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've hatched!

Group HUG... I probably won't be posting today or tomorrow. (not giving the Trolls the satisfaction) If you want to chat I'm available in messages.  |

Good morning everyone!
Today is the BIG DAY here for us. Finally moving my mom from rehab to assisted living with my dad. Hoping it will go as smoothly as possible. Yesterday when I visited with her she was very nervous about the adjustment.
So I'm not going to allow myself to think about politics today--too many other things on my plate.
Just wanted to stop by and wave hello. Have a lovely day everyone!

I just have a quick funny. I don't know who it was, maybe it was an Alec Baldwin satire (I missed the beginning), but the radio station I usually listen to had a "phone in" from "Trump," the voice was uncanny! Declaring the Rockettes will be dancing tonight, and depending on cup size, some will be topless; there will be elephant rides down Pennsylvania Avenue, and he doesn't care about the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, they're overrated and "they're my least favorite tabernacle choir," and other choice sentences. OMG I was almost peeing with laughter! Wish I could find the clip, it is hilarious.

Nature Lover, that's so funny! Thanks for the laugh. I needed that. PBNJ, Your black rose says it all.  I won't be watching any TV tomorrow. I applaud every citizen whether they be entertainers (like the oaf is), politicians, or regular Jane's or Joe's that won't pretend this is a normal, reasonable, or sane moment in our history. As an American citizen, a Woman, a Feminist, and a Gay person, the oaf's agenda is extremely dangerous and very personal. It's a fraud. John Lewis is correct. I despise racist and anybody who mocks the disabled. Not too fond of sexual predators or those who promise to pay workers for a days work and then stiffs them. I detest immature and thin skinned cowards who insult grieving parents. This oaf will be Commander In Chief? It's absurd! I applaud actors and politicians that speak their mind. I won't support anyone who mocks Veterans or a civil rights activist that was almost beaten to death at a peaceful protest. I detest traitors and cheaters that want to steal my social security which I've paid into since I was 17. It was a deal, a promise. I had to keep my end of the bargain and now it's considered a hand out? I think not. I wouldn't tune in to see a crazy person take an oath to collect my garbage because it would creep me out having him so close to my home, property, and pets. Why would I want to see such a demented and disrespectful waste of human flesh be sworn in as president? I'd love to see Hillary and Michelle Obama skip this farce too. Let the boys dutifully sit there. It would send a strong message to intelligent women everywhere. Oh, I know the other side would jump on both these women with all sorts of insults and lies. But, honestly is there anything even left for the deplorable's to say about either one of them that they, and we, haven't already heard? I have no respect for the oaf. He doesn't have any respect for me. I have no problem dissing this TV special because he doesn't belong there and I will not pump up his ratings. I refuse to watch because I DO respect the office and can't bear to see it desecrated. (((((GROUP))))) DEB, I love your avatar! That is so me. What's with that anyway? |

One more day. I still cannot believe this is happening. Tomorrow, our TVs in the house shall remain shut down. Perhaps a day of meditation would be in order. Black attire will certainly be in order. Wishing you all peace, harmony, and health.
We shall overcome
We shall overcome
We shall overcome, some day
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe
We shall overcome, some day
We'll walk hand in hand
We'll walk hand in hand
We'll walk hand in hand, some day
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe
We shall overcome, some day
We shall live in peace
We shall live in peace
We shall live in peace, some day
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe
We shall overcome, some day
We are not afraid
We are not afraid
We are not afraid, today
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe
We shall overcome, some day
The whole wide world around
The whole wide world around
The whole wide world around, someday
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe
We shall overcome, some day

Sounds like a good one....sad but good.
Anyway.....Gawd.......When W. was elected we had a clown, when Nixon was elected we had a crook, now, how very very efficient that we will have both rolled into one.
I will watch tomorrow:
When Dumfy is being sworn in I will join with my fellow Americans and raise my right hand to take an oath, to preserve, protect and defend the constitutionā

Thank you, Anne. We're planning on seeing the movie "Hidden Figures" tomorrow. Maybe getting a bite to eat after but concerned that any place we pick will have a TV or 12 blasting that hideous scene into every nook and cranny of the dining area. I've never been a fan of loud TV's every place you go. That includes my doctor's office and the ER! Why do we need to have noise 24/7? I swear I can't think with all that noise all the time. Hmm. Maybe that's the idea. Don't think. Just obey. I'm so excited! I finally found something me and the orange-oaf agree on! Friends send me these things from FB so I apologize if any of you have already seen it... www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/01/trump-biographers-presidency-legitimate-214655 |

Excellent article. Sadly it hit the nail right on the head. Who the heck is his PR person to have let the "Trump writing his speech photo" out to the public. Someone who voted for Hillary?

That's scary, Anne.
The man terrifies me. And yet there are still people that are undaunted by his state of mind. How can that be?

IDK....Either they don't see it, don't want to see it or they don't think he will go that far with his narcissus personality. The guy will push the envelope as far as he can till he ends up impeached or in jail or both.
People tend to cherry pick what they choose to believe.
Just pray for the country and the free world. Clownboy should stick to what he knows...reality T.V. shows and beauty contests where he wins the crown.
