"It may not be Russia after all?"

This a comment that a friend of mine said to me this morning! He calls me and starts ranting about how the Dems are corrupt and how they use Iran to steal this election! I listened for about 2 more minutes and said said what happened with Russia helping Trump? There it was for him to have all the answers and he replied “I gotta go” then he hung up! Man, I love these one sided conversations!

I just cut 'em off and say I don't want to listen to that crap and change the subject. If they won't take that kind of a heavy hint, I hang up, walk off, put them on block, whatever. People besotted with Putin's Pet Piggy to the point they can't talk about anything else are lost souls and since my time is short, I'll just have to let other people lead them out of the wilderness. It will take more time than I have to spend.

I was a lot more patient when I was younger. Now I've gone full Emily Post. I really don't want to know that much about relative strangers and casual acquaintances, so they can keep their religion, politics and sex kink to themselves and those near and dear to them. I find I can cope with them better if I don't know too much.
