Harmless.

And I think a part of their reason for liking Joe has nothing to do with politics. He's a nice, caring, compassionate, empathetic human being.

(59,503 posts)She is conservative, but because she has often personally known people running, her votes do not always reflect that. She personally liked Kerry and was impressed by his kindness to her dad when both worked on the POW MIA issue. Add to that GWB smeared her dad in the 2000 primaries.

(268,985 posts)with the man checking the headlines daily to see if the famous man had croaked. I check DU every single morning as soon as the coffee is brewing and before going for a walk.
don't often cross paths. But when we do, it's always a treat. I check before I'm out of bed, and before I push the coffee buttons, and right after I say to my pup next to me: "Whad'ya think? Is today the day?" Now I will give you the next needed heart.

(6,857 posts)without the racism. At that, FDR wasn't bad, and Eleanor was as woke as it was possible to be at the time and in the circumstances.
We need to recover and strengthen New Deal programs like Social Security - and Medicare Medicaid (not FDR, but in the spirit of the New Deal.) Think we can sell that?
I personally think that some other New Deal programs could benefit us from being brought back. The CCC, for instance, not to build roads and bridges and lavatories, but to build solar and windmill farms. Probably not to clean up superfunds themselves, but to take enough projects off the backs of the EPA so that it would have the resources to do it.
There are several which could beneficially be updated IMHO.

(33,342 posts)Trans fat is considered the worst type of fat you can eat. Unlike other dietary fats, trans fat also called trans-fatty acids raises your "bad" cholesterol and also lowers your "good" cholesterol.
A diet laden with trans fat increases your risk of heart disease, the leading killer of adults. The more trans fat you eat, the greater your risk of heart and blood vessel disease.

I'm not thrilled to nominate a late septuagenarian, either, and we have two in that category.

(1,606 posts)Meghan McCain...pfffft.
I don't know about others, but I have LOST my capacity to laugh. Seriously...I haven't laughed for a few years, folks. it just isn't possible at this time.
Our predicament is no laughing matter, nor should it be taken lightly. We laugh and ridicule at our own peril.
Shit is serious.
That said, mine is merely one opinion among many.
Peace to all... Save the Republic!

(45 posts)The only time she comes full out against Trump is when he insults John. The other times she merely plays indifference, or she subtly defends Trump Her husband is as right wing conservative as they come. And she has family members who work in the administration.

(26,262 posts)Her main goal is to become the (overly made up) face of female conservatives, and professional victims, everywhere. I'd call her more of a poster child for irrationality.
