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.

What chaos will this week bring? The one thing you can count on with the JA is that there will be tumultuous chaos every week, and that none of it will be good.
While I'm thinking of it, wanted to let you know that I'll be MIA tomorrow. Going back to my hometown for my aunt's funeral. At 95 she was my last living aunt (my father's brother's wife), and I have no uncles left on either side, so the end of an era. I will see some cousins that I don't see often. Will just be gone for the day.

Speaking of the SC pick as in the cartoon above, the JA and his minions keep touting this as a major accomplishment. How was this an accomplishment? The R led Congress would not even consider a pick from Obama, the seat needed to be filled, once there was a pretend R in the WH they were going to confirm anyone he put up for the seat. If he had a dog, he could have gotten him confirmed as long as the dog was a pretend R too.

It's always sad when the last of aunts & uncles pass & an era ends. I have 1 aunt & DH has 1 uncle, still alive. It's kind of sobering to think that we are now the oldest generation. Where did time go! Enjoy your visit with extended family, Joyce. Always nice to share the memories.
So, JA reverses himself on gun control issues...who's afraid of the NRA, now!!!!
Betsy DeVos ....what a damn train wreck. She is to head a commission on school safety...good god! She couldn't explain or answer basic questions about why her own state of Michigan were performing so badly! WH is dismayed by her performance!...LOL. YA THINK!
I just want to wake up from this nightmare!

The really strange part of the Betsy DeVos debacle is that even the WH would be dismayed by her inability to answer even basic questions. Really, did they think there was some magic that when she sat down into the Secretary of Education's chair would magically transform her into an intelligent person with the capability of handling the position? Clearly she was never qualified. Even with a Republican Congress she couldn't get confirmed without Pence having to come in and break the tie. In the time she's been in office, not once has she demonstrated anything other than utter incompetence. So if the WH was surprised by her ineptness they're just about the only people in the country who were.
What's really going to be interesting is if the Democrat wins in PA tomorrow. The very fact that the JA and JA, Jr are having to campaign for Sacone (or however you spell his name) says a lot. It's really going to be funny if he loses, and it's going to say a LOT.

Joyce- Condolences on the passing of your Aunt, I'm sorry. We lost our last Uncle a few years ago.....it is a strange feeling to realize we are now the older generation. We watched Betsy DeVos on 60 min this morning, she went to a private Christian School and was brought up in a very wealthy bubble, and has not a clue as to what she is doing. If she keeps going the way she is, the quality of education in Public schools will go down the sewer. Really?  / Could not answer questions on the quality of education in her State? Michigan should be the Gold Standard!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't realize her brother was Erik Prince the founder of Blackwater. |

I'm sorry about your Aunt, Joyce. She had a long life. I hope it was happy. In the time she's been in office, not once has she demonstrated anything other than utter incompetence. "Utter incompetence" is required for all those that occupy a place in this farce. I was going to say administration but I can't. I tried. I really did. Sorry. Nope. No can do. |

If she keeps going the way she is, the quality of education in Public schools will go down the sewer. Anne, Paranoid Patty is wondering if that might be exactly what this farce would like. A dumbed down society. Look who's in the WH? Heck, we're half way there! |

So according to the talking drums Larry Kudlow is in line to replace Gary Cohn.......this should be interesting to see who's ego wins. Mr UnPresident or Mr Larry.
One of them has creds, intelligence and arrogance ......guess?
This is going to be fun to watch.

Wow, I did not realize DeVos brother was Erik Prince either. The S!!!t just gets deeper & deeper. Isn't he part of the Meuller Investigation now, too. Way too scary where all this is leading!

I wish we had a "Don't like" button. Meaning I really did like what you posted but now it will probably keep me up at night. How about this one? Would this work? lol. As Hitler knew, a dumbed down society is easier to control. So why not? |

Pammie- If this were written as a Novel back in the 70's 80's it would have been considered too far out to be made into a movie.
