Like him or not, he is the President elect of the USA. He will be sworn in as POTUS on January 20th.

We need to rally behind him ans support him and his cabinet for the best interest of our great Nation.

If we do not agree with what he, his cabinet or Congress present as executve orders, rules or laws, or pass as such, then we, as Americans need to speak out in a civilized way and let our voices be known.

Today is Veteran's Day. Brave men and women served our Country to protect our freedoms, some giving the ultimate sacrifice for those rights.

Oh, you mean like the Republicans that rallied around Obama?

#notmypresident

Right??!! People have not supported Obama for years. SCOTUS? That seat should not have been vacant into a new administration. And Trump was denying Obama as a true US citizen up until a few months ago. So now the dissenters should support Trump? Nah. Not how it works.

Fun that someone (the "owner") posted this in a Yahoo lapband forum that went defunct a few years. The writer-cartoonist is more hopeful than I. H.L. Mencken was himself at all times.

Here's a message to sign and forward on to the Electoral College:

If for some reason the link doesn't work, go directly to change.org.

I like Scott (Dilbert) Adams take on the elections, which were spot on and surprising to me...http://blog.dilbert.com/post/152955248046/i-answer-your-questions-about-predicting-president

Then I ran across a very interesting book on Trump's win: https://www.amazon.com/MAGA-Mindset-Making-America-Great-ebook/dp/B01M8K6BG8/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1478813437&sr=1-1&keywords=maga+mindset

He gives credit to Trump for taping into four key engines:
1. Appeal to Nationalism
2. Rejection of White guilt
3. Unapologetically masculine
4. Rejection of the Politically Correct culture

In short, Trump ain't a conservative, but he sure tapped into some core values.

But, Trump will be forever demonized in the press:

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
