This is a conservative thread to allow those with conservative views to express themselves. We welcome Republicans, Tea Party folks, and those who believe in the Constitution as written, not as interpreted by liberal judges. If you have liberal views we invite you to participate in a civil and respectful conversation. We would respectfully request that if you cannot post in a respectful and civil manner to refrain from doing so until you can. Good discussions are great - insulting arguments are not. We welcome discussions about our weight loss journey.

Just thought I would get us going for this week.
I looked back at your previous posts on last weeks thread.
Lin, you are so right Americans are so fed up with all the nasty remarks and the fighting and getting nothing accomplished. The Liberals need to realize that is one of the reason that the country voted the way they did... because they were so angry and want a change back to civility. But even with the inauguration they are playing politics as usual and some of the entertainers have broken their contracts to perform. Contracts that were signed 2 years ago before we knew who would be President. But who cares there are other performers glad to have the opportunity to be seen and heard and make a name for themselves.
Gary, you know rats are always hard to get rid of.
Cat, If you want a good day don't read the other thread. they have nothing good to say about anything or anybody.
Have a wonder full evening.

Thanks for the start Meg. I actually burst out laughing when I looked at the other place. There is a reason why Dems no longer have control of the house, senate and most states....oh, and the White House. I see where the Orlando terrorist wife was arrested in San Francisco....finally. Anyone ever REALLY believe she knew nothing? Give me a break. and remember how the media was trying to push the story that he was mentally ill or a closet homosexual, as if they were trying to excuse his behavior or tried to blame it on him being a homophobe? Call it what it is. It won't be long now. Can't wait! Lin

Good Evening All,
I am so excited!!! I can't wait until Friday!!! Lin I think your attitude is catching - love it!!
Cat, I agree with Meg - don't even look at the other thread - it will depress you. There is no joy in mudville - just mud slinging.
Gary, Be careful.
Have a wonderful week
Peggy

There is a growing list of Democrats who refuse to attend Trump's inauguration. I think they are giving notice that they will not be in office for another term. I also think those who refuse to perform at Trump's inauguration are announcing their retirement from the entertainment industry once they start losing lots of money because people won't want to see them.

I saw Bob Beckel was back on The Five today after a 2 year absence. Not sure why he disappeared; probably health reasons. He's lost about 30 pounds. He's a crazy liberal but it's also funny to watch him make a fool of himself.

I may be wrong about what I posted above about the liberals who refuse to attend Trump's inauguration. They are in "safe" districts of like minded liberals who will put them back in office no matter how crazy their views are.

I think that people in the entertainment industry would do well to shut their mouths about politics because a lot of their fans may not agree with them politically. Those entertainers who signed a contract to perform at this years inauguration and are now dropping out breaking their contract should be sued. The B Street group signed a contract 2 or 3 years ago to play at this inauguration that was before they knew who would be the next President. I am sure there are new entertainers who would be glad to take their place just to be seen and heard.
My DGD has been invited to a party to celebrate the inauguration on Friday. I said a long time ago if Trump won we should have a big party and it looks like people are going to do it. I am afraid my party days are over but the younger folk should get out and celebrate.

About 3 days, give or take!! Peg, good to see you! hoot hoot, party time. Meg, I would love to be at the real thing or any of the parties in DC. It could be doable, but I'm not a big fan of fighting crowds and catching a train and all that. I'm sure it will be madness. I'm sure there are some things going on in my own area, but just haven't had the time to look. Just watching TV coverage of the moving van moving the Obama's belongings will be good enough for me. Gary....I can't stand Beckel, but you are right, it is funny to watch. The Five is a good group....that, too, is on at a bad time for me. I have to see about reconnecting the TV in the kitchen....we changed providers and cut back a bit, but I miss the kitchen TV. We never turned it on during meal time, but prep and clean up time....it kept me company. I read that Beckel had 3 back surgeries. DH had also heard he had some issues and needed rehab, I don't know if that's true or not. Although I have known some that became dependent on pain meds after major surgeries. I think I prefer him over Juan. I'm not happy with the Tucker Carlson move to 9 pm either. I don't have recording capabilities, but have been able to watch the next day on the Fox website. His interview with someone who wants to be the DNC chair was pretty funny......she never really answered his questions. Catter, hope you are staying warm and cozy. Hi Choney, Hi Geric. Hhmm, and it seems John Lewis wasn't quite telling the truth when he announced "it is the first swearing in I've not attended." Seems he just doesn't like republicans, because he also boycotted George W. Bush's inauguration and gave the same exact reason. His office now claims "he forgot" he boycotted. Yeah, right. From the Washington Post, January 21, 2001: "Some members of the Black Caucus decided to boycott Inauguration Day; John Lewis, for instance, spent the day in his Atlanta district. He thought it would be hypocritical to attend Bush’s swearing-in because he doesn’t believe Bush is the true elected president. " Sound familiar? Man, they all must be madder than bees in a behive that got kicked from it's tree branch. They all though it was "in the bag". They still don't believe it. Trying to remember all of the blame game things that were said: electoral college should be abolished, and their failed attempt at harassing the electors to change their votes...what a waste of time and energy; the Jill Stein recount, mostly likely where lots of the funding came from shadow Soros organizations....another failure; Russians hacked the voting machines....nope; wikileaks publishing of Podesta's email account....nope, actually it just proved what conservatives have been saying for years, but we always get shouted down by liberals and the main stream media, or the main stream media almost always goes with the fluff stuff for Dems and rarely asks the tough questions...kind of disgusting the way the media fawned over the Obamas and outwardly loathe the Trumps; and my favorite, it was because the Enquirer put negative stories about Hillary on the front page and everyone waiting to check out at the grocery store would read them....so if that's the case, how did Trump win with all the negative headlines and stories in the Times, Daily News, CNN, MSNBC, etc. etc. Someone mentioned this the other day: The Democratic Party suffered huge losses at every level during Obama’s West Wing tenure. The grand total: a net loss of 1,042 state and federal Democratic posts, including congressional and state legislative seats, governorships and the presidency. Explain that one! Voter fraud? Hacking? Russians? I don't think so..... Sorry so long. Lin

I didn't care much for Obama, but he was elected president and I really hoped he would be very good at it. Sadly, he was divisive and seemed to be more interested in golf and Hollywood celebrities than running the country for the benefit of all the citizens. As the mother of a law enforcement officer I am really irate about how he has contributed to the attacks on police and blaming the police for incidents that are really not their fault.

I don't worry much about when various shows are on Fox News. I watch when I am home and don't miss much because the highlights are repeated the next day. I have to work the afternoon on inauguration day but will see the swearing in since it will be at 10:00 my time. I think we will all be jumping for joy and the liberals will be wallowing in self-pity. Can't wait!!

This post is from Martha she posted it today on last weeks thread so I am pasting it here.
As I just posted on FB where, by the way, I am trying to keep my political posts down a bit, but every now and then I just cannot help myself, but I find it unbelievable that Obama just pardoned that jerk that leaked classified military documents to WikiLeaks and got a 35 year sentence. She/he/it has been in jail for 6 years. She/it is the one who got a sex change paid for by our tax dollars. I mean I do not give a hoot if she/it wants a sex change, I do give a hoot on how she paid for it. Should not have happened but now days anything and everything is okay. Oh yes, Her/its new name is Chelsea Manning.

I thought if Trump can undo Obama's executive orders he can uncommute and/or unpardon Obama's commutes and pardons. Apparently not so. What a shame.

Martha, I wonder what other mischief Obama can get up to before Friday?
Linda, it would be fun to be in Washington for the celebration but I am just too old to stand in the cold. So I will be content watching the fun on TV. I am sure they have Bob Beckel and Juan Williams on Fox to let us see what idiots the liberals are. Did you know that Juan's son is a Republican. They had father and son on TV one time. I think it was on Hannity. DS just walked through the kitchen and he was watching TV and he is really steamed about all the prisoners that Obama is releasing.... he has released hundreds while in office By Friday he could empty all the prisons and then where will we be.

Opps. I posted on the thread for last week. Thanks for reposting for me Meg. I guess Obama did not actually pardon Manning, just commuted his/her/its sentence. I do not know if the next president can undo that or not. I know he cannot undo a pardon, but a commute of a sentence??? I doubt it though. I figure that about 30 seconds before he is offially out of office, he will announce the pardon of Bergdahl Who knows.
