and Bush knew it.
He wanted and needed to be a "war President" and went for one, for oil.
Not to mention how he brought us the Bush Recession.
Evil under a fake Cowboy persona.
Responsible for the death and sufferings of millions.

...first bad economy considered a recession? Not too sure what you mean. Of course there's always his father's horrible economy.
I never understand why Dems don't make a HUGE, non-stop, issue over how much more badly the economy does every damn time there's a Republican in office. There's a dozen brightly colored graphs that are so easy to understand---they could use one at least once in a while.
