Happy Sunday!
OMG! Wish I was there dancing right along with our Forever POTUS44 and FLOTUS44.
Congrats, NoChild, and bless your heart for the inspiration and fun, Nerdy!
Good Morning all.
Good Sunday morning everyone:)

Congrats, NCLB on your solid Au ⭐ Furst
Hello, TODbots.
Happy Sunday, everyone.
I’m pretty sure there are more. Waaaay more.
Florida people…this is for you:)
For all of us!
great job Mr. James!!!
Hello all.
This needs to be repeated non-stop until the midterms and the 2020 GE unless Mr Mueller deals with YKW before:
When I 1st saw her name trending, I was honestly worried that she might have left Us.
But I checked, and she was saying what many of Us would have said, had we been asked.
Thank you, all is well now.
Glad to hear Rep. Lewis is from the hospital.
..We can only pray that God keeps her in good health
Thread. Call your MoC and demand NO VOTE UNTIL AFTER ELECTION
But this is who Tapper has always been when it come to President Obama
tappercrapper can fuck himself: http://pleasecutthecrap.com/obama-accomplishments/

Of course, Jakie blocked me once, but I got a new account (thanks to twitter), so he was accessible one more time.
Fantastic.
Take Tapper will Never have known
Must read and share

Thank you, Desertflower. Love Jim Wright. I don’t think I got a notification email on this one yet. Shared on Facebook.
Very welcome, sjterrid:)
And there is no power more absolute, or more corrupting, than a government who declares itself the arbiter of human worth.@Stonekettle
hello
Hi AnnieB, what’s up?
😉 I confess this pic of Judge Ruth motivated me to do a few minutes of planking this morning. {Thanks for sharing Sheila. I always need motivation to resume my once/twice a week exercise. :D)
🙂
Love all the great AGs all around the country, who are NOT letting down the people in their states. Too bad it’s not all 50. Heroes!
Just watched All the President’s Men on MSNBC, and I hope it drew a large audience across the country. Although many of us lived through THAT awful mess real-time, too, I’d give anything to live through the “guilty as charged” and the “I resign” parts during the fiasco that is today’s administration, including the part played so wrongly by that orange blob who’s more or less sleeping tonight in what he calls “a dump.”
I was watching All The Presidents Men too. It seems so close to our present day mess. It turned out okay in the end so gives me hope although the GOP then seemed to care about the citizens and constitution.
Yes, different world back then, but I’m with you on the HOPE part for ending the present day mess!
I watched it too. I remember living thru that and not really understanding what was going on. Now it’s Mueller’s Men.
Perfect! And, I’m hoping, Mueller’s Women! 🙂
I like your title better. I do believe we the women will win!
Yes!
I’m a little late getting back here tonight, so I’m guessing you all know this already. But what great news:
Good news! Stay with us, pls stay with us extraordinary John Lewis.
Yes. Please!
GM TOD….
i pray that none of the children that have been separated from their parents end up here….but if we do not know who they are and where they are …how will we hold the Trump Administration accountable….
From the beginning I felt the children were being stolen by trump to sell to putin, or worse. Especially when the young girls were taken, was it to New York?
😦
THIS
Only because the great-white-father is giving them “free stuff” that when PBO was helping people “buy” insurance to save lives that was deplorable.
UGH, these jerks. Our country is in total destruction mode from Trump and GOP and they just have to blame PBO.
FTR…
This is who Tapper and WHPC has always been …from the very beginning of President Obama’s time in office…
He is witnessing the “Decline” of the WHPC while he does not say a word about the poisonous crap that comes out of the WH. Wonder what he will say about the precipitous decline of the Republican party thanks the WH occupant?
Tapper was predictably nasty as Hell towards PBO and Dems in the WHPress. PBO saved the Economy which is still going well because of him. Meanwhile Tapper is still a Republican spinning moral equivalency. While he was desperately nitpicking, where were his solutions for 8/10 years of TOTAL KOCH/GOP OBSTRUCTION. How would HE have dealt with the Anti-Government, Autocracy, Only Plutocrats’ Lives Matter, GOP media and Putin party?
UH HUH
UH HUH
NEW: Giuliani just moved the goal posts in 2 big ways on Fox & CNN :1. He’s no longer claiming Trump didn’t collude with Russia. He’s claiming “collusion is not a crime.” 2. He’s not saying Trump did not know abt 2016 Russia mtg in advance. He’s saying Trump did not ATTEND it.— Christina Wilkie (@christinawilkie) July 30, 2025
The Trump-apologist and lovers have always said collusion is not a crime but Trump knowing about the meeting with Russians in 2016 in advance, not a crime is definitely moving the goal post. Next it will be legal to have foreign money contributions in our elections.
Obviously there are bigger things going on, but one of the least discussed losses of Trumpism is a First Family that is capable of love and joy.
There was something healing and inspiring about watching that every day for 8 years.
It was good for the soul. pic.twitter.com/GnsxoBdjhd

Jake Tapper seem to have some problem with President Obama dancing at Beyonce-Jay-Z concert, he seem to be blaming Obama for the terrible shape the Democrats is in, how dare he be out there living his life.
Jeff Sessions is hosting a politicized “Religious Liberty” Summit” at DOJ headquarters Monday that leans almost entirely on the Christian right. It’s backed by ADF (the gay wedding cake group) and one of DOJ officials speaking is Kerri Kupec, who used to be ADF spokesperson. pic.twitter.com/4KS9WSf6kM— Dominic Holden (@dominicholden) July 27, 2025
Fucking CNN dance police. Just ignore them.

G’Morning TODbots.
On a Manic Monday, The GOP are moving the Goalposts on Conspiracy To Collude and on Trump Okaying for the June 2016 meeting with the Russians. Color me surprised. They are so predictable. And of course their supporters will be booked 24/ on Cable Gaslighting Citizens to continue to accept Liars and their Corruptions, illegal election activities as the Norms.
It’s on Us, if in Nov these Wicked Corrupt unAmericans are not soundly defeated for the control of Congress and the Control of Many Local Seats in the 50 States.
Our tax $ hard at work. Fraud.
Probably working on ways to get rid of Ron Rosenstein and Mueller as well……
EXACTLY!
RIP, Ron Dellums.
https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/07/30/report-former-oakland-mayor-congressman-ron-dellum-dies/amp/
I did not know much about Ron Dellums until long after he retired US politics or so I thought he left it. With the whole Dana Rohrbach Russian connections, it was brought out the fact that Mr Dellums campaigned to reverse the Magnitsky Act. He was lobbying for the Russians and worked with the lawyer caught up in the Trump-Russian scandal.
Guiliani may’ve just admitted Trump colluded with Russia:
thehill.com/homenews/administration/399461-giuliani-collusion-is-not-a-crime
He said: “Collusion is not a crime”.
Pretty much….which is why I never felt the urge to join in the mess in the first place.
PS, John Oliver is a gem
-yes superb. But how is Zuckerkovya still walking around?
have no fucking idea. Billionaires get a free pass, I suspect….and it helps if you do the bidding of a corrupt and fraudulently installed president
I sent Tapper an email and voice my opinion about his B.S. tweet.
Judge Sabraw has ordered detailed info on parents of kidnapped migrant children held in Trump jails. He said “The government is at fault
for losing several hundred parents in the process and that’s where we have to go next”.
https://www.dailykos.com/…/-Judge-orders-Trump-admin-to-hand-over-information-.
-wow what a concept.
I love that judge.
Thank you, wonderful way to start the day!
Go Beto, GO!
Pretty sure he meant Hitler.
This is wonderful!!
Totally wonderful!
Now that was a shock to my system.
KOCH is behind all the TRUMP atrocities but wants to protect the Republican brand.
Time for the Koch-Putin crime family to be exposed and taken down.
Also saw a clip where it says Koch wants to “help Democrats” now.
No, thanks. We’re not falling for your rotten, evil b.s.
No they don’t! Don’t trust anything the Koch-roaches say. They got their tax cuts and that’s all that matters. Can’t have it both ways.
Exactly!
Koch-roaches are NOT funding Republican-lite candidate that might benefit a real Democrat…got it.
“Here’s How Mueller Can Track The “Dirty Rubles” From Russia To Trump.”
https://www.alternet.org/…/heres-how-mueller-can-track-dirty-rubles-russia-trump
“The truth is, the guy’s been MOBBED UP for decades, with ties to both La Cosa Nostra and Russian organized crime. Trump is a money launderer for the latter, and has been for quite some time. “Money laundering” sounds cute, like something Danny Ocean and his merry men do, but it’s a euphemism for something unspeakable. The Russian mob has become so vast and successful because it eagerly participates in the worst of the worst:
Human trafficking, child pornography, sex slavery, opioids, illegal arms deals, blood diamonds — all the grisly, awful stuff that Trump accuses MS-13 of doing. By taking those dirty rubles and making them legitimate, Trump is a party to all of that.”
-Pls don’t miss this.
Off for a siesta with the sunshine coming through the windows - Ha! - but thought I’d share one tweet and wish y’all a good Monday!
P.S.
correction: Trumputin is the laughing stock of the fucking galaxy.
Makes the rest of us want to find a new galaxy! 🙂

I have to do a team building exercise at work on Thursday, it’s for the CEO and upper management. Oh and it can’t last more than ten minutes. Of course I haven’t even mentally prepared myself nor have I come up with an idea, why haven’t I you asked? Because I’m a procrastinator. But for some reason I operate best when I’m under pressure. So come Wednesday evening I’ll gather my thoughts and figure out a proper presentation.
Of course you will, Mr. Don. Have great faith in you. And it will be stellar, no doubt. 🙂
Sounds like me 😀
Well, well…….
i love these random videos of PBO
So cute….Joe said, “get one of those for the boss too”.
