I absolutely lost it yesterday in the hospital waiting room.
I'm usually very easy going , polite & tactful in my red town in dealing with repugs but not yesterday, I
went full on MAGAstan yelling.
After checking in I went into the waiting room and was surprised MSNBC was on with volume loud enough
you could hear w/o straining. A couple came in and sat to my right and then a single gentleman to my left,
we are all listening to the Select Committee hearing when this 400 lb guy comes in and sits right under the
TV looking right at the 4 of us and starts out with "Why don't Biden investigate all the fires the BLM rioters
started" from there it went to bad mouthing the Committee, it's members, Biden, Pelosi etc, etc, etc.
After about 5 minutes of this foul mouthed motormouth drowning out the TV, I sensed the couple was tired
of listening to him and the single gentleman was definitely tired of his rants like myself.
So I walked over to him and as loud as I could muster "You're really one dumb son of a bitch aren't you?
those fires were investigated and they were started by proud boys & oath keepers but your Fascist FQX
propaganda network will never tell you the truth." Had a couple other sentences rebutting other things
he said, and finished with "Now I'd like to listen to what my fellow reQublicans have to say about Jan 6th"
Turned around and there's a male hospital staffer with a clipboard and he's motioning me to come to him,
Oops, I'm in trouble I thought, when I got to him he says "Are you Mike?" "yes" "follow me please"
Walking down the hallway I asked how he knew it was me and he replied everybody else was too young.
Then we joked about the 400 lb guy. And yes I lied...I have no fellow repugs
When I told my brother about this today he said that would be a good question for repugs who refuse to
watch the Jan 6th hearings "What are you afraid of hearing from these reQublicans who were very
close to tRump?"
= new reply since forum marked as read
Jerks like that are far to used to a "receptive audience" or just complicit silence. They need to be told they're dumb-asses and to shut up.
They are not the majority they think they are.
walked real slow, solid tattoos everywhere, Harley Davidson T-shirt, unkept beard, and I was going
to add a line later in post concerning his weight but decided not to write a novel
Not OK, don't know results from PET scan yesterday, got biopsy report shortly before going to hospital,
my tumor is cancerous. Bad news does not put me on edge or in a bad mood, but being held captive
by a motormouth preaching at me like FQX noise sure set me off. Staffer said my face was red.
All my relatives live here so I'll never be moving to a Blue State even though I've thought about it.
Only bad thing is reQublicans & MAGAstanians, and they're in every state, so we learn to bite our
tongue when necessary and to be tactful when we need to be. Have a great day.
Take a look: https://creationmuseum.org/ttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creationist_museum
The above is not an exhaustive list, but it'll give you an idea.
The Creation Museum (https://creationmuseum.org/) in Petersburg, KY, is possibly the best known, at least in the eastern U.S. They have such delightful exhibits as a triceratops with a saddle that visitors can photograph themselves or their children sitting on, 
but if you're under the impression that there isn't a whole LOT of this that goes on 'around the corner' - then you are seriously clueless as to what happens in a hospital (or any other human social) setting. It's called sotto voce - and it's going on in every institution and organization in the world. We also have this thing called an 'eye roll' - and it gets used a certain amount too. Sounds like this amounts to a verbal eye roll - employed out of range of the person in question. So, you go ahead and be "outraged and disappointed", my friend ...

Most MAGAstanians are severely lacking in that vitamin, and one DUer I've heard of.
Can't count to #35 for some reason. I now know why I've always enjoyed your posts.
Good luck to you, hope everything works out!
When we was walking away he said everybody could hear him bitching/complaining and he was headed
there to ask him to be respectful of the other patients, "And when I turned the corner you was doing my
job for me, so I let you, that guy is nuts"
Would you like to hear about when he threatened to beat me up? 400 guy, not the staffer.
Not allowed to comment on it?
How am I giving “comfort and aid” to a person nowhere near me?
The hospital staffer was out of line, and that has been reported. I take this crap seriously. I don’t have to care for a person’s political views to still believe they’re entitled to respect and professionalism in that setting. Thanks for giving the facility name and other details.
A person acting like that in front of me in a healthcare setting, saying they would beat you up,, most people would go to security.
Did you actually say you “fly like a butterfly and sting like a bee”.? Seriously? Omg.
This country is getting so divided along political lines and it seems like the oligarch's
divide & conquer strategy is kicking into high gear. Love your handle!
and it felt like fucker Carlson talking w/o stopping to catch a breath, but when the gentleman to my
left looked at me shaking his head and rolling his eyes that's when I got up. I've bitten my tongue
a lot in this red town and I do that so as not to make enemies because my goal is to get some
to consider voting Democrat.
Awesome bro!
Stellar!
the size of the man with the mean look on his face probably scares most people away from him.
By the time I left the service I knew how to stand up to bullies and thankfully that exercise
has been few and far between, last one was over 10 years ago.
Probably through the roof. I know my adrenaline kicked in when he said something about all
libtards deserve to die and started to get up.
I wonder how he would have reacted to a 5 foot tall elderly woman springing to her feet, stomping up to him, and screaming, "YOU WANT TO SAY THAT TO MY FACE, DUDE?"
Knock out!
If they turned their anger on the messenger (me) I always invited them to swing first so my adrenaline
would kick in and I always told them "I don't care if you wake up in the hospital", I had started to say
that Monday when it hit me we were already in a hospital. And out of nowhere Ali's famous saying
popped into my head so I used it. So it was a riposte I guess.
You're the first person to mention the last line, and that was the one line I was really proud of.
I thought by mentioning it, other people could use it or build from it to fit their particular situation.
Some repugs are so brainwashed that everything but FQX is fake news that they actually hate the
thought of watching anything else. But the majority of them do know deep down inside Jan 6th
rests on Agolf Twitler's shoulders. Are they possibly afraid to be the first one in their local tRump
cult to call him out as evil and face ridicule from MAGAstanians ?
We do need to remind Rs that's it's all big name Rs testifying before the Committee, not AntiFa.
The couple however I believe were MAGA and kept quiet. Plus the staffer thanked me.
there I got one. 
The RWNJ patient walked in unmasked, despite numerous signs on doors saying “Masks are still required here.”
I see that when I go for tests or follow-up visits. Although I’m fully jabbed (including two boosters), I mask up in public because I’m at high risk for breakthroughs. That, and it’s the right thing to do.
Complained the first time I saw an unmasked guy sitting around in the waiting room. The staff has been a little better at enforcement — in addition to all the other crap they endure. Just wish they’d use this phrase:
“Mask it, or casket!”
Plus picking on the staffer for saying "he's nuts". Guess there's one in every crowd
and it was my day in the barrel.
