Apparently I'm at fault for all Trumps alleged short comings...My brother from Washington state texted a bazaar message of I'm "allowing the murder of "peaceful" protesters in ICE raids and that I should wake up!"

I never talk politics with him and just try to be neutral with him..after the 3rd insulting text, I finally responded that he should go sleep it off before he goes to far....lol

Of course he had to respond to that too....I swear there must be something in the water out there....he keeps it up and I'll fire him from being my brother...
Anyone else have issues with a family member?

My brother and i have barely spoken for near 10 years. Hard to believe we were raised by the same parents. Women can definitely change a man.

I too enjoy the joys of "unstrung" family members. Not only politics but religion as well.
As Mark Twain once said - "no amount of evidence will ever convince an idiot."

My sister and all her kids have erased me from their lives.

A few family members ( cousins ) and a guy that was my very best friend and hunting partner. Gone.

One of my Sisters is quite liberal and brought up her family that way. I tried to ignore that but at family gatherings they just kept at it. We no longer go to those events and avoid contact. I look at it as no big loss. We don't have kids and I'm sure my nephews on that side are expecting a sizable inheritance. They are in for a surprise.

I have a niece that thinks Joe Biden was one of the best presidents we ever had.

My wife's sister is a leftist. We have nothing to say to each other , my wife doesn't even talk to her. My mother gets her news and opinion from "The View" so I stay from anything like common sense with her, she doesn't get it.Silence is golden. Not going to change any minds either way

"I just want to say - you know- can we, can't we just get along"?

This thread reveals just how bad things really are in our Country. Seems every family have folks like this.

There are some seriously uninformed, uneducated, mentally un-well people all around us. Dang near seems like we're fighting a civil war already.

Ice is doing the same job they have always done it wasn’t them that changes the lawlessness is the difference today. The no illegal enforcement was started during the Obummer reign ICE was not allowed to process them if we picked them up it was catch and release zero enforcement of the rule of law. Extreme cases were the exception but many were released before they could figure that out.

The “story” of him being the great deporter has to be some total fuzzy math BS if he refused to use the main tools at hand to get illegals to ship back just where would he find record numbers then?

When people start to disturb your peace its time to cut them off.

This thread could easily turn political...especially if I was to mention some things on my mind about all of this.

Guess I'll take Thumper's advice.

my older sister is the quintessential Cat Lady.

we haven't spoken (other than a few words at funerals) for a few years.

her choice, not mine.

You can’t fix stupid. I sure do enjoy watching the dumbest of them get arrested though.

I have a life long friend that was a veterinarian, we are both retired

I have told him for 20 years it's a genetic problem with people that can't decipher facts and come up with the correct answer, right, left, or in the middle. Always left.

He finally agreed with me 2 years ago.

He's still at it this morning, about on my last nerve..

You got a different opinion? great, but that's not good enough, they have to berate you for being "stupid"....like it's going to change hearts and minds....got a nephew that's even worse, curses you out if you don't agree with him...

Love him as he's my brother, but geeze, he ain't making it easy....

In a few years when the other sides jackboot thugs are going door to door they will turn you all in.
Better turn them in now to the current jackboot thugs before the pendulum swings back.

Ive got friends and family with opposing views. We're smart enough to not argue about it and LOVE each other
with no reservations. I couldn't imagine letting politics or religion impacting the love of my family.

Well said Turtle.

Sometimes I think it just boils down to the having some tolerance and being able to see another point of view. ie: Some of us see people exercising their first amendment rights as domestic terrorists, and some see it as just peaceful protestors.

I guess it depends if it happened at the capital on a Jan 6th or in the streets of a big city in the last week.
