Ya all remember how I was going to be the adult when.....

addressing trump supporter? Yeah.... that ship has sailed. They can not be talked to. They keep whining about being treated bad but they bring it on themselves!

They bring up stupid stuff as proof that they are right about this and that. You post a link to information that is legit information, not right wing, no evidence, conspiracy nonsense.

And the bull💩 really starts to fly. They can't get their heads around the fact tRump lost. Can't even have a civil conversation with them unless you can forget reality.

The only thing that seems make a tiny little dent in their lala land is insults! And it only dents it, which they hurry and dig deeper into their beliefs.

These people are going to be the next big danger for our country.

Because you can park in the handicap zone."

That's the only Trump supporter joke I know, but I haven't gotten to the point of using it on one of them.

Laughing at them and Der Leader for his acolytes -- and importantly refusing to engage people determined on battle -- might work a whole lot better than tossing insults. The best jokes of course would be sly enough to get away with at work.

Good for today courtesy of Borowitz: I hear Trump tried to prove he was fitter than Biden by playing fetch with Pence on the WH lawn.

I have left them alone to wallow in their tears.

Until they say something, I will leave politics out of it. Before the election they were bold and in your face with trumpisms.

Amazing thing, I have not heard anything about the runoff here in Georgia.

The truth is there. IQ 45 needs to own up but they are waiting until Dec 14th, I guess.
The electoral college votes that day and then it’s done.

they wouldn't be tRumpers.

Never offer your hand to a rabid dog unless you are prepared to club it into submission. You can substitute "republikan" for "rabid dog," and the statement holds. The only thing that will penetrate their skulls is a dimensional-lumber assault.

fighting fire with nuclear bombs. That's probably why I could never run for elected office. Oh, and the fact that I now hate at least 74 million people in this country.
