Facebook: I've been invited to work on a local pResident trump reelection celebration

by one of my Facebook 'friends'. I read some of the big banner stuff and I was done.

I was stunned, so stunned that I was void of all clever comebacks.

I made sure this never shows up on my page again. I then shot a message to this friend saying "You must be joking." If they don't unfriend me this evening, I will do the honors.

and beyond your help, best thing is to let them go. Perhaps they will one day see the light, but hanging around them will only bring you down, you don't need their negative energy in your life.

and pretty much lives in her own little world. I'm sure her reaction to my reply will be something like. "What's wrong?" I suspect she has very little acknowledgement of the vast number of people that can't stand and will not vote for her hero.

Hope that thought doesn't come back to bite me.

I actually saw a guild on Elder Scrolls Online advertising to be a Trump friendly group to discuss 'truths' and other such .. Stuff. I was so tempted to join, just to see what they were saying. But my eyes and ears bleed enough from what I see about that disgusting blob, I couldn't bring myself to do it.

In other words thinking that I might be able to do any sabotage is probably not that realistic. Better not to even associate with those nut jobs.

Go into your privacy settings and under who can see your posts select friends and then you can select people on your list who can not see your posts unless you make them public. Snooze the person for 30 days at a time. 5his is what I do with Trumper relatives. Also it's keeping your enemies close.

Dear Facebook Friend,

I wanted to let you know someone must have highjacked your Facebook account. They put up an invitation to work on a local president trump reelection celebration and I thought you should know. It may make your Facebook friends think you’re a hateful, un-American person. I know you are not that so you might want to stop the troll who got into your account.

Your friend,
Norbert
