Mooooooooooooorning Mary!!
You always have to have the most ‘o’s, don’t you. #HopelesslyCompetitive :D
Yes I doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, Mary :lol:
Self-awareness is a gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood thing!
:lol: :lol: :lol:
Congrats on 1st-est maryl1. I am hoping it is a great day. Snow has stopped and we and we can dig or cars out and go shopping. LOL.
Congrats and Good Morning maryl1! 😀

Huh.
how is the towel rack doing? #amkscurse
Na, na, na, na, na: still on the wall 🎈
may my curse ‘stick’.
didja see the vardy’ fab goal? why can’t any of your guyz do that?
Good Morning Chips and TOD
This is hilarious! :lol: ;) :lol:
Love it!
toldja. LOOOSAH.
you should read the poutrage from the trumpsters in ppp TL. hilarious.
The trouble with declining Trump numbers is it still leaves us with the even more disgusting Cruz or the little weasel, Rubio. It’s not as if things get better if Trump recedes. The only good outcome would be if Trump’s ego led him to try an independent run. Now that would make me happy.
My deepest concern about Rubio is that he will fool Latinos into voting for him. He would be a disastrous president on an order of magnitude greater that GW Bush.
he is a cuban. latinos hate cubans. especially the ones who want to pull up the ladder behind them.
Amk, If you were on Twitter, excellent comment to tweet!
:)
He’s Cuban which is totally different from Mexican Americans who wants to do everything he can to block immigration.
Michael smerconish just kept saying on cnn that NH is the blueprint for the rest of the nation?
Sure hope he meant just in the republican primary?
Bc that state is not the melting pot of America, so to speak.
Morning, Jovie. I’m sure the people in California would be chortling over that one. New Hampshire? New Hampshire? What’s that?
We in California are chortling JackieG. We’re even chortling that jovie would even post that 😄😄😄
:D :D :D

So so soooooo perfect!
that is cute. lol
Morning everyone!
Morning Df. I wonder if Paul Ryan has ever done a decent and humanitarian thing in his life. Like many Republican politicians, he seems incapable of empathy.
RYAN IS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH CRUZ…AKA…THE FRENCH FRY TEAM!…AND YES…THEY HAVE PLANS…TO TAKE OVER THE GOVERNMENT! EVERYONE KNOWS THAT!…WELCOME TO TRIBULATION WHICH INDEED HAS ALREADY BEGUN AROUND THE WORLD. THERE ISN’T ANYONE ON THIS PLANET WHO IS GOING TO BEAT JESUS………………..PERIOD!
Good Morning Chips, Danny, amk, nclb and incoming TOD’ers. Have a great day. BBL.
Good morning, TOD. Hope this posts. I tried twice on last thread and nope, nothing, nada. Maybe WP was protecting amk since I was telling him “patience.” 😉😉
no, no, your advice came through. :)
Skuzbuckets all the way around, I guess!
Yuck! I’m going to need a brain wash after that. Hope your life is totally Trump supporter free, Df.
Morning jackieg:) Yes….I believe my life to be Trump( or shall we start calling him “Dump” supporter free!)
GM DF.
That bit of news is just about the most disgusting (but not surprising!) thing I’ve read.
Never understood why people make sex videos of themselves… Trump is repellent, but apparently his supporters even more so.
Yuck.
??????
Cannot get anything to post from my iPad. Typing laptop. Grrrrrrrrrr. WP, why do you hate me today?
:) :) :) Worked. Good morning. My other comments were scolding amk for his lack of patience at the end of the last thread. :)
toon of the day.
LOL! Love this. DEFINITELY the toon of the day…maybe even the WEEK! Morning amk….nice cooing face:)
VGM Ms OP.
I understand your shorthand this early in the morning. It scares me. Just sayin’…..VGMcooer
:) now you are one of us. no backsies.
Oh geeze…I don’t know if I should be afraid or thrilled…
ask
the canoookvc.And I was laughing at both your convo …until I reached this part! :/
😃😃😃
Good morning TOD!
Congrats Mary :)
That there looks like a CASH handshake!
YUP!!
Good morning df :)
Morning to you, Bobfr:) Hope this day is glorious for you!
Of considerable concern since this tweet and the one to follow have both been RT’d by our Ambassador to Ukraine ….
As he makes clear ….
Take care everyone. Will try to visit again later today. Updates, as always, in the sidebar as I have time …
#FORWARD
This is terrible news. The situation in Ukraine is so fragile to being with, the country doesn’t need any more blows.
Good morning, TOD!
The Democratic Party makes it devilishly difficult to become a delegate at the convention. First you have to apply through the party and be recommended to the candidate you want to support. Then if, say, Hillary gives you the okay, you have ten days to collect 250 signatures within the congressional district you live in. The signatures enable you to get on the ballot during the primary where you compete with a lot of others hoping to be delegates. Even if you win the primary, your right to go to the convention depends on the proportion of the vote your candidate gets in the primary. The greater your candidate’s victory, the more delegates are assigned to her/him. I have a dear friend who desperately wants to be a Hillary delegate, but she’s practically overwhelmed by the hoops she has to go through.
Thought we were the party that wanted to make it EASIER to vote! I hope your friend perseveres and gets her wish.
DF, not to be biased, but nobody deserves it more. She has always adored Hillary Clinton, but when PBO got the nomination in 2008, she worked virtually24/7 to help get him elected-just totally dedicated to the goal. I so want her to get this chance to see her idol.
mebbe it is an effort to get more people engaged in politics. but then, the whole us election system is pretty much f…ed up.
LOL. Go home to your mama, lil jeb.
Bye, Jebbie. You’re done here. Pathetic…go chase a tumbleweed or something.
:D. the jackass might fall flat on his ass doing that.
He’s already on his ass. Won’t matter much
What a sad, sad sack Jeb is. You could almost feel sorry for him if he wasn’t such a complete jackass who wreaked nothing but misery in Florida.
I don’t feel a speck of sorry for the entire war criminals clan. The nerve of that fecker to even consider running for office after all his corrupt criminal brother did to the entire world just 8 years back.
LOL! 😂
Good morning TOD folks!

Heeeeeeeeya Chips!!

I SEE ALL THE RUBIO THINGS…HOWEVER I JUDGE A MAN BY HIS LACK OF FEAR IN MENTIONING GOD…GOD ALSO EQUIPS THOSE HE CHOOSES. PRESIDENT OBAMA IS EQUIPPED FOR A REASON…WE NEED FAITH AND TRUST IN GOD IN THIS COUNTRY BECAUSE IT’S GOD’S CALL AND NOT OURS. I WILL VOTE FOR HILLARY TO KEEP PBO’S AGENDA..AND FOR NO OTHER REASON. I DO NOT CARE FOR HER AND FRANKLY THEY HAD BETTER CHOICES FOR THE CANDIDATE ROSTER.
Rubio trying to act/sound like PBO is like a little girl trying to be like mommy in her mom’s shoes and lipstick. It’s funny when you’re five years old; it’s pathetic when you’re Marco Rubio.
All of this.
Good morning jackie, I hope you tweet your on-point statement about that unprincipled dimwit Marco Rubio (a.k.a. Bubble Boy).
THISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!
The guy is just nutz.
This is good, though, AMK. I want Trump to get angry enough to go out on his own to show the party who”s boss.
But the fact is all of the polls just before the caucus had this nut leading by 7 to 10 points. Now he says all of those polls are wrong. I think he is really insane.
Morning, SW. I wonder how long it would take anyone to notice that Rand Paul was no longer in the race. He hardly seemed to be in it when he was “in it.”
Only during the debates did he seem to stand out.
He’s having to defend his Senate seat isn’t he?
“Republicans fret about Paul’s Senate seat”
Some D.C. and Kentucky Republicans want Paul to end his presidential campaign and focus on his 2016 Senate reelection.

BYE…DON’T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU IN THE…………………..FILL IN THE BLANK!
Another scary person leaves the race. Thank goodness. To be honest no one in the GOP race isn’t scary.
True…they’re all scary.
aaand aqua buddha drops out.

G’morning Chips and TOD!! Happy Wednesday everyone :) I see that Rand Paul has suspended his campaign. Perhaps Jeb should take a hint?
and that’s how kids, that the time became a laughing stock.
South Carolina
IT’S A SHAME THAT HE DIDN’T RUN..I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE SEEN THAT!
Sue, yes. I would have liked to see it as well. Lots of talent in the pool.
