My sad story: I went into a T-shirt shop to have an IMPEACH shirt made

to wear while I'm running errands or at the casino or such, and the guy behind the counter asked what color, size, and so on....

And then a wave of rationality overcame me... I told him "Never mind. Sorry to have bothered you" and left.

And thus is my sad perception of this Southern place. I truly was afraid of getting attacked or even shot.

I live in Illinois, but near a rural area, and even though I love bumper stickers, I'm afraid to put anything anti-Trump on it.

What if someone tries to shoot out your picture on the car..with you in it?

I don't want to scare you, but with the gun problem in this country, I'm wondering if it might not be like having a target on your back.


P.S. I live in Wauconda, 48 miles norhwest of Chicago...Where are you?

wall where you could write down things you want to do before you die. It was all I could do not to write "See Trump in jail."

Screw impeachment. This is far more serious than removing the head of the snake. We need to clean the lair.

I rarely see any signs. I think a lot of people feel the same, even Trump signs are rare.

DEPLORABLE! They wouldn't think twice about harming you verbally or physically. You're smart to use your head. On a side note, I'm headed to a trade show next week for our family business that will be chock full of deplorables. I wear my protest t-shirts all the time here at home and as much as I'd like to wear them at this show, I'm not going to pack them. It is sad that we have to think like this.
