stfu, bill.
This guy is almost begging me not to vote for Hillary.
Bill really is jealous of Hillary and of President Obama. I’ve been saying for months that I wish President Obama would nominate him to be ambassador to Cuba so we could keep him busy away from this campaign.
Do you really want the big dog down in Cuba all by himself?
The media is pushing truncated remarks. The fuller clip shows him giving credit to the President for all he has accomplished despite obstruction.
Then he should know better. Given his lifelong experience with the msm scums.
It’s okay, Bill giveth with one hand and taketh away with the other.
It is time; Hillary needs to show her *leadership* skills and tell her beloved to sit down and shut up if he cannot stay on script, and let her run her campaign.
The U.S. government posted a $55 billion budget surplus in January, up from an $18 billion deficit in the same month a year ago, the Treasury Department said on Wednesday.

Thanks, Obama
I was on twitter last night up until about 1:30 a.m. debating with some BernieBro about Sanders use of the word ‘revolution.’
Morning Don. Twiddling your thumbs at work, were you?
No, I couldn’t sleep last night so I started out surfing the net then ended up on twitter.
Normally when I can’t sleep I choose a book. Most of the time that works much better for me than sheep counting. Twitter, though often boring, would more rile me up than calm me down. :D
Australian hospital refuses to discharge asylum baby.
Protesters have gathered at an Australian hospital to support doctors that have refused to discharge a baby facing deportation to a detention camp.
The Lady Cilento Hospital in Brisbane said the year-old girl will not be released “until a suitable home environment is identified”.
The daughter of asylum-seeker parents suffered serious burns at an immigration camp on Nauru island.
The government says its controversial offshore detention policy is necessary.
It is aimed at preventing asylum seekers trying to reach Australia on unseaworthy boats.
Ellen Roberts, a spokeswoman for campaign group GetUp, said protesters were “standing in solidarity” with the baby’s parents - who are in Brisbane - and the hospital.
“We are calling on [Prime Minister] Malcolm Turnbull to do the right thing and let the family stay,” she told Reuters.

2-1 against lowly sunderland ??? gulp…. someone is not gonna be happy.
And Ireland just lost to a crappy France in the rugby. Apart from that, it’s been a swell Saturday.
this season must rank as epl’s craziest. all kindsa minnows upsetting the applecart.
It’s bonkers - although the biggest upset at this stage would be United stringing a couple of wins together :roll:
:D

I want Trump: ‘Make United Great Again’ :???:
ok, now you have gone over the bend. the new feller can’t be that bad. come on.
I blame Chips AND DeGea :-(

GGail, we need to change teams. Soon.
#bandwagoners

Nope, you taught me the game via Manchester United and we’re sticking with them - All. The. Way!
They’re causing us too much pain, though - I think we need to move on. :-)
Just keep looking at where Chelsea is in the Standings, that should make you feel better about our boys :-) (don’t show this to NW) :D
But to be slightly better than rubbishy Chelsea is NOOOOOOOOOOO consolation.
LOL!!!!!
Good West Coast morning Chipsticks and TOD family.
Gotta go read up on the doggie saga
Sunny and *cold* east coast morning to you, GxG. We are at a winterly -25°C, which I wouldn’t at all mind sharing with all TODobots.
Yipes! it’s a sunny and *warm* west coast morning out here vc. Current temp is 63F and the high in my area will be 84F
Well, you don’t have to sound like you’re bragging. Geeeesh. Too much sunlight can be dangerous, you know.
28 deg …… C.
god favors the good. 8-)
S/He sure does. Lets them live in cool temperatures with enough sunlight as needed. Ask CC.
That you may be children of your father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.
Matthew 5:45
Amen Don.
I was stunned for a second when I read that it was *you* who wrote a biblical verse. You did do a better job than Trump tho’. :-)
I know my way around a bible a little bit, LOL, just a little bit.
So I see :-)
googled it, didja?
amk! :-)
Do not speak to fools, for they will scorn your prudent words.

:D :D My door is always open for you VC
:D :D I see you….. trying to absorb some of the cold weather to cool down your living space. Thanks, but it wouldn’t be right to run away from the refreshing weather the Lord has provided …. especially as I’d have to come back to it before too long. ;)
Yes, the cool - not cold weather would be nice. Although, I wouldn’t mind if it stays around like this till my birthday weekend; Feb 26th & 27th. Last year, we had cold rain for my birthday brunch. :D
smh Can you imagine if God were to try to accommodate us *all*! :D :D Anyhoo, hope you have a superb birthday weekend when it arrives.
This morning it was 20 degrees, it suppose to reach somewhere near 32 degrees. Darn cold.
But at least the snow is gone and the sun is shining.
Good morning annieb. I have a cousin who lives in Salisbury, NC. He keeps asking me to move there when I retire, but I will not tolerate snow & cold if I have a choice! :-)
Bright sunshine here and little wind, but it is 27 degrees! I try to not complain though-too much anyway. 😀😀 After 18 years in northern OH where we seldom saw the sun and sometimes didn’t see the ground from late November until late March, I’ll take this any day.
Good morning TOD :)
Congrats Bill :)
Way too busy …. will try to add updates to the sidebar …. bbl

Good Morning BFF and TOD.
With polls saying most Canadians disagree with Trudeau’s military plan, the government will withdraw Canada’s six CF-18 fighter jets from the U.S.-led bombing mission against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria by Feb. 22.
Good morning JER :-)
PM Trudeau, I don’t think that’s a wise decision. This may earn him a phone call from PBO
I agree.
That’s the thing with campaign promises - you should probably keep them if you want to build your credibility.
It’s lunch time……..
