Grocery shopping with MAGAts can be fun.

I was at the local grocery store this morning and a guy about my age pulled up behind me in the checkout line.

I turned and saw his brand new, bright red Make America Great Again 45-47 hat. I wasn't going to say anything then he lifted his chin and gave me a "sup".

At that point, my best shit-eating grin appeared and I shook my head - nope.

All of the air went out of him and turned to read gum wrappers until I left. Not only did I deflate him, I did it without saying a word. Mockery is still the best way to deal with these morans.

She said - must have been a great rollercoaster ride for that guy. A guy his age approving of his new hat. He thinks he's got a new friend then you smack him in the face by laughing at him.

Then she said something about me being a closet asshole but I could be mistaken - she was laughing a lot.

Kudos to her.

Oh of course except for the part where you are an A-hole.

I can sympathize. My daughter always says I am not from this planet.
I am not sure what she means exactly, but I take it as a high compliment.

lazy to say "What's up?"...its shorthand on social media apps. I generally avoid saying or using it while typing. Hell, when typing I rarely use contractions.

I saw some moron on the ship wearing a shirt that said on the front - "I AM VOTING FOR THE FELON!!!" and on the back it was Trump with two middle fingers and it said "ARREST THIS". I just visibly rolled my eyes when I saw that shirt.
