Yesterday at the dump…yes, we are our own garbage men… I was behind a pickup that was laden with garbage bags in the bed. He was alone so I decided to help him pitch the bags into the compressor bin.

Small talking, he mentioned that he bought along a few neighbors garbage too. Lots of Trump/Vance signs, a few old tattered trump flags. He said “Good Riddance” along with some unprintable expressions of disgust as he threw each one into the bin.
I kept my head down slinging bags into the bin. Truck was empty we shook hands as he thanked me, then helped with my load of three bags.

Yeah, he’s not all that popular anymore.

But a word of caution…this happened before around here…and he got elected again.
