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!

This family just has no moral compass & seems to think they are entitled....
Huff Post...For spring break this year, the Trump kids ― Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump ― have all headed to Aspen, Colorado.Â
With them, the three kids brought along their significant others and children (though Ivanka’s husband, Jared Kushner, stayed behind in D.C. as he’s President Trump’s senior advisor).Â
The Aspen Times reported the family arrived over the weekend and, according to a source, were reportedly accompanied by around 100 members of the Secret Service. The outlet also said that the Secret Service apparently spent $12,208.25 on rental ski equipment and clothing at the Aspen Valley Ski and Snowboard Club, though the club couldn’t confirm the purchase.Â
Regardless, people in Aspen are not happy about the Trumps visiting their town.Â
“They’re everywhere. There are so many of them,” a visiting New Yorker in Aspen told Vanity Fair in an article that described the vacation situation as “a nightmare.” “Everyone is complaining. Everyone is annoyed.”...........
So, Ivanka just gets a new office with no title & with Security Clearance, then jets off to Aspen with her brothers, SIL, & all the kids & nannies & our tax $$$ once again being used to pay for their pampered lives. All, the while, their Daddy is taking benifits away from unprivileged, disabled, & hard working Americans. Shameful!

I find Ivanka and Jared's status at the WH very troubling. Really at 35 years old with no government experience whatsoever between them, just how are they expected to do much advising to a President?  It's just one more example of Tweety surrounding himself with people who will allow him to just continue saying and tweeting anything that pops into his empty head. This is preposterous! There are so many issues that need to be addressed seriously by people who have experience, but instead this is what we get. The Liar-in-Chief knows absolutely no bounds. We have become the laughing stock of the civilized world. Is there a single ally he hasn't insulted yet? Still he has not uttered one even slightly negative comment about Putin, while criticizing and snubbing every other world leader. There is a very big difference, as all of you already know, between running a family business where you don't have to answer to anyone but yourself--not even a board of directors or stockholders--and running the government of the most powerful nation on earth. And will someone please explain to me why when we already have the most powerful military in the world, we need to take away money from important, worthy issues that actually help people to spend more money to beef up the military? Could it be because Tweety and his friends are all heavily invested in industries which will benefit from buying armaments and military equipment? They'll sit back and watch their stock values and dividends expand. 3) ChinaMilitary Budget: $216 billion Active frontline personnel: 2,333,000 Tanks: 9,150 Total aircraft: 2,860 Submarines: 67 2) RussiaMilitary Budget: $84.5 billion Active frontline personnel: 766,055 Tanks: 15,398 Total aircraft: 3,429 Submarines: 55 1) United StatesMilitary Budget: $601 billion (from 2015 figures) Active frontline personnel: 1,400,000 Tanks: 8,848 Total aircraft: 13,892 Submarines: 72 |

I found this interesting . . . "President Donald Trump's repeated lack of "respect for the truth" puts him in jeopardy of being viewed as "a fake President," The Wall Street Journal editorial board says. "Two months into his presidency, Gallup has Mr. Trump's approval rating at 39%. No doubt Mr. Trump considers that fake news, but if he doesn't show more respect for the truth, most Americans may conclude he's a fake President," reads the editorial, which appeared online Tuesday night. This week should be dominated by the smooth political sailing for Mr. Trump's Supreme Court nominee and the progress of health-care reform on Capitol Hill," the editorial said. "These are historic events, and success will show he can deliver on his promises. But instead, the week has been dominated by the news that he was repudiated by his own FBI director." While the Journal's editorial board was no friend of Trump during much of the 2016 campaign, the strong language in the editorial is particularly notable given the board's typically conservative outlook and the fact that the Journal is owned by Rupert Murdoch, with whom Trump has had a long and complicated relationship. Murdoch harshly criticized Trump in the wake of his 2015 putdown of Sen. John McCain but has gradually warmed up to the businessman-turned-President. -- www.cnn.com/2017/03/22/politics/donald-trump-wsj-trust/index.html |

The bad seed and all his little seedlings.........(remember that movie? The Bad Seed- though that may apply more to Bannon)
I don't get the "entitled" feeling as much as suck up all you can get from the American taxpayer before daddy gets kicked out of office. Heck, why spend their money when they can spend ours?

Easy one- Because he has small hands, compensate-compensate!
He learned well from "Dick" Cheney.
Boy, this would be the year we all don't want to be paying taxes. Haven't felt this way since the Viet Nam War.

Why does Rep. Devine Nunes (R) head of Intel Committee always feel the need to run to White House before speaking to anyone else on his Committee when revealing info concerning Tweety ?...no need to answer, thinking its pretty damn clear. Spinning spining spinning to advantage of Tweety! !
When is this soap opera nightmare ever going to end!

Good for Adam Schiff (D) House Intel Ranking member for telling Nunes to choose between the White House or the Intel Comte. Can you imagine the outrage if a Dem had done what Nunes did today! Good Lord, time for an independent Investigation. Nunes is clearly playing in Fake Prez sandbox!

There definitely needs to be an independent investigation and Nunes proved today that he is incapable of being unbiased or independent. He is just a puppet for the WH, and he made that more than clear today.
Just as an FYI, looks like DH and I are going to take the opportunity to get away for a few days and visit step-son #1 in Dallas. We expect to leave tomorrow and will likely be back home on Tuesday, so just wanted you to know that if I am MIA for a few days that's the story.

Dan Rather
The plot thickens. The drum beats increase. The pressure mounts. And a question I never thought I would ever heard asked again with such urgency and stakes looms large: "What did the President know, and when did he know it?"
The latest reporting out of CNN suggests the FBI has evidence that "associates of President Donald Trump communicated with suspected Russian operatives to possibly coordinate the release of information damaging to Hillary Clinton's campaign." It is impossible to overstate the seriousness of this allegation - Americans associated with Donald Trump illegally colluding with a foreign power.
Once again, all the caveats must hold. This isn't proven. Allegations and suspicions are not an indictment. But with each turn of this story, the level of seriousness deepens. Add to this some unorthodox actions by the Republican head of the House Intelligence Committee, Devin Nunes, briefing President Trump on details of investigations, and we are long past having any excuse not to launch an open bipartisan investigation and a special prosecutor.
I have seen a lot in my lifetime. But I have never seen anything like this. No one has. The cauldron of chaos and confusion which engulfs President Trump in his early days in office is simply unprecedented.
Who knows what tomorrow will bring? The vote on the health care bill is shaping up to be its own mess. Can President Trump arm twist his own party members to deliver victory in the House? What last minute concessions will have to be made to bring along conservatives? Should we really be rushing a bill on heath care with major changes hammered out for politics instead of policy? What will this mean for the Senate?
The White House is under siege. The President's poll numbers drop to record lows. The fires of scandal are encroaching. Around and around it goes, where it stops nobody knows. Dangerous times.
