Good, Good Morning, TODbots.
This Post is Golden. I have to agree with Ms. Goldberg. Dems and Progressives turned their backs on Pres Obama. They were loud and some Black Academicians also turned their backs on Mr. Obama.

Many could not see PBO. He was and still is invisible to them. That wasn’t about him though many tried to suggest that. He didn’t sound charismatic enough, he didn’t sound strong enough, his policies didn’t go far enough, etc. It’s still their default, because they turned their backs on the best thing they had had for a long time. Also they don’t give him credit for anything he did though he saved everyone’s well being in countless ways. Hillary had the same potential, to keep going on the changes that needed to be made with integrity and competence. People turned their backs on her and then vilified her for no good reason.
I am making it my mission to work on this. I know people find me a thorn in their side when I constantly bring up PBO or Hillary and I have to pace myself so I don’t start to feel isolated and diminished to the point that I can’t keep going. My assessment of the nature of both people I meet (progressives that is) or groups I try to get involved with (Dem or progressive) is whether they can do two things, acknowledge the betrayal of PBO and Hillary and explain why and name the objectives of the GOP like ethnic cleansing, kleptocratic maneuvers, fascism. I have receipts now.
❤ it, Catrst.
I bring Up PBO and HRC and WJC as often as I could.
The GOP trash our able Politicians.
FDR was the Most Liberal Dem POTUS and He won the WWII. He made US a Super Power & helped set US as The Greatest Economic Engine of the World ever known until the Dotard.
FDR was a great president but many on the right won’t give him credit because he helped the average man and poor people. These same people will throw it away to be a “Russian” instead of an American Patriot…SAD!
Ladies you are right. Something that’s been sticking in my crawl lately is the MSM constant chatter about Dems have no message other than being against Trump. Then every Dem they interview tells them “it’s about Healthcare, wages, education, veterans, etc”. And yes a check on Trump.
I distinctly remember every Republicans running for anything their ads attacked Obama. Even for state elections. The boogey man was always Obama. Correct me if I’m wrong, but; I don’t recall the MSM always pointing that out. Also, when have Republicans ever had a message other than attacking their opponents (Nancy Pelosi, Obama, & Hillary)?
I think the Corporate media is all in with the Republican Party even if it’s Trump. Frankly, I’m getting sick of the daily Trump show with cable news. It’s time to report what’s actually happening in the Administration with less on the tweets.
The Monopoly of #RightWingMedia with 40%+ Control is able to drive the Narrative. The obsession by the #CorpMedia of covering Trump, his Rallies, Tweets and booking off the wall ideological bonkers…..on TV Mainstreaming their wickedly nonsensical diatribes as if #Birtherism, #TeaParty Garbage and Now, #Trumpism are Ideas Majority of Americans crave for. Cablers are the worst on this. They are maintaining their Narrow minded Viewers for rating & click traffic.
Until there is a Morning, Afternoon Show, thriving….dedicated to Liberal Causes, #CorpMedia would chase after Right wing Talking points.
I’ve been thinking about the nature of the stock market. The swings help some people and they relish them, that is if they have prior knowledge of what will make the market swing and when it will right itself. Over and over again since Trump has been in office there have been these sell offs and then, poof, everything goes back to normal. I think, personally, though I am no expert, that they are manipulating to do their kleptocratic thing.
A hard lesson that didn’t need to happen. FOCUS on your own campaign in your own district.
Honestly, this is why you don't go barnstorming when you're not even a Freshman yet. Ocasio-Cortez burned off an awful lot of political capital here, looked like she was bigfooting the caucus, and got nothing for it. This was a bad unforced error on her part. https://t.co/9517SfwLuy
My progressive acquaintances have brought her name up as such a great development. I was fine with her win at first and then realized she was a “justice Democrat” board member and figured she was trouble. It turned out to be true.
Same stock that Former HHS Secretary Tom Price was grilled on during his confirmation hearing. Price owned the stock while writing legislation that could be favorable to the company. https://t.co/yXsqBpuC2O https://t.co/kmgofAsGnN
I am so emotional listening to this. I think this short film describes what it is to be a girl in a man’s world and something we need to name. You go girls.
I just love how strong and confident these girls are! I think the best thing is they are learning to FOCUS. I have two young great nieces and they are so fierce, so willing to try lots of things. Their parents are teachers so they have a great love of books, STEM, sports and the arts. I only hope there is a better world out there for them.

Wondering how much shame the USA can/will accept before there is some actual push-back?
If Omarosa can record conversations with the President of the United States, why is it so far fetched that the Russians would have Kompromat on him? I would suggest it’s almost certain. Supporters have dramatically overestimated the intellectual prowess of this administration.

Add GOP Rep. Collins, arrested today for insider trading, to the list of the indicted, convicted or disgraced that surround the President: Gates, Manafort, Flynn, Pruitt, Jackson, Price, Papadopoulos, Porter…
For a complete list, Twitter will need to expand character limit.

Under our Constitution, the duty of Congress is not to clear the President. The duty of Congress is to be a check and balance on the Executive Branch, and to pursue the facts wherever they may lead.
Devin Nunes should resign for perverting the oath he took. https://t.co/ugc7CBgG39
@DevinNunes had no idea he was being recorded: 1. Admitting that releasing stolen emails from a foreign source is "CRIMINAL." 2. The GOP are planning on Impeaching Rosenstein AFTER the Election. 3. VIOLATING HIS OATH OF OFFICE. 4. WHY they need Kavanaugh. 5. GOP > LAW
3. Everyone AT THE FUNDRAISER who DIDN'T report comments to the @FBI are ALL #Accessories to #ConspiracyAgainstTheUnitedStates & #ObstructionOfJustice.
Since @DevinNunes just admitted the GOP will do ANYTHING to stay in power, how about we use #HandCountedPaperBallots, #ReportingTotalsOnLiveTV, & getting our elections the fuck away from the INTERNET BEFORE THE MIDTERMS?
