Well... bye

(We live in Kanagawa Japan)
Today I was having lunch with some friends (and others). One of the people in our group is a trump republikkan. We have a few republikkans in our group. One I keep telling that the 1970's are calling and want him to return home because he's more a Rockefeller type.
Anyway, I was using my usual nickname for tucker carlson -- Tuckyo Rose Carlghlin and it didn't seem to bother him
Then I said, "Every time he talks all I hear is Peter Brady."
When he asked what that meant, I told said Tuckyo Rose sounds like Peter Brady from the episode of the Brady Bunch when his voice was changing.
The guy got furiously angry.
Finally, he said I needed to take it back or he was leaving.
So... channeling Powers Boothe, I said



Never found out what made him so angry because he stormed away and never came back -- I paid his part of the bill.
I'm kind like that

The only thing I want to know is why he lost it over that

Only thing I can figure is, the guy has a greg fetish and sees tuckyo as greg -- or something

Tucker is not a tough dude and is so challenged that he tries to overcompensate. He plays the top male "Karen" but no one can agree on what a male Karen should be called. He looks the part of a Ken Doll™ so Ken may be his best moniker.

and all things about tRUMP.

Sick of it actually.

And I'm not afraid to let the trumpers know about it either. They at least now, beg me to not bring up my routine of all things anti-tRUMP and the idiotic things he does. What can they say? They too see the idiotic things that he does and say, so in a way, tRUMP is his own worst enemy.

I notice that in today's world, the negatives on tRUMP are coming through loud and clear, and nonstop.

Considering that the RW is constantly trying to smear Pres. Biden, by trying to label Pres. Biden as being incompetent or something like that, none of it sticks (for one thing, it's not true). I notice this mostly on one channel, the Australian Sky News, who seems to really have it in against Pres. Biden.

But nothing is sticking, and thus, Pres. Biden is the Teflon president, where nothing sticks (because nothing is true of the smears being attempted).

This is fine w/ me (but I'm still sick and tired of tRUMP).

I thought we were all unemployed because we hate working, and we want everything for free - so how did you end up able to pay the bill, let alone be willing to pay it? Don't we make the people who work for a living pay for everything for us? Weren't you supposed to threaten a riot at his house and burn it down if he didn't pay your part?

Or did you have one of those sweet Biden Restaurant Vouchers (like Obama's Cell Phones)?



Good job getting under the asshole's skin. They love to call other people snowflakes and throw the word "triggered" at us, and yet, they're the ones constantly triggered and snowflaking.

I wonder how much it burns him that a lazy, labor-allergic, living on welfare dummocrap paid his bill.

though it might have arrived - I'm too fucking lazy to walk to my mailbox to get it, because I'm, you know, liberal and hate America. I'm hoping Biden will pass another law forcing hardworking republicans who pulled themselves up by their bootstraps to get the mail for we job-hating takers.

have an unwritten rule that we don't talk politics, religion or sports. Too divisive.
One long time friend just did not want to follow the memo. He always tried to sneak in an Obama this or Faux news said that. A real political animal. After a while I started calling him on the bullshit. He got fed up b/c he is the type of guy that not only tells you about it but tries to convince you he is right.
Ahhhh nope. He finally went off in a huff and said he was done. I still send him BD and anniversary notes. I get back "thanks" and thats it.
A real shame as we were friends for about 50 years..
I guess his politics were more important than the friendship.. Oh well...

She is intelligent and educated, so I had hope she'd eventually come around. She seemed to be moving in that direction during the Obama administration. But I think her asshole fascist husband brainwashed her back. After Dobbs, she expressed more outrage over my anti-Republican rants than she did about the decision itself. I realized I truly despise her "values," which I think mainly consist of "don't tax the rich and don't criticize anything about the USA." I don't have any respect left for her. She can fuck off. I'm done.

Then again, very little about Trumpsters make sense to me.

To be that personally, emotionally wrapped up in Tucker Carlson? And to be that offended about a description, however unflattering, of another person's voice?

Bizarre.
