Politics and religion - everyone has an opinion on both and freedom to decide which to support or practice. Start a different thread if you want to discuss those topics, but let's leave the commentary on our recruits' beliefs or pursuits regarding either of the aforementioned away from the keyboard. The only result will be negative.

Well, I did wink (at least I tried to but the emoji didn't show) after posting KJ Costello's tweet re: his support for a certain presidential candidate. So my intended commentary was to not take it seriously.

But I get that even a lighthearted post can take this thread way off-topic, so I appreciate Prince's advice and will follow it in the future.

I have a niece who made a very similar post about Trump and I responded with "I think you forgot the winky emoticon.;-) ;-)"  The double winky let her know that I was just joking but we decided to keep our political discussions limited to times when we were actually together so that we wouldn't get into any flame wars.  We'll yell at each other during family gatherings just like our ancestors did.  ;-)

Cheers,
Pete F.
