I'd just say fuck you Republicans right before saying grace

Of course the people I'll be spending Thanksgiving with are not Branch Trumpvidians.

With the Thanksgiving holiday on the heels of the impeachment inquiry, politics are sure to come up at your dinner table this year.

So, what’s the best way to survive the conversations? We asked the experts-politicians.

Just before the holiday, political leaders from across the isle sat across the table for a turkey dinner hosted by the Bipartisan Policy Center.

“If you are not able to talk about the issues you care about with the people you care about, it’s hard to expect that your politicians are going to be any different,” said Bipartisan Policy Center Founder and President Jason Grument.

That’s where all the Branch Trumpvidians are in my family.

My Grandparents are gone now and sometimes I’m not feeling Christmas since they’re gone now.
