PROGRESSIVE DISCUSSION - THURSDAY 3/1

Interesting day in the news yesterday with a lot going on, and much to think about. What do you think? Will the JA stand-up and be counted against the NRA on guns or will he fold? It's hard to know. He's completely reversed himself about so many things so many times. I hope this time he will hold the line, but I'm afraid to count on it. It all comes down to where he sees the most benefit for himself. The sentiment across the country is in our favor, but his core base is not. He needs moderate voters to get re-elected, and he knows that. Still, if he makes his base too angry that wouldn't work for him either. So will he or won't he stand up for what is right this time?

The whole Hope Hicks thing is really interesting. There has to be a lot behind the decision to resign the day after her testimony. No way was that just a coincidence as SHS would like us to believe. I heard last night that the JA was furious that Hope admitted to telling "white lies." Still, from what the reports say he really depended on her and her loss will be keenly felt. Who knows? I heard a commentator say last night that KAC might step in to feel the HH void. Now that's a disaster in the making!

The whole Jared thing and the Jared and Ivanka vs Kelly thing is heating up and interesting. And I have real hope that Mueller is getting down to the hard facts. Let the chips fall where they may, but I just want the truth to come out and hope it will be sooner rather than later.

Yep! Jeb was sure right about that. Who would have ever thought the day would come when we would miss the Bushes? LOL!

And Ben Carson had no idea he had asked the taxpayers to buy a $31,000 dining room set. Right! There goes another one of those little "white lies." Really BC, these "I didn't know . . ." tales are getting old. So his wife who evidently was doing the shopping per his newest statements never asked price? Guess not. The entire cabinet seems to think they have carte blanche for a free ride while the rest of us pick up the tab. Maybe Mrs. Carson went shopping for the dining room set with Mrs. Mnuchin. Sounds like they might have similar taste.
