Well bummer

I have a Facebook Friend who posts a LOT of liberal/progressive stories. He, in turn, has a friend (FoF) who is the quintessence of the cro magnon conservative. For many months, I have gone to my friend's Facebook page to look over what he has posted, and from time to time seen posts from FoF, usually with some snotty response to liberal stuff or the usual "what about" irrelevancy. Most of the time I ignore FoF, but sometimes I responded.

The last time I responded was on July 22 after FoF had disparaged FDR and JFK as adulterers and womanizers. I responded to him with a brief history of Trump's sexual history (numerous affairs, five children that we know of by three different women, the vulgar comments about women, both under age and married). Based on that history, and using the same measure FoF used to judge FDR and JFK, what was his estimation of the moral character or family values of President Trump?

I didn't hear back from FoF for these past 10 days, so I checked my friend's friend list, and apparently FoF isn't friends with my friend anymore. I'd feel very bad if FoF unfriended my friend because I wasn't properly deferential to FoF.

I'd feel very, very bad. Believe me. Bigly bad.

Let these morons have it. Their day of Reckoning will soon be at hand and they need to be badgered and pestered all the way off the cliff.

That is so far past normal.

Men, is a tie 6-8" below your belt EVER seen?
