"We're going to start saying Merry Christmas again!"

I just heard Trump say this at a rally on television.

This man is sick and needs to be removed from office immediately. He is doing nothing but fanning the flames of a cultural war.

Actually everything he says is straight from talk radio. Yes I listen. You're welcome.

Mr. Potter: Have you put any real pressure on these people of yours to pay those mortgages?
Pa Bailey: Times are bad, Mr. Potter. A lot of these people are out of work.
Mr. Potter: Well, then, foreclose.
Pa Bailey: I can't do that. These families have children.
Mr. Potter: They're not my children.
Pa Bailey: But they're somebody's children, Mr. Potter.

on your OWN time and dime... that has NEVER happened.

As a shopper, a citizen and Mrs Claus counterpart to my DH 'Santa' type, I have NEVER been harassed nor arrested for saying Merry Christmas... or Happy Holidays, Blessed Yule Happy Hanukkah, etc for that matter.

This 'war on Christmas' is pure nonsense. It's a disgusting manipulative RW/fundie tool to shamefully divide people and that the president of the US is flat out encouraging this divisive pile of pigpoo pisses the heck out of me.

It's another dog whistle to keep his rabid fundie fans stirred up and filled with hatred toward "liberals".

and into a maximum security facility!

Hell, I may even sing a Hallelujah chorus or two.

I think millions will join me when that happens.
