The doctored hurricane map to include Alabama with a sharpie, while the Bahamas lay in ruin, just makes me sick.
It's getting harder and harder to process the enormity of the pile of sh!t made by this would-be king. The IG report on the ramifications of child separations at the border is truly heartbreaking. And, there's zero chance the craven GOP will push back on the money grab of taxpayer dollars earmarked for other projects to fund his #*$@^>& wall. The list just goes on and on with the imoluments, abuse of power, and convulsive tweets. And that's just this week! Even Mike Pence couldn't behave *sigh*

Amy- Thanks for starting the thread up. I am going to try to keep this up at the top of the page. The headline of the shooting keeps stopping my heart. Just so sad. Pammie- there is no bottom to this cesspool that this INDIVIDUAL #1/unindicted co-conspirator has created in the White House and in the government. ~~~~~Has anyone caught the interviews with Jim Mattis? His new book is "CALL SIGN CHAOS." We have ordered his book. www.cbsnews.com/news/gen-jim-mattis-on-war-and-trump/www.msnbc.com/morning-joe---Where do we sign to get him in the race? "Call Sign Chaos"

Yogamama007 thanks for posting. I saw a poll from my state between Trump and 4 Democrats. 'the poll is reputable. Biden leads Trump by 8 or 9 points. Bernie by 3 or 4 points. Warren is tied and Pamela is tied. Bernie won the primary in 21016 won all 72 counties in Wisconsin. Wisconsin did not like Hilary . it is tied in Wisconsin really in elections. It depends on the candidate and who comes out to vote.

yogamama007 , the WSJ had a long excerpt from his book. He did not want the job but felt it was his duty to take it, and his duty to resign when he did. I agree about the shooting thread headline. Good move to be posting here instead.

I agree about the shooting thread. I should have never posted it and I regret it. I asked mods to take it down. So sorry.

amyrs, thanks for getting us set up for the month! The whole Alabama hurricane thing is just totally bizarre, and IMO just one more example of the fact that this man is seriously mentally ill. His insistence on sticking with his mistake just makes no sense whatsoever anyway you can look at it. It's just totally nuts. As Pam said, it's just getting harder and harder to process how deranged his behavior is. And yet Republicans just keeping pretending this Humpty Dumpty hasn't long ago fallen off the top of his wall and splattered yucky raw egg yolk everywhere never to be put back together again. Now I'm reading that Republicans in some states are trying to cancel their primaries in order to avoid the JA from having to compete against any competition. Really? They think he's so good he couldn't handle competition? Of course not. They want to prevent those people who will vote Republican whoever is on the ticket from having any other options. Such cowards. Anne, let us know how you like Mattis's book. I think he did try to reign the would be Emperor in, and when he realized that's not possible I'm glad he got out. It must be very hard for a man of honor to have to in anyway associate with his administration. He tried to do his duty.

Pattybird, you did nothing wrong, please leave your thread up in case someone wants to read it. I didn't mean to have my comments sound like a critique of your thread.It wasn't meant that way. As we know whatever we post goes to the top of the page. Just the way this site works. All 4 of my grand monsters are in school, older 2 at university, 1 H.S. and 1 in middle school. As DH said when our two went away to school,"you raise them, send them out into the world and it is like all your nerve endings are exposed raw". That feeling really does go into our next generation. Love you kiddo! Forgive me?

My sweet husband is such a compassionate man, he feels sorry for Pence if Donald does not pick him as VP for his second term.
"Pence will have missed out on all that sunshine considering where his head has been since 2017".

When he was the adult in the White House I could not get past him standing next to Trump. Now keeping an open mind.......

I saw him interviewed and he seems so decent too decent to be in the Trump administration.

Anne, like amyrs and you he seems from the partial interview I saw to be far too decent to be associated in any way with this WH. Like you while he was there in the WH I had a pretty low opinion of him based on the fact that I saw him as just another JA enabler. But while I didn't see the entire interview I did see a portion of it. Enough to make me think that maybe he was trying to put his country first, but found out the hard way that he couldn't and stay in the administration. So like you, I'm withholding judgment for the moment. We'll see. I did read (or maybe I heard it) that as a military man he felt that he could not say anything derogatory about the Commander-in-Chief, but my personal opinion on that is to not stand up and shout the truth loudly is being disloyal to the country. However, I've never been in his shoes or his position, so I'll wait to see what comes out before forming a final opinion.

Anne, I know you didn't mean it like that. There's nothing to forgive. That post was a knee jerk reaction to all these mass killings. I often write things down that have an impact on me both good and bad. However, I don't always post them. An error on my part. I wish the media would stop telling us all about the killer. I couldn't care less about his life. I don't want to know his name. I don't want to know anything about him at all. Rachael doesn't do that anymore. She'll say "the shooter" instead. Hey, it's a start. Stop giving these killers air time. As my dear old Mom would say when I'd wish for this or that. "Wish in one hand and poo-poo in the other and let me know which one you get first. Don't wish for something to happen. Make it happen instead." Your DH is a very wise man. Too bad there really isn't some kind of force field we could surround our loved ones with when they leave the house. Maybe one day. lol. XXXOOO

Found out that Trump is going to be having a rally in Rio Rancho, New Mexico (which isn't far from where I live) on September 16. So, I went to the website and ordered two tickets (the max). I told everyone I know to order tickets. I have NO intention of going, I'd just love for the rally to have lots of empty seats. New Mexico is completely blue, Democratic Governor, most of the state offices are Democrats, both Senators and all three Congresspeople (we even have one of the two first Native Americans in Congress). Anyway, I don't know if my gesture will do much, but it makes me feel better.
