A post-election discussion with a MAGA

Why'd you vote for Trump? 
"He'll end the Ukraine war on the first day!"
Yeah, didn't happen. What else you got?
"He'll make groceries cheaper!"
He's about to implement tariffs, which will increase the price of groceries. Care to try again?
"He's a man of God!"
His favorite book is "Two Corinthians."
"So?"
Who, besides your orange messiah, calls it by that name?
"Everyone I know."
Liar. The guy wouldn't even place his tiny hand on the Bible while being sworn-in.
"So?"
He seems to make it a point to break every Commandment at least 45 to 47 times a week.
"No one's perfect."
The guy has compared himself to Jesus I don't know how many times.
"But it's kinda true when you..."
Have you ever read the Bible?
"Of course! It's my favorite book!"
Read the teachings of Jesus. They are antithetical to the words and actions of Lord Little Hands.
"Anti- what?"
Fine, antichrist. Donald Trump is literally 'antichrist.' Any other reasons?
"He'll end birthright citizenship!"
Do you believe in the Constitution?
"Yeah, who doesn't?!?"
Birthright citizenship is protected in the Constitution.
"So what?"
Yeah, okay, anything else, slick?
"Only women can play women's sports!"
Well, congratulations, he made it so the U.S. only recognizes two sexes - male and female. So where will transgender athletes compete? Will a transgender man be labeled as a man or a woman? What about transgender women? Who gets to decide and how do they come to said conclusion?
"That sounds complicated."
Trump only exacerbated the complications.
"Exagger-what?"
Don't worry about it. Have any other reasons why you voted for Trump?
"Because he'll make America great again!"
How so?
"He'll make us proud to be Americans!"
The Gulf of Mexico.
"What about it?"
When you hear 'the Gulf of Mexico,' what immediately comes to mind?
"Like water, and maybe Mexico. A gulf. I don't know."
What if we changed the name?
"To what?"
I don't know, how about the Gulf of America?
"Can we do that?"
In our minds, sure. Why not?
"Well, okay."
Would that make America great again?
"It'd be a start!"
Why?
"Because, you know, Murica!"
Jebus...
"What?"
Nothing. Have any other reasons why you voted for Trump? Please say no.
"Russia!"
What about Russia?
"Russia is like the greatest country in the history of the world!"
I thought America was.
"We're gonna be."
But Russia currently is?
"Well, yeah."
So, what, we're aspiring to be like Russia?
"Asperger's isn't politically correct."
That's not what I said. Holy lord... Okay, let's play a game - I'm going to say a name, and without thinking about it - I know you won't, blurt out the first thing that comes to mind. Got it?
"Okay, I'm ready."
Gorbachev.
"F*ck him! F*ck Gorbachev! F*ck communism! F*ck Russia! Russia sucks!"
Putin.
"Russia rules! Stay true to Putin! To Russia with love! Long live communism!"
Interesting.
"How'd I do?"
Are you down with KGB?
"What's that mean?"
Yeah, you know me.
"What are you talking about, bro?"
Shut it, comrade.

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
