Jeff Flake needs to sit his Oky-Dok-Mr-President-A$$ down. If you continue to vote for everything he does then what are you complaining about? Like people will vote for you when you have a failed run against him? NO THANKS!
Thankful for this excellent practical post, and all of them, Nerdy Wonka! Gratitude forever for all you do every single day here on TOD. Loved reading the Birthday Greetlngs for Ms. Chips. Late to the party but filled with love and good wishes to the one and only Chipsticks for creating this precious beautiful sustaining nourishing inspiring place for TOD Family to gather and connect and share and carry on and celebrate and follow our Mighty Hero Forever President Barack Obama. Belated blessings and wishes for health and joy and your favorite cake!
Yes, I saw that on a news feed too. I hope she is alert and resting. My aunt died from pancreatic cancer after only 1 1/2 yrs post surgery. Ms. Franklin is a almost 9 yrs post surgery survivor which is very good. I pray she recovers and this is just a short setback.
Pearl Jam played here in Mitssoula, MT Monday night. I live 2 miles from the stadium where they played, I sat on my porch with my wine slushy and listened to it. Loved it. Bassit Jeff Ament is from Montana and a friend to Senator Jon Tester. They are from the same small town Big Sandy. Pearl Jam raised money for Tester’s campaign. There was 27,000 people at the concert. I don’t know all of their music I just know the Band is very social aware and put their money where there mouth is.
I’m a middle-aged, middle-class, southern white male. Donald Trump does not speak TO me, he does not speak FOR me, he does not CARE about me, and he does not REPRESENT me. I wish he would just take his money, his pettiness and his hatred and get the hell out of my country.
Koneechiwa everyone. ‘Tis half way thru a new day and the world is still rotating on it’s axis. Beyond that our planet is like a faithful pet with an infestation of lice, ticks, & fleas. It’s gonna be up to us to apply the much needed pesticide…#NOMATTERWHOVOTEBLUE.
Thank you Nena. Aside from standard old age issues I’m doing ok. I got sidelined by FB and found some folks I hadn’t seen or talked to in over45 years. I am, however, back with a fresh supply of naughty mats for misbehaving hens. 🙂
😁😆🤣
I’m good, really good! Oh I know all about your title. I’m just saying there’s not much work for you in that role. We been good. Haven’t we ladies? 😇
Manafort and his attorneys did not call any witnesses or put on any defense. Next is closing arguments. The defense is expected to do as they did in their opening statement, which is to blame Gates for mishandling Manafort's money. The jury will then deliberate. #GUILTY
Sadly, we are witnessing not so much the meaness of Trump as the hypocrisy of the Republican Congress. Imagine Obama calling any woman a dog. Do you think he would get a black privilege pass like Trump Is getting a white privilege pass?
I really don’t know what game this guy is playing anymore but this is pure bullshit.

Anyone speaking of 2020 when the crisis in Now…..2018…..I’m just Not listening. I like Avenatti. But 2020 is over 2yrs from now. I want a Congress & many States with Dem Govs and Legislators in 2018. 2020 will soon be here. Getting Trump impeach is the next phase, in my book after 2018 elections.
Don’t like saying it, but is he getting too caught up in his own self? Is he thinking he can jump into 2020 elections. Pause, step back a bit, & think, Michael. MSM love raising you up, then dropping you as a malfunctioning hot potato. Best to focus on what you do best & ignore the “noise confetti”. QED.
He will not run for president. People are tired of novices with NO political experience. I would imagine that the RWRNJ’s (Right-wing-Russian-Nut-Jobs) are digging up dirt on him. He is NO PBO we do not need a hot head for President not that he would treat our allies like POS-In-The-WH. He should run for Senator or Congress to get this political chops.

It was me and it wasn’t Sander’s FB page it was my cousin on FB had a video of one of the black pastors who met with Trump saying Trump has done more for black people than Obama. Not sure where she got the video from but I muted her because I can’t take all the lies.

Hmm, @PFW. I didn't listen but am always leery of those who try 2 gain leverage by stomping down those who came before.

So awful. Most of the 559 children still (!) separated from their now-deported parents must decide on their own btwn staying in US or reuniting. Going home means returning to terrifying lives they escaped. Staying could mean never seeing parents again https://t.co/TW5yGE44Z2

Of alllllll the things that Trump has done…this is the Worse…The Worse….
Let’s call separating and jailing children by it’s name = Crimes Against Humanity.
Last surviving member of the Nuremberg trials, prosecutor Ben Frencz, defined Trump’s actions as “crimes against humanity”.
Plus Trump purposely changed the rules. One has to enter the country to apply for asylum: Dicktraitor made that in itself a crime.
Ever since he first got in front of the pack and tried to visit the separated immigrant families, this guy has been one of my heroes. Didn’t follow him much before, but he “found his voice” - and so much so, that I heard it in Illinois!

Citizenship service conspired with ICE to ‘trap’ immigrants at visa interviews, ACLU says
By Meagan Flynn
August 15 at 9:37 AM
The 30-year-old mother of two wound up handcuffed and then detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for nearly a month, capturing the attention of the ACLU and leading to a class-action lawsuit over what attorneys have described as a “cruel bait and switch” arrest operation. According to emails between federal officials unsealed in federal court documents this week, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services had been coordinating with ICE to alert the agency when certain immigrants eligible for deportation showed up at the CIS office for routine interviews.
The ACLU of Massachusetts is accusing the agencies of conspiring to “trap” unsuspecting immigrants on a path toward legal permanent residency by inviting them to these interviews only for ICE to arrest them there. This happened to at least 17 people in 2018 including Calderon, although only 13 qualify as members of the class, according to the lawsuit. The ACLU argues this violates their rights to due process and the Immigration Nationality Act, among other things, for detaining the immigrants before they’ve had a chance to complete the process for seeking legal status.
“The government created this path for them to seek a green card,” Matthew Segal, legal director of the ACLU of Massachusetts, told the Associated Press. “The government can’t create that path and then arrest folks for following that path.”
RORHRABACHER: Russian Cyberattacks helped Putin’s buddy Rohrabacher (R-CA) to win:
“The hacks on (scientist Keirstead) began in August 2017 with a spear-phishing attempt — a fake email intended to deceive the recipient into typing in his or her password or other confidential information — sent to Keirstead’s work email address. The phishing attempt was successful. …similar to the phishing attack on Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta that later resulted in the release of thousands of Podesta’s personal emails….followed up by an attack on the campaign’s website and host, and an attack that tried to gain control of the campaign’s Twitter account…familiar pattern. Sen. Claire McCaskill’s campaign was attacked by Russians using spear-phishing methods to try to gain access to emails. Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-NM) said that foreign actors had used the same spear-phishing methods to attack him and his children.” (politicus)

I threw in Randy Bryce’s twitter handle, just to poke him in the eye another time. When this topic of removing the security clearances of his adversaries first came up, Ryan said trump was just “trolling” people.
@SpeakerRyan
You said trump was "trolling" on this topic He wasn't.
First he came for @JohnBrennan's security clearance, and YOU DID NOTHING …#DoNothingSpeaker #GOPOwnsThis #RyanDoesNotProtectNationalSecurity
Trump just revoked former CIA director John Brennan’s security clearance because he criticized Trump. And FAUX smeared him big time.
Get the Dicktraitor GONE before he makes himself 1st United States lifetime president.
Happy birthday to my friend and colleague @RepMaxineWaters. You are a strong, courageous and dedicated role model who knows how to get the job done. And that strikes fear in the heart of @realDonaldTrump. pic.twitter.com/a5wyMd9wX7
FYI
In Congress many Females wear Red. It makes them noticeable….especially when they were just a handful of them. Today in the House=20% & in the Senate 20%+.
Also, I heard that during Reagan, He loved Red. I’m not so sure what his love of Red Dresses had to do with Ladies in Congress.
Revoking the security clearance of an honorable patriot is a stunning abuse of power & a pathetic attempt to silence critics. This is yet another disturbing attempt by @realdonaldtrump to distract & divert attention from his Admin's #cultureofcorruption, cronyism & incompetence.

Hi, guys - I’ve been away from this wonderful family for sooooo long! I’m overjoyed to see and read all of you who have stuck together in this existential battle. We’ve lived through triumphs and heartbreak. I hope I’m welcome……
It’s been a tough year. Mr. 57 had knee replacement the end of January. Recovery was slow but steady and it was hard on us at 78 and 68, respecittively. Unfortunately, I pushed hard to have everything ready for him and to take care of him.And my job, as the museum was just opening, was hell: 10-day work “weeks.” on my feel all the time. It put me in a terrible place. I pushed myself to the point of real danger. I’ve been living in constant, searing pain, barely able to walk. Most nights I sit and cry. As I said to my doctor at the beginning of the summer, “You could cut me open without anesthesia and I don’t think I could hurt more than I’ve been hurting.” But hip replacement surgery is scheduled for September 6. It better fix me right up!
We’re on our own. No kids, except the puppies. When I have the surgery, I’m not going to be an idiot. This time when people offer to help, do grocery shopping, bring a meal I’m saying “Yes, thank you.” Shoveling the snow in February was one of the many dumb things I did that has led to this relentless, searing, overwhelming pain.
I had an appt with the surgical assistant yesterday and was supposed to have labs, but they didn’t have me on the books. They pulled a nurse from the “infusion therapy” room to draw blood. While I was in that room, I saw a teen-aged boy about 14 years old. Of course I don’t know what therapy he was receiving, but he was in so much misery and you could tell that he and his mother that this had been going through hell for a long time and it was taking a serious toll on both of them. I looked at him and thought, “He can’t have the childhood and teen years I had. How could I make everything about me, when there are so many in the world so much worse off.” Perspective - always a good thing.
Well,I’ve missed you all so much. I’m down to part time so I don’t have to face the sociopath every day. Frankly, I couldn’t drive every day if my life depended on it. But hopefully the end is in sight.
I’m glad to see all of my TOD friends still fighting the good fight. I humbly ask to be included in the family again.
Hey! Great to see you but so sorry you’ve been having such a tough time. Here’s hoping the surgery produces exactly the health-giving effects you need. Make sure to take it easy, especially when it comes to your toxic work environment. Welcome back!
This feels like an injury - a deep, unrelenting injury. Dr. thinks there are things he can’t see on the x-ray and MRI. It’s compounded by the fact I can’t takes NSAIDs - no aspirin, Aleve, Advil. Deadly asthma attacks. So I’ve tried every supplement under the sun. The good news: hip replacement recovery is much faster and easier than knee replacement. My doctor is a leading expert in a technique that heals faster with less complications. I have high expectations. Everyone who’s had it says, “What are you waiting for?” Well, waiting for my husband to be well enough,for starters! My best friend who had two hip replacements said, “He’s well enough. Get the surgery.” Three weeks and one day, but who’s counting?
Hi 57andfemale! Long time no hear! So sorry that you are not in tip-top health but glad you are on the mend with your upcoming surgery. My neighbor had knee surgery end of January too and will have to get it done all over again because the replacement shifted, sounds like it was defective. Hope Mr. 57is doing well and will be able to help you after surgery. Hope that after your surgery every thing will go well and by November you both can do a jig when DEMs Blue Wave knock that smile off the Corrupt Administration’s face.
Thanks so much. Mr. 57 is doing well. He’d be doing better if he did all his exercises, but he’s about 90%. After surgery, I’m going to do more than read, tweet & donate. We have a fascist dictator and treasonous GOP to run out of office!
Hi, 57 and Female glad you stopped by. {{Hugs}} to you. So sorry you and your husband have been having medical issues, and you’re in pain. I hope and pray that once you get surgery, you can begin to feel better.
John Brennan was the point person for the Obama White House on the operation that killed Osama bin Laden. He knows a lot more about defending our nation than someone who uses security clearances to punish his political adversaries.
.@MaddowBlog: It’s worth revisiting what some relevant officials had to say when President Trump first floated the idea a few weeks ago to revoke the security clearances of former intelligence officials who’ve criticized him. https://t.co/jh6fPZAb64
This is a partisan and vindictive violation of the First Amendment, designed to shut up Trump’s critics. It won’t work and, worse, it’s a serious abuse of presidential power, arguably a “high Crime and Misdemeanor.” @AriMelber @chrislhayes @Lawrence https://t.co/HNYgMhWs7F
This action is part of a broader effort by Mr. Trump to suppress freedom of speech & punish critics. It should gravely worry all Americans, including intelligence professionals, about the cost of speaking out. My principles are worth far more than clearances. I will not relent. https://t.co/TNzOxhP9ux

You speak the truth Rev. Barber,
Remember when PBO said “Kamala Harris was not only smart but good-looking too”, feminist and MSM lost their minds as usual.
Or when the purity progressives lost it over him calling Elizabeth Warren by her first name? Privileged whiners.
I really don’t know what game this guy is playing anymore but this is pure bullshit.
I’m not impress by Avenatti. I don’t want my President to get in the gutter like Trump.

Exactly! If he were smart and sincere about it, he’d be out there working for the 2018 election, fundraising and registering voters. UGH.
Don’t like saying it, but is he getting too caught up in his own self? Is he thinking he can jump into 2020 elections. Pause, step back a bit, & think, Michael. MSM love raising you up, then dropping you as a malfunctioning hot potato. Best to focus on what you do best & ignore the “noise confetti”. QED.
All of those tv appearances went straight to his head.
He will not run for president. People are tired of novices with NO political experience. I would imagine that the RWRNJ’s (Right-wing-Russian-Nut-Jobs) are digging up dirt on him. He is NO PBO we do not need a hot head for President not that he would treat our allies like POS-In-The-WH. He should run for Senator or Congress to get this political chops.

Your gonna need it one day. It will save your soul even if only for a couple minutes.
These are breathtaking! Wow!
WOW!!!!
Ohhhh yehhhh! 💃🏾
Good morning, TODville.
I hope this moves swiftly and Manafort is found guilty. There is a mountain of evidence but it shouldn’t take long for the jury to decide, especially on the bank fraud.
Good showing, Ds!! Excellent groundwork, no doubt.
Morning TODbots ❤ always.
Woooooot! 🌊
Oh, thank goodness for this family reunited. So many thousands more still suffering.
Good morning mates. It should be noted that the msm has devod a lot of time to last nights victories…NOT! 😡
But what is up with some these candidates bashing Pelosi…..Irritates me to no end…my grandmother would say that they are wet behind the ears and don’t know of what they speak…
What is it with the Dem women who are trying to get elected on Pelosi’s back? Not very smart.
don’t know….just don’t know
Of alllllll the things that Trump has done…this is the Worse…The Worse….
and the GOP Congress is complicit in this tragedy
Let’s call separating and jailing children by it’s name = Crimes Against Humanity.
Last surviving member of the Nuremberg trials, prosecutor Ben Frencz, defined Trump’s actions as “crimes against humanity”.
Plus Trump purposely changed the rules. One has to enter the country to apply for asylum: Dicktraitor made that in itself a crime.
I can’t take much more of this. And I’m just an onlooker. What in the world must these children and their parents be feeling?
Ever since he first got in front of the pack and tried to visit the separated immigrant families, this guy has been one of my heroes. Didn’t follow him much before, but he “found his voice” - and so much so, that I heard it in Illinois!
He’s really become one of the brightest spots in our fight against Trump. The other person that I love on Twitter is the Senator from Hawaii, @brianschatz. He’s very smart and very politically astute. So I’m quiet sure you already follow him!!
Ha. I knew his name, but I had to go back and check. Then I saw his cute pic - and, yes, I have been following him, after seeing him on the teevee. 🙂 But don’t kid yourself - I often follow people I’ve noticed you follow!
Smart cookie, Booms. LOLz.
Gates may have answers to Trump inauguration money mystery
Rachel Maddow shares an observation by the AP about questions that came up in the trial of Paul Manafort about whether Manafort’s assistant Rick Gates stole money from the Trump inauguration fund may be a clue to where that money went.
Mueller’s prosecutors push back against judge in Manafort trial
Josh Gerstein, senior reporter for Politico, talks with Rachel Maddow about a tense exchange between the prosecution and the judge in the Paul Manafort trial, and some questions that remain unanswered as the trial comes to a close.
Manafort trial exposes corrupt workings of Trump transition
On the day the defense rested in the trial of Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, Rachel Maddow looks at how evidence in the trial also offered a window into how the Trump transition gathered names for jobs in the new administration.
it was not Trump in conspiracy w/Russia…it was not his treatment of children at the border or his getting rich on the taxpayer dime….it is the “Tariffs”….until it affects you personally…you are all aboard the Trump Train…
They are hellish people!

RORHRABACHER: Russian Cyberattacks helped Putin’s buddy Rohrabacher (R-CA) to win:
“The hacks on (scientist Keirstead) began in August 2017 with a spear-phishing attempt — a fake email intended to deceive the recipient into typing in his or her password or other confidential information — sent to Keirstead’s work email address. The phishing attempt was successful. …similar to the phishing attack on Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta that later resulted in the release of thousands of Podesta’s personal emails….followed up by an attack on the campaign’s website and host, and an attack that tried to gain control of the campaign’s Twitter account…familiar pattern. Sen. Claire McCaskill’s campaign was attacked by Russians using spear-phishing methods to try to gain access to emails. Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-NM) said that foreign actors had used the same spear-phishing methods to attack him and his children.” (politicus)
NEVER, EVER, EVER TYPE IN YOUR PASSWORD in response to an email.
And btw do not type password numbers into checkout machines when using your Visa card.
Resist.
I threw in Randy Bryce’s twitter handle, just to poke him in the eye another time. When this topic of removing the security clearances of his adversaries first came up, Ryan said trump was just “trolling” people.
Trump just revoked former CIA director John Brennan’s security clearance because he criticized Trump. And FAUX smeared him big time.
Get the Dicktraitor GONE before he makes himself 1st United States lifetime president.
GA, TODbots.
hello nena
😉
Belisha beacon red. Why not just wear a Trump hat to go with it?
FYI
In Congress many Females wear Red. It makes them noticeable….especially when they were just a handful of them. Today in the House=20% & in the Senate 20%+.
Also, I heard that during Reagan, He loved Red. I’m not so sure what his love of Red Dresses had to do with Ladies in Congress.
Ça m’est égal. Their every action is cryptic and has meaning.
STOP KAVANAUGH before he makes Donald Trump 1st United States lifetime President.
Kavanaugh and T S Ellis are made from the same cut of cloth.
Let’s hope it is just the beginning.
Now if they just go vote and don’t think they don’t have to because of this generic poll. Please everyone VOTE!
Hi, guys - I’ve been away from this wonderful family for sooooo long! I’m overjoyed to see and read all of you who have stuck together in this existential battle. We’ve lived through triumphs and heartbreak. I hope I’m welcome……
It’s been a tough year. Mr. 57 had knee replacement the end of January. Recovery was slow but steady and it was hard on us at 78 and 68, respecittively. Unfortunately, I pushed hard to have everything ready for him and to take care of him.And my job, as the museum was just opening, was hell: 10-day work “weeks.” on my feel all the time. It put me in a terrible place. I pushed myself to the point of real danger. I’ve been living in constant, searing pain, barely able to walk. Most nights I sit and cry. As I said to my doctor at the beginning of the summer, “You could cut me open without anesthesia and I don’t think I could hurt more than I’ve been hurting.” But hip replacement surgery is scheduled for September 6. It better fix me right up!
We’re on our own. No kids, except the puppies. When I have the surgery, I’m not going to be an idiot. This time when people offer to help, do grocery shopping, bring a meal I’m saying “Yes, thank you.” Shoveling the snow in February was one of the many dumb things I did that has led to this relentless, searing, overwhelming pain.
I had an appt with the surgical assistant yesterday and was supposed to have labs, but they didn’t have me on the books. They pulled a nurse from the “infusion therapy” room to draw blood. While I was in that room, I saw a teen-aged boy about 14 years old. Of course I don’t know what therapy he was receiving, but he was in so much misery and you could tell that he and his mother that this had been going through hell for a long time and it was taking a serious toll on both of them. I looked at him and thought, “He can’t have the childhood and teen years I had. How could I make everything about me, when there are so many in the world so much worse off.” Perspective - always a good thing.
Well,I’ve missed you all so much. I’m down to part time so I don’t have to face the sociopath every day. Frankly, I couldn’t drive every day if my life depended on it. But hopefully the end is in sight.
I’m glad to see all of my TOD friends still fighting the good fight. I humbly ask to be included in the family again.
Hey! Great to see you but so sorry you’ve been having such a tough time. Here’s hoping the surgery produces exactly the health-giving effects you need. Make sure to take it easy, especially when it comes to your toxic work environment. Welcome back!
-no more shoveling snow! joint pain must be unbelievably hard to bear, am So sorry. All the best for your surgery, with love.
This feels like an injury - a deep, unrelenting injury. Dr. thinks there are things he can’t see on the x-ray and MRI. It’s compounded by the fact I can’t takes NSAIDs - no aspirin, Aleve, Advil. Deadly asthma attacks. So I’ve tried every supplement under the sun. The good news: hip replacement recovery is much faster and easier than knee replacement. My doctor is a leading expert in a technique that heals faster with less complications. I have high expectations. Everyone who’s had it says, “What are you waiting for?” Well, waiting for my husband to be well enough,for starters! My best friend who had two hip replacements said, “He’s well enough. Get the surgery.” Three weeks and one day, but who’s counting?
Hi 57andfemale! Long time no hear! So sorry that you are not in tip-top health but glad you are on the mend with your upcoming surgery. My neighbor had knee surgery end of January too and will have to get it done all over again because the replacement shifted, sounds like it was defective. Hope Mr. 57is doing well and will be able to help you after surgery. Hope that after your surgery every thing will go well and by November you both can do a jig when DEMs Blue Wave knock that smile off the Corrupt Administration’s face.
Thanks so much. Mr. 57 is doing well. He’d be doing better if he did all his exercises, but he’s about 90%. After surgery, I’m going to do more than read, tweet & donate. We have a fascist dictator and treasonous GOP to run out of office!
Hi, 57 and Female glad you stopped by. {{Hugs}} to you. So sorry you and your husband have been having medical issues, and you’re in pain. I hope and pray that once you get surgery, you can begin to feel better.
I hope we take over the House. There is going to be a long list of crimes the orange-douche will be convicted of.
New post.
