Standing in line at a truck stop in Utah and over hearing a conversation.

The guy in front of the line was arguing with a female cashier about Trump. I had not heard the whole conversation. He got everyone 's attention when he started to get upset with her because she didn't support Trump. He actually told her that she was worthless and she ought to be home cooking & cleaning! That is when she let him have it! She told him he could carry his ass right out the door! He looked puzzled as she told him that she was a republican and the reason she had to work was she had to support her 3 children while her husband was serving in Afghanistan on his 2nd tour! The guy walked out not saying another word! After he left, we all started to laugh!

.... but then again a real man would never have supported a worthless piece of human garbage like Trump.

Trump supporters prove every day that some people are really just walking piles of stinking shit, beneath any consideration or compassion whatsoever.

as to bring up his politics with a stranger who's trying to do her job! Who the fuck does that? In what world is that acceptable behavior? It's almost as obnoxious as asking strangers if they have a personal relationship with Jesus. Not quite, but it's close.

If you support tRump, you must create an alternate universe to live in. If you are repub but do not support tRump, you must convince yourself that the rest of the GOP are not enabling him. The way I see it, both positions are untenable. As much as I applaud this woman for telling off the deplorable, I can't help but think she is somewhat deluded, too. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt because most military families are repubs.

that things would just keep getting better, but it took an unbelievable fight by Obama and an unimaginable amount of good policy and

informed thought for the good of our democracy to work around the hardcore Tea Party and the lobbyists and the Republican Party to

accomplish what he did.

We seemed to think it that they would see what had been done, and they would be accepting.

But No. They were, and still, are being whipped into a frenzy of irrational thought that tells them that it wasn't good enough and

anyone can do it, especially if they listen to the very rich and they put their faith in their religion. Mussolini and Hitler rose on these

platforms. Only they weren't preceded by one of the best leaders in American history. Oh yea, they were also encouraged to be racist

and bigoted.

A huge Democratic sweep this fall may save our country if we make it that far.

The families of our military need all the support we can give them in any way we can. We are all Americans first, before political party affiliation.

Currently at Offutt AFB in Nebraska on our way to Alberquerque. We stay at Military bases along the way. Cheyenne and Colorado Springs next. Nicer accommodations actually if one is retired military.

and as to the location of said spurs, they might not be on or near the feet, but they might just be found ... well you guess where!!

Shame of this old creep who never did a damn thing but complain and bully women around one might suspect!

he would have had to admit he was wrong. He learned that from Trump who NEVER admits he was wrong. He is of course wrong about pretty much everything. I have actually tried to think of something on which we agree. I have not found it yet.

I'm sorry to hear that w/ 3 kids, her husband is serving overseas in a hostile environment, working (probably full time, weird hours of the day probably), and struggling to maintain an even keel, to keep the household and kids going.

God, I love and respect her!!

Blessings to her and her family and hoping that all ends well, soon for her and the whole family.

Doing that job for the rest of us, the rest of us should find a way to send her to college if she wants to go, AND feed her kids while she's doing that.

But wtf do I know, I'm just a liburl cuck...
