    Default Brace yourselves....

    The annual tradition of Republicans pretending they are not allowed to say "Merry Christmas" is coming...


    Will the war on Christmas be such a big deal this year, Bill O'Rilley is still on "retirement"?

    Yea, because you can't find anything to buy. Shelves are empty. And I figure that, like Thanksgiving, if people want a traditional Christmas meal it will cost the most it ever has.

    Christmas is not about the stuff you buy, however I have already found exactly what my kids have asked for, and its not about eating the traditional foods. Even Thanksgiving is not about the food. You seem to have really missed the point of the holidays.

    But am I to take this to mean you are abandoning the lie that you cant say "Merry Christmas" anymore?

    They sure try hard to take the Merry out of it. They politicized their own big day.

    LOL ... You don't really know me after all the years of posting on the same message board if you are going to lump me in with the likes of O'Reilly, Limbaugh, et al. I might agree with "some" things they say but the Christmas thing...that's nuts. I say Merry Christmas to everyone...and don't even celebrate it as a "religious" holiday.

    Back to "traditional" meals though. They will be the most expensive ever, with the highest price jump since 2015.

    I'm sure there are those who would argue with you about the holidays not "being about" traditional foods. For some that is what they are all about. The meal. The time spent dining together for that one meal with traditional, handed down family recipes. But there are so many who would like to change "tradition" in this country. I get it. Maybe some needed to be changed but one can only push so far.

    Let’s hope he gets vaxxed




    In 2005, Starnes underwent surgery for a near-fatal heart valve condition exacerbated by obesity, the subject of his first book, They Popped My Hood and Found Gravy on the Dipstick (2009).[

    I can eat oatmeal if its with my family and friends Id be very happy.

    The shelves aren't empty where I live. I can find everything I need, just like always.

    So you're either bullshitting like a good right wing minion or you truly believe the bullshit the right is telling you.

    Which is it, looneyright?
    Judge Juan M. Merchan wrote that Trump “appears to take the position that his situation and this case are unique and that the pre-trial publicity will never subside. However, this view does not align with reality.”
