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.

Good morning everyone from what is about to become soggy TN! Rain is headed our way and will be here for the next few days. Oh well, the sunshine was nice while it lasted.
I felt so badly for those poor FL students yesterday. I can't say I was surprised, because we all know the NRA's tentacles run deep, but those students must have been devastated and shocked because they were brought face-to-face with the fact that in truth those legislators just don't care as long as it's not affecting them personally. They're far more interested in keeping NRA money. When you compare $$s against student lives, the $$ wins with them every time. So much hypocrisy, you need hip boots on just to read the news anymore.

I still hope these teens dig in & just keep up their resolve to change things. But, yes, I felt bad they had to get that reality slap about our paid off lawmakers of the NRA. For those publicly accusing these kids of lying, being paid off by the Dem's, etc, calling them " crisis actors" ! Good Grief, how pathetic! I hope there is a special place in Hell for going after victims. The townhall tonight on CNN with the students & a few lawmakers will certainly be interesting. I am particularly interested in how Rubio handles this. I think the students are ready to call him on his BS.
The WH Press Conference & SHS are such a sham & waste of time. I wish the reporters would just take a stand & either not show up or call it what it is, a lying session!
Oh, jeez, now, JA wants an investigation into the Obama administration for the Russian meddling he refuses to acknowledge happened! UGH!
Thanks for all the cyber support for DGD & BB. I know I'm over the top with Grandma bragging & this forum probably isn't the place, but it's the only thing that seems sane in this crazy political world we now live in. I looked at the girls on the court last night & just hoped to god this JA in the WH hasn't ruined this country for good! Anyway, thanks again.

Grandparents are allowed to brag big-time and she's so special

Linda, there is absolutely no such thing as being "over the top with Grandma bragging," and this forum is most certainly the place because we are all good friends, and we are genuinely interested. I'm excited and happy for your DGD, and happy for you because I know how proud you must be and should be of her. So please continue to keep us posted, and share those moments with us. In this chaotic, scary, depressing world it helps to see there is still normalcy out there.

Pam, that's an excellent article! Thanks so much for sharing it. IF those banking corporations would follow through, it could make a huge difference. I had never thought of that, but it sounds like a plan with real potential if only those executives can be shamed into it. That article gives me a little hope, and just putting it into the discussion (or lack thereof on the Rs part) is a step in the right direction. If even one of those card companies would do this, I would certainly make that my card of choice. I bet there are a lot of other people who would as well.

Pam, thanks for sharing the above article. Gosh, I so wish it could help & I hope there are a few brave banks etc that will at least open the discussion & even give it a trial try. I am beginning to believe the NRA is the biggest terrorist organization out there with way too much power. Time to hit them right in their greedy huge pocketbook.

The Florida legislation decided that porn is more harmful to students than guns are. Disgusting and appalling.
