Knives may come out at post-election Thanksgivings

Thanksgiving, a holiday with a carving knife built into it, looks fraught with even more peril this year.

Families, like everyone else, are still smarting from the election. This time around, turkey day could be a battleground state all its own. Relatives on opposite sides of the spectrum who discover themselves on opposite sides of the holiday table may find their composure as wobbly as a plate of cranberry sauce

Remember these stories back in 2008 and 2012? Only back then the libtard writers were giddy over going home for Thanksgiving and rubbing the election results in their republican relations.

My how the tone has changed....I wonder why??

[ronniesgal]

not necessarily. I do not miss my parents at all.

[forgotten man]

I have heard stories, some probably true, about liberal relatives trying to get their conservative relatives fired from their jobs because of political beliefs discussed at Thanksgiving Dinner. I can do without that crap.

100% Trump celebration around my table!

[HiTech RedNeck]

It’s hard to be charitable to the lefties, but remember the problem is that the devil has turned them into worry warts.

[HiTech RedNeck]

because the shoe has gone on the other foot?

[Charles Martel]

Does anyone know if the old bird has been pardoned yet?

[Augie]

Since Mom died, there are exactly *zero* libtards in my extended family.

I miss Mom, but I don’t miss her stupid libtard bullsh*t.

Equally wary is Janet Yieh of San Francisco, who said she and her family of four will be the only non-Trump relatives at a Thanksgiving gathering in her ancestral home of De Kalb, Texas, where, she said with a sigh, everyone is “opinionated.”

Says the person from San Francisco!

I wonder if this egghead held her tongue at the previous eight Thanksgiving dinners.

[Not A Snowbird]

I’m going to dinner with a newly found cousin. I have no idea what her political proclivities are; fortunately we’ll be in a public cafe so there shouldn’t be too much shouting.

[Uncle Miltie]

Butterball

[BenLurkin]

The more I read of this article, the more I think it is satire!

[BenLurkin]

Doubtful.

She was probably crowing in 2008 and 2012.

[Ray76]

More nonsense spouted by LOSERS

[Gene Eric]

The Left has raped the sanity of half the Country.

[Wyrd bið ful aræd]

I’m lucky...No moonbats in my immediate or first layer of extended family. I have plenty of 2nd cousins, great-aunts, etc, that are leftwing true believers, but I’ve never been close with any of them for geographic and chronological reasons.

They tell me that there is a turkey in that picture.

You’re skipping over the secession part.
