What’s a minute or two between friends? Now, move.
Okay Friend…..but how? Only bts have that ability……Now, move Neena ;)
OK. I was about to close the computer for the night but first i’ll read the tweets you provided, Nerdy.
Thank you in advance.
Good night, TOD
It always happens that way, Vicki. Just when I think I’m done for the day, Nerdy brings it on and I get hooked way past the time I should be saying goodnight.

donna, can’t wait to hear what Huckabee, Jeb, Walker and Cruz have to say.
probably the democrats fault.
Excellent Idea.
This scum as Montel Williams called this Child and Incest Molester is an accurate description.

“…Hawaii is on its way to having the greenest grid in the nation. The state legislature sent a bill to the governor’s desk this week that moves the renewable portfolio standard (RPS) up to 100 percent by 2045 — which means that all electricity provided by the electric companies will have to come from renewable sources like solar and wind. Nationwide, electricity generation makes up about a third of all carbon emissions.
“We’ll now be the most populated set of islands in the world with an independent grid to establish a 100 percent renewable electricity goal,” State Senator Mike Gabbard (D) told ThinkProgress in an email. “Through this process of transformation we can be the model that other states and even nations follow. And we’ll achieve the biggest energy turnaround in the country, going from 90 percent dependence on fossil fuels to 100 percent clean energy….conitnued”

Not to be “that guy”, but when it’s vowels it’s called “assonance”.
You’re welcome.
You’re evil.
More evil: assonance is when it’s vowels, consonance when it’s consonants. Alliteration is the catch-all phrase.

Oh, ty Chips. You made me laugh.

Um, this article has a photo of Bill Clinton hanging out with the Duggars, too. UGH.
Oh FFS, what was he doing hanging out with that freak show???
I’m completely grossed out.
Jesus, spent the last hour tweeting pics of that monster with GOPers, and now this. Bill, you ****ing twat!
Didn’t Mama Bush mention something about Bill sharing a bed with one of the Bushes? He pals around with the craziest people. Seriously.
c’s are all about bad judgement calls.
A fantastic tweety collection, thank yoooooooou Nerdyaroo!
:)
OMG howling!!
Thanks for the God jokes, Nerdy. Needed a laugh.
I’m on Montel-level outrage over Duggar. That filth pretends to be better than me, better than my gay friends, and he’s the lowest of the low, raping his sisters. And then he has the gall to release a statement saying that God forgave him. Fucking vile piece of excrement.
You’re welcome, LL.
I felt physically sick after reading what he had done. The horror that he visited upon innocent girls. May he rot in hell.
:lol:
OMG REaallly howling here now!

Beautiful speech. He is a treasure.

MP - shoulder is frozen, lesion on left ulnar nerve, neuropathy in left hand, milder in right. Arthritis and bone spurs in all joints (ouch) had a cortisone shot into left shoulder, we shall see if it helps. Big old towel wrapped around left arm for sleeping, and please, please, please, I so need some unbroken sleep tonight, or I shall become permanently stupid. Can’t have that. Turning in early, I am beyond weary. Quiet day ahead tomorrow. {{{{{ TOD <3 }}}}}
{{{{{MP}}}}} Sweet Dreams. Hope the Dr. gave you lots of drugs to ease the pain, plus it should help you sleep through an earthquake. :)
{{MP}}, keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. I hope the cortisone shot helps, and you can get some sleep.
Sending love for healing, MightyPamela!
Oh, MP, I’m so sorry you’re in pain. Hope the cortisone shot helps and may your neighbors quiet down for the night.
Sending you healing thoughts, MP. You will get through this. TOD loves you.
Wonderful collage of information Nerdy, you give us such a variety of good news and just plain old fashion news reporting. I am disgusted of the news about the Duggars, my how the mighty have fallen. I don’t know if it were his own sisters, it sounded like these young girls were outside his family from what I read. He was a minor when this happened but the problem is he really did not get adequate help especially when the authority they did report it to is in jail for porn. Now that this has come out and Josh feels in is uneducated opinion that sexual abuse causes homosexuality if he got married so he no one would think he was a child molester. I wonder if TLC knew about this all this time since the show started in 2008 and all this was going on. They should have canceled this show a long time ago.
I Googled it, he did molest four of his own sister…..so that means he molested the two that were just married.
I thought I read there were girls outside of his family, too. In any event, it’s tragic.
I also read there were girls outside his family he molested but Google mentioned four of his sisters.
So sad. Those are girls who are supposedly only allowed on teenage dates (and I think until married), if they are chaperoned. Counseling would also have been in order for THE SISTERS, not just him. (And why do I think that somehow the sisters were told by the parents, in an effort to sweep it under the rug, “Boys will be boys.” Hope not, but wouldn’t be surprised.)
Maybe, he will be the necessary ‘White’ voice …
#TruthAndReconciliation is a WHITE Responsibility, a WHITE Chore, a WHITE task …. PERIOD.
hello bob…i understand your passion around this…but i must say that this is not an issue that i trust white folks to lead…i believe that it has to be a dual effort between white folks and folks of color…because a lot of people do not know what they do not know…
I hope everyone here enjoys the Memorial Day Weekend!
When TLC first paraded out that family as a model of goodness, I never bought their propaganda. I always felt that one day we would be hearing something very nasty coming from that Duggar family. It was just a matter of time. Let’s be honest, when you have 19 kids, you’re not about raising a family, you’re about breeding children for your purposes. And I won’t be surprised if there are more skeletons to be dug…it’s just that Josh is the one who for the moment has admitted to the disgusting acts…
Agree. I posted this on the previous thread:
This shows what can happen when a “conservative” family literally “sells” itself to the public as a role model for others, encourages everybody who watches to buy what they’re hawking, but hides all dark family secrets while condemning others for their so-called “sins.” Once outed themselves, they use God to forgive themselves, but continue to call out others – and in his case, specifically, LGBT people – for eternal damnation. Total hypocrites. And creepy.
Very well-said JO’B!
Thanks so much.
:D :D
bbl … sup (as amk would say) …..
Damn! ….wonder what kind of mood he is going to be in over the next…?
This is some Dubai man-made Palm Tree island next level type of ish
The Duggar-in-a-photo part of the story is awful, but otherwise this writer nails everything Republican in a very humorous way.
Gooooood Morning and Happy Friday!!!
