Things more fun than watching your family get crucified by your friends on Facebook (re: trump)

My Aunt Becky made a comment on one of my posts (re: kids in cages never seeing their parents again) and I typically never respond to the rw faction of my family but just as I was about to do so, I see that 8 of my lefties viciously dispatched her before I could say anything.

They are saying what I would love to say but not ever dare do so. Many of them are way more erudite than I am and are ripping her to shreds.

If anyone here needs me to dispatch their relatives on social media, add me as a follower/friend/buddy and point me at them. This should be a thing from now on.

PS. Strangers that I don't know are now piling on in the comment section of the news story linked to. Oh this is great!!!

Obviously her christian spirit left her when she joined up w/ the devil spawn trump on his 4 year joy ride through Wash. DC. And what's sad about it, is that her despicable (I assume that her remarks were) remarks will be out there in digital land literally forever.

there are things about my extended family, friends, colleagues that I really don't want to know.

I was polite in my argument because I really respect my friend and was hesitant to do it. It was on racism. I would have deleted if friend wanted me to. But, she was very appreciative exactly for the reason you state, she was not allowed to cross the line.
