Why? Why are we still supporting and housing geriatric politicians? What job in the real world lets someone in their 80s keep going?

Flew in to surprise my grandmother for her 90th birthday yesterday.

Sitting there next to her, she asks one of her friends (my grandmother is not political at all) where another friend was, to which he replied.

“We didn’t invite her because she’s a dumacrat”

I turned to him and said, so what if I was, are you going to make me leave? Keep your politics out of my grandmothers celebration.

I yelled in all CAPs and added some ! So he’d understand his boomer language.

You can’t even have a simple get together anymore without the MAGAs injecting their level of narcissism.

Point and case, this beautiful and clever woman.

She must be protected at all costs

My boomer in laws came by for an unexpected visit.. while my husband is out of town. Normally I have him to play interference because they both stress me tf out. I thought it was the constant political chattering that was stressing me out, but after a normal Saturday with them I still felt my nerves were shattered and kept excusing myself to the bathroom to breathe. Then I realized from across the house, the rattling of the door jambs with them laughing- it’s the volume. They both have no indoor voice and speak over the other. It’s like a lawnmower and a weedwacker going non stop. Is this loud talking a boomer thing, or are they deaf? I tried putting my AirPods in and grandpa boomer keeps yelling HELLO in my face and asking if I can hear him. Yes. I can. The neighborhood can. Jfc im gonna snap.

Make 🇺🇸 Use its 🧠 Again!

She clearly had no idea what it meant and was promptly horrified when I explained it to her. She clarified with her daughter in law about the shirt and she said it wasn't appropriate. Safe to say, she will no longer be wearing this shirt.

To clarify, she is by no means a pedo at all. She taught for 45 years and is the best person imaginable. But sometimes, things go over her head.

My 17-year-old son has longer hair, it goes past his ears and touches his shoulders. My father-in-law is always saying to him, "when are you going to cut your hair?" In a half-joking manner. The other day I'm sitting with my FIL and he said to me, "Does the school every say anything to him about his hair?" He was serious, not kidding around. My son is a senior and has a 4.4 high school GPA in AP classes, has never received a detention or anything and is in leadership. He has longer blonde hair, and a girlfriend who loves it. The FIL is 74 years old and is a staunch Trump republican and, apparently, thinks it's 1960 and there are strict grooming guidelines in public high schools in California. These boomers are their completely out of touch with reality. I could go on a tirade about the much worse things he has said, but I was mowing my lawn and just thought of that incident this morning.

On Saturday night I took my wife's sister's husband and his FIL to see Tom Segura and Kirk Fox in OKC. The FIL is pretty vocal about being Pro-MAGA and while we've never got into a political discussion I am positive he knows where I stand politically. As we are driving past Tinker AFB on the way to the show he passed his phone up front to show us an ad about DOGE t-shirts. I just laughed it off and said yeah, I think Elon is regretting his time as a government employee lately. He went on to say to my wife's sister's husband that they should buy the T-shirts. I should point out that I am veteran who has worked for the VA for over a decade and has so far avoided getting laid off. Anyway, we attend the show (which was absolutely hilarious) and are heading back through Midwest City (Home of Tinker AFB) when the FIL points out how dead it is for a Friday night. I said yeah, that's what happens when out of touch billionaires just arbitrarily fire a couple of thousand hard working Okies in the name of "efficiency". He didn't have a response. These folks are either oblivious or heartless and in a lot of cases I think it's both.

She's 74,and recently moved there after living in Vegas since 1978.She had never lived in CA prior to moving there with her husband two months ago either lol

She also says that we need to force our military to go fight and die for Israel as God said so

I asked her why doesn't she just go there and fight since she's so passionate about it...she gave me a dirty look in response

These people just need to stfu

This despicable anti-vaxxer had the temerity to attend the funeral of another measles victim that he is at the least partly responsible.

Donald Trump made a deal with El Salvador President, Nicolás Maduro, to take suspected Venezuelan gang members off his hands and house them in a prison for a year, which now has the President thinking about who else he can ship off to Central America.

Possibly he's been watching mob movies because he seemed to have this answer locked and loaded with his attention turning quickly to "wise guys."

On his way back from a golf outing in Florida, making his return to Washington DC via Air Force One, Trump answered some questions from reporters with one asking about Americans being shipped off to El Salvador.

Standing in the doorway of the plane bathroom, Trump chatted with reporters with one saying President Maduro was willing to take American citizens into the federal prison population, asking Trump what he thought about it.

Trump said: "I love that. If we could take some of our 20 time wise guys that push people into subways and hit people over the back of the head and purposely run people over in cars, if he would take them, I would be honored to give them.

He added: “I don't know what the law says on that ... I'm all for it.”

“If they can house these horrible criminals for a lot less money than it costs us, I’m all for it.”

Last month the administration sent three planeloads of Salvadoran and Venezuelan deportees to El Salvador's notorious “Terrorism Confinement Center," claiming, without evidence, they were all gang members of Tren de Aragua. CECOT is an infamous mega-prison built to cruelly imprison up to 40,000 inmates. They arrived after Trump's deportation was seemingly halted by a court decision.

I’m in the IBEW and I had the displeasure of talking to a fellow member of the IBEW on a jobsite this past Friday.

He seemed like a level headed individual on the crusty layer until he started going on about the talking points we all here often listen too, the economy the tariffs the identity politic issues etc

Now I thought I’d give him some slack he’s a brother in my union and I’ll try my best to educate him and try and explain how this stuff isn’t good tariffs are awful and how we are going to be the people who pay this difference. he kept telling me that’s not the case and that other countries have higher tariffs and their GDP went up (??? Other countries that do this have a way different economic structure then the US)

Wasn’t sure he ever would so we ended up talking about other stuff and it hits me. This is someone’s dad & grandfather. He’s got hobbies with sound and video he’s interested in technology of all sorts he’s a hard worker but for some reason he’s just latched to these weird ideals and this rich draft dodging good for nothing naysayer with a silver tongue has sold him snake oil and he bought it with his entire 401K. I couldn’t help but just be hurt by not only a back stabbing union member of my own union falling in love with the ideals of a man who wouldn’t flinch if he could eliminate all unions in a snap. The worst part? Apprentices work under this guy people who look up to him as a teacher malleable minds ready to be molded sure he will teach the trade but he sprinkles his weird shit in there too. I guarantee it.

I really hope he figures it out soon. Hurts to see people like this man.
