Said she was just calling to say good morning and we chatted for a moment then she said she was going out to buy some red white and blue ribbon, I said well I'm going to get my covid shot and to get those cheap groceries, she said "what cheap groceries"? I said well he said on day one he would make groceries cheap.

Zero contact with my sister. She lays in wait during a call and then boom it happens!

Since Trump typically over delivers - I am hoping for $1.20.

Everyone should take note of their local gas prices at the pump today. We can compare them to Trumpgas prices tomorrow, and over the next few months. Somehow I doubt prices will be down 50% come summer driving season.

After a lengthy visit with my sister a bit ago, I found out who she voted for and was "hopeful for the next 4 years." After a bit, I became angry with her in letting her know I was feeling more fearful than I had the first 4 years he was in office.
She went on to say what happened to tRump "was CRIMINAL".

"The investigations into January 6th, the 2 impeachments, being found liable in Civil Court of Sexual Assault, convicted felon in Criminal Court for fraud before the 2016 election, the LIES, mocking people, and so forth?" I asked her. She went on with Bill Clinton and I countered, why did Melania stay with him after all of this? I then put my foot down and said "enough!" And she said I bought into all the "Democrat bullshit".

Now granted, she is my only remaining sibling and that she did not want this to get between us. I love my sister. I will have to reckon with the fact that she is a tRumper now compared to when he was first in office. Should she bring this up again, I will come down. I do regret not saying "Donald Trump possesses no redeeming qualities I would find admirable morally speaking."

The next 4 years for her will indeed change, as it will be for the majority of the country. By the way, she had good things to say about the Cabinet nominees and that Democrats were being "Mean" to them.

By the way, her eldest grandchild is now a US Marine who will be going to Intelligence School in Virginia. I will pray for him that he is not used in the ILLEGAL orders to round up undocumented immigrants.
