Was this news of Mueller's grand jury a way to keep Trump from stopping

The special council? Senate is going on recess tonight. Was this leaked to keep Trump from firing Sessions and doing a recess appointment?

Update on the babies/some advice too.

So as some of you have been following. I have 3 kitty furbabies. Actual Litter Brothers Brooklyn and Manhattan and (adopted) sister Mollie.

So Mollie and Manny are still doing the hissing and swatting at each other.

Here is the Thing. Manny is up in the main portions of the house a lot more. Sleeping in beds (kitty beds and cubbies) He is letting me pet him a whole lot more In FACT today he laid on the couch beside me and allowed me to pet him and he started to need me.


Now the issue is Brooklyn. He does come up and eat. He will explore when I am home and he will only explore when Hubby is sleeping or at the other end of the house. BUT he won't stay upstairs. He is running to the safe place under the steps. Now ( past week) he is actually meowing this awful meow where I thought he was hurt. He was he is trying to get Manny downstairs.

Brook is getting braver he actually jumped up onto the bed while I was on it and explored hubby's nightstand before jumping off.

We still can't touch Brooklyn and I don't know how we are going to get him to a vet. They are all about due for yearly exam. We also notice that sometimes Brooklyn isn't coving his poo and he is always going in the corner of the box.

I like to think he is happy. He plays with Manny. They rough house like crazy. But he still sleeps downstairs. ( we have ranch style. Make uses part of the basement as a man cave.)

We need single payer health care in this contry NOW (male DU may want to skip this)

LAST WARNING::: I am a female this topic will deal with a female issue. You are welcome to read or reply if you like but I am warning you ....



Okay so I am coming to the end of my cycle/getting ready for the change. I haven't had a full cycle in a 1yr. I may spot here or there nothing big and haven't really needed to by products in a year. my last bag I bought was a year ago. Well 4 days ago I spotted. I put a pad on and usually don't end up having anything in the pad but always to be safe. Well this time it is different I am using pads but no where near what I use to during my cycle. day 2 like that. Night of day 2 I realize I need to start double padding. TODAY I (Now remember I just started a new job a week ago.)am double padded. I go to work (customer service) my job is to sit and deal with customers orders. Right now I am handling web orders and e-mail orders. Once I get into the grove I sit and just start. I don't realize the time and I finally get up use the restroom to find both pads soaked, my underwear and my pants. I am mortified. I go back to my desk after cleaning myself as best as I could and changing the pads. I begin thinking maybe I can make it through the day because this is my second week and they got strict policies about missing work. and I want to make a good impression. I go to my supervisor who understand (she has been through it herself) and lets me go. I want go to the hospital. Need to figure out what is happening.

Go home quickly clean up change pre clean my pants (hope they are not ruin) Go to the hospital. Do pelvic exam. do ultra sound had hardest time taking blood but do. I am there for 3 hours to find Everything is healthy...okay good. Doctor is shocked (because they checked blood sugar Cholesterol and made sure I wasn't anemic. Fat people know that look of surprise ( and somewhat disappointment.) when a doctor has to tell a fat person their blood sugar is normal. Sorry I'm fucking fat I have been on every diet since my mom put me on my first one at 6 years old. Yeah, I will be the first to say I need to look weight BUT this is who I am. I am not going to get a freaking surgery when I know people who have died from it. You are born dying. I rather enjoy life.

anyways sorry. I am hoping they might give me something to slow the rate or stop this because I need to go back to work so I don't lose my job. NO she doesn't want to do that. wants me to see the obgyn in a week. Yeah, right. Last time I had this issue 2 years ago. I couldn't get in for 45 days on an emergency appointment. She wanted to run test after test and each time there was a co-pay each time I went for the results. I was going through a package of 1/2 week. double padding 4 to 5 times a day. finally gave me something to regulate it. but kept wanting to run test. Finally my husband is like either they treat you and resolve this issue or don't go back. (35 dollar every 2 weeks for the co-pay can get stressful)

Well, Today I don't even have my discharge papers yet and they want me to pay the fucking co-pay right there half naked bleeding like a stuff pig.

I am fucking tired of these hospitals become a monopoly in a town where every doctor in that town and part of that network and maybe in your town is different BUT I did have a family doctor 2 years ago but again wanted to make me come 3 to 5 times for a simple issue to make money.

I am tired of being a way of making money and not being treated like a human being who needs healed.
The problem is not just Dems and Republicans it's the whole health industry and fucking doctors who want to by 3 BMWs in a year instead of one. I got sent home with sitting pads and adult diapers.

After listening to Chris Hayes about WAPO story Trump RUssia meeting story

Okay. Forgive me I am on my tablet. So can't do links. Chris had breaking story that Trump himself said the story about Jr's meeting was about adoption PROVES once and for all -TO ME that Trump is a Traitor and committed treason. He knew Russia was helping him win the election. He knows exactly what is going on. There is no more "oh he is a buffoon who didn't know he was being used" crap.

I also am hesitant to mention this on this board

but a few months ago I saw a piece by Greg Palast showing there was issues with voting machines.

I am slowly coming to the view that Russia did more than The Government is letting on I believe the meeting in July laid out EVERYTHING that Russia had it's hand into. I also firmly believe McConnell-who threaten to make a cry of partisan politics (or worse) if this info was made public tying the Department democrats hands and especially Obama. I can see if Obama did make an address to the nation about this issue you would have had Faux news saying he doesn't want to give up power a n d Alex Jones and all those nuts would have cause a higher level of violence and intimidation we saw on election if not worse.

We right now have a 1/3rd to 1/2 oh the GOP trying to attempt a Coup of authoritarian power grab and the only thing REALLY keeping that from happening now is the citizens, Democrats and some GOP like McCain who may not have our views BUT loves this country to work with us to stop all this.

Call me a nut case but these are my thoughts

Can't do a poll But how long does the Mooch work in the White House?

Will Kelly send Anthony Scaramucci this week or will it take Longer. Who has the ear of Trump?


My thinking is that Scaramucci is too much like Trump to lose Trump's interests. I hope Kelly is a voice of sanity in the White House.

Last Week tonight with John Oliver is on.

He had a good point he made about how much news is made in a week with this administration. Monday's news felt like a month ago.

I saw the Video of McCain casting his vote.

Have to wonder what Pence and Trump said to him. He looked like he was mad as hell. Anyone else notice that?

Questions about John Kelly

I am just hearing all this information. So I am trying to get info.

Is Kelly part of the Joint Chiefs of staff is he doing both jobs?

Also am I paranoid but is anyone else nervous about this only because I remember reading that Trump is giving military final say and not overseeing their actions like every other President.

White House watch today

Woke up to this text from my friend this morning
She wrote with Republicans failing to pass repeal/replace she said watch the White House Today. She said he is going to stew and watch the news all day he is going to lash out. This I know. But she seems to think He will do something like fire Sessions or Tom Price (even though he didn't have anything to do with this.)
