Politics and family gatherings don't mix

Jimmy Kimmel's wife, Molly McNearney, has alienated herself from her Trump supporting relatives who send her "truly insane" replies to her emails, underscoring the depth of the divide and the futility of her efforts to sway their opinions. Of course, she sees nothing insane about her feeling entitled to force her opinions on everyone else.

My thoughts are when getting together with family this season, everyone make a pact to leave politics at the door and don't waste the chance to actually enjoy the people you love.

Make your house a no politics zone for the holidays.

Comments

I have a different approach.

I don't spend my holidays, or any part of my life, with fascists and fascist sympathizers.

There's a saying in Germany: Wenn ein Nazi am Tisch sitzt und zehn andere Leute mit ihm reden, dann hat man einen Tisch mit elf Nazis.

(If there's a Nazi at the table and ten other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with eleven Nazis)

Snoofy,

"I don't spend my holidays, or any part of my life, with fascists and fascist sympathizers."

I'm sure they're really disappointed you don't show up.

Yeah we just don't invite my uncle and his wife, the only MAGAts in our extended family, to gatherings anymore. No one wants to have to hear their BS. Their kids and grandkids show up every year and we have a wonderful time.

Kind of telling that they chose to spend time with the rest of the family rather than their parents.

There's a saying in Germany ...

There is a saying in the old Jarhead Clan.

"The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi."

So you don't want to invite me or my clan to a dinner table with a Nazi.

It won't end well for the Nazi.

We've got a Erika Kirk fan coming to our table.

This is going to be fascinating since I can't keep my mouth shut entirely.:]

Red,

"This is going to be fascinating since I can't keep my mouth shut entirely."

Why not?

What's wrong with you?

#8 | Posted by BillJohnson at 2025-11-20 12:48 PM

Red,

If self control is not possible, maybe do everyone a favor and just not show up.

Why ruin the day?

#9 | Posted by BillJohnson at 2025-11-20 12:51 PM

Red,

You should hear it from someone now instead of then.

I'm a stranger and no better person to say it because I don't know you or care.

But...really...just bite your tongue even if other people don't.

Be the grownup in the room.

Red,

This is going to be nasty holiday season.

People need to put on their big boy pants and show some self control.

#12 | Posted by BillJohnson at 2025-11-20 12:56 PM

Red,

And if you can't drink and have self control, watch how much you drink.

Don't use alcohol as an "excuse" to run your mouth.

My friends and family members put our relationships ahead of our politics.

Not really a drinker, this is more because she has ruined her relationships with her daughters over this stupid topic.

I would rather have the kids over than her.

This black sheep has plenty of food and charm to share.

I'm not usually a "fan" of anybody.

I like discussing ideas but not necessarily everything a particular person says.

No one is right all the time.

Oh, really? They won't come because of her choices.

She knows nothing about politics, but knows all because she is Godly.

Evangelicals and their grotesque mega-church theatres be damned, Erika is spooky product of her parents.

I'm prepared to be told how "great" her "God" is, but would rather have the kids over 100%.

Agreed! Instead, why don't you regale them with your opinion on how sticking your fingers inside the private parts of others is no big deal? Should bring everyone together!

Keep in mind Erika Kirk just lost her husband.

#21 Charlie Kirk was murdered because the murderer hated Charlie Kirk. He was killed for whatever reason the murderer had for murdering Kirk.

Meanwhile, Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman (and her husband and their dog) were all shot and murdered in cold blood - all of this in front of their daughter. The killer shot and wounded another lawmaker before he was ultimately caught. The murderer had a list of additional lawmakers he was targeting for murder. Their sin? THEY WERE ALL DEMOCRATS.

But, there were no calls or orders that flags should be flown at half-staff. There was no post on Delusion Social denouncing the killings. Not even a call to the Governor of Minnesota to express sympathy and solidarity against political violence. Nope. None.

In the case of Charlie Kirk, he was killed for whatever reason the murderer had for murdering Kirk.

In the case of the Hortmans, they were killed because they chose to be Democrats.

Censor,

There's a massive difference between normal seduction and rape.

One of the problems we've built into modern relationships is the constant double standards and mixed messages.

A lot of women out there want to be pursued, but society teaches them to behave like they don't.

Men figure this out and then get chastised for giving women what they actually want but aren't allowed to say.

Gay men typically don't deal with the same mixed messages. The dynamic is usually more direct and up front.

#25 | Posted by A_Friend at 2025-11-20 02:42 PM

Red,

Or have everyone select a red or blue button when they walk in to wear. Or wear no button if they want to steer clear.

You've made your statement where you stand and now the conversation can flow without offending.

Actually, that might be setting up the room for WW III.

Erika's tears are fake, btw. There is footage of her applying them before she walks on stage. So strange how she continually wipes her eyes, unless it's by design for her rube audience.

That said, I'm no monster evidenced by my concern for her adult children not able to come over due to her full-faith idiocy.

She doesn't want to change, refuses to make peace with the kids. Her "great God" needs to revoke that model.

Do you believe that Tyler Robinson is that hater?

Egyptian military aircraft followed TPUSA to 70 locations.

Right after Kirks assassination their transponder in Utah was turned on, presumably to make a GPS phone call, then turned off again.

Also, why did Robinson allegedly quickly disassemble the rifle on the roof just after allegedly shooting Kirk, then leaving that same rifle put back together along a nearby road.

Did you know that no cameras are permitted to show Robinson walking, even in court? I wonder why?

Nothing to do with Kirk turning down $150 million from Netanyahu to not break from Zionism just days prior to his murder?

You might want to do any research - it's a hot, hot, hot topic everyplace online.

#27 | Posted by redlightrobot at 2025-11-20 02:55 PM

#27 All I said was that Kirk was killed for whatever reason the killer (or killers) had for taking him out.

The Hortmans were murdered simply because they were Democrats.

I'm not sure what all of the other stuff you posted has to do with that straight-forward observation.

Will that be your dinner conversation or later when everyone retires to smoke a J or have drinks?

Just curious.

You think that Trump was seducing that woman in the dressing room? By sticking his fingers in her? You may need some romance lessons lessons. Allow me to edumacate you:

How to Learn the Art of Seduction
https://www.wikihow.com/Learn-the-Art-of-Seduction
I understand that you may differ in the way your approach the ladies. Perhaps create your own wiki article:
1) barge into her dressing room
2) bend her over and stick your fingers inside of her
3) refuse to testify at your own trial, pleading the fifth,
after loudly proclaiming that only guilty people do that sort of thing
4) claim everything is a hoax and block the production of any evidence that would prove that
5) cash in on the morons with a Ponzi Trump coin scheme

Lessie here... Equivocating NAZI with Trump is bad, okay.

But NAZI affiliate themselves with Trump, what's the distinction?

Evangelicals promote the same bigoted hate laws that divided Germany.

Besides which, they believe that drag queens are dangerous to children and turning kids into furries.

But you are right, perhaps the leanest holiday season will just condition people into submission.

What's there to even be a fan of, when it comes to Erika Kirk?

She has zero accomplishments and zero personality.

She wouldn't be famous if it weren't for her husband's death. She's famous like Rodney King is famous, not for who she is or what she did, but because of something that could have happened to anyone just happened to affect her.
