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.

Interesting kind of day in GA today. Wow, those attack ads targeting the Democrats for the Baseball Practice shootings were downright disgusting. So much for trying to fix the problem of hateful rhetoric .

Anxious to hear how the Georgia race goes today. I really hope the Democrat wins, and the Rs start seeing the writing on the wall. Rs are using some very dirty tactics, however, so it is hard to know which way it may tilt. Either way, it should be a close race which in that district should tell politically savvy Rs something. At least it will tell them something if they can get their heads out of the sand long enough to listen.

While there are some people who enjoy that hate filled rhetoric, dirty political tactics such as using President Obama's words out of context, blaming Democrats for the baseball shootings, etc. I have to believe that the majority of Americans are sick and tired of this. Sooner or later those kind of tactics are going to blow up in their faces--at least I hope they will. I don't want to think that things will never get better, and that the basest elements of our society will have the last word.

When President Obama went into office, he made it a point to try and have a lot of transparency so that ordinary citizens knew what was going on in their government. Information was readily available on the Internet for everyone. However, this administration has taken down almost all, if not all, of that information and it is no longer available. Heck, they don't even let the public know who goes in and out of the WH anymore. Even the Senate is trying to put together a healthcare bill in secrecy. That concerns me a great deal. I think it should concern everyone whether you are Democrat, Republican, or Independent. "We the people" should know what is going on within our government. It should all be out in the sunshine. Sure there are some things that have to be kept secret for national security reasons. I get that, but everything that is not a classified national security issue should be conducted in the open, and every citizen should be able to know. Personally, I think we're going down a very scary, slippery slope with the trajectory we're on now where business, even mundane business, is transacted in secrecy and stealth. This POTUS seems to have a real aversion to transparency, and it is rubbing off on other branches of government as well.

I think what they seem to forget, is that they don't work for any particular party, but these politicians are in DC to serve the American people who gave them the privilege of working together to make our country even better for all, not just a few.
Can you imagine the outrage if this was a Democratic President doing this....oh, wait, there was an uproar over Hilary's private email server. After oodles of $$$ & hours spent demonizing her, now, willy nilly, as you stated, Joyce, websites are scrubbed clean, plus, press conferences are nothing but a joke, can't get a straight answer out of anyone since they are tripping over each other & their contradictions. Tweety is now having serious problems filling positions in all area because no one trusts him enough to work with him. The government may have to buy a bigger as in "YUGE" bus, because it's going to get mighty crowded under it very very soon when Tweety's loyalties go right out the window to save himself. Wait until the Conservatives destroy Net Neurality. The Internet as we know it will never be the same. Just shameful all the way around. My gosh, he hasn't even been in office 6 months & look at the destruction already taking place!!!!!!!!..........😡

I agree Linda. It makes me very angry too, and I feel frustrated and helpless. Someone is going to have to stand up and start representing the people who elected them. I truly expect that the JA is going to be impeached and convicted, but even if that happens we're left with Pence or perhaps Ryan if Pence gets convicted too. I don't like Ryan's political stances, but I can live with that if he or anyone of them would make a genuine effort to represent the people of the country. Right now they all act like it is some reality game show. Heck! JA probably really thinks that. I say we have a tribal council and vote him off the island.

The problem I am having is "closed minds". What do all the Trump supporters think this country will look in 4 years?
Dumpfy isn't running a government he is playing in a Tree House with all his pals. His not too bright pals who will only stick around till it is no longer for their benefit.

I don't understand why the family of Otto Warmbier objected to an autopsy? We would want to know everything they could find out about the true cause of death.
