OK

When we had our meetup, I could not wait to meet everyone but I must admit I had anticipated meeting Old Hippie Chic since 2002 where we were big posting buddies on another site. I still have ...

Is the base and grassroots going about this healthcare and all other issues the wrong way? Should we not be demanding that the Senate appoint a new Leader who can do the will of the American people?

Please go to this diary and read. No matter what is happening on the planet today..This bill affects or could possibly affect every single one of us. Today or tomorrow according to the ACLU....and ...

I hate the bickering on the Feel the Bern or Say Hill diaries.  I hate it.   I say that but I must write a post on the optics of this weekend and why it is not a good one in my opinion for Secretary Clinton. I voted for Bernie Sanders and Hillary won...

First of all I am not clairvoyant so this is just a gut feeling and thoughts I have from sheer observations of living in Florida and other deep red states for years and years.   My predicitions are as follows:  Good luck with that Making America Great...

I do not consider myself a poor person but the truth is, I am poor in money. We are like the majority of Kossacks, making it not week to week, or month to month, but day to day. One paycheck of ...

This is what I had to tell a nice neighbor today.   I hated to put it so bluntly but it’s not what we do on Memorial Day.  This family gathers together and some or most of us place flowers or flags or both on memorials and graves for veterans in two...

This is my opinion and may very well get push back but I have never been one to step away from calling out possibilites and to me, the obvious. We have children in cages. We have abuses under this administration We have a man who lies like he...

At 18 and a FNG on a hill in Vietnam ....Strong and..So Naive ! When a soldier comes home from war, many for the most part are a blender of confusion and emotion. The feeling never leaves. ...

First of all this is pretty personal and I don't want it to seem like a pity party. I have not been on here because of some very very serious problems. I mean things that may not happen in decades ...

This has been getting out of hand for some time.   This is past out of hand.   I read this from a Canadian friend of mine and I am outraged.  I am embarrased and think some of these GOPers are indeed a terrorist based bunch.   mainebeacon.com/... ...

I am so angry and even though happy in my location now, it is not in our name due to this theft and maybe this lease purchase will be in our name as soon as we crawl out from this mountain of ...

Twenty six years ago today ...I started my life with the man I will spend the rest of my life with. He is one hell of a guy.   I have many on here to thank for his rescue back in 2012. That whole PTSD episode set off a need for community outreach...

This really seems like a Debbie Downer post and very well may be but it is a realistic question. I hear talk about student loans and lower interest. I see the most outrageous presidential race ...

Well I woke up to a mess. Calls pouring in from veterans on how this firing of Shinseki is not going to help. They are angry at the regional level of VA operations and privatizing is NOT the ...

We picked up another seat and that is good but because the Russians have not put their all into the mix yet but according to Tillerson and keep in mind this is Rex Tillerson, It is too late to stop the Russians from interfering in the midterms”. ...

This is torture. These tactics came straight out of Hell. Jail every single one of these people. This will spread. We knew they were out of hand. We knew they were beating but NOW...after ...

Democrats are the target for the most part but the Russian meddling is to amplify social discord and doing this via media accounts, social media, talking points against Mueller.  Justice Dept bringing first charge against Russian operative.  Names and...

When my kids were young, very young, and tried to get attention or just flat mess up, their excuse was always , "I WAS JOKING'. This line of inappropriate behavior was always the same. The same ...

The hands that rock the cradle rule the world, they say.   They possibly have hands in Russian loyalty and taking America down. We need those IRS files.   Either you are a Russian loyalist or American.   We are about to have a lot of Russians in...

I am reading different things from different sources and CNN is reporting that Speaker Pelosi has invited him to speak.  When did the government reopen?  We know the State of the Union.  It is a mess.    What could he possibly say other than ramble...

I have one of the smartest little girls in my opinion in the world. She overheard me say that I hate that once a month pay day. I hate it with a passion. I was on the phone and scraping my ...

I got this pic out of my yearbook for that year ! Yes she is still alive. I had a teacher named Miss House. She was cruel and a bully. I was always sort of afraid of her. I was not ...

Kavanaugh gets confirmed and as 45 wants..gets on the bench by Oct 1 which is Monday.   He postponed the Rosenstein meeting but if Kavanaugh is confirmed… Fire Rosenstein  and here we are with a compromised Supreme Court.  No subpoena even if...

I did not know quite how to word the headline.   I did not know whether to say, FU non Trump loyalists who live here in America or Forget policies or just Impeach his butt.  He is obstucting, bullying and not honoring his oath of office so one branch...

This is not about me but It is a reminder. This is about the Holiday Season as every day should be regarding humanity. I had gone down to pick up some milk and getting over my annual flu bug ...

Give me your ears, and your eyes and your attendance PLEASE !!! I have a pretty big announcement here.... This is ...

I was reading Chris Reeves post on being poor at Christmas.   It was very touching. www.dailykos.com/...  I got so upset this past week that it pretty much put me in bed after observing some things I have really taken notice of at Chtistmas, here...

Why is it when something can be done and affects so many or just one, people will NOT get involved by exposing the bad. They talk a good game. They have access to or know things others are ...

On MSNBC….. Lawrence O’Donnell reporting Vanity Fair reporter Emily Jane Fox a Vanity Fair Senior Reporter, spoke to Cohen.    He stated he has not spoken to Trump since yesterday.   She reported that the raid happened at around 7:00 AM and about 12...

Was there ever any question?   Nope.   How deep is this well?  Seems that Cohen put this back in the news again. As Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team probes deeper into potential collusion between Trump officials and representatives of the...

I am one who will call out problems. There is just one huge problem with calling out this administration's problems. It was the PREVIOUS administration that created it all ! All of it !!!!!! ...

Take me to your leader?  Well who would that be?   I do not have a clue.   For all I know, it is a 400 lb kid on a bed.   See, I am paying real close attention to Trump’s rhetoric because I believe there is some truth in all of that lying jibberish…....

The man is even more delusional than we thought.  The filings clearly name Donald J Trump as a co conspirator  Individual # 1 in many places as committing a felony.  When he is identified as being instructed to use campaign finances for hush money. ...

No matter how hard Jeb tries to distance himself from his ...

While we spend many hours and days talking about the things this country does in the name of democracy, the UN had a few things to say about us. I wondered how long it would take other nations to ...

I was in the middle of a post when I got the call that Daddy had died. I want to thank OPOL who posted a thread about his death.

This is not much of a post.  Why?  Because I can’t put my finger on what is going on.  We are being distracted on almost every level and I don’t think I am being paranoid.   Trump is a sick man but just as sick are his enablers in the GOP.   We are...

This Smollett thing is bad in Chicago and has made the hate crimes,  ( The real ones) even more dangerous but why not link the two stories together to make people  informed on how dangerous this country has become.    The constant coverage over a so...

As the wife of a veteran and a veterans advocate I know too well how little respect in so many ways a veteran receives. Old men start wars and young men and women fight them. It is so ...

OK, what happens if the wingnuts and Bonehead come tomorrow do not resolve anything? This is a question for the people on fixed incomes? What happens? Light companies, water, landlords, food, ...

There seems to be lot of Primary Colors flaming here lately and mostly RED HOT. We have to beat these Loser Radicals to save the country from ruin ! I want to remind, gently of course the

The Huckabees are such hypocritical people and when Mike Huckabee ( conservative who thinks he can play great Bass guitar) got his tweet smashed by Mark Lindsay from Paul Revere and the Raiders, it made me smile. I am friends with Mark on...

I am one lousy fundraiser so I normally throw my own money in the hat to fund for veteran causes. I cannot do it this month or probably next month. I just can't. The gas prices are through the ...

It takes courage to make a stand and boycotting is not all that effective because it hurts all the wrong ...

Kos wrote a diary today about the Republican candidates trying to be as nuts as Trump but the winner goes to ....drum roll please !!!! Rick Perry...for now. Listen to this ...

I do not recognize this country. I see faces with stress and oppression. I see police looking like Stormtroopers and a 100 bill is more like 10.00 now days. I come to this place to vent and ...
