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! Linda in ND and all of you in the northeast come on down and join me today. Our predicted temp is 75 degrees! Very unusual. Even though we usually have mild winters, they're not that mild but I'll take it! So General Mattis is speaking up and disagreeing with Tweety on two issues--Iraq's oil and the enemy press. Watch out Mad Dog, you may be in full retirement sooner than you expected, or maybe that's what he is hoping for.

Andy Borowitz.... Trump's superpowers enable him to see invisible terrorists in Sweden but not 500,000 marchers in Washington.
President Obama & Family Travel Expense Cost to Taxpayers....1 YEAR...$12.2 Million President Trump & Family Travel Expense Cost to Taxpayers...1 MONTH...$11.3 Million
Joyce, if I wasn't going to the Girls Regional Basketball Tourney this afternoon, I would be sitting on your front steps soaking in the Sunshine with a cup of tea.

I'm finding the following to be true, too...May be adding Lindsey Graham's name to this too. Rather disappointing IMHO..... The Rachel Maddow Show 16 mins · Before the media gushing gets too out of hand, it's worth appreciating the disconnect between John McCain's rhetoric and his actions. The Republican senator's boldness ends when the Senate voting begins: he's a Maverick in Name Only. on.msnbc.com/2lyXovx

Oohhhhhh, Pence getting some pretty tough questions about differences between Tweety's comments/Tweets & his comments at NATO Conference. .....Hmmm, not really answering the questions...How long will it be before Pence gets tired of cleaning up Tweety's words. ?!?!....

Andy Borowitz....... "I can't believe what happened last night in Sweden." -- Donald Trump "Nothing happened last night in Sweden." -- The Swedes "Where is Sweden?" -- Betsy DeVos bit.ly/2lD3SKE

I agree about McCain's actions not matching his words. He talks tough, but so far he hasn't shown us that he's willing to step out there and vote against anything. It's the same with Lindsey Graham. I like hearing the words, and hope that some Republicans are listening to them, but the words are worthless if they're not followed up with actions. If it is too far for all of you to come enjoy my temps, I'll box up some warm weather and send it to each of you. Be watching for it. Once UPS leaves the box at your door, I'm not sure how long it can survive. Just talked with DD. They were loading up bikes to go ride in a state park.

LOL LOL LOL...Anne, I just noticed your profile picture....too funny!
I'm so tired of the Fake News comments by our Fake President. Just listening to the NATO press conference you can really see how all the countries are very concerned about our Fake President.
We have blue skies & sunshine today too. I think we may hit the upper 50's today. Spring definetely in the air, but I know a snowstorm or two could still find its way to ND...the streets are clear of snow & ice & the kids are out riding bikes & stopping at my library again. It was pretty quiet all winter, so hoping the kids start using it again now that it's getting warmer. I ordered some fairy garden items for March & April for library decorations.
My scale was screaming at me the other day, so started using the calorie counting app Pam told me about last year. Will be giving it a good try AGAIN... This winter, the trump stress & worry, made for some ugly scale numbers. Decided I better get HEALTHY to be around to watch Tweety go down in disgrace with Impeachment. ;-);-)...I can only hope!..Anyway, I also need to MOP (move on purpose) ...hoping the walking track around the baseball field is clear of snow & ice. I also need the fresh air to clear out the cobwebs in my head...LOL...Anyway, ....I'm hoping I'm back on the sensible eating wagon, I made 6 different cookie recipes yesterday & did not eat one!...That's huge for me...LOL..Grandson ordered cookies since his wrestling season is over & he can eat junk again, so will be taking the cookies to Basketball game today to give him...
Ok, rambling over. Think HEALTHY

Andy Borowitz.....· The most likely scenario for Trump's early departure from office is neither impeachment nor the 25th Amendment. It's an abrupt resignation after journalists uncover crimes that Trump has committed. So if I were Trump, I would be laying the groundwork now to discredit and delegitimize the media. Oh wait.

Nature Lover, I did see that. It hurt. I watched it with my spouse and I asked her if she ever thought America would be nothing more than a joke around the world. After she reminded me I ask her that question about a dozen times a day, she said her answer is still the same and I know what it is. Well, excuse me!
I wish there was a way I could tell the people of Italy not all of us voted for that monster. At least half of us are heartsick that such a joke, such an unqualified, dangerous ego maniac is anywhere near the White House.
I can feel the greatness of America, can't you? America is now the Greatest Joke On Earth!
I also wanted to share something with you that Carl Sagan said. I thought about this after I read your post about the rants and raves the 80 year old far right good Christian woman keeps posting on your FB page. Carl Sagan said, "You can't convince a believer of anything; for their belief is not based on evidence, it's based on a deep-seated need to believe."
Anne, I love your new avatar. Linda, thank you for posting the Andy Borowitz goodies. I look forward to seeing them now. Joyce, enjoy the sunshine and warm temps.

NatureLover, I had not seen that. You're right it is very sad.
Pat/Birdgal, love the Carl Sagan quote. It is spot on target.
