For the sake of sanity, I posted this on Facebook: Left, centrist, right, libertarian: I’m sick of it all! As of today, I will “hide” all posts that show up on my timeline that have to do with the politics of the day. I will follow issues, of course, just not on Fakebook. Here it goes: All kitties and cute animals all the time! (I probably won’t respond to comments posted on this site, either. We’ll see.)
“Fakebook” was a typo. Or was it? Regardless, Facebook is the worst source of light in these dark times, and nothing comes of trying to correct the record. Unfortunately, “It is impossible to defeat an ignorant man in argument.” [William G. McAdoo (1863 – 1941)]
All kitties and cute animals all the time!
Totally agree…. politics and religion!
I’ve enjoyed the lack of rancor on my timeline on Facebook. I suppose i can ignore the politics on this site, too, though I find there is more intelligent discussion here than there.
Yeah, add religion to mine, too!
At least our cats provide us with comfort in hard times.
For sure!
I could not have expressed it any better.
My Facebook feed is much nicer today. I guess hiding all the political posts let the site calculate that I didn’t want that crap on my feed now.
Oh well —
My Facebook feed is nearly cleared of crap from all shades of the political spectrum. It will save me lots of mind rot. I’ll stick with legitimate journalistic sources of information, not these unverified rumor sites typical of the Internet.
Ok, we want to hear about the kitties anyway. I just get upset when I see what’s happening in the States with your political system. A medicine face says it all.

Jean, what I see is tragic. I will have to pinch my nose and close my eyes to vote this year.
I am all for cute kitties 🙂
My initial experience on post-political Facebook is I do, too! Best yet, I’m not wasting my time trying to correct ignorance or pointing out where memes offer simplistic solutions to complex issues.
Unfortunately it is hard to beat stupidity on any level. Too stupid to know you’re stupid. Sanity is more important than winning a stupid point…and personally I’d justz lovez me some morz pictures of the Boyz! ~~dru~~
ps if it was mez you waz takinz aboutz…well I’m frequently to stupidz to recognize meselfz, Doug. purrrrrrrzzzzz
I like the new look of my feed on Facebook! As for WordPress Reader, I will just skip over the political ones. In past, I might have clicked on “like” or commented on those I felt were in error or needed some historical context, but I now will leave that to the people who still think they can change minds. LOL!
Aaaaaaw You are a cutey. We don”t do pawlitics stuff, dat’s fur mommy to worry ’bout. And yeppers, facebook ain’t news. MOL
Luv ya’

That is for sure. It is a place for ignorance feeding ignorance and for people of one point of view becoming intolerant of any other point of view.
that might be my next

Understandable!
“do well and let say ” . A great motto , no? 🙂
I like Angy ‘s face : one eye open and the other close . A dreadful ” predator ” !! 🙂

Andy is a sweet little kitty, but he definitely got an amazing look on his face that time!
Politics, no thank you any more. I have finished to read news at all. If the World War 3 begins, I will know it without news. Here in Finland now it is EU,Nato, Russia,Eu, Nato, Russia…
As the target for all nasty people, writing to another target for all nasty people, I grew up being told by my government that I could survive nuclear war if I ducked under my school desk and put my arms around my head. This is the little cartoon that was used to “reassure” children.

Yes just yes!
This has been an idea others support strongly.
I feel the same way, completely. Not just Facebook, anywhere.That expression sums it up. Was it Andy or Dougy I couldn’t tell.
Andy – that’s an old one of him showing his medicine face. My camera’s on charge, so a new one’s not possible at the moment!
Medicine face about right for political claptrap.
Yeah! It is sad that outright liars get so much cred8ibility with the voters. Or, perhaps, I am not the only one concerned that in a country with 320,000,000 people, the political process brings up what it does to run the store.
Now you have to ban yourself – for talking politics 😉
This is true! And I will try very hard to honor that pledge because my politics are just as irritating to some as theirs are to me. If we can’t play well together, then we should be banned from the playground.
