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! *lies, more lies, firings, and promulgation of conspiracy theories*

It seems that as more gets uncovered about the Russian connections, the more desperate the WH becomes to redirect the public's attention. So another 46 US attorneys are fired to try to redirect the heat, and Spicer promotes belief in the alt-right's conspiracy theory of a "Deep State." They are trying desperately to keep the press and the public focused on anything other than digging out the truth. Nixon tried that too. I predict it's not going to work any better for this administration than it did for Nixon's.

SATIRE FROM THE BOROWITZ REPORT
MIDDLE-SCHOOLER WHO WROTE G.O.P. HEALTH-CARE BILL CLAIMS HE HAS NOT BEEN PAID
By Andy Borowitz March 10, 2017
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)âThe middle-school student who wrote the Republican health-care bill that was unveiled earlier in the week complained on Friday that he still has not been paid for his work.
Kevin Tenco, a seventh grader from House Speaker Paul Ryanâs congressional district, in Wisconsin, said that Ryan hired him two weeks ago to write the American Health Care Act with the promise that it âwouldnât be too much workâ and that he would be paid handsomely for his effort.
âHe said I would get paid, like, five hundred dollars, and I could buy a Nintendo Switch,â Tenco said.
Taking Ryan at his word, the thirteen-year-old, from Twin Lakes, Wisconsin, âpulled several all-nightersâ to complete the health-care bill in time for its Monday unveiling.
âI basically went to the Wikipedia page for Obamacare, cut and pasted a bunch of stuff and then threw in some tax cuts and whatnot,â he said. âIt doesnât sound like a lot of work, but I was super tired by the end of it.â
According to Tenco, Ryanâs failure to pay him in a timely fashion for writing the American Health Care Act has left him âfeeling really bad about our government.â
âI was all set to write an immigration reform bill for Congressman Ryan, but now thereâs no way,â he said.

I'm starting to feel like all I do is post quotes. Oh wait! That is all I do. lol. Here's the thing. When I see meaningful and intelligent things sane people say, I have to put it out there for other sane people to see.
"We all have to adjust to this unprecedented assault on the truth and stand ready to vigilantly defend against it, because without truth, what's left? OUR PRESIDENT IS A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR. Say it, write it. Never become inured to it and dispense with the terms of art to describe it. A lie by any other name portends the same."

Thanks for correcting the video site, Joyce. I must have copied when the next one came up & didn't notice.
Pat, I copy & paste all the time, too. I keep hoping others who believe in the issues differently than those of us here, will be curious enough to read or follow a link. Never know, may end up persuading someone to re-examine the way they look at things. I don't think Tweety's hardcore supporters/Obama & Hilary haters will ever allow themselves to open their minds even a little bit, but, maybe there are a few Trump supporters having buyers remorse. One can always hope, right!?!?

Nothing wrong with C/P from an intelligent source. You are never going to convince the far far right (or left/we have them too) who look up when it is raining and have knee jerk reactions....but maybe those closer to the middle with more of an open mind and the independents. Heading out in this brutal weather for a hair cut.......(you have to suffer to be be beautiful ) BIG BBall day for the tall kid.....two games. He just drained a long 3......what eye/hand coordination he has! "Wish him luck."......  said the doting grandmother. BBL |

Just waving hello to everyone this morning! Today is my mom's birthday. DD and family are coming to celebrate, and DGKs will stay with us through Wednesday as they are on Spring Break but DD and DSIL have to work. DD will actually be in a conference in Nashville Tuesday and Wednesday. I am looking forward to the time with DGKs. Have a lovely day everyone, and I'm going to spend the next few days enjoying a place called Hippity Hop, the Adventure Science Center (actually looking forward to that one), the park, etc. Will check back in from time to time to see what's happening in the world outside the Nickelodeon channel. |
