We are a group of like-minded people that gather to discuss a host of topics from weight loss, to current events. Our thread celebrates liberal diversity, welcomes new friends, and respects all opinions. We count everything from calories to points but, we never count our chickens before they are hatched.

Not much happening here in my corner of the world. Lots of smoke & ash from Montana fires drifting into SW ND. The western US needs rain so bad. Mother Nature must truly be upset this year. Hurricanes, fires & eartquakes.

♥ Bernie ♥
Sending prayers to everyone in the hurricane zones. Such a catastrophic time for our nation. If only we would quit it with the middle eastern wars already and spend that money on repairing our own nation and helping all our troops who have been injured and the families of those who did not come home.
I will never stop blaming Dubya for the whole mess.

We worried about our relatives on the East Coast of Fla then friends on the West Coast. We have cousins that go down for the winter but the worst that could have happened for them was that their,condo took a hit. Anything you can throw money at and fix is not a problem. IMHO I agree Linda, Momma Nature is upset....BIG TIME! It's the Anniversary of 9/11, wondering if Trump is wearing his white Tiger lined Robe and brandishing the sword the Saudi's gave him.

Remember when: The day of the attacks, Trump claimed that the destruction of the World Trade Center meant one of his buildings was now the tallest in lower Manhattan.
"WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump on Monday commemorated the 16th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, leading a moment of silence at the White House to mark the moment the first plane struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York.
The president and first lady Melania Trump stood on the White House’s South Lawn amid a crowd that included Trump’s elder daughter, Ivanka, and his son-in-law Jared Kushner.
Trump spoke at a memorial ceremony at the Pentagon later Monday morning, honoring the nearly 3,000 victims of the attacks and their families.
“Today, our entire nation grieves with you,” he said, reflecting on “the horror and anguish of that dark day” and praising the country’s perseverance and unity following the attacks.
His measured remarks on Monday notwithstanding, Trump has a history of making insensitive and false comments about the Sept. 11 tragedy.
The 2001 terrorist attacks were the subject of one of Trump’s most egregious lies during his presidential campaign. In November 2015, he claimed, without evidence, that “thousands and thousands” of Muslims in New Jersey had celebrated the news of the attacks.
“I watched when the World Trade Center came tumbling down. And I watched in Jersey City, New Jersey, where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was coming down,” Trump said at a campaign rally. “Thousands of people were cheering.”
The following day, Trump reiterated his lie, claiming that the supposed celebration “was well covered at the time.”
“There were people that were cheering on the other side of New Jersey, where you have large Arab populations. They were cheering as the World Trade Center came down,” Trump said on ABC’s “This Week.”
The lie, which has been roundly debunked, appeared to originate from an article published a few days after the attacks, reporting that law enforcement officials had investigated “a number of people who were allegedly seen celebrating the attacks and holding tailgate-style parties on rooftops while they watched the devastation on the other side of the river.”
But Trump, as he frequently does, exaggerated the allegation in the story ― an allegation that was never substantiated.
Following the rally in which he first peddled the lie, Trump mocked one of the journalists who wrote the original story, veteran New York Times reporter Serge Kovaleski, after Kovaleski himself affirmed that the story did not back up Trump’s lie.
“I certainly do not remember anyone saying that thousands or even hundreds of people were celebrating,” Kovaleski said.
In response, Trump performed a disgusting imitation of Kovaleski, who has arthrogryposis, a congenital joint condition."
Still shaking my head, did this guy ever get elected?
