My adored liberal relative believes, it seems, that people who flip houses are greedy capitalists who take affordable housing away from those who need it. I think house flippers deserve every penny for bringing neighborhoods back to life and rescuing blighted properties. If they’re doing it honestly and in a quality way, bravo.

Then tell them when they sell their house, they should sell if for what they paid for it or less, and to not accept any Capital Gains from stocks nor any other investments.  Are they Pot smokers by any chance?  lol! 

I have used both of those with my in-laws, and I thought they were effective.  But the problem is that liberals tend not to hear anything they don't want to, and logic doesn't really apply in their world.  As for Ginsburg, they said there would be more cancer survivors if everyone had good health insurance.  As for the Hong Kong example, they refuse to acknowledge that that could happen here.   

The basis for all Progressive thought are lies, emotion, and more lies.  I never start political conversation with my relatives.  If they try to bait me with Trump hate, I will respond, but I never get angry, nor show emotion.  I will respond with facts.  If they ignore the facts, then too bad.  That's on them.  Then later I can mix in some of my NRA "American Rifleman" magazines with theirs on their coffee table, and in their guest bathroom. 

We all know pretty much where each of us stands.  My sister greets me with "Happy Genocide Day."  I say "We didn't kill them all, there are still a bunch on reservations."  Have a laugh and then we get on with family stuff.  We tease each other with politics but it stays fun.  We know that we won't change any minds so we just go with it.

I prefer the Steve McQueen line to Eli Wallach in the Magnificent Seven. 

I avoid political talk at family gatherings, I want to just enjoy being family.

I do too.  I have some Jersey relatives.  I mean like ya know, right?

Odd how "donations" to the Clinton Foundation plummeted when Felonious lost the 2016 election.

Anybody with eyes, and half a brain can see that the Clinton Foundation was/is purely a money laundering operation to finance the Clintons fun, profit and politics.  The fact that they lost $16.5 Million in 2018 since Hillary LOST to Trump (lol!) should tell even the deaf, dumb, and blind something.

Prince Andrew didn't kill himself!

LOL!  And Ghislaine Maxwell (Epstein's former GF, then Madam) didn't either! 

They don't want Nuke either. 

In my area the big protest is over a new gas pipeline being put in RIGHT NEXT TO the old one to carry different product from the fracking fields in northern and western PA to Marcus Hook on the Delaware River some of which is to be liquefied and exported.  HUGE boom for the economy and great for energy in general.  They are fighting it tooth and nail for "environmental reasons".  They are too stupid to realize it is much more dangerous to transport by rail, or road, and may make the economics so it isn't worth it.  Duh!  Idiots!

Oh, and the pipeline runs through my development one property over from me.  The one that is already there has been there for almost 100 years.
