My Elderly Husband Nearly Started a Riot at the Polling Place

[cyclonefence]

this morning. He referred within the Republican committeeman's hearing to our president as "that lying sack of shit." Words were exchanged, partisans of both sides yelled at each other.

I think my husband won because the Republican's parting shot was "I'll pray for you."

1. Kudos to your plain spoken husband!

[GallopingGhost]

2. LOL

to your husband!

[irisblue]

3. :::SNAP:::

Good on your husband

[hamsterjill]

4. Yep, hubby DEFINITELY won that round!!!!

The "I'll pray for you" is code for "I've treated someone badly and now I want to try to redeem the idea that I'm really a nice person".

5. Good job!

[Greybnk48]

6. Ha! Good for him! He won! n/t

[kairos12]

8. K & R!!!

9. I only refer to him as the lsos--El Esos--The other

[murielm99]

10. When someone says that to me,

I thank them and tell them I can use all the prayers I can get.

Right now, the county and the world need those prayers, too.

25. I say that I will do a science experiment for them, and let's see who gets results. nt

30. Good one!

11. They should pray for themselves....

Too much garbage in the brains of Republicans.

[bdjhawk]

12. Because when they say they will "pray" for us

all they mean is that they will pray that we come to agree with them!

[bucolic_frolic]

13. Ewww!

If I had one of them praying for me I'd phone an exorcist -fast.

[nolabear]

14. Praise for your plainspoken man!

[Scarsdale]

15. Any republican

ALL of them had better start praying for themselves. They have been duped by a con man, with little intelligence, and even less CLASS.

[LeftyMom]

16. Electioneering within your polling place is illegal.

If he did that in my polling place I'd have asked him to leave.

[Mister Ed]

27. As a fellow election judge, I concur.

What he did is illegal within a polling place. Anywhere else, hey, give 'em hell. But the polling place is sacred, and no place to nearly start a riot.

17. My last word to Republicans in situations like that is "Learn Russian."

[HopeAgain]

18. I'm thinkin' they need to pray for us all...

With what is going on in Washington.

[Teacheral]

32. What is prayer?

Prayer is hopeful disallusion.

[HopeAgain]

33. Was just a joke

Didn't really need your opinion on prayer, thank you.

[ehrnst]

19. "I'll pray for you" is the evangelical equivalent of "And STAY away!!!" (nt)

[grantcart]

22. my reply "fortunately God doesn't take advice from idiots".

[ehrnst]

24. HA!

[Vinca]

20. Bravo to your husband!

[rurallib]

21. be sure to tell us when those prayers start kicking in

curious how much they will change your husband

[demmiblue]

23. Ugh... at a polling place?

I hate when that kind of shite happens.

[gordianot]

26. I always have a verbal response ready when I cannot take more of the ignorance.

Trump makes pointed comments easy. In addition situational awareness dictates the necessity to have counters ready on short notice and to size up the situation with a plan. This is resistance which is serious.

You have to remember Trumpsters do not expect resistance and resort to intimidation when challenged.

[AllaN01Bear]

28. bravo

some of these so called "christians " remind me of pharsies ( for those who study the bible , you know what that means )
im a plain speaking engine and i belive in plain speaking and i speak as i find , speak up.

[Cha]

31. I don't see how they can defend

your husband's plain spoken truth.. trump is a lying sack of shite.

[lpbk2713]

34. "Send some cash in to Pat Robertson for me."

I'm sure it will go right into God's pocket.
