Duuuuuuuuuuudette!!!! Back in a bit!
Parting is such sweet sorrow… :-)
Well now, Mrs. Lady! Here’s a little something for you. :star: :star: :star:
{{{ Dudette }}} :)
Aw! Thank you MP! 😘
Congrats!
Chipsticks, you are good!
Congrats Dudette on your afternoon gold. Way to go.
Thanks NCLB! :-)
Love “The Big O” on the President’s tie in that cartoon. :)
😄
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL…REPUGNANTS ARE LOST IN THE BROWN PAPER BAG TOUR…THEY DON’T KNOW HOW TO SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY!
Oh, Ben Carson. Who would write a book about himself called “Gifted Hands”? How humble.
This is absolutely gob-smacking astounding! Who would have thought this could happen? ‘All’ it took was for a determined and skilled leader to put the nation’s needs above the oil baron’s profits.
SO PROUD OF MY ENERGIZER PBO!!!!
WOLFBOY ON CNN SAYS THE NEW PRESIENT WILL PROBABLY UNDO PBO’S REJECTION…………………..LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL..GOOD LUCK WITH THAT NAYSAYERS!
Taking the day to rest, will be hanging with all o’ y’all, and loving it! Let me just say how awesome are we, that we elected and re-elected the finest man on this earth to the most powerful position on earth. And blessed to have his incredible wife and life-partner to stand with him, for us all. <3
This!
Well said MP.
First Lady Michelle Obama left Qatar on Friday almost 48 hours later than scheduled after bad weather forced her to extend her stay in the Gulf state and cancel a planned trip to Jordan. http://www.gulf-times.com/
Thanks for this info JER.
The First Lady looks lovely.
I JUST SENT OVER A HUGE PIC OF SEVERE FLOODING IN JORDAN…………………..
Amman was so looking forward to her visit. But she will go back….
I think she was a hit in Qatar too.
Helloooooooooooooooooooo TOD.
TGIF :)
Partly Cloudy. Relatively cool with a slight breeze.
Congrats Dudette on your Solid Au :star:
I have read very little today. I was VERY pleased to hear that POTUS said No to the Keystone Pipe Line. YES!
So Dr. Ben Carson is now proving that Lying about West Point isn’t Too Cool?
Congrats to all the Gold :star: winners since last night.
That Cartoon up Thread is Brilliant! I love it ;)
Thanks Nena!
Please tweet this!
Go for it. I haven’t mastered the how of it yet.
Love this!!
So true Mr. President!
Love this message, but I’m not sure that’s the best photo of the president to use promoting it. He always looks good, of course, but here he’s been caught between words or something, and looking down. Just saying.
Valid point, S.
I had promised to post 11-04-15 WH Presser Yesterday. I am sorry that I didn’t. Pardon me.
Here it is……:
:oops:
11-05-15
�?�?�?
Lame Duck looks GOOOOOOOOD on this President
Hubba Hubba!
Ha!
It was only a matter of time before the imitation black candidate was revealed for who he really is. “Herman Cain, meet your brother, Ben Carson”. “Allen West, meet your brother Ben Carson”
I’m sorry, but I simply MUST…
Good one Dudette! :D

WH Presser LIVE with Josh “The Voice” Earnest, starting Momentarily
I’m sure Governor Walker will jump right on that.
😂😂😂
“STEVE DOOCY (CO-HOST): You know the music, we are back with a Fox Business Alert right now. The October jobless report for hourly workers, just released 90 seconds ago. The unemployment rate is, as you can see right there, 5 percent. I believe that could be, actually, a little lower than in August and in September as well.
ELISABETH HASSELBECK (CO-HOST): That’s right, Steve. Only 271,000 new jobs were added last month. That is up from September as well. Analysts were expecting more than 180,000 jobs for October.
“
Okay that didn’t end up in the right place. Still funny though. Tweet of article this comes from is downthread.
Hilarious!
Woot!
Merck, oh shit!
At the rate that Dr. Carson is going it won’t be long before the Republicans start calling him the n-word.
HE’S ON THE DOWNHILL SLIDE INTO RAN PAUL’S SUBDIVISION AT THIS POINT!…SLUSH—SLUSH!!!
They are calling him that now - that’s why he’s being busted left and right.
Always going to happen Don - and knowing the GOP mindset - sooner rather than later. True definition of insanity - anyone who is not a “white male” wanting to be a GOP Presidential candidate
:lol: :roll: :lol: :roll:
They are not only scums of the earth……They are Cancerous to our Democratic Republic.
Baghdad Bob has more credibility than fox news has.
Hahahahahaha! I believe that is exactly what transpired between the Producer and the News Readers! :D :D :D
BBL…………………..HAVE A GREAT REST OF THE DAY!
Hello Sue/See Ya Later Sue :-)
Happy Friday TOD :) I love our President so very much ~
My analysis is that John Kasich will be the Republican nominee for the Presidency and he will be defeated by Hillary Clinton who will invariable have to overcome past and future fuck-ups by Bill Clinton.
I can see that happening. At this point, Kasich is the one nobody knows much about, so he’s not (yet) tainted. By the time the rest of the clowns have fallen off the circus train, he’ll be the only man standing. Not a choice, but a default. Hillary has problems from Bill’s past, and some of her own making as well. But it would take something massive to bring her within striking distance of O’Malley or Sanders, imho. She has tremendous momentum at this point. However, we still have a year to go!!!
I thought that people the world over trembled at the feet of Putin. Now is a perfect time for Putin to go to Syria and take off his shit and kick some ass.
The terrorist showed Putin just how scared they were of him. Now he’s really pissed off!
Oh my god. This is awful. Bombs on airplanes. sickening.
What a Friday!
Keystone pipeline denied!
Excellent Jobs numbers!
President Obama has the opposition reeling. I’m smiling.
Next big blow to RW and Emos will be the closing of Gitmo. IIRC Grumpy Cat voted to keep Guantanamo open. WTF, Bernie?
What a President. Never ceases to amaze us.
Yep, Vicki, I think the Gitmo thing is coming very soon.
It came up at the Presser today.
Josh said that Pres Obama is willing and eager to use every toll at his possession within the confines of the Constitution to get the desired policy with regards to GITMO……….No doubt, an Executive Order is coming soon.
LOL! The referenced tweet! 😂😂😂
:-D
You musical DJ’s are on a roll today :D
Since it’s Gallup Poll, feel Free to add additional 8%-10% points ;)
Gallup poll……:( I had enough of them 2012.
:(
Me too
Um…OF COURSE!!

Is Carson For Prez A Direct Mail Scam?
ByJOSH MARSHALL
Published NOVEMBER 4, 2015, 2:28 PM EST
If you remember the plot of Mel Brooks’ classic movie, The Producers, the idea was that the scammers set out to produce the worst possible play imaginable to be certain it would close after one night. Yet, they made it so bad it broke through the membrane of awful into the sublime. And they were screwed. Which brings us to the Ben Carson campaign. There is a lot of evidence, coming from a variety of angles, that Carson for President is actually a direct mail scam. Or at least that it started that way.
First, let me explain a bit about what I mean.
icans Against RINOs. You get the idea. Obviously there are crooked charities that run this way. But it’s a prevalent model on the right.
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/is-carson-for-prez-a-direct-mail-scam
I don’t think that the people that introduced Carson to us are the same people that are handling him now. I think that the people that introduced us to Carson were the true believers, they believed in everything that Carson stood for. When I heard that Armstrong Williams was an advisor to Dr. Carson’s campaign I knew the jig was up, Williams is all about the all might dollar. You all remember Armstrong Williams don’t you, he was the designated black guy put in charge of feeding the black community lies from the Bush Administration, and he was paid for it handsomely. At this point in time Dr. Carson’s campaign is nothing more than a money grab.
The real Ben Carson is slowly being revealed…
https://www.rawstory.com/2015/11/meet-armstrong-williams-the-shady-grifter-whos-running-ben-carsons-bizarro-campaign/
Recently, Williams admitted that he helped negotiate Carson’s relationship with troubled medical supplement company Mannatech, although in January of this year he told National Review Online : “I don’t know that he’s ever had a compensated relationship with Mannatech.�?
As noted by Jonathan Chait at New York Magazine, Carson’s campaign has all the trappings of a direct mail business operation; plowing an extraordinarily high rate of donations back into seeking even more donations while building up a potentially lucrative mailing list.
As Chait writes, “Spending most of your money to raise more money is not a good way to get elected president, but it is a good way to build a massive list of supporters that can later be monetized. Perhaps it is a giveaway that the official title for Armstrong Williams, the figure running the Carson ‘campaign,’ is ‘business manager,’ as opposed to ‘campaign manager.’ It does suggests that Carson is engaged in a for-profit venture.�?
GGail, I swear I didn’t even read that story, everything I said came from knowing Armstrong Williams and remembering what sort of character he is.
You’re damn right skippy that “Uncle” Armstrong was paid handsomely. He was interviewed on NewsOne this am regarding his ownership of 7, that’s right, SEVEN TV stations…
Ah, merde.
WestPoint needs to be a little more specific.
Don! :D :D :D
…..and gitmo and the black vote and…….
Preach!
TOO FUNNY!!!!!
Could one of you Twitter experts tell me how to pin a tweet to the top of your TL? I want this one to be mine. :-)
Hiya Dame Delectable, I think you can only pin one your own tweets to the top??
Ah! I can fix that easilty! Thanks Chips!
Success! Vielen Dank , meine Liebe! :-D
He’s done.
OMG. My worst fear is that we will end up having to support Hillary Clinton.
Steel yourself. She’s lightyears better than these batshit crazy liars!
Don’t worry, Jackie, Hillary’s campaign is sure to fuck-up somewhere down the line. Sooner or later someone from her campaign is going to say something fucked up about President Obama, mark my words. They just can’t help themselves.
:-D
bbl
I have needed 4 documents to prove my name for years - really infuriating - but NEVER have I needed to use any of them to vote. This is the GOPs current method of ensuring their divine right to rule
I miss the good old days when you could easily point out a Teabagger by looking for the pocket sized constitution that they all were required to have in their possession at all times. With these Carsonnites, you just don’t know how to identify them.
So true. Maybe pocket-sized West Point codes of conduct? or pocket-sized “Gifted Hands” books?
US First Lady Michelle Obama was due to visit the city as part a tour of the Middle East, but cancelled and returned to Washington saying she was “disappointed” to cut the trip short due to bad weather.
