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!

Humor is the only thing that is sustaining me right now. Last night (or in the wee hours of the morning) the idiot-in-chief with his fat tiny fingers tweeted a strange incoherent tweet that caused the internet to go nutso. If you haven't seen it or the fall-out from "covfefe" --- it's good for a laugh! Just search #covfefe !!

pbnj, LOL at that. One thing about Americans in general that I love is the quick sense of humor. Some people truly are very quick and very clever. Tiny hands can be such a problem! Thank goodness we do have press covfefe or otherwise this would all just get swept under the rug. As it is, I am hopeful the truth, whatever it is, will eventually come out. There are only so many rocks to hide under.

Speaking of being clever and funny, what do you think of the supposed Kathy Griffin picture showing Tweety beheaded? I haven't seen the photo, and don't really want to. I've only read about it, but it doesn't sound either clever or funny to me. It sounds disgusting. From what I've read about it, I would say Griffin definitely crossed the line. I'm not a fan of hers anyway, but this sounds like she went way too far. Violence is never funny. Supposedly she is an intelligent woman, so certainly she should have known better. Tweety is repulsive and disgusting, but Griffin IMO instead of raising anyone's conscious level (if that's what she was trying to do) only sunk herself down into the sludge.

Yes, Kathy Griffin crossed the line with the bloody head image. It just gives the other side more garbage to throw back at the Dem's/Libs/Progressives. One step forward & 2 steps back. I know many think that Hollywood isn't intelligent or shouldn't have a right to any political thoughts because they are just "actors" but,ya they are & yes they do. I mean as someone else said, think of "who" elected an empty headed TV Reality personality...It wasn't the Liberals...LOL...Kathy Griffin made a huge mistake & she will probably pay for that in some way. But all the huge mistakes coming from this WH are harming this country far more than her despicable image did. As for the violence of it, JA took several days before condemning the Oregon incident & during his rallies he & his associates called for violence against the press & Hilary. Not much of an outcry from those that are so incensed now. I really don't want harm to come to him. He would just become a Martyr to his followers. I want him to be fully aware of the damage he has done to this country & live with that. And if crimes were indeed committed by him, his family & administration, then jail it is.

So we are out of the Paris Climate Agreement. Steve Bannon won! I'm sure JA in Chief doesn't even know what the agreement is. They must hate President Obama so bad to try & trash everything he accomplished while he was President.

I agree with everything you said, Linda. It concerns me when I see anyone glorify violence, and it really disappoints me when that someone is also portraying themselves as a liberal. So I hope Griffin does have to "pay" for this mistake. As you said, why give them any ammunition?
"I want him to be fully aware of the damage he has done to this country & live with that. And if crimes were indeed committed by him, his family & administration, then jail it is." -- Linda
I would like for him to become fully aware of the damage done to the country, but Linda is nice and giving him more credit than I do. I don't think he is capable of being aware or even caring about the country. I truly believe he is so narcissistic and self-involved that he sees the entire world as revolving solely around himself. I think he is psychopath without a conscience. People write about his love and loyalty for his family, but I really don't believe that. I think he loves and is loyal to them only as he thinks they are a reflection of him. But let one of them, even Ivanka, become perceived by him as a liability and I think he would kick her to the curb without a second thought. He truly disgusts me.
That being said, like Linda I don't want any harm to come to him. I just want him out of office, and if it is proven that he or anyone around him did break the law then I want them behind bars. Either way, I want him out of office because even if he didn't break the law he is surely destroying the country.

It really pisses me off what Kathy Griffin did. That picture is disgusting and offensive. She just gave the right ammunition to say that the left has no basis for the fight. I personally can't stand her so I hope this makes her go away for good now.
If we pull out of the Paris Climate Accord we will officially be the laughing stock of the world. This so called President is a danger to the entire country and needs to be thrown out of office sooner rather than later. The Republicans in Congress will be just as responsible for this as Tweety is and they should be ashamed of themselves!

Joyce your description of JA is right on. He probably isn't capable of feeling anything for anyone but his own self interest.
As for the Republicans, they should be more than ashamed of themselves for sure. They must still be clinging to the hope that they can still get something out of JA before he goes down. They are selling their souls to the devil himself! I'm sure Pat will say, they have no souls...LOL đ
So, JA is giving out his private cell number to world leaders asking them to call him on that... Ahhhhhh, wasn't there something about a private server & emails he was ranting about not that long ago. Isn't there a song called "Call Me" that went viral awhile back. ? LOL

Regarding pulling out of the Paris Climate Agreement . . . "The decision, which will be announced this week, would put the US at odds with nearly every other nation on earth." -- CNN article
He's only been in office since January 20, and yet he has already managed to destroy our credibility around the world even with long term allies while not managing to achieve a single thing even with a Republican Congress and Republican Senate. How on earth do his supporters justify that to themselves?

His hard core supporters don't give a damn about this country. They just care about their own little corner of the world where no one can tell them anything & are only concerned about themselves... They generally are people walking around with a chip on their shoulder thinking the world owes them. They don't like taxes, they don't like laws, they generally are racist in some way or another ( yes I'll say it) ...it's their way or the highway. I'm just sick of their hatred for everything that that does make America great. đ

Kathy Griffin's an asshat!
The irony that Syria is the other country not on board with the Paris Climate Accord is too much.

"I'm just sick of their hatred for everything that that does make America great." Amen to that Linda!
Pam, good to see you here. You're right about the irony. Do you think he and his followers even realize that or is irony a concept too deep for them?

Mueller is OK with Comey testifying so it looks like it will go down next week. Apparently he will not be discussing the Russia investigation but the memos are bound to come up and be thoroughly discussed. Can't wait!
