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!

Honestly, Tweety is just never going to let anything go and admit that he was wrong. It's impossible for him to do. So even if he won't admit he is wrong, why not just shut up about the wiretapping that never was?!!
DH reads a lot of news from his native land in addition to the news here. They are reporting there that Tweety is sending an additional 1,000 troops to Syria. I haven't seen that anywhere here. Have any of you? So not sure if it is true or not. At the rate he is pi**ing off our long time allies, we're going to pretty soon be isolated on our own which is exactly what Bannon and the Alt-Right would like to see.
I'm confused and frustrated, and maybe even angry. The kidney doctor using blood tests from 3/10 (or so I thought) told me that scary story about my dad's kidney function being down to 15%, no diuretics unless absolutely necessary, any lower and it's dialysis, etc. The heart doctor ordered blood tests again 3/16, and the results yesterday afternoon show my dad's kidney function at 21% which is about the range we had thought it was. So heart doctor is ordering diuretics. I don't know what to think? One of those had to be wrong (hoping it is what the kidney doctor saw), because going up 6 points is a LOT, and I don't think there's anyway it could have happened in only 6 days. I am hopeful this last result is the correct one, hoping the diuretics don't throw him into kidney failure, and really upset that I have been worried sick for possibly no reason about this when it may be no worse than it has been all along. Will try to talk to the kidney doctor again on Monday. I have to be their advocate because neither my mom or dad are capable of doing it for themselves any longer, but it's really hard when I get conflicting information about such serious issues and I have no idea what or who is right.
Rant over . . . going to go celebrate youngest grandson's first birthday this afternoon.

Sorry about your dad's medical troubles. It would have been great if they could have done a third test to figure out which one was the incorrect result. I really dislike doctors after being told for over 5 years that while they knew SOMETHING was wrong they couldn't tell me EXACTLY what was wrong and that maybe it was all in my head. Turns out I had celiac disease and all I had to do was eliminate gluten. But now thanks to the years of damage it did being undiagnosed I now live with lifetime consequences of it. I am mortified with our President. Did you see the video of him ignoring Merkel when the photographers were calling for a handshake? He has proven YET AGAIN that he doesn't even have the simplest of qualifications to be our President

Joyce, sorry about the situation w/ Dad. It's very hard being an advocate. I have to go by guess w/ Jason since he NEVERS complains or expresses what he is feeling. I go by the look on his face, his eyes & my gut.
I am so sick & tired of the GOP not taking control of their party & just getting the embarrassing Oaf out of the Oval Office. They know how bad it is & yet refuse to do anything to protect the safety of this country. He's broken every ethics law & moral code there is, yet Ryan & McConnell look the other way when it comes to the influence Bannon & Miller have over Fake Prez.
Pictures speak a thousand words & there is a pic of Bush, Obama & Trump greeting Angela Merkle & wow, what a contrast. I'll see if I can find the link & post it here.

We are not going to have a friend left in the world when Tweety and Bannon get finished. It was truly embarrassing in front of the entire world how he responded to Merkle. Wonder how Spicer and KAC are going to go out and spin this. I'm sure the fake media must have manufactured all the video. Even Faux News isn't standing behind him on the wiretapping fiasco, and yet he just keeps pushing it while providing absolutely nothing to back it up and his idiotic supporters keep saying, "well, we're sure he must know something he is not telling us." Really, how gullible can some people possibly be??? It never fails to amaze me. Last night I heard a KY coal miner who is going to likely lose his healthcare say, "but I just have to believe in my heart that the President cares about us." Whatever gave him that idea? Just can't force himself to face the reality? Wait until that healthcare is gone. Reality will be a cold slap in the face.

Totally agree, the coverage on Tweety should be stopped, ignored until everything is fact checked. No more live coverage & I dream of the day Sean Spicer walks into the press briefing room & all the chairs are empty & cameras gone. I think some of the Sunday morning shows have quit inviting WH spokespeople on. Let FOX peddle the garbage & lies. It's the only outlet Tweety's supporters watch...if that. Lynn Sherr (Sp?) another reporter also had an article about not covering Trump anymore.
Did you see where Tweety & his business have made Millions from Russian elite buying, renting, etc his buildings. Surely somewhere, someone on the Ethics Committee is preparing a case to find him guilty of profiting off of being President, especially from his Russian friends.
WELCOME hnybny ...I hope you join in often. Always nice to hear additional points of view.

TRUMP ORDERS ALL WHITE HOUSE PHONES COVERED IN TIN FOIL By Andy Borowitz March 4, 2017
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In a frenzy of early-morning activity on Saturday, President Donald J. Trump ordered aides to immediately cover every phone in the White House with tin foil, White House sources confirmed.
According to the sources, Trump contacted staffers Kellyanne Conway and Sean Spicer at approximately 6 a.m. and instructed them to purchase enough tin foil to cover every phone in the building.
The President, still wearing his bathrobe after what was reportedly a sleepless night, personally supervised the tin-foil installation, sources said.
“Wrap it tighter,” he was heard bellowing at Conway.
After the installation was complete, Trump ordered the Secret Service to check every room in the White House for signs of former President Barack Obama.
“He’s still here somewhere, I know it,” Trump reportedly muttered.

Robert Reich
Yesterday, in Soeul, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson ruled out negotiations with North Korea while leaving open the possibility of a pre-emptive military strike to eliminate its nuclear program. In an interview published today, Tillerson called the North Korea threat “imminent.” On Friday, Trump posted on Twitter that “North Korea is behaving very badly” and “China has done little to help!” What kind of a pre-emptive strike do Tillerson and Trump have in mind? Are we talking nuclear here? If so, what's China's response likely to be? Are Tillerson and Trump getting any thoughtful strategic advice? Is anyone with a brain in charge? What do you think?

Is anyone with a brain in charge? What do you think? I think I should have started building that bomb shelter like I said I should do the day after the election. We are all screwed if this petulant child stays President much longer. I don't understand why so may Republicans in congress are standing by him still. Even if he gets impeached and tossed out they will still have Pence. He really isn't much better but anything would be an improvement and at least Pence knows how to act like a politician.

During a photo op in the Oval Office, the two did not shake hands before reporters. Later, during a joint news conference, Trump pushed back against the notion in Europe that his "America First" agenda means he's an isolationist, calling such a suggestion "another example of, as you say, fake news." And he referred to the United States as "a very powerful company," before quickly correcting that to "country."
He is still playing Monopoly instead of running the country.
