Preparing for last family Christmas gathering - scotch involved.

[TomSlick]

I'm pre-partying with a decent single malt scotch for my parent's Christmas gathering.

The challenge is my brother. He moved to Kansas for his last assignment in the Army, married a local and stayed there. He is ultra-conservative even by Kansas standards. A hard-core Trumpster to the last - still convinced HRC ought to be in jail somewhere.

I don't know what happened to him. He was raised better. Our mother was a Democratic county office holder. Our father is a die-hard Democrat. It must be the water in Kansas.

I rarely get through any visit with him without a political argument but I really don't need that tonight.

Dona nobis pacem.

1. Just take a drink every time he spouts Fox Fallacies ....

Say "Fox Fallacy" and swig.

Your opposing rants will be far more entertaining. To you. Possibly others. So you will be happy and have helped create a holiday gathering retold for generations.

2. Good idea but not possible.

The parents are good Baptists - hence the pre-party.

My parents can't bear the political argument. I have to be obscure in my responses - too obscure for my parents and dear brother to understand.
