At the hair salon

Wife goes to salon, I find cheap barber shop, however, I had become very shaggy so took her to her appointment and she asked her hairdresser to clean me up.

Sitting in the chair making small talk I pointed out to hairdresser that Trump is as bald as l am so what does he do to cover his head? She went on about growing it very long, comb it over, use lots of hair spray, have to repair it a few times a day.

Then she launched on Trump “HE’S AS PHONY AS HIS COMBOVER . . . “ she proceeded to turn the air blue swearing at Trump!!! And all dozen or so people in the place cheered her — “Right on , sister, right on!!”

It was a great day!! Gave her a BIG tip!

When the yapping Chihuahua, Lindsay, is hopping all around the feet of the fat ass Bulldog, Trump, Graham grinning with shit in his teeth praising everything daddy say’s, that the back of his head and half the crown is a massive combover. It was real obvious at the AF1 door presser with those two, Nutlick and KKKarolyin flanking them. Ya wanna bet Lindsay shaved the base layer then combed over to get more love from daddy.
Just sayin, people say, that I can tell you, believe me.

Just joking.

My experience in the last year is that everyone (except a single jerk) was anti-trump, anti-fascists.

I quickly said, "I can we we disagree on politics, so let's just stick to the weather and sports"

And that was that

I know I'm unqualified to deprogram any victim of brainwashing,
and I'm there to escape from the endless madness in the first place !

over the decades has led us to be unable to discuss politics. I remember so many adult dinners in my family where the rules were, no politics, no sports, no religion, no food (our MAGA SIL thought she was a healer and knew it all).
It left the weather and their kids as topics.
When I meet people from other countries they seem to be able to converse about politics with me and with each other.

I'd expect this kind of response in New Jersey where I live, but not in Arkansas.

This event in Arkansas would be more exciting than in New Jersey.

In the lead up to the primaries in the NJ 12th Congressional District all of the candidates are competing to see who hates the orange pedophile more.

my husband over heard a rather loud conversation between two women who had begun to chat about trump while waiting to check out. They were so mad at him for messing up their health insurance, the high costs for the food they were buying. The cashier got involved, they all hated trump. This is a very conservative area in California, husband does all the shopping, I cook the food. He is usually encounters pro trumpers who he ignores. It was the first time he has heard anti trump talk in any store. So, it kind of seems people are finally understanding how dangerous trump is.

A lot of people are fixated on the unreal task of converting magas and bringing them into the light. That's pipe dream. What actually helps is when maga enthusiasm drops and they're less likely to vote. What also happens in times like these are the wishy-washy "independents" are angry and WILL vote.

There was a photo of TSF by the cash register and several stylists were Trumpers. This is in a very blue area. Not smart for business.

is getting thinner and more scarce each day. Of course he thinks he's still the young, dashing, virile, beautifully coiffed bon vivant of his eternal youth. 💩

He's always had piggy eyes and that little mouth that looks like an asshole. He looked soft and effete and spoiled, and over time his inner meanness showed on his face more and more as his jowls sagged and his hair disappeared.

I always thought so too.

I'm a native New Yorker, and we all knew about old Sphincter Face way before the rest of the country got a glimpse.

He's always been a cheat, liar, egocentric asswart, dumb shit, unbearable piece of crap his entire life. And those are his best characteristics.

after a bit of neutral small talk she tested the waters with 'Trump and Greenland'. I encouraged to go on and she let loose a blistering tirade over the idiocy of Trump. after that we got along fantastically. it was a wonderful shift, and I have a new friend.

losing support from everybody except the hardcore 25% cult members. And he may even lose some of those. When they start losing their jobs, homes and can't afford food, no matter how much they love him, they will have to stop supporting him. I think we could shave off 5% of those by November, so that his base support goes down to 20% at that time.

That's if he continues his destructive policies and current trends continue, including him acting like a maniac.

...and flight risk, he should be forbidden to use hair care products beyond basic soap or shampoo. Preferably a brand that markets to ethnic communities.

I want him photographed with that five feet of wispy string hanging in its limp full glory.

Maybe we could get Mitt Romney to do that - IIRC, he has experience at that.
