Could be that some people are just harder to deal with.

I can understand the wish to avoid aggravation and conflict and possible arguments. Life’s too short.

Maybe you’ve had the good fortune to have met a Republican who’s also in touch with her humanity first, and then the politics and the what-they-stand-for problems later. I wish they were all like that. But sometimes, as one ages, it could be that repeated efforts at patience and understanding and compassion and camaraderie just don’t work with some people. And then, it might just be better and less potentially combustible to minimize contact.

Just my opinion, of course.

Same here, EarlG!

DU is my daily political lifeline.

Nobody cuts that Orange Stain any “equal time” here like they always seem to try to bend over backwards to do on “the news.”

Why should they even have any?

Fuck ‘em.

The Trumpenberg!

That’s a good one!

And all I see is that big fat dirigible exploding on flames and the inferno slowly collapses onto the ground.

Top it with a fake blond Elvis wig, and you’re there.

Kinda makes your heart sink.

WORST thing EVER to happen to America.

Worse than plagues, killer storms, and hunger & homelessness.

You take the cake, donald. This is one “election” you won by acclamation.

What a great read!

And a great story with not one but TWO happy endings! Glad you shared it, Imallin4Joe! I think we all need stories like these. They’re a real emotional pick-me-up.

All of our cats are rescues. Wouldn’t have it any other way.
