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!

Good morning everyone!
Just checking in, but still haven't' seen any news other than the headline on CNN's website which sounds like the GOP is fracturing within itself over the Trump/Putin controversy. If you ask me, they should have been worrying about this months ago before things ever got this far along. Instead they were too afraid they might lose some votes if they didn't hang on to DT's coat tails. John McCain who is so outraged now didn't hesitate to fall in line when his own chances for re-election were up for grabs, so this bluster he's showing now does nothing to reassure me about his intentions. Too bad because there was a point when I kind of admired John McCain; but, when he made his own presidential run his true self came to the surface. Say anything/do anything for election. I appreciate his military service, and he deserves to be respected for that. For his political service, not so much.
Everything I do hear and read just continues to tell me that as a country we are in very serious trouble for the next four years. More trouble than we have ever encountered before. DT is unstable, apt to fire off an angry tweet or worse at the drop of a hat, and I believe in the presidency solely for his own ego and personal gain. Let's just hope the rest of us can survive. It really worries me about the world we will be leaving to our grandchildren.
Today I am going to get my Christmas grocery shopping done, so that will be a long list. I want to get everything today though, because they are predicting bad weather coming in for us. I know those of you in the northeast and Linda out in North Dakota are laughing at that. I don't blame you, but this southern girl just becomes a hermit when freezing rain or snow start being predicted.
Waving to you all. Will check back later . . .

HI...
No, Joyce, not laughing. I think when one lives in ND or other places where Winter hits hard, we are prepared because it happens so often. So, understandably southern states not used to it on a daily basis like other states. Plus, I think freezing rain & icey roads so much worse than snow packed ones. Hope you get everything accomplished today so you can snuggle in for the Holidays.
Think HEALTHY & Stay warm & safe 😊

I don't normally read Vanity Fair, but DT's recent blasting tweets about them make me want to run right out and buy a copy, or two, or three, or even more . . .

I so want to just put the world back on rewind and pretend the last 18 months never happened... Just tired and frustrated.

I agree Pat, it's just all very discouraging. Some of DT's supporters are already realizing they made a bad choice. Wonder how long it will take for the rest of them to realize what a con man he really is. All those things they thought he was going to do for them were just empty promises, while he and his rich friends just get richer and richer at everyone else's expense.

I honestly think many of DT supporters really don't care that they have put this great country at risk. They hate President Obama, & HRC more than their love of America & refused to even consider a more sensible GOP candidate because it was just easier to support a con man who constantly lied, bashed & degraded Obama & HRC. & America. Well, they got what they wanted, a morally corrupt man who they think has their interests in mind. They will be getting slapped with reality in January. He could care less about them or their needs. Even now, they can't really defend him, his policies or cabinet/staff picks, business interests, etc so they just continue to bash Libs, name call, & post ugly rhetoric that says more about them than what they are trying to say. I know there are some really decent & hardworking Conservatives who believe in their issues as much as Democrats do. I have total respect for them, it's the ones that just continue the false news reporting, the personal attacks, anything to keep stirring the pot with lies & ugly rhetoric that totally turn me off.
37% of Republican voters approve of Putin. Good Grief that says a lot !
Oh, & for those Vets that DT cares so much about, well, he has not invited any Vets to Trump Tower or picked someone to head up the VA. He has time for Kanye tho. Who by the way, didn't even vote. I'm sure DT & Kanye had a very intelligent conversation on America's best interests. 😉

" Wonder how long it will take for the rest of them to realize what a con man he really is."
I keep on asking myself how people can be that stupid. I'm okay with a little silly. You know like buying lottery tickets every week because hey, you never know. For me, spending a buck a week for a dream might be silly, but it's worth it. But to support and vote for a disgusting sexual pervert, who also is a lying, cheating, power hungry, woman hating, maniacal racist, con man, instead of a seasoned states/woman is more than silly. It's stupid on steroids!

I don't know the % but a lot of his followers truly believe/or need to believe he will make life better for them and can't see beyond that. Sorry to say they are all looking through the wrong end of the telescope. When he gets us into a war (and he will)it will be their sons and daughters and GS and GD who will be the boots on the ground. IF there is any ground left with Tweetie playing chicken with the launch codes. He is way too immature to be given that amount of power and responsibility..... the next leader of the free world always going "I'm better than you,na-na, na-na, boo-boo,stick your head in doo-doo... REALLY?  ?? Anyway not sure if Putin has a grudge against Hillary or just the fact that he saw that DT could be manipulated....Bigly Timely! |

Anne I suspect that Putin doesn't like Hillary and may even have a grudge against her, but my money would be bet on "he saw that DT could be manipulated." All that has to be done to manipulate him is massage his ego and/or report that someone said something against him. If Putin wanted us in a war with North Korea, all he'd have to do is tweet that Kim Jong-un said the sheets are rough and the food is bad at one of Trump's hotels. He'd launch a nuclear attack and then tweet to us all about it.

L O effin' L! Stop! Please. You're gonna make me pee and you know what happens when you can't stop laughing. Holy carp I really needed that, Anne. Thank you! If I don't laugh I'm afraid I might start to cry. If I do that I'm afraid I might not be able to stop that either. So, I'll just keep on laughing for now.
We have a fridge magnet with, "I am not infantile, you stinky butt poop head" on there. I can't remember which one of us gave it to the other. Or, can I? lol.

The uncertainty level sure is high - pick a subject looking forward - its all so murky.
We have to get our acts together and organize. Stay warm everyone.

Seriously you are right, if we don't laugh we will cry and if we cry it will be all over! Hey who were these weenie TECH guys, (flippen $$$$$$$) who would not challenge DT at their meeting with him. Don't upset the bully ?? |
