Lessons learned to everyone as we all double post on this site. Plus @triciact gave a link that includes Kellyann quitting her job with Trump and George quitting his job as a anti-Trumper with the the Republics not supporting Trump Lincoln Project!
All of our tiny comments leave out the bigger story and emphasize why links are helpful.
Also newest posts are always at the bottom right of site. I read all the ones I've ever commented on or am interested in there to see if someone got up and read the news before me.
Also we have a button where all the info of posts precedes the newest where the site shows us which ones each of us has already read or that remain "unread ".
We've all been ruined by Facebook and Twitter to want to add tiny comments as fast as we can. Sign of our sad times. Going deeper and actually clicking and reading links raises us all up faster for being in the know.
If you can remember it and correctly afterwards. I tend to head off to tell my husband the latest and by the time i find him I've forgotten the best details! Just like here!
Hahahaha. We all try!?????

Things that make you go Hmmm....
Kellyanne Conway announces she's leaving the White House and George Conway is stepping away from Lincoln Project
Sorry to correct you but Trump was actually born in the "Jamaica Hospital Medical Center" in the Borough of Queens, New York City, NY
He was not born in Jamaica as is now erroneously reported in a post and then passed on. This is known as an Urban Myth if you read it and believed it and passed it on just as might now happen here if one of us didn't mention it. ?
All i had to do was Google "where was Trump born" to get this large Google box and its info and link to info included. ???
Jamaica Hospital Medical Center
Trump was born on June 14, 1946, at Jamaica Hospital in the borough of Queens, New York City. His father was Frederick Christ Trump, a Bronx-born real estate developer whose parents were German immigrants. His mother was Scottish-born housewife Mary Anne MacLeod Trump.

I believe that Claudia is only 15 years old, not 17. Plus they have 4 young kids of various ages having to do remote schooling. That would be a challenge enough for anyone... And I understand that their marriage is suffering too. I can't stand Kellyanne either but I give both George and Kellyanne credit for recognizing this and putting their family first. Perhaps, like Bill & Hillary, they will do some serious constructive marriage counseling. I never could wrap my head around their marriage anyway: polar opposites in their political outlook. Me? I shudder to even speak to Trump cult neighbors...never MIND sharing a bed with one...Some things in life just defy comprehension...
New York’s Democratic attorney general asked a court Monday to enforce subpoenas into an investigation into whether President Donald Trump and his businesses inflated assets on financial statements.
Attorney General Letitia James filed a petition in state trial court in New York City naming the Trump Organization, an umbrella group for the Republican president’s holdings, as a respondent along with other business entities. The filing also named Eric Trump and Seven Springs, a New York estate owned by the Trump family.
The attorney general’s office is investigating whether the Trump Organization and the president improperly inflated the value of assets to secure loans and obtain economic and tax benefits. Investigators are looking into whether the Trump Organization and its agents improperly inflated the value of the Seven Springs north of the city.
In the court filings, the attorney general’s office wrote that “information regarding the valuation of Seven Springs is significant” to the office’s investigation.
Emails seeking comment were sent to lawyers for the Trump Organization and Eric Trump.
The investigation was launched in March 2019 after Trump’s longtime personal lawyer Michael Cohen told Congress that Trump had inflated the value of his assets to obtain more favorable terms for loans and insurance coverage.
Hmmm....from the Guardian just now
@michele-b Well, the astrology person who was doing his chart got it wrong. Too Bad, I was hoping for a gotcha.
@paul-w I truly hope they are doing the right thing for their family. I worry that their concern is what will come out in a court case if their daughter truly proceeds with emancipation ... or what dirt she will spill if she continues tearing her family down on social media.
Anyone else feel "quieted"? Lately the news is too caustic to watch. I don't feel stirred up. A voice says it's time to reunite Americans.
I wasn't sure where to post this, but I figured we might need to revisit some normalcy.
Attached is Obama’s final White House press corps dinner speech. I saw the speech when it aired in the spring of 2016, but had forgotten a lot of it. It felt so wonderful to laugh again with a President … to feel so calm and uplifted. And yet, to feel such sadness. I’m holding onto that hopeful, uplifted feeling. I’m holding onto that laughter!
I hesitated posting this, fearing that it might bum some of you out. But then I thought, it’s good to be reminded what normal should be like. I believe since we’ve been there once, we can be there again -- but even better than before.
If you choose to watch the video and find it makes you too sad, you can forward to around the 23 minute mark. That’s where Obama talks about what he might do with his free time once he’s out of the Oval Office. Very funny.

I am so glad you posted this. The bit he did - especially with John Boehner cracked me up. I needed a good laugh and even though it might be sad to think we went from a President we laughed WITH to one we laugh AT (or now cry because of)....it was still funny! ? ?
Kamala Harris spoke about Trump's total fail on the handling of the pandemic today:

I did see the live presentation of Kamala's speech today. She was fantastic.
Unfortunately I couldn't get your link to work; it kept taking me to other videos (including Melania's convention speech), but not to the one with Harris.
WOW so sorry the link didn't work. I've decided to repost the correct speech here (makes me wonder how that happened that it went to Melania's speech lol)

So Trump wants Biden to take a drug test?
Seriously? This is coming from a man who looks like he put on orange face paint for a Tennessee Vols game but (1) used the Texas Longhorn shade by mistake and (2) used lead paint that was so old that it permanently changed his face and affected his mind.
I got a better idea. Let Trump and Biden have a race. Down a ramp. And let Trump have a head start, considering he has bone spurs.
No? Then how about a drinking contest. But let Trump have a sippy cup so he doesn't need both hands to hold his glass to his lips.
I swear, why do we even bother with the man? He must have made a deal with the devil, which would explain why he hasn't caught Covid 19 yet. (Unlike Boris Johnson in Britain, who went around shaking hands and downplaying the threat until he caught it). I wish he would just quit and leave us in peace. We (the 65% of us who despise Trump) deserve a better President and a better country.
