Be me.
>Staff meeting, sitting at round tables. I have one woke colleague on my right, not sure about one one left, but kind of presume leans conservative.
>I'm on my laptop multitasking w ears on the presentation for the most part.
>Sneak a peak a Drudge Report and couldn't help but laugh a little at headline about Cohen getting 3 years and crying about it.
>Colleague on left leans toward my screen, asks what I'm laughing about
>I point to the headline.
>Colleague says, "he should have gotten more, I can't stand him..unbelievable what he's gotten away with."
>I don't respond, just kind of nod
>Colleague persists, says "Did you see him at Bueh's funeral? He didn't even pray along with everyone else. Everyone was praying, but he just sat there."
>Now I am confused.
>Who? I ask.
>Colleague says, "Trump. Trump the scoundrel didn't even pray along with everyone else."
>I say, "Well, I don't think Trump is Catholic and a lot of non-Catholics don't know and don;t want to say Catholic prayers"
>Colleague says, "Who doesn't know the Lord's prayer?"
>I say, "Oh. I thought you meant the Apostle's Creed or something." Shrug. I don't know, maybe he doesn't like the new version the pope changed."
>Colleague, now wide-eyed in incredulity says, "Well, I can't stand him."
>I say, "Really? I like him a lot. I am a huge Trump fan."
>Colleague almost shit pants. Says, "Oh. I didn't realize.",,,I am sorry." and kind of backs away, but continues…"I just think he's a scoundrel, so corrupt."
>I say, "Oh, that's okay. I feel the same way about the Clintons."
>Colleague, lips tight now, barely can contain himself.
>"well, I am sorry, I didn't realize you like Trump so much."
>I say, "Oh yea, I really like him. Went to a Trump rally this past summer and had a great time."
>Now colleague's face is contorting like a gargoyle's, says, "Well, I am sorry, but I just can't stand him."
>I say, "Oh, that's fine. You're entitled to your opinion. That's the great thing about America. We still have free speech."
>Hrmph. Colleague on left is speechless now, turns away back to meeting.
>Woke colleague on right winks.
>Me…KEK
