There's a meme circulating now on social media from today's marches... "I can't believe I stop have to protest this [!@#$%^&*]!ng sh!t" LOL

Absolutely. Again, absolutely true. We can not allow Trump's numerous, daily lies to go unchecked. And the MSM have to pressured into doing the same.

Wow. Nothing about him is original, it's all about image. <ToadTheWetSproket> Hollow people rattle when you shake them </ToadTheWetSproket>

I caught some of Spicer yelling at the "press conference", it was honestly disturbing. It's only Day 2 and THIS is the benchmark that this administration wants to set? Not to mention, Trump going to CIA headquarters and...blaming the media for what HE SAID. I agree that Rove was probably more responsible for the hate speech than GWB was, but he still took the torch and ran with it. I'd like to think the apple doesn't fall far from the tree and I actually like his dad. The less said about Jeb the better.

Except he was mean spirited. The man tried his damnedest, and built his campaign around, writing discrimination into the constitution. His denseness is entertaining, though. It does make me laugh.

We have a retired Army soldier living across the street from us. She served in Desert Storm and Hillary came by to visit the troops and she talked to her. She was a fan of HRC ever since. She said exactly what you mention above, that was compassionate, warm and friendly during that one on one. She even has a picture of her and HRC. One of the best speeches of her career was when The Orange Menace hired Bannon to his campaign, and Hillary spoke to his character and what Breitbart stood for. I really thought that speech would seal things up for her. Come to find out, people are OK with a racist running a campaign. Sigh.

IA, Jane. Honestly, he and his family are inspirational. He's really been an amazing leader and I'm proud to have cast my vote for him. Hmmm I wonder if the MSM will make this the headline / top of the broadcast at 6.30 this evening like they did when he rolled his big orange azz up there the first time. Something tells me they won't. Grrr

True story. As it is now, I've opted for the cheapest coverage HSA "bronze" because I simply can't afford the Silver and Gold options. High deductibles. The next step after this will be the "safety net" plan - it's as bad as it sounds. But you hit the nail on the head IRT the healthy dropping out of the system. It will be one big azz nasty slimy snow ball effect. Lord help us.

FYI y'all. Something is popping on my news feed about Alred bringing forth a woman with allegations against DJT. Not sure if she's tied to the previous, but it seems to be a new accusation. We will see.

I'm one of the whiners I guess. LOL. But you're right, premiums will skyrocket. I've been with my employer for 20 years now, and they only offer one traditional PPO/HMO plan these days, are the premiums are exorbitant. Most everyone now opts for an HSA, and most if us feel that decision is made for us because of the price.

I can barely afford my employer based health insurance now. If they succeed in repealing the ACA, we're screwed.

You're so right. CBS has a new, polished up promo for Trump's inauguration and it's pretty sickening. Talk about normalizing him! They've positioned him as some inspirational change agent.

The MSM double standard is infuriating and now that Trump isn't going to play ball, what the [!@#$%^&*] are they going to do? Despite their kissing his ass, his approval level is the lowest ever. I love it. The MSM have to start being truly unbiased and report the truth about this racist [!@#$%^&*].

True. Just to be clear, outsourcing to India has been going on for at least 17 years now. I think *most* of us know that, but the fact it was thrown into a proTrump ramble, I thought it wouldn't hurt to point it out. In-T-Way...

So very true. A few years ago, my hubby and I were over at our neighbors house having some cocktails with them and their children when the subject of white privilege came up. My neighbors love Duck Dynasty, and their children are in various careers in law enforcement. One is a cop, the other is a lawyer with juvenile justice and another is a corrections officer at the county jail. Long story short, they didn't, or couldn't, admit that white privilege exists, and that it's a very real contributing factor in how the lives of POC. It was disheartening. I no longer spend time with any of them. I know they supported DJT and that was just icing on the cake for me to ghost them. But it gets better. When we first moved here, the same neighbors said that she was surprised at how "conservative" we were, that she thought we would have parties all the time. You know, because we are gay. That's what we do, apparently. FF 10 years, a redneck family moves next door to us. Parties every weekend. Four wheelers up and down the street everyday. Always something going on at that house...and guess what? They are thick as theives with them. Another reason I have nothing to do with them anymore. My apologies for rambling, y'all.

I honestly hope you're right. As much as I can't stand Ryan or Rubio, and I actually have a little respect for McCain, I don't think any of them have much patience for Trump. And they each have their own political ambitions. Trump is a liability to them. Hopefully, that is the case for the majority of republicans. I hold no hope of Democrats gaining a majority in both legislatures, thanks to gerrymandering. The Senate, however, might give us something in 2018.

Watching these two men today was heartwarming. I will miss them. And the next four years will be a complete 180. "Family Values", yea right...
