I just

subscribed to this group!!!

All the nastiness of the Bernie crowd has made my decision for me. I guess I decided a couple weeks ago but wasn't sure about it until the last couple days. I think the Pope-gate issue did it for me.

So I'm official now.

I thought you already were 'cause I've seen you posting in our Group and Rec our threads.. so I made note of how glad I was that you were a Hillary supporter.. on your other OP here.

How funny you just decided for sure! I know how it goes.. we all decide on our own time table.

Thanks everyone. I do enjoy a lot of your threads and have had no problem helping to support your arguments. I thought, earlier in the game, that I would probably be hiding an equal number of threads from both the BS and the HRC groups but I was waaaaay wrong about that. Already trashed GDP but man, it's getting really crazy for some folks.

I thought elections were a civil matter but the way our society has been acting lately with so much violence and hatred that I am really concerned. I mean, I was out there in the streets when Nixon was in office and I got tear gassed and all that- though never beaten by cops - and I never saw this kind of vitriol, rhetoric, foaming at the mouth anger among the alleged same party. I saw the riots in the 60s but that was different.

Anyway, I feel welcome... Thank You!

I use my last, most awesomest furrylovekitty's name... I really miss her.

I'd post a picture but I'd have to put it in photobucket and all that and it's time to see if I can summon the sleep fairies so come and take me away for a few hours. I have to edit some pictures tomorrow, I'll put one of her up then.

Nytol.

She was a Tortie-point with all the attitude. A guard dog dressed in kitty clothes.



She disappeared in 2004. Still makes me cry.

Look at that face! She is so beautiful, sweet and full of love. Her coloring is incredible. I can see why you miss her and know you must have kissed that spot on her forehead a thousand times. Looking at her makes me remember and miss my long-passed cat so very much, too. They steal our hearts and keep them, don't they?

Thank you for sharing your 2naFishSalit!

-planned and executed in a very short time

-the nature of the visit as opposed to how it was promoted as a trip to see the Pope when he was actually invited to speak at a conference not including the Pope

-that it became a viral political issue... which was the intent as far as I can tell, a stunt

-that the Bernie crowd got all self righteous about their saintly candidate when he was actually duping them

ETA: That campaign $$ were used for this as well as our taxes paying for the Secret Service detail to protect him and his family. (I'm a federal employee sometimes and I know that even GS employees get per diem + travel pay + over, night-overtime + weekend pay and it adds up fast X how many agents?)


And then some... can't articulate my contempt for these games.

You can see I'm a "lightweight" , don't post much, don't express many opinions, but check in every day because it keeps me sane. Plus, it provides informative and intelligent discourse. Thanks to HRC Group, I believe Hillary is going to go all the way to the White House!

I hadn't really ever made the connection before but (I knew there was something familiar about Hillary but couldn't put my finger on it) in that first photo she looks strikingly like my elder sister who passed about nine months ago!!

Wow.

I am okay, I was just kind of surprised how I suddenly recognized it, maybe it was just the way she looks in that picture but probably not. She also reminds me of my sister in her professionalism and style though not personality. my sister didn't have the patience Hillary does.

I'm glad you posted it, it's a great picture of our candidate, wouldn't want you to take it down (but thank you for offering out of consideration).
