Instead of Merry Xmas Or Happy Holidays, How About THIS Year We just Say THIS?


Meanwhile in midtown Atlanta, on the Crowne plaza hotel, someone has been projecting this on the building. Apparently, the police can't stop it as they are not breaking the law.

Why are you leftists so concerned about destroying Christmas? Why can’t you just say “Merry Christmas”? I’m so glad Trump is fixing this mess that Obama created.

Again, and so it never occurred to me that the cat was replacing the sarcasm gif: It's supposed to replace trump pics. Now, I'll look for it in another browser when there's a question. Thanks.

I've been in negative place about a lot of things for over a year, and I'm finally at a point where I'm no longer going to allow myself to obsess about him so much. I'm looking forward to 2018 and then we can start digging ourselves out of this hellhole.

That said, I'm still not going to spend much time this holiday season with anyone who voted for him.

I keep seeing this reposted over and over again. This was something that happened the week after last year's election, for about a half an hour. I don't know why this item keeps resurfacing. But it truly is... and it pains me to say it.. FAKE NEWS.

I don't get why this is funny, since it's owned by the Crowne Plaza.
Now it looks like they're the ones saying "Fuck Trump."

This is not a joke, he really did that. My grandfather was one of a kind.
