Good Afternoon, Judith. Congrats on first.
Sending positive energy and thoughts your way along with the belief that everything will turn out fine.
{{{{{Judith}}}}}
Hi Judith! Sent you a note at the top of the previous thread. Thinking of you. Hoping for the absolute best outcome for you. š
Good Friday morning TOD! Wonder what breaking news will fall today. Just canāt keep up with it all.
Congratulations Judith on first. Sending you lots of love!
Thanks, Mtmarilyn!
Good West Coast morning NW & TOD family.
Congrats Judith on First! and may I add my prayers and strength to you as you wait on your test results. Weāre here for you to lean on š
Thanks, Gail!
Good Morning TOD Family! Another day in Aliceās/Americaās Disaster-Land. We WILL recover from this one day I just donāt think many of us will see it fully recover unless we see a REAL change in people waking up to the disaster that is the GOP. Until we get rid of GOP governors, SoSās who control our elections, representatives and senators that work only for the rich.
Special {{{Hugs}}} to desertflower and her precious Sadie who crossed over the rainbow bridge. Sadie was with you for a short time but she gave as much love as she received from you & entire family. Your TOD family sends you much love and support for your loss.
Thank you, jojo…much appreciated
DF, I was so shocked to read that Sassy Sadie has returned to heaven. She was with us briefly, but brought so much love and laughter while she was here on Earth.
Thank you for sharing her with us. I grieve with you. š
All this and more. Hugs and kisses, df!
Thank you, my friend. Such a sad week. Sheās ok now..I know I made the right choice, but damn. Hurt our hearts.
(((Hugs)))
So what is this about??
The accuser is apparently a Trump-supporting gun lover, so maybe olā slimy Stone couldnāt keep his mouth shut about the upcoming hit job on Franken.
Gary Cohn: Trickle-down is good for the economy
So what do Trump and his team mean when they use the phrase? As we discussed last week, Gary Cohn, the director of the National Economic Council at Trumpās White House, shed some light on the subject when he sat down with CNBCās John Harwood.
Muthaphuckas,
Social Security, Medicare ARE NOT WELFARE PROGRAMS.
We have no president

Senate GOP pushes tax hike on families making less than $75,000
11/17/17 10:00 AMāUPDATED 11/17/17 10:17 AM
By Steve Benen
…………………………….
Itās worth emphasizing that the Joint Committee on Taxation is basically the Congressional Budget Office for tax bills. This isnāt a think tank or an advocacy organization; this is the congressional office responsible for scrutinizing tax bills for federal lawmakers.
And right now, that scrutiny is telling senators that the current Republican legislation would raise taxes on American households earning less than $75,000. If the GOPās goal is ātax cuts for middle-class families,ā the Senate Republicanās proposal does the exact opposite.
ā„ļø šÆ {{{ DF&Sadie }}} Oh, my darlings, you are so dear to us! šš»š
THE RACHEL MADDOW SHOW 11/16/17
Newly flipped witness may have info on Turkeyās and Mike Flynn
Tom Winter, NBC News investigative reporter, talks with Rachel Maddow about new reporting that Reza Zarrab, a Turkish-Iranian national wanted by Turkey and charged in the U.S. for sanctions violations is talking with prosecutors and may have information about Mike Flynn.
I donāt do the tweeting thingy āŗ… or I would post David Cornās tweet (response) to Don Jrās tweet re:Franken. It was good. If someone here is able to post it (if it hasnāt been posted already) that would be much appreciated.
Are you talking about this one???
The NERVE of these Trump Criminals! They need to keep their Twits muted on this topic.
Yes this is the one … thank you Swbluega.
Youāre welcome
THE RACHEL MADDOW SHOW 11/16/17
Senate asks Kushner for info about ‘Russian backdoor overtureā
Rachel Maddow reports on a letter from the Senate Judiciary Committee to Jared Kushner asking for him to submit a more complete set of documents, including one about a “Russian backdoor overture and dinner invite” - whatever that is!
They are trying to kill American citizens.
THE RACHEL MADDOW SHOW 11/16/17
Inept recovery keeps most of Puerto Rico still with no power
Rachel Maddow repots on the continuing botched recovery effort in Puerto Rico where progress in bringing electricity back is regularly countered by backslides in areas that are supposed to have already been repaired.
The Republican tax bill contains a sneaky break for private jet owners
Bob Bryan
Hereās why: budgetary rules known as statutory paygo (short for pay-as-you-go) call for automatic spending cuts if Congress enacts bills that have the net effect of increasing the deficit by the end of the year.
Republicans are permitted under Senate rules to add no more than $1.5 trillion to the deficit over 10 years through their tax bill. That figure, says Ed Lorenzen of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, means there would be automatic cuts of up to $150 billion a year over a decade.
Say Congress does pass the tax cut before the end of the year, with paygo rules remaining in effect. Medicare alone would be cut by $28 billion next year, the CRFB has estimated, and mandatory funding for student loan administration, agricultural subsidies and customs and border patrol operations would be cut entirely. Customs and border patrol would still get discretionary funding through the congressional budget process, however.
This “post card” tax return filing is another GOP fantasy/lie. The big Corporations KEEP all their loop-wholes and probably MORE! The mega rich will STILL have hoards of CPAās taking 10 months to file their returns that will be many pages long for all the loop-holes that the GOP will give them. We serfs will get a bill: PAY THIS AMOUNT or GO TO DEBTORS PRISON.
TGIF, Finally!
Hello, TOD Global Village!
Congrats, Judith on your Au ā Furst š
Thank you, NW for all You do for Us.

ā¤ always, TODbot Twitter Brigades, Commenters & Lurkers.
Now that the dogs of war are calling for the head of Senator Al Franken I believe it is time to speak up on behalf of all heterosexual males. As a candidate for Governor let me save my opponents some research time. In the last fifty years I was sexually intimate with approximately 50 very attractive females. It ranged from a gorgeous personal secretary to Senator Bob Taft (Senior) who was my first true love and we made passionate love in the hayloft of her parents barn in Gallipolis and ended with a drop dead gorgeous red head who was a senior advisor to Peter Lewis at Progressive Insurance in Cleveland.
Now can we get back to discussing legalizing marijuana and opening the state hospital network to combat the opioid crisis. I am sooooo disappointed by this national feeding frenzy about sexual indiscretions decades ago.
Peace.
////
I see where heās going.
Tallyās piece on Franken was spot on.
RightWingers have had it for Franken since The Air America Days.
I am sensing a Set Up with the Bad Juvenile Picture as interpreted by those who have Agenda & those in the Press who are looking for WhatAboutism.
This is worth a Read.
I listened to Randi Rhoades who worked at Air-America and Clear Channel with AL Franken. The worst she could say about him was he had a bad habit of giving pecks (kiss) on the lips instead of cheeks. She vouched he was NO sexual harasser or came onto the young women or her during the time they worked together. I believe Randi. Sheās NO big fan for or against AL.
I miss Randi.
You can listen to her on YouTube in the afternoon……or buy her Podcast. I bought one last year and renewed it again this year.
People really need to listen to Tweedenās description of the kiss rehearsal.
What is going on here?
Wow! Finally, a conservative who is thoughtful and objective.
Exactly! Tally was spot on.
yowwwwwwwwwwwwwwserssssssss
Oh, oh. Always the conclusion when the beginning starts with “anti-gay republican”.
Ahh. So then sheās probably had an abortion.
Consensual BJ! Monica had designs to have sex with the President from DAY ONE! Ken Starr and the GOP used Monica as a tool to embarrass Bill Clinton in the that Monica was collateral damage was no skin off their nose. The GOP & Ken Starr and poor choices Monica made, damaged life.
The other women that came forward were also used by the GOP to damage Bill Clinton that their stories about his sexual harassment were secondary to just wanting to bring him down. These women continue to be used by the GOP that they just get NO traction. Using THEM to now DAMAGE the wife (HRC) who chose to stick with him was disgusting. That is why Orange Satan will get his due, big time!
So now this is where some are heading, be this vulgar now in the Age of #DotardTrump?
Please pardon me for posting this.
The BIGGEST sexual harassers are in our very own military. Until we clean that up, nothing will change.
You are right. Every woman I know who served in the military has experienced some form of sexual harassment and/or sexual abuse from their male peers or superiors, in some cases, including rape. Every one of them. [Did I mention I come from a military family? Grew up on military bases and worked around them all my life.]
I remember in the early 80ās when the economy of in the toilet, I was thinking of going into the military. One of the guys in my college class told me how women are really abused in the military and told me to rethink it. Glad I did.
One of my cousins (now retired) still suffers from PTSD and it wasnāt due to combat with a foreign enemy.
Poor fella, not even being a pilot and flying a multimillion dollar jet can make him feel adequate.
I would have preferred you used restraint.
Remember to use caution and decorum when posting.
Not everything should be posted on TOD.
1st Amendment out the Window? Yup!
Didnāt see this many stories in 8yr of President Obama where so many Folks had offensive Racist Stickers.
Yep. We did during GWB time. The GOP hates it when you have negative advertisement about THEIR guy. If you canāt get them one way find another.
Damn! As a youngster I remember Jesse telling us that “we” are somebody.
In prison Kushner is going to learn a whole new meaning of “backdoor overture.”
Powerful phrase with a deep meaning.
And Gates is whining about being under house arrest.
I guess if you shit while sitting on a gold toilet, then an elephant trophy is right up your alley.
I guess if you are of a certain privilege, you can dismiss someone that doesnāt need your help. But that is certainly not the case for the millions of Americans that could have used Hillaryās help.
If Trump defecates on everything President Obama has done or Hillary Clinton intended to do it sends a message to the world. Those with white hats are Obama and Clinton and all the disinformation and the abusive policies will forever be attached to Trumpism and the GOP.
Because Jill and Susan are worse then Trump.
Pure evil…ALL the GOP who vote for this hideous legislation.
I couldnāt stop laughing when I read this. Republicans always eventually out themselves like the homophobic Ohio Republican who was spending his evenings discovering the joys of gay sex while spending his days spewing his hateful anti-gay rhetoric. And Roy Moore?
They are going to steal this seat by disenfranchising AAās. Theyāre setting it up.
Moore didnāt cruise the mall for women, he cruised the mall for young girls. And the governor of ‘bama is okay with voting for a man that did this.
Party of the Pedophile!
NY Times - their major role for 25 years has been to hate on Bill Clinton
NY Times need to concentrate on the current resident in the WH who harassed women. What are they going to do, wait 16 yrs from now to focus on the current POS (and I donāt mean President of the United States).

LOVE LOVE LOVE this.
Some good news, thanks meta š
Iām going to enjoy eating oxtails for thanksgiving and knowing that Mueller is fine tuning his indictments for these traitors.
One the most important qualities of President Obama that I admired and respected so much was his integrity.
Reading TOD can be quite depressing. Canāt nobody find any good tweets or articles to post?
I feel bruised and beat up and these are not even stories about me. š³
I really miss Chipsticks, she kept the threads upbeat and funny when a dark cloud appeared.
I canāt handle this day after day, all day.

Kayla Mooreās words demonstrates how uninformed these Moore supporters are. Russia is in the news everyday. They are so hypocritical. I imagine most of those women standing behind that podium today have daughters or granddaughters. They have no compassion. Be careful of folks who talk about religion all the time. Mike Pence is a prime example.
Well said, COS. Agree with your every word.
Go ahead and speak Truth, COS.
