I never talked politics with my sister. Just never came up. But due to the wonder of FB I learned that her entire fam, my sis/BIL and both nieces, are big Trump supporters!
One niece just got married. My daughter went to the bachelorette weekend in Chicago, and lots of the bridesmaids mom's went with. At a dinner one of the BM's mom got angry with the waitress, who was a black women. Among other slurs this women attacked the work ethic of people of that race.
now one might think my sister would distance herself from this person because the person is vile. But she instead apologized to my daughter privately; why? We think because she has a black SIL, which is weird. Like my family is more sensitive/offended to/by hate?
But at least it was good my sis saw that this was not okay.
Now she posts police lives matter shit, okay, they do, not the real issue, but yeah. Then a week ago she posts this "news" article- "White cop about to go maternity leave murdered by black thugs!"
I wrote her and asked she take it down. She did, but a few days ago she asked me why I asked her to take it down. Really? I think FB is either great because you can see who is evil, or it's horrible because you can see too much?

Congratulations, you are now a member of the despised elite.

His wife (they went to the same college) is also Not Cute (nttawwt) and Basic AF (mtswwt). He does not use Facebook or other social networking stuff as far as I can tell.

AF? Mtswwr?

Look, Dad, get with the times.
I think ncs ought to toy with this one a bit. Maybe tell him she's found him out and will only see him again if he makes a clean break.

The bar was full of people who were at a fight (boxing match) at the Forum. A bunch of Long Islanders/NYers were there for an afterparty because the guy who won the fight was from LI and was staying at the hotel. I ended up talking to a cute, age appropriate, single guy at the bar who was in town as part of the tv production team for the fight. We liked each other. The bar closed.
I went up to his room with him and we spent some time talking, making out (PG-13 level stuff), drinking. He was leaving on a flight this morning but travels a lot for work and will be back in LA next month. I left around 5 in an uber thinking this might be a fun diversion. I really liked this guy, which is rare for me.
So guess what dealbreaker I figured out after a quick google search of him today?

Long Island? Trump supporter.

It really is amazing what fb uncovers. There are people I've known for years who post the most disgusting shit. And I don't care how many cops you have in your family, if your first reaction to an unarmed black man losing his life to police is to post some Blue Lives Matter bullshit, I'm done with you.

By the way, there are some 250,000 amnesiacs in the US alone. They forget, the internet doesn't. So they are routinely seen as liars.

That sucks. On the plus side, he must be Not Bright to think that you couldn't figure all of this out in less than an hour. Single or married, he's too dumb for you.

So many people are! One downside of (1) no longer being a lawyer and (2) living in LA is that the number of really smart people I run into on a daily basis is exceedingly low. So if any of my lawyer friends care to set me up, I'd entertain promising leads.

On another note, about a year ago I hired a very bright paralegal who is stellar.
Only problem I saw is when she hung up a picture of the QB of a hated rival team. My son passed by her desk one day when she wasn't there and said "Shame you have to fire her even though she is good."

Don't get this. The Lions have never been good in my entire lifetime , so "rival" doesn't make sense. The Jets have been good, what, 3 years? That can't be a blood feud?
