DH and I are catching up ( on CNN, just as 45 says, the way the rest of the world takes its news about the US  ) We just saw that he has openly excused Moore, talked about 40 years being a long time ago, basically accused everyone else, all those young women, of being liars. My DH asked me if the peas are calling the GOP the Grand Old Perverts yet. Plenty of Democrats have been outed as perverts too, why are you only condemning one party? |

To all my Trump-hating friends,
@ricky has chosen to join us in our otherwise-happy little Trump-hating enclave here (ETA the Trump catch-all thread, I mean, not the entire place ... I want to be clear).
Please, I am begging all of you, DO NOT respond to her. Let her post her challenges and disagreements, and ignore it. Let it go. Move on.
These catch-all threads have been a great source of information as well as a good place for us to vent our feelings. Please do not allow her to derail the thread and please do not derail it yourself. It is not necessary to engage.
Thank you.

ABC News...
“#Terror threat to U.S. rail puts law enforcement on high alert.”
My first thought is this real or something trump cooked up.to tout the need to build his wall and ban Muslims.
The scary thing is this is something he would do.

He gives every indication of being mentally deranged. And Congress does nothing. So they can get a FI#U$IING tax cut.
Time for our family to seriously consider moving.

linkThe CBO has released their analysis of the Senate version of the tax bill. Oh yes part of the title is “ job acts” let’s not forget that. In the article by TPM was this little jewel. “Because most Americans at the lowest-earning end of the spectrum do not pay income taxes, the estimate is largely based on them losing tax credits for purchasing health insurance because the tax bill repeals the individual mandate. Republican lawmakers have argued the drop in health coverage would be a choice, but the CBO emphasizes that many would also be pushed out of the market against their will by rising premiums.” This makes no sense. If people had insurance but all of a sudden lost their means to pay for the insurance and have to drop it just exactly how is that a choice not to have insurance? This tax reform is a joke. It’s not going to create new jobs for those who voted for trump under the mistaken belief he cared for their well being and those long lost $30 an hour jobs will magically reappear because he says so. They want to remove the individual mandate for health care insurance which will really make everyone’s premium soar. And they have inserted a little amendment that could make abortions illegal. How low they have sunk.

Danica Rome the new member of the Virginia House Of Delegates and who happens to be transgender wrote a series of tweets that I thought were interesting...
Since the election, I've repeatedly heard these Republican talking points about why they lost, basically making Democratic voters out to be too dumb to vote Republican and caring too much about identity politics. At risk of giving them good ideas, let me break this down. /1
1) I spent 10 months detailing my plan to fix #Route28: how much it would cost ($300M), how to pay for it (reallocating 28-66 funds), what it would look like (replace traffic lights with overpasses) & how I would get it done (local+state). Y'all hit me on "transgenderism." /2
2) At the state level, y'all made a pediatrician who volunteers at a children's hospice out to be a member of MS-13 and campaigned throughout the state on Confederate statues and fiscally reckless tax cuts your own state senators called BS. And you wonder why you lost? /3
3) Here in Manassas, @carterforva and I talked relentlessly about jobs. Roads. Schools. Health care. Equality. I know this because Lee and I saw each other on the stump constantly. And y'all went after us for and "teaching transgenderism to kindergartners" and "socialism." /4
4) When you spend an entire year just trying to make people afraid of people in their community and you apply this asinine labels as if you're trying to make people afraid of an ideology or an idea, then you're neglecting the very basics of governing to divide our communities. /5
5) Look at the BS the Democrats in PWC had to put up with from y'all this year. Racism. Xenophobia. Transphobia. When I went on offense in my TV ad, I had a first-person testimonial from someone in PWC who your policies left uninsured. You hit me for my band and my gender. /6
6) Bottom line: Knock off the divisive BS and actually campaign on boring stuff like infrastructure because it's the boring stuff that the people pay you with their tax dollars to work on so they don't have to focus on it. That's literally your job. Try doing it. /7
“One more thing: Stop believing your own headlines. I knew beyond a shred of doubt we would win this race when y'all actually, sincerely thought based on a POS robo poll that 27% of Dems wouldn't vote for me if they knew I'm trans.
1) Wrong.
2) Stop attacking trans people. #NoH8”
Which prompted this reply from a Lola Burger....
“ You got there by showing how you would do the job! Homework and hard work. THANK YOU”
Which prompted this from Danica..
”.I really like that phrase "homework and hard work." Mind if I make it a part of my stump speeches? =) “
The Democrats could learn something from this. The Republicans are too far gone to learn anything anymore. The homework would apply both to the candidate and the voter.

The only problem is thin skinned vengeful bully trump will rant about it for days. No matter what, if Obama is invited, it will get under Trump’s skin. If Obama is invited and he is not, there will be an epic Twitter tantrum. If they are both invited, he will be thoroughly ticked at the rapport Obama will have with other leaders while he gets (at best) begrudging recognition of his presence or (at worst) left to sulk in a corner by himself because no one wants to talk to him. |

There is no way they would want Trump there, they are humanitarians. Who gives a crap what his reaction will be. He will probably claim he turned them down. I hope Obama goes! What a strong message that will send. |

I asked a legitimate question, but if that bothers you, you really should consider stating up front that you don't want your hate and bigotry ruined with disagreement or facts instead of reverting to an 8 year old twit telling everyone not to play with so and so today. And no, I don't need a response. |

The only problem is thin skinned vengeful bully trump will rant about it for days. Obama and The Princes are friends. Obama came up here in September to join Harry to support the US troops for the Invictus games. Batak and Harry sat together and then went out for dinner. I would totally see why the Obamas would be invited to Harry’s wedding. Trump probably can't even spell Invictus. |

ABC News...
“The lawyer for President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser Michael T. Flynn met Monday morning with members of special counsel Robert Mueller’s team — the latest indication that both sides are discussing a possible plea deal, ABC News has learned.
Trump’s legal team confirmed late last week that Flynn’s attorney Robert Kelner alerted the team that he could no longer engage in privileged discussions about defense strategy in the case — a sign Flynn is preparing to negotiate with prosecutors over a deal that could include his testimony against the president or senior White House officials.”
Tweet rant coming up?

At a Navajo veterans' event, Trump makes 'Pocahontas' crackCNN Digital Expansion 2017 By Dan Merica, CNN Updated 3:30 PM ET, Mon November 27, 2017 Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump, during an event at the White House honoring Navajo code talkers Monday, referenced his nickname for Sen. Elizabeth Warren, "Pocahontas," a label he has long used about the Massachusetts Democrat. "I just want to thank you because you are very, very special people. You were here long before any of us were here," Trump said. "Although, we have a representative in Congress who has been here a long time ... longer than you -- they call her Pochahontas!"
He then turned to one of the code talkers behind him, put his left hand on the man's shoulder and said: "But you know what, I like you. You are special people."Trump did not name Warren. The comment, met with silence from event attendees, revives an insult the President has long thrust upon Warren but restated a high-profile meeting with the Native American war heroes.

Thanks @merge, for the idea.

I also agree with @lugyg ...let's please not allow this thread to be derailed.

Frankly, I think Warren was in the wrong to try to get ahead by claiming she had Indian blood. (and I really DO have Indian blood-provable!) My grandchildren had to PROVE affiliation with a tribe before they were granted any federal scholarship money. Why didn't SHE have to prove hers?? THAT is where the fault lies! She is a liar!!
