"I hope my microphone was on. I hope you could all hear me." So says 16-year old Greta Thunberg to the UK Parliament and the rest of us so-called Adults. What are we doing to her future? According to science: killing it! Truth to Power? Or spitting into the wind? bit.ly/2DsV815

Well, well, well, look what’s back online.
I may not post often, but I greatly appreciate the community and the respite provided.

Reminder: Nothing has changed.

Congress hasn't seen the Report.

The Press hasn't seen the Report.

YOU haven't seen the Report.

You have only TRUMP's word for what's in the Mueller Report. Both the Trump administration AND Mitch McConnell have refused to make the report public, or even make it available to Congress.

Remember this as you read and watch the analysis of the press, the pundits, and the politicians.

Thank you all for your kind words of comfort. CoSo never disappoints. Lifting my spirits…

My little sister, ravaged by metastatic breast cancer, died on the first day of spring. “Watching a peaceful death of a human being reminds us
of a falling star; one of a million lights in a vast sky
that flares up for a brief moment
only to disappear into the endless night forever.” - E.Kubler-Ross.
I will miss my sister for ever. I am grateful her suffering from MBC is finally over. And, I am grateful for CoSo - to know there are caring and wonderful folks offering kindness & hope

@Expecting_Words It's generally my experience that people who like "Uncle Joe" are people who've never actually looked into how sketchy his past is.

I'd like to offer another perspective.

The HUMAN end of the world is most likely coming and probably unavoidable at this point.

I suspect the end of the Anthropocene will see an extinction event somewhere as high as the Cretaceous extinction event, but probably not as high as the Permian extinction.

While this will SUCK for most species alive on earth, for life in the general sense it will just be another day on the beach and a new order will arise.

Evolution has no mercy

Is anyone else sickened by the overt toadying and lying being done by Meadows and Jordan? Or, is it just me? Had to spin off the hearings for a bit. The blatant lies and liars are not testifying, they are on the Freedom Caucus. A Pox On Us All.

I have bee away for several weeks. Life does that to me sometimes. Life IRW can do that. Glad to be back in the friendly CoSo world.

The article makes it clear that the US is no longer a trustworthy partner. Even in a world post-Trump. DJT has removed us from the world stage in two years. Where will we be in 2 more?

Morning thought :

Sometimes your opponent holds opinions that can't be compromised with your own opinions. Slavery, racism, sexism, genocide. While you might agree on some things with your opponents, say mint N chip is better than vanilla, or pineapple is an Abomination on pizza, there are times when compromise and meeting in the middle is not possible.

Don't hate your opponent but neither should you fear opposing them with all the will that you possess!

Hey, if we can prove the current folks in the White House stole the election, can we declare everything they did while in office illegal and press the re-set button?

'ATTENTION JOURNALISTS:

If Trump is secretly en route to visit troops, ask if he will be returning to DC or FL.

The trip will be cover to get to Mar-a-Lago NYE party where tickets were sold guaranteeing access to the president.

He would be using the troops as a distraction.'

All skin colors are lovely, I think.

No need for whitening, tanning, etc.

When people try to say "this is not who I am/who we are", I always nod my head.
Most commonly, they have been caught out behaving like assholes in public.
Here's the bottom line. If every time i see or hear from you, you're behaving like an asshole, guess what? I'm going to conclude that you are...an asshole.
So if you decide, for example, as a career choice, that your public persona is that of an asshole, then I will regard you as an asshole.
You don't like that? Change your behavior.

I see the Dems newly elected are challenging Pelosi's ascension to SOH. I understand, but it's a mistake. I say this as an Independent. Pelosi is a highly capable, experienced and knowledgeable politician. She knows where the landmines are, and where the bodies are buried. GOP hates her, because they fear her. She will drive Trump insane! She is the Dems best chance at navigating the subtleties to come. Too aggressive an approach, or one not complete enough, and Dems ruin themselves for 2020.
