Today has been my “beginning” and “my end of the work time” best evah!
I’ll sing all the way home - thanks TOD :D
And you saved the sweetest for last - Thanks Chips <3
;-)
Congrats GGail!
Congrats Gail :)
Outstanding selection of tweets Chips!!!!
Thank you soooooooo much Sir Bob!
The Chump tweets and that one of Julia Gillard are priceless, Chips!!
I can just imagine PBO’s reaction to Julia’s gesture :D :D :D :D
That’s an older pic of PM Gillard - from before she was PM, I think. She is too awesome!
Not wanting to overlook the obvious …..
…. though, evidently, folk still needed the history lesson.
Thomas Jefferson didn’t seem to have any problem with black women in bed. Like alot of the white slave owners.
As for that speck of white trash (aka Matt Damon) …. as noted at the bottom of the previous thread …. do join in keeping #damonsplaining at the top of the twitter trend hit parade ….
Priceless expression on Effie Brown’s face :)
I think I shall listen to AC/DC on the way home. B/c it’s Monday, motherfuckers!
Thanks for the FP, Cheesy Poof Lady.
:???: Safe travels on the highway to hell
That is crazy cool!!!!
Very nice. I love our President! :)
books are passe. kindle rulez.
kindle is a second class citizen. Books are the king.
No speeding while listening:)
I just came back home to witness the following:
1) MSNBC is showing The Donald live under the banner of “Breaking News”. What is so breaking about this news? I don’t know.
2) The Donald’s speech substance revolves around his polls, the size of the nut jobs that follow him, how the country is going to have many wins, how his opponents are nasty, and blablablah.
It’s incredible.
My experience was similar to yours. I came home turned MSNBC on to find a Donald rally in Dallas on. He had a huge crowd (20,000). Rats! I could not stand the bloviater. Rambling, bragging, repeating, lying, saying what he wants with no challenges from the media. It makes me sick to watch his audience fawn over him. I would hate to see all the good our current president has done be undone and worse by Trump.
I bet Donald Trump has hair on his back.
Just sayin’.
A little flashback:
Great collection of tweets, Chips. Some funny, some illuminating, some tragic. I think we can all sort that out.
some days it seems like not responding to some so-called-liberals’ crap is taking all the mental effort I possess
Dear Brother Dean, why are you even watching Trump speeches? What did you expect? LMAO! :)
Hopefruit, I must confess. I am watching the zillion of nut jobs in the arena salivating at the sight of Trump’s hair and breathing every spit coming from his mouth, not to mention listening with passion to the incoherence of what The Donald wants to pass for a speech… and I am dumbfounded. Every person is the arena and in every rally that this man has held represents a danger to this society.
I couldn’t agree more with you, nochild. Trump is a danger and his ardent followers are too.
Bernie is annoying and will eventually go back to his day job. Now he is filling up the gap left by (D) candidates who don’t inspire enthusiasm.
The actual danger and reason for distress is The Donald.
It’s very dangerous - the MSM seems to think it’s “entertaining.”
I can’t watch. I keep switching to see if they are still covering it. Guess they will go to the bitter end.
On another note and to switch subject off Trump, want to share something that happened last night at our Life Group meeting. (what our church calls our small groups…….we “do life” together.) We were discussing our wishes for having more diversity in our church and wishing we could grow/expand on the east side of Knoxville instead of continuing to go west and therefore, white. One member shared how our history is trying to be covered up. I chimed in and said, “Absolutely. It’s so bad that TX is rewriting their history textbooks and taking out or minimizing slavery, info about our founders, the KKK, MLK, etc.” One guy immediately said, “It’s the Teach for America group that’s doing that. It’s that liberal group that’s doing it and trying to make it seem like it’s the conservatives.” Good Lord almighty! I had to bite my tongue bigtime. Coming home I quickly found two links about the school board, how it voted, lots of info about that meeting and another link about the state SC and how they ruled the school boards could do what each wanted. It was after 11:00 but I sent those two links to three others in the group, pointing out that I am fact-based and I will not tolerate that totally wrong info to go unchallenged.
I read info from the links to my husband on the way home too. When finished, I said that I knew what Dave said was incorrect, but of course, he heard it on Fox News so it’s definitely true and he wouldn’t consider checking it……..just takes it and follows right along. My husband said nothing!! I’m still fume everytime I think about what he threw out there-total LIE! I could find NOTHING about Teach for America and TX schools, curriculum, textbooks, etc. I tried every combination when Googling and nothing came up.
BRAVA Tnmtngirl for setting the record straight! It’s sad how some people thrive on dishonesty.
The networks keep providing Trump with free advertising… and then act surprised by how popular he is. They are making him into a cult hero. Then someone wonders at the disconnect between PBO’s achievements and his popularity?! Look at how the networks have trashed him for years!
NerfyWonka: you just set right down here, next to MP. I have poured your tea, and you shall take time to drink it. Properly! Amazing! Good riddance to T. Eff’ing Abbott. When I was Down Under in 2011, all the women I knew were very much dreading his re-election. They were too right, weren’t they?
*sighs. Chipsticks, your tea is poured as well. Oh! Wait, do I wear glasses? If only I could believe it!
:lol: It’s so rare for me to make a later-in-the-day contribution, I don’t blame you at all, Mighty P!!
I thought it was NW’s post too, until I saw the last tweet than I knew it was yours.
Thanks so much for creating this wonderful community to come to every day.
Clueless Matt Damon and astute George Clooney…no wonder I love him
http://mashable.com/2015/09/14/george-clooney-roles-for-women/#nQ3Nr2tRSkkn
George Clooney has a very simple solution for Hollywood sexism: Just change more male parts into female characters.
As originally written, Our Brand Is Crisis — which just premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival — had a male lead who was based on the actual political strategist James Carville. George Clooney was attached to star in the film — until Sandra Bullock expressed interest in it.
The role was then revamped for Bullock, giving her the type of complex, meaty part that women in Hollywood crave. According to reviews, she delivers a stunning performance — and Clooney thinks more women should be given an opportunity to do the same.
Yet another reason for me to admire George Clooney!!
Yes sir!! :) As IF I needed another reason!
That Matt Damon is an asshole. I love George Clooney more folks like him in Hollywood.
not a huge fan of Bullock (duck!)
However Clooney is correct on this.
LMAO.
Sure, sure, even with no recognizable language usage - gonna do so well. Uh huh. Right you are.
At least #thebern has initials that spell it all out, plain and simple : BS - for simpletons.
All DT has ‘got’: Delerium Tremens. Now, who hasn’t heard of that?
I think this Lego Movie, fake plastic thing looks like Trump… anyone else?
Must be the gapping hole where his mouth should be…..
Yeap! The jar and the hair. But I bet he can make this country great again.
Fantastic selection of tweets, Chips.
Matt Damon and his whitesplaining was just UGH.
He is rightfully being dragged on social media.
I almost punched the screen when I saw it Nerdy, it was so revealing, I would live happily if I never saw his face again.
Posted this on another thread:
How PBO handled him :-)
Changing the scenery…
Well..SOMETHING’S a hoax!
It’s a start…
Is she a Democrat?????
Nevermind, I just saw her tweet that she is a lifelong Dem.
aaand her msm ‘credentials’ have finally arrived.
How is this even possible?
Joy being neutral, I meant.
Yeah, I don’t get it, either.
I think it means she’s waiting for BIDEN, like me :)
Lordy be - we’ve lost the worst PM we ever had & the pollies are drooling - how sad for the wife & family. His wife never comes to Canberra with him & his vestigial virgin daughters (dressed all in white when he won an election) are all grown up and gone. He gets a MASSIVE government pension while telling those on benefit payments that they must cut back - we cannot afford to pay them. Hope he self deports back to the UK.
He is such a wimp he still hasn’t spoken to the press since losing his job. How sad, too bad
I posted a tweet this morning that said he is a few days shy of being eligible for a pension. Not sure if it true…..
Hi Meta
There is an extra entitlement - over an above the usual lurks and perks - which he is apparently entitled to after serving 2 years as PM. He is 4 days short. The basic entitlement is still there & it is a pension over $300,000 - he has been in parliament for over 20 years. About 8 years ago the rules were changed - but only for new members - the rest still get to live in luxury at the expense of the people.
And the extra - no doubt the new PM & his “team” will change the rules - so they won’t feel so bad about kicking the fool down the track.
And still no-one has seen Abbott today - I think he has to resign before the new PM can be sworn in - but I could be wrong. Would be typical Abbott to hide away. Hope PBO gets to meet Turnbull - might restore a little faith in Oz.
Ah, I see. Wow, that is ridiculous. PBO’s salary is only $400,000! Clinton changed it from $200,000.
Sorry Meta - had to go out - Oz PM gets a salary over $500k - just ridiculous - the pension is based on 75% - or something like that
And I had completely forgotten - Abbott only won by 1 vote when he ousted Turnbull in 2009 - and it was because of the Carbon Tax which Turnbull supported. Then again - both of them live in millionaire Sydney suburbs representing the 1% every which way what way. Still - good to see the end of the religious right and their attempts to add religion to government.
I also found it very insulting when I unsubscribed to the Bernie emails, to be met with a huge page accusing me of supporting the Koch brothers. What kind of s$$$ is that???
They certainly are hypocrites, aren’t they! Ugh.
#whereistony hehehe
Certainly odd!
He eventually turned up - must have been weeping because the country didn’t want him. I am so past hearing the dudes saying how wonderful he was. His legacy will be a puff of smoke - gone with the wind.
oi, you stole a tweet or two from ut just to post that martial’s goal, didntja?

Hope that sheriff goes to prison but considering the government protects him so much I’m left wondering if our government is just naive or just that corrupt.
You have no idea what a corrupt pos this guy is…I wish so badly that he would spend the rest of his life behind bars…wearing the pink underwear he humilates others with…and made to eat his rotten green bologna that he thinks is fine to serve everyone else….he needs to go.
it’s teann. so have a bag of salt.
Biden Secretly Meets With Top Obama Bundler During New York Swing.
But fewer than 12 hours after the Colbert interview aired, Biden partook in a meeting that signaled something entirely different. The meeting appeared nowhere on his public schedule. It was held in secret at his hotel in Midtown Manhattan and lasted for more than 90 minutes: a private, one-on-one session with one of the most prominent and powerful fundraising stars in the Democratic firmament—a mega-bundler who happens to be, at least for now, publicly committed to Hillary Clinton.
The bundler in question was Robert Wolf: the former chairman and CEO of UBS Americas, a prodigious buck-raker on behalf of Barack Obama in two successive campaigns, a four-time appointee to economic panels in the Obama administration, and perhaps the only person in the American business community—and certainly the sole Wall Street potentate—with whom Obama during his time in office has developed a deep and genuine friendship. (The two are frequent golf partners, most recently last month on Martha’s Vineyard, where they were part of a foursome with Larry David and White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett’s cousin Cyrus Walker.)
Having picked up scuttlebutt about a possible Biden-Wolf tete-a-tete on Friday, I phoned Wolf over the weekend to see if it was true. Wolf, whom I’ve known since he first backed Obama in early 2007, confirmed that the meeting had taken place. The topics they discussed, Wolf said, ranged from the reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank to the nation’s crumbling infrastructure, a focus of Wolf’s consulting firm, 32 Advisors. When I asked him if Biden had declared definitively that he was running, Wolf said no. Had Biden made a plea for Wolf’s support? Wolf again said no—and pointed out he was supporting Clinton. Had Wolf come away with the impression that Biden was going to run? “If he doesn’t know yet,” Wolf said coyly, “how would I?”

The skies just opened up in my neck of the woods! There is a lake in my front yard and whitecaps on my street…I saw recycle containers (like big trash cans) floating down the middle of the road….YIKES…of course the guys in the pickups have to fly down the completely flooded road going 50mph….
olympic pool, lake. what next? dressage?
:) Ah! Dressage…the Sport of Kings! No. I can barely take care of ME…I can’t have a fancy prancing horse to care for…ain’t happening
How rude of me! Good evening, amk. I hope you have a wonderful day today.
Well, my evening…your wonderful day:)
ge df. Thx. Seeing off sis and niece units today.
Safe travels to them…
So Cal was supposed to get some rain this week….looks like AZ is going to get the El Nino instead of us. What we need more than anything is lots and lots and lots of snow this winter. It is damned humid I can’t stand this weather anymore.
because of the rain we just had…its 75 degrees out now….feels nice. Everything is flooded, but it feels good. I wish you guys get rain soon…but not too much at once…mudslides aren’t good either.
It’s supposed to be in the high to mid 70’s in SoCal tomorrow and 70% chance of rain…cross our fingers.
No worries, DF, it’s just an expensive hoax, maybe even your imagination. Right?
Good evening! Good day, too. Mighty fine day, in fact. This afternoon, my son saw his oncologist for the official results of his recent brain MRI and rest-of-the-body PET Scan, and he is:
C A N C E R F R E E
It’s pretty amazing! Of course, tomorrow he goes to the hospital for another operation relating to his lung removal in June (called an Eloesser Flap, but DO NOT look it up, especially on YouTube! — the surgeon said their nickname for it is “shark bite”) - and has another final fix-up operation a month down the road - but today and tonight have been pretty amazing!
Thanks for all your good thoughts and wishes and prayers. Much, much appreciated!
YAYAYAYAYAYYYYYY, wonderful news, JO’B. Continued good progress for your son.

You should be able to hear me shouting for joy all the way from Seattle, Jacqueline!!!!!! Thank you for sharing the spectacular news. All the best to your son for the operation tomorrow.
I wondered what “that sound” was. Ha!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks, Bob. I’ve told him you’re all pulling for him!
Oh, Jacqueline! That’s wonderful news. Continued good thoughts and prayers for his operation and for his recovery
Great news JoB - much better than changing PMs :)

Well, goodnight, TODville. Son’s dropping by “for a hug” in the morning at oh-dark-thirty, on his way to the hospital, so guess I’d better hit the sack. Sleep well, when you get there.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Sweet dreams jo’b and I am so happy about the good news of your son being cancer free. Praise God and good job to all the TOD prayer warriors.
so glad for you and your son! :)
