  • Yes. A half dozen photos, most in focus. And a video, even!
  • I managed to take a single decent photo.

  • I couldn’t get my phone out of my pocket/bag and open the photo app in time.

Last week, she said Democrats are “lazy” and “want free money from the government”.

Yesterday, I described Trump voters as “malignant” and “stupid”.

She got upset, saying I was describing people she knew. I told her I was describing people I know as well. When she mentioned her son is a Trump voter and she didn’t appreciate me calling him “malignant” and “stupid”, I reminded her of the remark she made about Dems and that it applied to me and my daughter, regardless, I am sorry, etc.

Her response? “Completely different.”

Is it?

  • Yes
  • No
