For those who will meet up with family (and friends) this holiday season, here's some advice from Bill Maher on what to do. Summary: shut up about politics 🙂

While on the topic, wish you all the best of the holiday season! Oh, you could talk about site website with family. But then again, pass the gravy!

Yes and as he was saying it, it would also mean canceling his show since that's all he talks about...

no it wouldn't he said at family gatherings not on political comedy shows
shows how diff ppl take away many diff things from one idea or bit

@whiskywoman you might want to watch it again. "Let's stop talking politics to each other," is what he said. He also made a Thanksgiving suggestion at the end.

My friends have a rule when we go out, no religion and no politics and we all get along great.. no one cares what the other likes or doesn't like. My small family is all on the same page so there's no problem.

For Christmas, one side of my family, I agree, we avoid that discussion.

The other side, we give each other "donations" in each other's name, whether it's MPR (Minnesota public radio), Doctors without borders, Heifer international, or something similar, we're all on the same page, and we can discuss it and agree. Much less stress.

I'm going to save a ton of money this Christmas. I'm going to talk politics this Thanksgiving.

Excellent idea...and I am going to use it!

Very wise!

I just had to warn K about "Phonemageddon".
This will occur when my BIL speaks to his brother Alain on the telephone - (Alain supports 45 and thankfully lives down south).

During the last family celebration you heard Bob's half of the conversation get getting more and more heated - with an entire floor separating us.
It was spectacular.

We're also going to have to suppress ourselves - and have made plans to do so.
A child who is being indoctrinated into Catholicism will be coaxed into prayer.
Right before we eat.

(Oh yes the adults have heard me on that topic once.).
Once was plenty. I gave out the abuse warning too.
I think they heard me about "Don't leave the children alone with strangers". Particularly Catholic Clergy.

They were a bit bug eyed so I'm not sure? (And I don't drink). I just had to let that out.
I blurped. But I'm okay with that.

I love my family so I always strive to maintain the peace.

I wish you a lovely holiday - whatever you choose to do.
I hope you have a great time.
And we want pics of the feast.

Happy Thanksgiving Admin dude. Thankfully most of my family members don't bring up political talk during holiday get togethers. I'm fairly convinced that politics have a way of dividing people even more than religion does...

You too. Enjoy the holidays and here is the gravy ??

Happy hollendaise admin!

I didn't eggspect this kind of wordplay in the comments these so soon after starting a puns and portmanteaus group, you should consider joining if you like!

@Tampabrew one can always find devilish eggspectations around the hollandaise

@stinkeye_a I wouldn't tray-d them for the whirled

@Tampabrew where's the links?

@RavenCT I don't know my password to log in through a regular web browser, I can't copy a link using the app. Search pormanteau in groups

@Tampabrew "PUNdamental PORTMANTEAUtalitarianism" I meant that as a play on words! Too obtuse? And there is your link!
If you scroll to the very bottom of the group page the is a g: number sequence that will link the groups title.

I'm mad at bill Maher. He insulted stan lee.

He did what, now!? Oh, hell no!

@Kafir [amp.timeinc.net]

@LadyAlyxandrea Well, there goes a lot of my respect for Bill Maher... I suppose Neil Gaiman is now considered low brow since winning that Nebula Award for Sandman... Cough cough fuck that cough cough

Loved the man and his words inspired and will inspire many to be better people. Inserts gratuitous cat photo.... to soothe all Stan Lee fans.

BTW the Atheist Cat folks LOVED this one. We really miss him.

@Kafir, @LadyAlyxandrea, @RavenCT Yeah, him & AIG, which puts Bill in just great company. Yeah, disappointed in Bill, so off the mark...

@phxbillcee @Kafir, @LadyAlyxandrea Excelsior!! ❤ ❤ ❤

Stan Lee is dead. He CANNOT be insulted.

Spot on! Shut the fuck up is always the best at the holidays. In order to keep the peace ,if someone mentions politics I'm going to quickly interrupt them and ask them to pass the gravy
