maybe you'll be surprised...I just spent a week with Trumpy family and associates. they were surprisingly silent on basically anything in the news.
i also drove Austin-Conroe-Austin, Austin-Palestine-Tyler-Palestine-Austin...i counted a total of four properties still flying Trump paraphernalia.
my dad, who normally has FN streaming constantly in the background... only turned the TV on to watch a COPS marathon one night bc he smoked some of my weed and couldn't sleep 🤣
this was funny, though... he got rid of his cattle last year (too much work at his age). sitting on the porch enjoying the view, his ag exemption comes up, sister asks if he still has it, his response was something along the lines of 'well im not saying anything, they haven't either, we'll see if they figure out out, haha!' to which i replied "a-ha! there's that 'waste fraud, and abuse' the Texas DOGE is after, haha!"
i cannot adequately convey his response lol...i mean he's my dad so i know the nuances of his personality. he made some noise like 'hnuhph' and got this look
but said nothing. sister actually snorted and had to go in the house.
also...he admitted his 401K is 'not doing great' and he's pretty pissed about it. he's lucky he has a RR pension and not SS. he does use Medicare as well as the VA, so we'll see what happens there.
i mean honestly it's not super fun to have to clown on your dad, but i mean...he put himself (and all of us) in this position. he's of perfectly sound mind. i have always said just bc you're old, that doesn't absolve you of anything. eat up, buttercup.
