Thank you Chips for the new post!
I guess he wants a Faux News job like Huck-a-bee and $Palin.
Great speech by both POTUS and VPOTUS
I love how their figures are bathed in light in the background. Great picture of two important men.
Nothing is heeded and worshiped by those on the right than The Green$$Back ;)
TIME TO GIVE THE ‘STINGER’ TO THE HARD RIGHT WINGER…CLAIMING TO BE MEN OF GOD…RESIDING IN THEIR NASTY POD…BACK TO PLYMOUTH ROCK THEY GO…SEEDS OF SEGREGATION THEY SOW…DIVISIVE IS THEIR MIDDLE NAME…AND THEY WILL LOVE YOU LOTS IF THERE IS FINANCIAL GAIN!
Very good, Sue. I’m impressed.
Are there any pics of the Kennedy boys, Patrick & Ted Jr there at today’s event? If they were there, were they sitting with Vicki? I’m limited in my ability to search while at work
Patrick was next to McBomb and Ted Jr was on the other side with PBO
Thanks Linda
INDEED..THERE ARE LOTS OF WHITE PILLOWCASES IN INDIANA!
Congrats, No Child! So far, today is wonderful.
Thanks. My feelings exactly.
Touching…
No words!
In some cases…animals are MORE human than the humans, i.e. the village idiots taking selfies at disaster site in N.Y. and others who KNEW is was creepy but did it anyway.
So sad for the dogs. Hope someone else will feed them or their lives will be very, very bleak. Thanks, NCLB.
Strange cases…
Goodness gracious!
I saw that earlier at TPM and I was flabbergasted. 2 people in KY, in the GOP and were “politicians” committing Suicide for “Jewish Whisper”?
I am lost with words.
When folks say: Stick and stones may break one’s back, but Never Words…..I have always argued that Words were more lethal for Scars may fade, wounds may heal, but with acute memory within most of Us, Words do much damage.
I hope these things are ringing home with those who think their votes don’t count, and they’ll be motivated to vote this next time around. Otherwise, this country [and the world] will be in serious trouble.
For that to happen, theo, the word has to get out and the impact understood. The Indiana stupidity has gotten a lot of coverage, so it’s beginning to be well known around the country. This Ohio trick needs to be more widely publicized.
You’re so right, Jackie!
In Jeopardy, the question would be: Where is Dick Cheney?
By Zeus!
NCLB has both the Au and the Silver :star:
Thanks, Nena.
Welcome back, Chips. I held the post almost all by myself!!!
SO PRECIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
bbl ….
TONS OF SURVIVALIST CRAZY PEOPLE THERE…TRIPLE UP ON YOUR SS PLEASE!
They are probably on administrative leave receiving their salaries or if they are fired they get their full pensions. This has got to stop and the only way this stops is if these people are held financially responsible or the cities/counties are held financially responsible. I am not talking a couple of thousands but in the millions of dollars.

True…True..True….and we have been fighting for full rights as citizens ever since….it took the 19th amendment to allow white women to vote…
During Reconstruction, three amendments to the Constitution were made in an effort to establish equality for black Americans.
The Thirteenth Amendment, adopted in 1865, abolishes slavery or involuntary servitude except in punishment for a crime. The Fourteenth Amendment, adopted in 1868, defines all people born in the United States as citizens, requires due process of law, and requires equal protection to all people. The Fifteenth Amendment, ratified in 1870, prevents the denial of a citizen’s vote based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
and still this was not enough to grant blk folks their full rights as citizens…
so many more laws had to be passed…the VRA, the CRA, Fair Housing Act…and the list goes on and on…….and stilllllllllllllll we battle on…
as Rep Lewis says….
We have to stand up…speak up…speak out!
that’s an odd phrase they use huh? Per Google, walking the plank was a form of punishment thought to have been practiced on special occasion by pirates, mutineers, and other rogue seafarers. For the amusement of the perpetrators (and the psychological torture of the victims), captives were forced to walk off a wooden plank or beam extended over the side of a ship, until falling into the water.
PENCE THE PEANUT IS IN HIDING AND CANCELLED HIS LAW CLASS FOR TONIGHT……THIS IS GOING TO BE SUCH FUN………SPLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!
:D :D Sue
They need to check GWB too. I think he had dementia before being annointed president by SCOTUS and definitely after he choked on that pretzel before Barney woke him up.
You know, it wouldn’t surprise me at all, given all the bumbles and fumbles he made over the years. Could also be a reason behind why he has been so remarkably silent since his departure from office. You never know.
BBL…:)
