If his wife's initials are MB (maiden last name) and she's an RN that went to FSU and she's about 6 foot 1, I know exactly who she is. I went to high school with her.
Ha. Not the same crazy lady. I think she is from Destin. They live in Panama City now.

Hey @hanimmal, suggest to them that they do a youtube search on some of their favorite topics followed by the word "debunked".

The news yesterday was full of a story about a Facebook video that shows how to test your food for artificial ingredients. It is complete and utter horseshit claiming that "big business" is putting plastic in your rice. Yet it has been seen 93 million times. 93,000,000!

So they believe in chemtrails? Dare them to watch some videos after searching for "chemtrails debunked"

I am just posting this one because I like it so much. It shows the type of people involved in believing this shit.



Here's another. I love these people. "We never used to notice these ground level rainbows before." "This cannot be natural." "What the hell is going on?"

That spray video is hilarious, couldn't stop laughing at the kid getting annoyed by his mom.

Our trumptards are brexiteers and Farage supporters, best to just laugh at them and then avoid them from then on, whoever they are.
we have one who is now thoroughly convinced that putin is a nice guy and a victim of "fake news" and friend of level headed americans, sounds hopeless?
yes it is...

There does seem to be a bit of the, "make Americans mad again" movement going g around.

Don't get emotional.

My dad used to let my grandma move all the furniture around in our house, the house where she grew up. After she left we moved it all back.
People will often allow themselves to be browbeat in hopes they will get an inheritance.

Your dad should have told the noisy old lady to get the fuck out or at least locked her in the basement until she learned some manners.

They termed that "strategic bequest."

She had impeccable manners.

Note he didn’t venture into politics. A bonus point.
I am not sure that chemtrails are even in the realm of politics though they tend to be related. Kind of like flat-earth or anti-vax.

I remember having a conversation with somebody here who insisted that planes didn't make contrails when they were a kid. I posted some pictures of US bombers on the way to Germany with huge persistent contrails and suddenly the argument was we must have been using chemical weapons on Germany.

The primary thing isn't the politics, its that acceptance of rubbish knowledge that often becomes political or is manipulated by others into becoming so.

Technology (internet, ubiquitous cameras, etc.) is killing off the old ways and undoing the Age of Reason with unintelligent or over-religious people. I am strongly starting to suspect it will not be going away and yet cannot exist in a single successful country to the extent it does.

My father-in-law thinks Trump is the funniest guy on earth...but then again he did work for the KGB for 20 years.

He also happens to love me, but made it abundantly clear that would end immediately if I ever screw up with his daughter. 20 years later, I'm still here.
20-years married/ together, that great bro. Me and my wife been together 27 1/2 years.
