nope Rawky, I saw similar comments from my family over Brexit, needless to say we are no longer close... 

Hang in there Rawky   You can overcome it   

You have your point of view and thy have theirs, and if they can't come together and see each others, well.........

I had to temporarily block several people in the wake of Conservative win ....and Brexit ....but from the other side of the equation This too will pass Rawky ....not worth falling out with people over things you can't change

But why block people Bazzy, surely we're all entitled to our opinion, be it good or bad  

Perhaps you're all taking this a tad too seriously. (Even though it is serious)

Whether we agree or oppose ... it doesn't matter cos nothing we do or say will change anything AND it's certainly not worth falling out over.

Family is more important than some silly time in history that will pass - and remember he has to get his silly ideas through Congress before they become law.

As I've always said, if you want a life filled with bitter angry arguments - get involved in politics. Or don't ... and be happy

But congress and HWSNBN are on the same side!

*wibble*

Isn't wibble one of my better quips?  

But 'his' side are as concerned as the other side

But his side might be a wee bit more lenient!

And as far as I am concerned 'Wibble' is from Blackadder!

Well he is gonna get some of his way sometimes.

Me and Blackadder - nice

Of course , but I also have a right not to have to have my FB page full up with angry , shouty,  political posts .....life's too short .....much easier to quietly , temporarily block and wait til people calm down  

 Rawks...it's difficult, the Election and Brexit have caused a divide between people ,all those who feel scared, betrayed and unrepresented need time to heal and adjust, but we mustn't let hatred divide us as well as ideology. Have time away from social media and enjoy the beauty of Canada, you sound like you are really enjoying it 

And THIS is why I rarely discuss politics with family...

Rawky, I don't know if you've heard yet, but we are all expecting to move in with you. 

oh well...at least donald has finally met theresa
