Waiting in line to get my taxes done today with AARP. [View all]

Sat next to a pleasant old guy and struck up a conversation. I said I’m not donating 3$ to the presidential election because the billionaires can pay their own way. He said yes. Trump could give him the money since he was going to win anyway. And had I heard that Bloomberg was having HRC as his running mate? I said that this was a joke, but no, he assured me... it was true because it was on the news this morning. I asked him if he had heard this on Fox News and he said yes indeed, Fox News. So of course he knew that it was true. He said that Bloomberg better watch his steps because with her for a running mate, someone was certain to “do him in.” He added that at least we didn’t have to worry about Biden since he was the biggest crook of all, placing his son on the government payroll where he proceeded to rob them blind.

I just nodded and excused myself to use the ladies room, and on my return, finding another seat.

As another DUer said here a few days ago, I don’t have the experience to deprogram cult members, so I just step away. I’m never entirely sure when they will begin to seizure and foam at the mouth. That much kool aid is extremely toxic and at some point the human brain will have to rebel and cleanse itself. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want any of that saliva getting on me.
Aaarrrrgghhhhh!
