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 are hatched.

Donald Trump Jr. claims he knows what his father said to James Comey, in private, about the investigation into Michael Flynn. The funny thing is, Donald Trump Jr. appears to be contradicting Donald Trump Sr. on.msnbc.com/2tcbbswGotta love the fact that this family just can't keep their mouths shut or their stories straight....LOL...JA own family seem to be willing to throw Dad under the bus thru their need to brag & pound their chests...Its a wonder this family made it as far as they did in business, etc...oh, yes, that's right, they lie, cheat & obstruct & run over anyone or anything they can to line their pockets with $$$.....And the Trumpettes clap & cheer & shout AMEN... How deplorable. IMHO... đ |

You just can't help but laugh at the way the whole bunch of them keeping stepping all over themselves, and it is just impossible for them to keep quiet. They crave the spotlight more than a heroin addict craves another hit. It is really laughable until you remember how serious it all is. I just saw this column from Andy Borowitz this morning although I think it's about a month old so you all may have already seen it. I love Borowitz's satire, and Linda sometimes posts his pieces which I thoroughly enjoy. Anyway here's a link to this one about impeachment in case you haven't already seen it. www.newyorker.com/humor/borowitz-report/trump-boasts-that-his-impeachment-will-get-higher-tv-ratings-than-all-other-impeachments |

"Sen. John McCain -- who once called former President Barack Obama's foreign policy "feckless" -- insisted that his 2008 presidential rival still provided more American global leadership than the current president.
The Arizona Republican was asked in an interview published Sunday if America's standing on the global stage was better under Obama than President Donald Trump.
"As far as American leadership is concerned, yes," McCain told the Guardian." -- Eugene Scott, CNN website
McCain and Graham both get on my nerves. They're trying to ride the fence as far as they can. They both know JA is a disaster for the country, and they say just enough publicly to let that be known but when it comes to votes or really standing up to be counted they're hiding behind the potted plant in the corner. They don't want to go too far out on a limb and risk angering their base, but they want to be able to say, "See we told you so . . ." when it all hits the fan, and try to appear as saviors of their party. Just more hypocrisy with a little veneer laid over the top.

Well, McCain & Graham can stay behind the potted plant in the corner. Just don't let them find our bench...LOL...Boy, I agree, they both talk out of both sides of their mouth. But such is most of the Republican Party these days concerning JA. Paul Ryan is the worst of the worst there.

Looks like Megan Kelly & NBC really stepped into it by interviewing Alex Jones...the Sandy Hook denier!...... I totally belive this interview should never have happened. She & NBC should be ashamed for giving this idiot a platform to speak. Evidently the feelings of Sandy Hook parents & others who lived this nigtmare mean nothing over ratings & $$$...damn shameful!

I totally agree about giving Alex Jones a platform to spew his disgusting, hate filled conspiracy theories. I hope people will be disgusted enough not to watch, but more than likely a lot will tune in giving Megyn the ratings she craves. Can you get any lower than to try to make an advertising buck and garner more fame off the unspeakable deaths of little children? I shouldn't ask because when I think something can't go lower it always does.
âMany donât know him; our job is 2 shine a light,â she wrote." Shine a light? Shining a light to me means pointing out how conspiracy theorists with their outlandish views are destroying the fabric of our country. It does NOT mean giving them a bigger platform to spread even more hate. Right now the people who hear his hate filled lies have to make an actual effort to do so for the most part. They have to seek him out. Putting him on a national widely watched television station puts this hate in the living rooms of unsuspecting viewers who would never seek such filth out on their own, and encourages him to become even more nasty.
Really Megyn? Is fame and money truly worth all the heartbreak for these families? Is it worth letting this ugliness permeate even more corners of the world?

Off our usual topic, but Bill Cosby has disappointed me so badly. I used to really admire him, so it's a blow to find out he was never who I thought he was. What surprises me though is his wife standing by his side, going to court with him, etc. How does she do that? Why does she do that?

Nope, I don't get the Crosby thing either. I saw that the gal that played "Rudy" on the show, was with him last week. I honestly don't think I could be that loyal considering his apparent long history of sexual exploitation. Just never really know some people I guess.

I could understand it better if he had just been a philanderer. Nobody knows what really goes on within a marriage except the two people involved, and if she's willing to put up with philandering then that's her choice. But if the stories are true, he wasn't just a philanderer, as bad as that is, but an actual predator drugging women in order to have sex with them. Scary stuff! It is still his wife's choice, and I'm sure she must have her reasons but I can't fathom what could possibly make her accept his being an actual predator. Maybe she's in denial? It surely would be hard to accept that about someone you love. No matter her reasons, it's their marriage and I'm sorry she's having to be drug through the muck and mire. As for him, I'm just sorry he turned out to be such a low life. I have no sympathy to spare for him.

Ivanka and all the rest of the clan are such whiners. Were they paying no attention at all to the the way the Clintons were hounded by the right, and the unspeakable hateful things that were said and are still being said by the right about the Obamas. I guess not. They must not have paid any attention to politics at all until Tweety decided to jump in and make them some more money. Otherwise, they wouldn't continually keep saying such idiotic things, and just as an after thought, had they actually paid any attention whatsoever to politics Ivanka and Melania would have dressed more appropriately for the first address to joint sessions of Congress rather than looking like they were going to a cocktail party. Pretty dresses, but totally inappropriate for the occasion. Not that it matters, but just a thought that ran through my mind . . .  |

He has one foot in the grave and then it will all be hers - well, if the accusers don't get it all. |
