PROGRESSIVE DISCUSSION - GOOD FRIDAY THRU EASTER SUNDAY

About that Easter egg hunt. I wouldn't allow any child, especially a little girl with a pretty Easter dress on, anywhere near the WH. Besides, he doesn't give a crap about those things. The children will grab the spotlight and that will make the oaf angry. Very, very angry. Do we need that right now when this madman is itching to blow up another country or two or more?

LOCK HIM UP! It would make the world a safer place for all living things.

Would not put it past him to start a war with N.K. on Easter Sunday.

"Have a Happy and Blessed Easter to all Americans."

Love
Donny T. and the Azhats

Going to try to make this a non-political weekend and ignore the criminal in the Southern White House.

The Trump Family, with all their money, still do not get the subtleties of true Class.

How could he Joyce? Dummfy can't think beyond himself. True Narcissus Personality.



I am sorry to hear about your cousin, when someone we love dies it is really a wake up call. Have a safe journey and try not to talk politics after the service. ;-} (I know you would give me the same advice my friend)

Anne, I'm so happy you have Bluebirds! Give your DH a pat on the back for me, so to speak. Hopefully they'll make their way across the Sound and maybe I'll even get to see one. I'd love that. Many of the state and county parks have set up bluebird houses but I still don't think we have any over here. Pesticides wiped them out of NY many years ago. But, if they're in Connecticut and Pennsylvania I have hope and I'm not usually a hopeful person. lol.

My Hummingbird feeders have been out for about a week now. So me. lol.

And yes, bird watching is what we do. It's less stressful than watching TV, right?

We just got back from a Trump tax protest! We had a good turnout. I wasn't the only one with a cane either. lol. Many people were in wheel chairs but we were there! We saw some wonderful signs. We chatted with wonderful people and many had their wonderful dogs with them. Oh, it was so nice to hang out with sane, reasonable, aware, and fun people! Our friend, Linda, took some pictures and when she sends them to us, I'll share them. Linda has an SLR digital camera. We have cell phone camera's so I'll wait until the good pictures get here. lol.

Joyce, I'm so sorry to hear about your cousin.

Huff Post...
President Donald Trump is reportedly demanding that a trip in a royal carriage be a part of his itinerary during a state visit to Britain later this year, according to U.K.’s The Times.
A carriage procession from London’s Horse Guards Parade to Buckingham Palace is a normal part of the protocol for a state visit. But The Times noted President Barack Obama chose not to travel in the carriage during a 2011 visit, opting to make the trip in his armored limousine.
The White House did not return a request for comment.
If Trump does travel by carriage, he could likely use the lavish gold-plated Diamond Jubilee State coach, which other foreign dignitaries, including Chinese President Xi Jinping and Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, have used during past state visits.
Sources told The Times that the carriage was not as secure as the president’s traditional armored vehicle that is bulletproof, protects against a chemical attack, and can withstand a small bomb.
Security officials are preparing for massive protests during Trump’s visit, which The Times reported will require unprecedented security. The Evening Standard reported in February that policing costs for the visit could be up to 7 million pounds.
“The vehicle which carries the president of the United States is a spectacular vehicle. It is designed to withstand a massive attack like a low-level rocket grenade,” a source told The Times. “If he’s in that vehicle he is incredibly well protected and on top of that it can travel at enormous speed. If he is in a golden coach being dragged up the Mall by a couple of horses, the risk factor is dramatically increased.”
The drain on resources for a carriage trip may be of little significance to Trump. He has stretched the Secret Service thin and spent millions in American taxpayer funds to protect his family and to take frequent weekend trips to his estate in Florida.
Trump, known to obsess over imagery and the way he appears on television, toyed with the idea of having military equipment in his inaugural parade.
Over 1.8 million people signed an online petition earlier this year arguing that Queen Elizabeth II shouldn’t extend a formal invitation for a state visit to Trump because “it would cause embarrassment to Her Majesty the Queen.” In January, British Prime Minister Theresa May extended an invitation for a state visit to Trump on behalf of the queen and he accepted.
“This invitation reflects the importance of the relationship between the United States of America and the United Kingdom. At this stage, final dates have not yet been agreed for the State Visit,” the Foreign and Commonwealth Office wrote in response to the petition.
