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 ladies! Hope those of you in the northeast are dealing ok with this storm.
As I was driving yesterday I was listening to CNN all the way down and then back, and I just kept thinking this is so unbelievably nuts! Do Republicans really not realize how crazy this all is, or do they just completely not care?!! You really couldn't make this stuff up. This morning as I read Anne's post from yesterday, I was thinking that's absolutely right. Only a short time ago if anyone had presented this as a movie script people would have said that is too far out and unbelievable to consider putting on the screen. Now, it's the constant breaking news of the day, and it's only going to get worse. The JA's statement yesterday about having his cabinet and "other things" almost the way he wants them now was ominous. The emphasis he seemed to place on "other things" when he said it makes you really shake your head and wonder what's to come next. Clearly if you don't always agree with and suck up to the JA your head is on the chopping block. He only wants to be surrounded by sycophants.
And, it looks like the Ds are going to take the PA seat! Yay!! Even if by some fluke it goes the other way now, this looks really bad for the Rs and for the JA. Both JA and JA, Jr had to go and campaign in an area which is normally a R stronghold, and they were soundly rejected. That gives me hope for the mid-terms, and I hope it has Rs shaking in their boots.
As for the student walk-out today, like Pat I am proud of them for standing up. That also gives me hope for the future. I just hope their enthusiasm and determination doesn't get crushed by the heavy fist of the NRA/GOP. Their activism should make the rest of us ashamed that somehow we have not banded together and forced Congress to do something long before now.

DS sent picture of DGD age 8 & her classmates during the school walkout today in St Paul, MN. DGS age 10 class walked out too. Just happy that these next generation kids are getting involved so, maybe , hopefully, this will bring back common sense to this country on many issues besides just gun control, etc.
So,Sessions firing MCCabe days before his pension & retirement benefits kick in, is really about as vintictive as one can get. I suppose Sessions is doing this to impress JA so his own azz doesn't get kicked to the curb! When does it end! UGH!
