  • My MIL watches Newsmax now, since Trump said Fox was liberal media.

    She hasn’t heard of a single gaffe Trump has made in his rallies. Hasn’t heard of how he said Biden would start WWII, hasn’t heard he said he ran against Obama in 2016, hasn’t heard about how he accused Nicki Haley of refusing his offer to send 10,000 officers to the Capitol on Jan 6. No reports on how his speeches decend into word salad when he looks away from the teleprompter.

    She HAS heard that Biden is doing nothing about the border, but not about Republicans refusing to pass Biden’s border bill. She believes Biden is a fascist leading the country into communism, that Trump is a godly man, etc etc etc.

    It’s so hard to talk with her now. She used to be a far left liberal, burned her bra in the 60s, pushed for women’s rights. Then she started watching Fox “News” and got brainwashed.

    Some media may be making his idiocy/dementia/whateverthehelliswrongwithhim news, but a large chunk of the country doesn’t ever see it.

    Media who do report this stuff is preaching to the choir.


  • I actually agree with you much more than I disagree.

    It’s part of a family trust, meant to be passed on. Think 150 year old home that hasn’t been renovated since the 60s.

    It is near a university and has several bedrooms, so it’s generating enough income to help pay her rent. It is literally worth more as a rental than a sell. And one day my poor kids will have to deal with this millstone around their necks.

    If my MIL did sell, it would probably be torn down and replaced with an apt complex/student housing.
