Rufus69 Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 I was in Harris Teeter this morning when I happened upon a pretty heated conversation between two older guys in the wine department. They seem to know each other and it didn't take long for me to realize they were "discussing" politics. They were on polar ends of the political spectrum and they weren't agreeing on anything. What got my full attention was when one of the guys screamed out..."well, if you support The Cheeto, we can't be friends". Needless to say...that was profound. All of you know that I despise Trump. I do...and I don't see that changing anytime soon. But I have many friends who love the guy. And I don't see THAT changing anytime soon either. So what this little diatribe is about is this...I'm not gonna dump current friends that happen to love "Trumpy The Ass Clown". I reckon I can pity them...but as far as I'm concerned...we're all still friends. I'm not sure they feel the same way...but I hope they do. Like Ms. Violet said when I told her about what I overheard... "Rufus, we all gotta find a way to get along" I'm not saying 1800 tequila solves everything...but it solves a lot. Stay safe guys....

I AM IRONMAN Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 My best friend from college a true foxhole friend still after all these years is very liberal..hey he is in the music business! We would never end our friendship over politics and although sometimes we discuss it we respect each other but we try not to discuss it a lot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that you typed this part with what I assume was a straight face pretty much tells everyone everything they need to know about you. ✌️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
