I'm not even seeing the usual anti-Clinton posts from the "that" group of friends. Lots of recipes and family pics though.

(4,112 posts)The "Hillary's such a lying piece of crap" line is all over my page tonight. The irony is most definitely lost on that crew, and the proverbial Koolaid has been fully consumed.

Unless Trump somehow gets handled, I can't see this going three months. He desperately needs a crisis right now.

Written in shit across the billboard of the Public Square.
I'm glad for it, because it let's the rest of the Nation see these ignorant, bigoted, hateful fucks for what they really are. Let the white man-children scream. Their rage is impotent. I find it FITTING.

More than half are 'foreigners.' from South Korea to Russia to Brazil to Italy to Oman.
One of my friends, ONE, much to my great surprise, is a trump lover and hillary hater. I mean he REALLY, REALLY despises her. Was that a shock to me or what !! The guy is a superb musician. Who would have guessed.
I just don't associate with people with that kind of taste.
So no.. I have seen very little if any of that stuff.

(5,810 posts)But then again, I started opting out of seeing every reposted item from certain right wing sites. Not unfriending relatives....just the right wing trash they reposted. I don't get upset with them so much now and my blood pressure stays normal!

(6,342 posts)They dont wake up every morning and look for new polls. They don't turn on cable news and see what the talking heads are saying.
Now that the conventions have ended, most people will tune out until the debates.....especially when football starts.

(3,784 posts)One of my friends from high school is a cop and is one of those "the cops are always right" types that always sides with authority over the little guy. Tonight she posted some article from some conservative website talking about how the Fire Marshall here in Columbus (the one who Drumpf claimed kept people out of his little Klan rally) is a P.O.S. who needs to be fired for corruption. According to this article, Drumpf was right, and the Fire Marshall was picking on poor Li'l Donny for purely political reasons. Their smoking gun proving this? The fact that he was seen at an event with Andrew Ginther (Columbus' Mayor, who is also a Democrat), and it was rumored that he contributed to Hillary's campaign. Case closed, right?
Too bad not 2 replies later, someone posted an article showing that Dumb Donald AGREED to the crowd size of 1,000 people............IN WRITING a month before the event. Oops.
Other than this twit, though, there hasn't really been anyone pimping Drumpf. They've been staying out of my anti-Drumpf posts entirely, and many of my friends who are hardcore, "I'll never vote for a Democrat" Republicans are now talking about what a disgrace Drumpf is. Most of them are saying they'll either not vote or they'll vote for Gary Johnson, but I figure that any Republican who doesn't vote for Drumpf is a vote that can only help Hillary.

"Wishing Facebook would ban ALL political Post" Liked by about 20 people. I could identify about 15 of the 20 - all of them are also people who have been posting Republican/Conservative crap for years. Now they wish all political posting would stop.

I don't miss them.
It was that block their postings.
Life is to short to deal with fools like that.
