One more thing. lol. I live in a very "red" part of NYS. A lot of pick up trucks and other vehicles with trump bumper stickers on one side of their bumper and "lock her up!" on the other side. Let it go already you idiots!
We no longer have any bumper stickers on either car. Been there - done that. lol. This morning I received a "#CloseTheCamps" sticker. It's small. About the size of my cell phone and I was tempted to throw caution to the wind and put it on my car. But, I'd be worried all the time. Who needs some big hairy guy in a HUGE SUV or pick up truck with American flags propped up in the bed flapping in the breeze, pushing me off the road? Not I.
And so it goes in the land of the friggin free!

nashville11, yeah, I was going to throw in a Finland reference (I'm half Finnish), but didn't bother. We beat Russia in the Winter War, BTW. They were always trying to take over Finland.

Pat, it's interesting how we imagine different states. I always imagine New York, especially anywhere within the vicinity of NYC (which I think is the area you live in -- Long Island maybe?) as being very liberal. Just goes to show there is diversity of political opinions everywhere. I know people here always talk about CA as if it is Haight Ashbury in the 1960s. When having lived there I know there is a wide mixture of political allegiances just like everywhere else. People often think everyone in TN is a backwards, red necked, hillbilly but that's not the case either. We're so quick to put labels on people and geographic areas even when we really have no idea what it's really like there. I can definitely understand your reluctance though about a bumper sticker. Unfortunately there are idiots everywhere.

Another mass shooting in El Paso, TX. It almost seems like one a day at this point. 22 injured, "multiple fatalities". No one will do anything about it.

And so it goes in the land of the friggin free! I live in the "bluest" part of New Mexico, which is a blue state. But, there are Trump supporters, even a couple of our friends (we do NOT discuss politics). I've seen a couple of Trump bumper stickers and I am SOOOOOO tempted to go and write "SUCKS" on top of them.

Luanne, lol! I got a great visual reading your post. I saw you sneaking up on one of those vehicles. It's dusk. You're dressed all in black with a can of spray paint in your hand.
Thanks. I needed that laugh. Too funny. Lol.

I don't get it. I'm tired of trying to figure them out. Actually, I'm tired of them.

Lani, it is insane, isn't it? Smoking is banned just about everywhere because it's bad for your health.
But any lunatic can buy a gun or high speed rifle and that's fine and dandy.
Either we are insane or dumb. Or, both.
Amendments can and should be amended according to the mental state of our citizens.
I know people need protection. Especially women. We do not need the same kind of killing machines the military uses. You don't need to blow a criminal to bits. A hand gun will do the job.
Years ago I had a cop tell a friend if you shoot an intruder breaking in your home drag the body inside the house. A lawyer could always say the intruder was lost and needed directions. He wasn't actually inside your home yet.
Looking for directions after climbing up a very long and winding hill.at 3 in the morning? Why not try the 7-11 down the block?

. . . No one will do anything about it. And that is the sad, ugly truth. One more time it will just get swept under the rug, and we'll hear more platitudes about thoughts and prayers. How did we ever become this?

Not I. birdgal ,But what a temptation to post that wee sticker. nashville11 , Joyce - Lawnguyland is pretty red, as is Queens (then they move to Fla. and infect that state. Upstate N.Y is also RED......( we have relatives there on both sides of our family....lol) talk about pearl clutchers! NYC, Westchester County, and then over to Southern Ct Fairfield County (gold coast) are mostly blue. Central Ct outside of Hartford red. D.H and I have a game we are playing when we go out driving. No name for it yet, maybe we should call it "TRUMP VOTER/NON TRUMP VOTER." You can't call it if they are wearing a red hat.....too easy a give away. lol

LOL! Anne that sounds like a game DH and I have. When we see someone do something either really stupid or really selfish, we say "Trump voter." LOL! I also have one hummingbird who is a bully, we call him Trump too.
