    Happy Thursday TOD Family!

    I feel I have PTSD with all the chaos swirling around from the damage so many voters and non-voters did by putting this maniac in the WH. I am having problems coping sometimes.

    Sorry for my pity party……

      You’re not alone. What Trump and the @GOP are doing to America is BRUTAL and it’s abusive.

      A morally corrupt and insane person in the WH
      hiring of completely incompetent people to run our government
      constant lies and gas lighting
      a GOP Congress that is neither a check or a balance to the Executive branch
      the threat of nuclear war
      speeches that promote violence
      policies that are detrimental to our health and well being
      policies that are detrimental to our environment
      insults to POC
      total disregard for the 1st amendment
      incessant policy brutality
      looting of the Treasury
      refusal to hold Russia accountable for undermining our democracy
      doing nothing to protect the integrity of our vote
      voter suppression

      I could go on and on and on but this is why we are feeling so battered and bruised. It’s BRUTAL and it’s abusive.

    Some opportunity for Dems to pick up a congressional seat in Ohio as Tiberi chooses to leave Congress early. Yes, this is super gerrymandered district in the surbubs of Columbus Ohio. It is next to my congressional district with many neighborhoods sharing a street but conveniently packed to favor republicans. Winning it would not be very easy but dem victory is possible. Part of this congressional district has immigrant that have settled in. Mine is the very blue congressional district that has OSU and downtown. So we were already working on turning Tiberi’s republican district into a Dem distrct. Wish us luck 😀

      and this is what happens when all the House, Senate and WH are all held by the GOP - incompetence with deadly consequences and a cover-up by Congress to protect their failed GOP administration.

      Karma HAS to come for these assholes sometime soon.

    first the campaign, and now corrupt bigoted reign of the homegrown demagogue, have clarified so much about the hearts of so many people.

    so many people compromised and acting very cowardly …. so much greed and bigotry on display … the core value systems of so many has been revealed and history will marvel at these times;

    If I was not waiting to hear more and see President Obama in action today, I would log off all my media and social network because I am trying very hard not send some harsh words to someone in public office.

    I will paraphrase the words of the United Negro College Fund and say : “Personal Honor, Reputation, and Integrity are Terrible Things To Waste …. especially in defense of the homegrown demagogue who has no empathy and basic character”

    I have come to the conclusion that Gen’l Kelly is a racist, probably did not like having PBO as his CIC, this is my only conclusion after listening to him fall on his sword defending this piece of trash he baby sits. Orange-Shit-Face degraded the people at the FBI office yet the Congresswoman is “selfish” and made him so angry because she made it possible to by getting the appropriations to have the building built in HER district! This is what sickened POS-Gen’l Kelly. That press conference performance sickened me. Now the congresswoman is getting death threats and will probably increase because of POSGK. They are ALL evil.

      Trump debases everything he touches, including the credibility and reputation of anyone who chooses to defend or stand by him.

      Go ahead and SPEAK TRUTH, Charles Blow! No matter how much establishment media, and the so called sane Republicans, may pretend otherwise, John Kelly has neither integrity nor credibility! He is just another of trump’s sycophants with a title of Four Star Marine General. That’s why he had no qualms attacking a black woman, who, by the way, is a duly elected Member of Congress who was speaking on behalf of a grieving widow/mother who is her constituent.

      Wow. That was bad on so many counts. No wonder 45 and company are trying to sweep this under the rug. Who will be held accountable?!?!?!? The whole chain of command *should* be held accountable!!!!

      Benghazi on steroids is right.
