Welcome to the Open Thread! Wow, December is almost gone. We’ve decorated our homes, wrapped gifts for friends and family, partied with our buddies, and lent our hand to charitable efforts. We spent Christmas with loved ones and now, we’re headed for the “down week”, the week where nothing gets done. It’s a great time to make phone calls to those who were important to you in the past year, clean out a closet, plan a garden for spring, or get a headstart on taxes…. but it’s still too early to take down the tree.

Get the menial chores out of the way and clear the deck for 2020, because we will be busy in an ELECTION YEAR!

Don’t you wish the election was tomorrow? We know we’re voting for President Trump. We could save the USA economy BILLIONS! Just schedule the election, RIGHT NOW!

Please feel free to comment. We have a new policy, starting 20191110. Keep it SOMEWHAT civil. Our rules began with the civility of the Old Treehouse, later to become the Wolverinian Empire, except of course that Q discussion is not only allowed but encouraged, and speech is considerably freer in other ways. Please feel free to argue and disagree with the board owner, as nicely as possible.

Please also consider the Important Guidelines, outlined here in the January 1st open thread. Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven. We have a new board – actually a new SITE – called The U Tree – where people can take each other to the woodshed without fear of censorship or moderation. NOT HERE. This board will remain a REFUGE for those who need civility, either some or all of the time.

Also remember Wheatie’s Rules:

1. No food fights.
2. No running with scissors.
3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

Don’t forget, it’s our job to DRAIN THE SWAMP, and that means LOCALLY, too. Make a commitment THIS YEAR to attend a local council or school board meeting. At least let them know we are watching!

Our movement is about replacing a failed and CORRUPT political establishment with a new government controlled by you, the American People. Candidate Donald J. Trump

Time to shop for the Baked Ham and Black-Eyed Peas for New Year’s, it’s supposed to be good luck for the new year.

If you live in a red state, we’re all headed to the Fireworks store this week.

Cuz, ya’ can’t do New Year’s without a few fireworks, right? And we have so much to celebrate this year. Might have to buy a few extra…..

For those of you dealing with snow and miserable weather, we empathize. Take a look at the snowstorms which hit Iceland recently, and dumped 30 FEET of snow.

But that’s okay, hang on, because SPRING is around the corner!

Let’s not forget to be thankful for an incredible 2019. The USA is doing well.

Happy New Year, QTreepers!
