And she feels "safe" discussing them online in the open with me.

I just hope Don the Con has someone with experience in his cabinet who can answer that question when America is facing its next critical situation overseas.

People only scan the headlines and dismiss it as partisan.
I had a problem w a friend who thinks she's getting a huge tax break and was angry I criticized "filthy rich motherfuckers" for selling out this country over greed. She makes a good salary- but it's about 1/8 of what i was calling filthy rich. Because her bigot boyfriend promised her she'd get a big tax cut (and he hates me, because he's an abusive cheating pos who hates liberals) just so she would think I'm talking about her. She's a smart girl, but can't be arsed to read beyond headlines or do any research.

Tell your friend you'd like to discuss the article after she reads it.

Thanks

It's so hard leading them to the water.

I need to cut way back on social media.

That "friend" eventually blew up on me and said she chose to be positive and happy and didn't want to hear it.
It's kind of a metaphor for her life. she ain't happy, bit if she can fake it successfully... she's happier.
