The political climate and Trumps divisiveness are destroying this country. Today I had to remove several Right Wing FB friends from my friend list following a nasty exchange. Therefore, I have put the following notice on my timeline.
I can no longer deal with trumps minions and supporters and refuse to let them upset me. DONE..

It feels rather freeing. I've been trying to keep my mouth shut for fear of offending some old HS friends.. Many of them have really bathed in the Kool-Aid and are quite nasty. So... poof... they are gone. And an invitation to those feeling as they do to do the same.

Speaking of right wing friends, I logged into Senior forums yesterday to copy some of the journal stories I had posted there so I could paste them over here and I saw that Lara had unfriended me.

My FB Friends list is pretty leaned-out. There are a couple relatives that drink the kool-aid and post mindless $h!t....I have them unfollowed but still friends.
Edit: Yuh got me curious so I went to SF and looked at my profile, I can't log in since I'm banned, but I can search the forum. Ironic, my last post there (that wasn't deleted) was exactly a year ago, today, on June 19th. Falcon is still a 'friend', he probably doesn't remember that he friended me way back...I see Robusta got banned over there, how did that happen?

Yep I got a permanent ban for being continuously rude and controversial. There was a thread that was harping on parents letting children scream in stores. I was trying to make them look at it from though the parents eyes. I made up a story about making my kid behave by hitting her. I was immediately branded a child abuser,even though there was not a single true word in the story. Even Falcon called me vile names on the open forum and my inbox is full of hate ans death wishes.

Whoa, you hit a raw nerve with those folks, you'd think they all would be Dr. James Dobson "spare-the-rod-spoil-the-child" fans.

A couple of you, here, are "friends" with me on Facebook. I certainly do enjoy the postings from yourselves and sites like "Occupy Democrats". I, however, choose not to post anything political. I love my friends who share my dislike of this corrupt and incompetent administration. I respect those who have differing political opinions... as long as those opinions to NOT disparage my family or our Country. Recently, one of the "Trumpeteers" has shared two memes that suggest the inhumane treatment of children separated from families is comparable to the separation military families experience during deployments. The first one got me angry. The second resulted in me unfriending him and posting the following explanation on my home page.
We are blessed to live in a Country where every person can hold strong political opinions. So many have sacrificed all to keep us free, guaranteeing “liberty and justice for ALL”. I refrain from posting political memes as I respect the right of a person to hold their opinions, even though I may vehemently disagree. On one subject, however, I must make a statement. Those sacrifices made by our military and their families are appreciated. So many do not understand that those sacrifices are a harsh reality to not only the active duty soldier, but by his/her family. Deployments see a spouse and children left to meet the challenges life brings them all by themselves. The deployed spouse won’t be home for the evening… home for the weekend… home every other week. He/she is gone for from 6 months to a year… in harm’s way the entire time. When the spouse does return to his/her family there may be severe emotional issues to deal with as a result of PTSD. It is a life most of us would have great difficulty being part of. Every day we enjoy the freedoms and liberties earned through the sacrifices of both active duty military and their families. This is why I cannot suffer those who post memes that try to use the spouses and children of our military families to justify the inhumane treatment of immigrant children. These are two entirely different issues. Those who would use our military and their families as justification for an unrelated political opinion are denigrating those sacrifices. Hold whatever political bent you wish. That is your right and I will honor and defend that right, even though I may disagree with you. Use the sacrifices made by our military and their families to espouse that political bent and I will lose my respect for you and your opinion in a heartbeat!

Well, looks like things are getting even nastier with this whole banning people incident, so add me to having to clean house. Well, I at least had to tell someone off and let them go as she could just make her attack toward a Maxine Waters by calling her a fascist, she had to say fascist "black" woman among other derogatory comments. Mind you, I don't condone what Waters has been saying, but Trumpeteers are making it a racial issue whenever a person of an ethnically minority group speaks out against something his people do or say. I probably shouldn't have posted the photo of MLK shooshing DJT. I thought it was a funny pic wasn't expecting that kind of backlash.

I think the picture of MLK shooshing the Liar-In-Chief is wonderful. Thanks for sharing it here. I am proud of Maxine Walters and I'm glad she said what she said. The Republicans, especially the Liar-in-Chief, can do and say whatever the hell they want, to whomever the hell they want, and whenever the hell they want. But, if a Democrat dares to "give it back to them" they're suddenly outraged and offended by such behavior. They speak with forked tongues. If you made them stick out their tongue I swear you'd see a split right down the middle. They truly are deplorable.
