    Unbelievable and so very sad — in addition to the gross cruelty.

    After 8 years he finally found a way to have his "Putin style" military parade. I hope when the day dawns it pours rain so hard no one can be outside.

    A few months ago, Maine Governor Janet Mills famously told President Trump, “See you in court,” after he threatened to withhold federal nutrition funding over Maine’s support for transgender athletes. Today, Mills can proudly say SHE WON: the USDA has dropped its lawsuit, and Maine’s school meal funding is secure. Her bold stance paid off, ensuring that 170,000 Maine children will keep getting the meals they need, regardless of political pressure from Washington.

    This victory is more than just a legal win-it’s a powerful statement about standing up for marginalized students and refusing to let federal agencies bully states into discriminatory policies. Mills’ unwavering support for trans youth and her willingness to challenge the Trump administration in court show what real leadership looks like when civil rights are on the line.

    With the lawsuit dropped, Maine has set an example for other states facing similar threats. Mills’ win proves that defending equality and due process isn’t just the right thing to do-it can also deliver real, positive results for families and kids across the state. 

    This is what so often happens when you have real truth on your side and are not an old worn out idiotic bully who thinks it easy to intimidate women.

    In the above photo, who really appears deranged? The guy with the mic or the one on the clown suit? Where do they even find such clothing?

    How many times I've had that thought myself. Who designs/produces patterns and or sews those clothes and you know you have to be a bit off to buy them, let along wear them anywhere. That said I've seen a number of these type pictures and the wearers seem proud of themselves.

    What kind of show-off extravert do you have to be to be seen in public. I do admit to the hard core MAGA I'm sure not one eyebrow is raised, but I've never had that kind of 'guts'.

    On a further note I just got done reading a few remarks about Trump. I have not paid a lot of attention to some of it. First, we turned off our HULU (that's a nice money saver) so we no longer get any real 24 hr. news. We are back to just local channel mainly. As well, I have noted that while I tend to stick to very scant sites on the Internet one of my home pages as a small number of items and they are not always real up to date. I do think much of what is there while generally true is almost always worded in ways that would be more honest if it were a little more detailed.

    So, to that end, I do think Trump is losing way more than he is winning Rachel Maddow says of the Trump numbers that they are brutal and I've certainly read that in other left wing outlets. He has she says fallen to 39 % while 59 % now says things are scary as they are so chaotic. It is felt that Trump is harming more than he is helping and I feel that is a fact. He had immigration left working but that number too has fallen and he no longer can claim it. People are just rejecting him and hopefully will continue. The GOP may not say it but I do think there are those who will have to pull away at some point.

    I do think the protests that have been scheduled have made a huge difference. More people seem to be participating. The weather is getting nicer in many places and as Trump keeps up his chaos more people are inspired to join their voices to others. As we get closer to actual elections those who are running will have to decide to cross their fingers and hope or speak out to try and save themselves. Personally, I think the longer they go the more they can forget it. Even were they saying what they really should now, I think Trump has done so much more damage to a party that wasn't getting much traction a lot of the time anyway.

    Imagine your mind as a garden and thoughts as the seeds you plant.  Habitual negative, unhealthy, self-critical thoughts produce the weeds and thistles of depression, discontent, and anxiety in the garden of your mind.  Luckily, the opposite is also true.  Consistently planting positive, healthy, constructive thoughts will yield a crop of beautiful feelings, such as gratitude, love, and joy.

    Exactly. Makes it even more difficult to watch many of the current events from the WH. Hopefully, we can turn that around soon enough.

    They are not so much concealing as avoiding and yes, Trump is so outlandish — it isn't really concealable at all.

    All he does is brag — whether its a real brag or not and it's usually NOT.

    No we don't believe because we generally go to the gas station once a week and even when we don't we pass it. As usual Trump decides what HIS truth is right at the moment he needs you to believe something whether it bears any relation to actuality at all.

    I can feel a bit irritable at times with James Carville, but he is right on above.

    Some people will stay dumb and asleep their whole lives long. What a waste.
