Good Morning TOD Family!
Cracking up really hard at the Presidentâs comments about the GOP and how theyâre living in an alternative universe!
Bright, sunny and cool day here in S.F. Hubby is speaking to a college class today on the subject of white privilege. Should be interesting. I wonât be in attendance as I have to be at my volunteer job today. I hope someone gets it on video.
Wishing everyone a great day! For those who have elections today, sending positive energy towards the best results! Be checking in later.
<3 Sent in my ballot so many weeks ago, almost forgot its voting day! Mornin' y'all. I missed the party too, huge congratulations on 33Million. There must be quite a few lurking types around, all those hits can't possibly be from the regulars! I suspect a fair few keep a finger on the pulse of reality by checking out where the views on TOD stand each day! <3
:star: This is for you DD4O, not sure where it may land!
Thank you MP <3

Hello TODable TODville Village on a Gorgeous Nov 3rd, 2015. Sunny. Blue Sky. A tough of a slight Breeze and 75F is the projected high today. Might I add, too hot for Moi……60F-65F is my personal recommended and preferable Weather ;)
I have not read much today….Not at all to be Frank.
Congrats to all the Gold :star: winners, starting with this post and several posts back.
WH Presser with Josh “The Voice” Earnest schedule LIVE @12:30 PM EDT
Now back to catching up.
Thanks Chips and NW for keeping this place a Homey Lovely Oasis.
Itâs my 36th birthday and a lot of weird changes have come over my life. For example for all my life I loathed football and all sports. Now, I love football. How times have changed. lol
Happy Birthday Jeff! :) Hope itâs going great so far, and wishing you many, many more!
Happy Happy Birthday Jeff…..
Celebrateeeeee
Happy Birthday, Jeff!
Wishing you a Glorious day and Many Happy days ahead :)
Happy Birthday Jeff….youâre still a youngster (compared to me). Today is my dadâs birthday too.
Happy Birthday, Jeff!! AH,,,to be 36 again:) Enjoy!
Happy birthday Jeff - 36 is a good year - I remember it better than most - old enough to be in control - young enough to sometimes forget that fact :)
Happy Birthday, Jeff! Hope you have a great day.
FLOTUS makes me proud - where ever she travels.
This is hilarious!!
can only lift 3 45s on each side.
A broken Clock is Twice right in a Day…..24 hrs ;)
Yup, Poor KOCHroaches……Go directly to Blazes.
Well, he would, wouldnât he?
wow, canât believe i agree with trump on something here!
Congrats on another TOD milestone! If i were president for the day, iâd fire everyone currently on the tee vee news and replace them with all the great people here that keep us informed and centered.

It would be amazing if we reach 45,000,000 the day PBO and FLOTUS leaves the WH……..
Ryan canât be “trusted” PERIOD
We can maintain the priorities and meaning weâve given to the historical record by refusing to allow the individual stories of others to challenge our story of America. That is how we maintain the divide. The alternative is to recognize that our own story of America is something that can evolve as we listen to how it intersects with the individual stories of others.
*************************************
Generally speaking POC live in two worlds…their world and the world of quote dominant culture….in order to survive it is something that we lean to navigate at an early age….
not true for those folks of the “dominant” culture…hence they have trouble seeing what we see…and in addition…”they” do not want to see what “we” see…because it causes as you call it “a moment of cognitive dissonance”….
then there are those political forces who have a stake in not letting members of the dominant culture have “a moment of cognitive dissonance”…
which why folks of color continue to struggle…and why we keep having to fight the same battles over and over again…although victories are won…but if we do not defend them….they will be chipped away…aka VRA
We had our best chance with President Barack Obama…to transform America…i mean to really transform….that window is closing….
reminds me of the scene from Star Trek in with the Positive and Negative were locked in forever conflict without resolution….
This is an excellent article, Pf. Thanks for bringing over.
yes….i wonder how hey got folks to open up to them….i was truly amazed of how frank folks were…but what i saw of her questions…they were not gotcha questions and she did not berate them for their answers…rather she offered another question…of inquiry…interesting
LOL - NY Mag is just figuring out what Iâve been saying for weeks now. Carson is not running for President. Heâs raising money for his pockets and also place-holder for Jeb or whoever the establishment selects in the final weeks of the GOP primary.
wasnât Newt Gindrich doing the same thing
And Huckabee.
Trump, too, until the adoration of the crowd got to his simple head, and now he thinks he can be POTUS.
B.C. spends almost 70% of the money he takes in to do MORE fundraising. Has he put himself on the ballot on any states? That would be the clue for me. The guy who is running his campaign is the bald AA RWNJ turned radio host Armstrong Williams. $arah Palin taught them how to grift and the same nuts are sending him money and buying his books. Someone in the comments said that B.C. bought a mansion in Florida probably next door to Rush Limpballs.
have not more than few of us been saying that this was all about the GRIFT?
Yup, many TODers have been observing this!
Unless Carson is seriously unhinged, he knows he will never be the GOP nominee - has he not seen how the base treats PBO?
I donât think he cares how the “base” treats PBO. If he did, he wouldnât even present himself the way he does. Carson is the ultimate narcissist.
Iâm sure he doesnât care hf - but he sure knows. He is in dreamworld standing in line with those white american heroes on the GOP debate stage
Heâll pull a “Clarence Thomas” and call it a 21st Century Lynching of an REAL African American presidential candidate.
$$$$$
I remember the Millionaire or was it a Billionaire Father whose Ivy Leagued Educated son killed father months ago for cutting sonâs allowance while still paying for his sonâs plush Manhattan Apartment.
He will get off because he suffers from Affluencism or Affluitus…addition to wealth and didnât know any better.
Oh to be stoooopid at the age of 27, living in a home your parents purchased - with your girlfriend no less and you are dreaming of having easy money so you can do maintenance work on the house and get a garage. This is truly a person - an entitled person who does drugs.
Now where is he on his way too? And you sloppily killed the ONLY two people who would have stood by you in this crisis. Dumb-ass!
OT, but this was on my way in to work this morning, very disturbed. Body in the middle of the street, blocks cordoned off by police. It wasnât a window washer who fell, but some other guy. Although I think the body was too far in the middle of the street for a suicide.

Thatâs as bad as last Friday during morning commute a young man speeding, driving recklessly and without a seat belt crashed his car, it flipped several times, ejecting him and he landed on top of a freeway sign. Think of all those drivers going to work seeing that sight before the fire department could climb up, cover and remove his body.
I saw that report on the news jojo. Oh the horror. And his family said he was a “good kid”, “probably rushing to get to work because he was late.” He was reported to be speeding, weaving in & out of traffic and even driving on the shoulder.
Well, it turned out to be some lawyer who supposedly jumped from the office building next to my office building. Still disturbed by that crumpled body. Even more so by people pulling out their cell phones to take photos of that horrible scene.
TOD had 33M Hits and No Celebrations!

Congratulations, Chips!
Sorry. Well, itâs about the new speaker of the House. Feel free to watch on Vimeo.
Ran across this: on the ballot in OH today

GE all.
Most of the media cannot give PBO any credit for anything.
After that hit headline on the President that POLITICO put out about the releasing of prisoners… i am not interested in reading POLITICO..and seeing as the headline praises Warren….all i will say is
…Keep it moving…..Nothing to see here
I know that It isnât polite to Joke about oneâs death…….However…..this Joke is Hilarious!
When asked, Josh Earnest said that Russiaâs Military built up in Syria is contrary to this statement.
I sense the powerful, but quiet, influence of PBO in this shift. So much of his transformative international work has been behind-the-scenes, and we just get these tasty hints.
Amen Susanne
Right long beside you, prettyfoot58 on Susanneâs thoughts. He can be trusted regardless what others may say. Trust me. Our President walks with dignity and a conscience of what is right and wrong. . HZ
Maybe Putin is finally listening to our sage and wise president who has repeatedly said that you cannot bomb your way to a solution in syria… hmm…
Just thinking about that sentence….. amazing work PBO!!!
hmmph
She Understood Where We Were Coming From:â Hillary Clinton Meets With Mothers Of Tamir Rice, Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, & More

“No I canât, I canât accept this,” Harry said, as reported by People.com, to which Ennis replied, “Please, you know what this means to me, I want you to.â
Ennis, 24, was injured in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan in 2012. Since then, she has undergone 38 surgeries, the Mirror reported, and is due to have her left leg amputated. The former Marine completed the walk with four former British soldiers and another U.S. Marine to raise money and awareness for Walking With the Wounded, which helps injured military members regain independence. Prince Harry officially announced the event, called the Walk of Britain, in March, and joined Ennis and her teammates at two points along their 72-day journey, BBC reported.
The dog tag Ennis handed the 31-year-old royal was to honor of Cpl. Baune, from Minnesota, who died in combat just 10 days before Ennis was injured, according to People.com.
“I look at situations like that, he never came home, he had a wife and a family but he never came home,â she told the news outlet. âThe six of us here today did come home, we are actually the lucky ones. The least we can do is share their legacy and honor their memory.â
VICE is Night and Day of what Todayâs Cable News Networks have become……
unfortunately, theyâre going to focus more on culture/lifestyle than news.
Hmm?
Yesterday, The Hell said that Senate had Blocked it……..
Later, TOD ;)
Good read on a topic that weâll be hearing the rethugs rant about. Bottom line:
‘ Mark Lipsey speculated that the reason so many of the pre-K kids lost enthusiasm for school was that they ended up doing and learning the same things for three years in a row. His colleague Dale Farran toured the stateâs classrooms, and in too many cases, she told me, 4-year-olds were expected to sit still and listen as a group, to follow instructions from a single teacher. They were not â as was the case in the Perry Preschool and the Abecedarian school â wandering around building towers and knocking them down, exploring their world and asking questions of teachers who had the time and the bandwidth to answer them and lead them deeper into inquiry. ‘

Oh gosh no…a bunch of RWNJ red-meat softballs lobbed at other RWNJs. None of it will make sense and the sheeple voters will love it.
YES INDEED…WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE CARBONS IN THE AIR!
