My trump supporting neighbor

The other day I posted my neighbor was toning down his support of trump. I was wrong first perhaps this is just his thoughts this morning he saw me on back porch loading grill cleaning up for are Mother's Day cookout. Wright away he starts hey you see trump fired comey I'm like kind hard not to notice. Then a steady stream of how trump is not taking shit people have to understand he is man of action he is going to straighten this country out next eight years. I told my wife you know I'm really going to add the privacy panels to the six foot chain link fence , the neighbor is really becoming a lot more brainwashed I find him scary. As in can't he understand that trump by firing comey admitted russia investigation was reason why obstruction of justice , or that every week trump is giving us a crisis. And if we're not in constitutional crisis at this moment we will be eventually ,Ok I rant by posting this but I need normalcy again.

(unless your neighbor is packing)

This morning I enlarged and printed out this picture of Sean Spicer http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2017/05/10/sean_spicer_hid_in_some_bushes_to_avoid_comey_questions.html

I used wide packing tape to weatherproof and stiffen the picture; then I taped it to a stick and put it in the bushes near my front door. It's pretty funny.

It's next to my door, so anyone who wanted to take it away would have to park in my driveway and come right to the door, and yet you can see it from the street. I don't care if it makes people mad. I have neighbors who left their Trump Pence signs up through February.

Maybe it's passive-aggressive, but it makes me feel good that I'm not taking their shit lying down.

upside the head by those he trusted. Even if he does eventually turn on 45, though, you realize he'll almost certainly support whatever betraying scoundrel Republicans nominate to do battle against Democrats next?

He does chat with you instead of giving you hostile stares across that fence, though. In our experience that definitely makes him one of the good ones.

that never intersects with the one you live in, and in his world, his facts and logic are real and ours are crazy. so if you try to use logic to understand him, you will just make yourself crazy.
