I’m posting this, but, I don’t think any of my fellow TODers should be anywhere near Trump – that is unless he’s safely secured in a cage where no physical harm will come to him (accidentally, of course) by one of us. 😀 😀
The cage made me think of the scene in Silence of the Lambs where Hannibal Lector was in the cage in the center of the room. That’s a visual that gives me nightmares.
Every rally has Trump’s “black supporter” sitting behind him. Trump thinks that will bring him in the votes – hahahaha – Hope the guy gets his pay for being there in advance – no way after the event Trump pays anyone
In today’s paper: The Columbus dispatch, the Cincinnati enquirer, the Dallas morning news, the Arizona republic, the San Francisco union-tribune, the Atlantic, the USA Today have all endorsed Hillary. First time in centuries…
In case you needed your faith in mal/white male/NFL white male/humanity restored, read this AWESOME take down of DT by Chris Kluwe:
Here’s his bio for the article 😹😹😂
“Chris Kluwe played eight years in the NFL for the Minnesota Vikings, is the author of the book Beautifully Unique Sparkleponies and co-author of the sci-fi book Prime: A Genesis Series Event, and can be found on twitter @ChrisWarcraft, where he’s usually causing some sort of ruckus. He endorses Hillary Clinton for this year’s presidential race, because, despite her faults, she at least can be trusted not to fire off nukes at 3 am when a Twitter egg insults her.”
Belated hellos, congrats, happy birthdays, and more as I slowly work my way thru a huge backlog of threads here at TOD. I am finally up through the 2nd debate. You all rock with your collections of tweets, comments, articles and videos. Thank you dear Chips for creating this wonderful place, and Nerdy Wonka for keeping it going these past few months.
Are any TOD’ers in the SF Bay Area planning on attending Hillary Clinton’s speech in SF tomorrow? If so, I would love to meet up with you after the event. But then I realize I don’t know how to get in touch with you. I hope one of you can let me know. I don’t tweet or facebook, so I guess it would have to be messaging or email. Help!
Michelle Obama is a treasure, not to be found again – and even moreso for that delightful comment that will live forever. It will be on the frontispiece of her first book – and every book written about her time in the White House
Dear Donald J. Trump, President Obama is allow to campaign for Hillary Clinton, for the same reason a lowlife racists bigot, sexists, thin skin lying bully is allow to run for President of these United States.
Scusami, TODers, for this Italian-themed comment on the Hispanic Heritage month post, but I couldn’t resist sharing this from Vox:
😂😹😹🇮🇹
WikiLeaks reveals John Podesta’s secret for making creamy risotto
“As Vox’s Andrew Prokop writes, there seems to be nothing “outright scandalous” in the emails. Most of the communication covers “a litany of policy and strategy discussions between Clinton staffers on how to handle issues of the day and the press.” The biggest revelations so far have been her praise of open borders and single-payer health care.
But buried deep in the email trove is another critically valuable nugget of information: John Podesta’s secret to making superb risotto.”
FWIW, I agree with Podesta’s risotto-making advice! No matter what kind of pan I use, adding the water in small amounts, over a longer period of time, makes for a creamier risotto (but, like pasta, you still want it al dente, never mushy!)
Not to Gloat, but to Excel. While Haters watch as Life in US & the World pass them.
Beaten, defeated badly is Intellectual Victory that Never needs an interpreter no matter how much in denial the loser is.
One of the things I learned about my boss during the first week of the administration was to not wander too far away. We had gone up to the U.S. Capitol a week after the inauguration to meet with the House and Senate Republican caucuses. I had already started running up the stairs ahead of him before I realized he had taken a slight detour to greet the kitchen staff. Pete Souza
Have to wrap up our phone bank in plenty of time to watch this! Good story from just now: stopped at my favorite neighborhood Mexican Restaurant to pick up some guacamole and fresh tortillas for the phone bank. The guy says, “we don’t do takeout during Happy Hour.” With my sad face, I said I was on my way to phone bank for Hillary, so he whispered he would make an exception because we have to beat Trump. He packed it up for me and gave me a high five. Si Se Puede!

Just got back from early voting. Very brisk at the BOE. Nothing except Hillary people working outside the polls. No Trump people, not even the little old ladies who the Republican Part sends out to hand out voter guides. Which is unusual to say the least. Back in 2004, when I worked with local democrats to hand out voter guides, both parties had people out handing out voter guides all day for both primaries and the general. But this time, just Democrats.
@realDonaldTrump It would take the jaws of life just to repeal my size 8 boot from that man's cock.I want to lodge his balls in his nostrils https://t.co/NnPIjFX5YT
Totally consistent with not wanting ANYONE to vote that will vote against them…ie, POC ….young people in college…the list goes on. We need to send such a resounding message this November that this will not be tolerated, that we just CRUSH this party into the dust and take control of the Executive and Legislative branches….and so, the Judicial Branch….We fought so hard to be here…no going back now. Forward Together. Stronger Together.
Talked to veterans in Troy about how the VA can better meet their needs & about making government work for the folks here in MO. #mosenpic.twitter.com/e0C7DPZ22i
with the start of early voting in my state, I feel a great sense of relief about this election;
the push to get voters registered before yesterday’s deadline was really intense but I think our state hit its goal … not to jinx it but the Team Clinton/Kaine regional organizers are smiling;
everyday a number of determined new faces are joining the organization & the GOTV is already in process;
the weather is still nice for the door knocking;
I prefer the street action & do minimum phone banking because many people who claim not to understand what you are saying on the phone are more receptive face to face … except the one gentleman who told me he has so many guns in his house … oh and the family that sent out its dogs accompanied by a number of curse words;
i will be casting my vote in the next few days so that it is banked for SoS HRC … not taking any chances in this house-to-house competition;
Hearing voting for Hillary is so heavy in Ohio that some precincts have been running out of ballots! Such good news! (Yes, they'll vote.) https://t.co/4VYUI6RWas
I’ve missed a lot (that dratted working), though I did see and read Meta’s sharing of the article re PBO’s interview with WIred and thoroughly enjoyed it.. In this post by Smartypants there’s a neat video clip from the interview; go check it out, you’ll like it.

Today, the latest edition of WIRED was published with President Obama as the editor. Even for us non-geeks, this part of his conversation with the staff at that publication is interesting.
…………………………
For those of you who are actual geeks, you might want to check out the rest of President Obama’s conversation with MIT’s Joi Ito and WIRED’s Scott Dadich titled, “Barack Obama, Neural Nets, Self-Driving Cars, and the Future of the World.” Suffice it to say that, if you’re feeling bogged down by the constant flow of Trumpian nonsense we’re being exposed to lately, watching our President let his geek flag fly is a great antidote.
The difference is, Trump (or Trump supporters) will probably be paying women to come out (as was admittedly done with the ones before the debate). The Trump accusers are voluntarily coming forward … at least as far as I know.
SCOOP: Trump campaign going nuclear. Will soon roll out new accusers. "We're going to turn him into Bill Cosby," vows Bannon. @bw story soon

Buenos tardes, amigas y amigos!

Hi GGail…Serous Lurker here…
Your email address is on this link.
Hi Marlz, thanks for the 411 😊
The cage made me think of the scene in Silence of the Lambs where Hannibal Lector was in the cage in the center of the room. That’s a visual that gives me nightmares.
Behind trump at his rally just now two signs that say ..
Blacks for trump
Gods2.com
Wth
Only in America …
I wouldn’t be surprised to see anything at these rallies.. He’s turned the whole country into a reality show.
Every rally has Trump’s “black supporter” sitting behind him. Trump thinks that will bring him in the votes – hahahaha – Hope the guy gets his pay for being there in advance – no way after the event Trump pays anyone
the last few debates I believe those are Caucasian men in black face/make up.
Let me say this
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our lovely Jackie4Obama. ❤
And
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our wonderful Jacquelineoboomer. ❤
May you enjoy many many more laughs, hugs, & kisses 🙂
Happy Born Day Jackie4Obama. Hope you have a marvelous day.

Happy belated birthday Marlz. Hope your birthday was full of love and laughter.
Happy Day Jackie – hope it’s getting better and better as the day goes on. Might as well celebrate all week – and through to November – enjoy
Happy Birthday Jackie

With the kind of nominee the GOP have, the whole media should be endorsing Hillary.
Yes, but then they would have to justify all their vile coverage of DT. So, not gonna happen.

A lowlife racists bigot like Donald J. Trump.
That is a perfect response Bella
The same reason the Republican Presidents are campaigning for you…..Oh wait….No they’re campaigning for HRC too! SNAP!
the pig is losing his mind right in front of our eyes. great job, effing gop.
Is DT getting suntan booth treatments or spray on tans?

I’m not generally a gloater but if we beat Trump on Nov 8th like I hope we beat him I’m gonna have to get in some folks faces. That.Is.All.

Oh me oh my, it is going to be a flat out RELIEF to put some of these folks in the REAL world.
Meta, the ignorance is astounding. Now his supporters are tweeting out to repeal the 19th amendment. Amazing.
Ignorance, arrogance, misogyny, racism, bigotry – we’ve seen it all. God help this nation.
What a loving introduction of President Obama but Roxanna. She really enjoyed her POTUS hug and kiss and deserves thanks from all of us.
She was amazing. What a hard worker, dedicated to dignity for those in her care.
Let’s do this, Democrats.
I have mostly donated to Democratic women running for Senate, but I have added Jason Kander to my priority list. He’s a good guy.
Thanks so much, {{{{Judith}}}}. You are a very much appreciated for all your efforts.
Thanks for the new post, NW.
Congrats, NW and GGail for clocking Furst ⭐
Happy Birthday, J4O. ❤ and many more years.
I have not heard or read any tweets from GoBrooklyn for a while. I hope she’s doing OK.
Seending you ❤ ❤ ❤
Hope to see you soon.
Oh my, she has been thru so much, I hope she is okay.
She posted a tweet on Oct 9
They like to exit with their millions thinking that will avoid further fallout.
and I bet he gets a big fat check anyway
oh just heard on the news: 137 million dollars. poor thing.
My glorious President.
The eyes are everything in this photo.
waaaaahhhhhh…….
Let’s do this, Democrats!

Will not cope with him leaving – no way no how.
From Day One, he always reached out to those who serve at every level. Truly a man of the people.
Love our First Lady.
