Hello! Hope everyone is having a great day
Au ⭐ Winner 😉 Furst!
Congrats, GCL 🙂
Not the point of the lead post — but is our FLOTUS gorgeousss or what?
She looks like she is getting younger and younger.
Good Afternoon, Everyone 🙂
Love Michelle Obama.
Hello TOD, GA All 🙂
Thanks, NW.
❤ TODbots, especially on a Manic Monday 😉
-The truth and cover-up about voting machines in this country must become common knowledge. As well as what it will take to feel
confident about voting as well unharassed at the polls.
Very scary. This is what we need to address before next year’s elections.
She has stayed true to her word, to a point, but she remains blunt and candid. In a pair of recent appearances, Justice Ginsburg critiqued the Trump administration’s travel ban, previewed the coming court term, predicted an end to capital punishment and suggested that the other branches of government are in disarray.
Justice Ginsburg, 84, also described her grueling exercise routine, her link to a rap icon and her “graveyard” dissents.
The first appearance came two days after the Supreme Court issued a terse and cryptic unsigned order recalibrating how much of Mr. Trump’s travel ban could be enforced while court challenges to it move forward. The order was two sentences long, and you could figure out what it meant mostly by inference.
RIP, Sam Shepard
Was just going to post this. Man what an incredible playwright in his own league for a long time. Godspeed Sam!!
OH NO!!!!! I LOVE HIM! So sad…my sincere condolences to his family and friends….he will be missed
A really terrific character actor, I last saw him in in the Netflix series, Bloodline. A great performance.
I was just reading he had Lou Gehrig’s disease. I’m so sorry he suffered. May he forever Rest In Peace.
We’ve lost another one of the greats!
imo marvelous message, marvelous woman.
I couldn’t agree more.
That is great news!! This is what we need to do about the ACA — fix it. Don’t end it.
AND his wife is divorcing him. Boy howdy! Sucks to be him.

PS. There is no chaos at the WH. Absolutely none. Running like an oily machine, or something:)
where are all the pundits who used to talk about how Weak President Obama was…hmmmmm….the weak is the bully….no surprise there
Isn’t that the equivalent of cutting of all diplomatic ties to a country? Seizing an embassy is a big deal. Still, I say bring it on. They would not have tried that with Pres. Obama or if elected Pres. Clinton.
Which is why they WANTED the incompetent Trump. Clinton had Putin’s number. NONE of this shit would have gotten by her. She was a tough cookie and Putin knew that.
So how is Trump going to react to this insult? Is he just going to act as if nothing is happening? Weak as hell. Russia has no respect for the man in the White House.
HAPPY DAMN DAY!!!! YAHOO!!!

Karma Bitch!
This is what so many in the GOP, particularly this administration are guilty of. Contempt for the laws and norms and citizens of our country.
YAY!
More great news — a racist being found guilty is always great news.
Trump has decided to remove Anthony Scaramucci from his position as communications director, three people close to the decision said Monday, relieving him just days after Mr. Scaramucci unloaded a crude verbal tirade against other senior members of the president’s senior staff.
Mr. Scaramucci’s abrupt removal came just 10 days after the wealthy New York financier was brought on to the West Wing staff, a move that convulsed an already chaotic White House and led to the departures of Sean Spicer, the former press secretary, and Reince Priebus, the president’s first chief of staff.
The decision to remove Mr. Scaramucci, who had boasted about reporting directly to the president not the chief of staff, John F. Kelly, came at Mr. Kelly’s request, the people said. Mr. Kelly made clear to members of the White House staff at a meeting Monday morning that he is in charge.
I can’t stop laughing!
He’s such a liar. We can see the chaos from our houses, to paraphrase Palin.
Clever people in this world.
Sometimes, life comes at you fast.
In my family there’s one truly difficult person that I try to keep my distance from. However, that person, with no filter, is often right when the statements are made but no one is willing to admit it. Its always been interesting to me. The loose cannons can reveal quite a bit before others silence the.
Scaramucci probably correctly assessed the nature of Preibus and Bannon. Can’t have that. Wonder though if Bannon will be gone soon too. I can’t imagine if Kelly want’s a chain of command like he seems to be demanding that the Brietbart world will go along with that or that Kelly will suffer a person that’s only there to build his media empire.
I think all the stupid talkers, Jared, Ivanka, Bannon, and all the people putting wild ideas in Twitlers head will be gone.
I doubt Trump is going to get rid of his own daughter but I guess we will have to see. This is a Mad House so anything could happen.
OMG 😲
BuhBye Moochi
I really was inspired by this featured post. Its beautiful and fills the heart. I personally need that message most days of my life and I am of the age to start Medicare in a month. In so many ways we are all first generation and not just with college. I left an abusive marriage and have been on my own since. I need to go back to work in a field I haven’t worked in in a long time and its going to be hard. My children have all moved far away and I live in a community that is difficult because its closed and rural. I love the President and openly talk about this whenever it is a correct moment and that’s been hard work where I live. However, it is input in, effort in and success out even if it takes a long time. Every time I face a new challenge I have to have the same talk with myself. God, I absolutely love Michelle Obama. What a beautiful person inside and out. I wish she was my sister so I could chat with her on the phone and tell her about my life and my day and visa versa. Oh to have a friend like that.
{{{catrst}}} You are stronger than you know. You are in my happy thoughts:)
catrst you are a strong woman never forget that. You have the entire TOD family behind you and whenever you need to talk to friends were are always here for you 24/7.
GA catrst.
Good luck in your job search — sounds like it will be difficult, since their aren’t as many opportunities in rural areas, but you’ve got the determination to do well.
Speaking of rural America, here’s a map (I love maps) of broadband access in rural America, and what stands out to me is that lack of connectivity seems to pervasive (pink and dark pink on the map) in the “Indian Territory” of this country. 😦
((((( catrst )))))
Good luck in everything that you venture upon, catrst. TOD has your back!
Yes!
The absolutely EVIL Kris Kobach should not be over looked. KANSAS…shove his ass to the curb!! He should not be anywhere around people or any living thing.
Beware. Someone like the ACLU should maybe take this guy on?
We need to start suing him NOW!
That would be good! I think he wants to run for Governor of Kansas. God help them if he slithers in.
Uh, I think, Kris, the Eric Holder has your number. I’d be careful if I were you.
Always seems mentally unhinged. U.S. Constitutional right to vote - Yes or No? How has Kobach even gone the first
100 yards to disenfranchise citizens? When was the moment when he felt safe in doing it? Why can’t he be stopped?
Great title:) Who Ate Republicans Brains? (I think that brain eating bacteria. They have ALL lost their shit)
Dr. Lecter?
Power corrupts absolutely! They had too much power for too long. The media and their party gives them too much slack. When it comes to DEMs the pols have to be perfect. They can’t SAY or DO anything that is not looked through a different prism than a Rethug who does the same or worse.
Have they ever had any brains to eat? Since I was a child and recall Reagan, they’ve always been awful people — sexist, racist, xenophobic, homophobic, etc.
Myy, myy….Oh Yeah!
🤣 ROFLMAO 😂😂😂😂😂
Bet is wife is dancing a jig 💃🏾
B.O.O. H.O.O. It’s called Karma Sam Stein. Another privileged person full of hubris who failed upwards the entirety of his business career, getting his comeuppance live and in living technicolor. Orange Fanta Fascist, Mooch and their ilk are just another illustration of why our country/government should NOT be “run like a business”.
Those ARE CALLED CHOICES. Honestly. They all need to stfu. It’s not sad, it’s PATHETIC.
stein, the loony left idjit.
I so love George!
heh. Well done Mr. Takei.
Good Afternoon TODVille.
Too many breaking news today. Wow!

Does DWTS also feature Democratic rejects or is it only focused on Republican losers?
Oops!
LOL. DO it!
http://mashable.com/2017/07/25/queen-waynes-world-siri/#AH_mtV5MSaqa
you need to say this to Siri right now: “I see a little silhouette of a man.”
How embarrassing. LOL.
What a fail. LOL.
What the hell is going on, I’m sitting in my car at Wendy’s enjoying my artery clogging double burger and listening to sports radio. I’m a closet eater, that means I sneak off alone and eat things that I have no business eating. Anyway, it comes across the radio that the “Mooch” was fired, again I ask what the hell is going on?
It was just a matter of time 😀
Nothing to see here, Don. Eat your artery clogging yummy food. There is NO CHAOS in the WH. Carry On! LOL!!
LOL!
Everything’s fine! Nothing crazy at all!
Anyone with a brain could see that the homegrown demagogue was going to fire that equally-morally-corrupt & equally-pompous-corrupt punk. Two scumbags cut from the same cloth and of course there is no honor among thieves & scumbags
Competition for who can say the craziest **it. Donald cannot have the limelight stolen away.
This is it, right here. Mooch was more entertaining than DT, and that is the ultimate sin for the sick f**k sitting in the White House.
So very true. But, of course, if they’re too dull, they’re out … and if they’re too entertaining, they’re out. No one is safe.
Smooches. Just gonna leave this here. Refer back as needed.
That laugh at the end gets me every time. Seriously.
And if his supporters had any brains or insight into human behavior, this would have been a huge red flag.
I don’t know what compels people to support, work for, or align themselves with him. Is it as simple as a being bunch of insanely gullible people? Deplorables aside, what makes potential staff members think they won’t get screwed over?
That’s the most bizarre aspect of this for me.
Two slimy men who deserved each other.
I didn’t see the mooch’s firing coming at all, a lot of people saw it coming but I wasn’t one of them. In my opinion the mooch did everything Trump could have wanted him to do and he still gets fired. I mean I’m not going to throw a telethon for the guy but I’m confused as to way he was let go.
Kelly put his foot down. He told them ALL he is in charge…PERIOD. I think if things get out of hand Kelly will quit!
He served his purpose (got Priebus to resign/fired.) Totally expendable now. Plus he was getting too much media focus.
Yowza! Maybe Jared will pick up a few more jobs soon….
The one and only thing Trump is good at before becoming President and after saying ” You’re fired!”
Karma is a b$$$$!!!!!
Made a bet with a friend over the weekend that the Mooch would be out by the end of August. Guess I won! :LOL: :LOL:
LOS ANGELES IS GETTING THE 2028 OLYMPICS! YA HOOOOOO!
Will u no who take/get credit for this?
Am I the only one who thinks that Los Angeleans will pay the cost, especially the poor who will be relocated out of sight.
Sorry…just seen it over and over.
“When President Barack Obama created a task force for young black men in 2014, it took months of demands by black women for a similar task force to be created for young black women. Even then, the girls’ task force did not receive equal attention or funding”.
I am glad a similar task force was created for young black women however I do see the need for focus to be placed on young men of color to have a task force and/or organizations that help them. Young AA boys are discriminated at a very young age, it starts in pre-school. They are labeled trouble makers and treated harshly. When we help AA young men this also helps young AA women too. AA women go to and finish college in higher numbers than their male counterparts. Funding is tight for any social/business program so I don’t see this as some type of slight against young AA young women.
i understood that there was an office for young women and girls…that Valerie Jarrett was in charge of…and a mentoring program for girls and young women that FLOTUS was in charge of
We’ll see how long this last. I wonder if Kelly can take away his twitter account.
They are such liars I don’t believe anything that comes out their mouths. I’ll believe when they ALL leave town.
I know, jojo. How often did we hear DOA upon arrival to the Senate?
What am I missing???
Oooh. Ouch. You got it in one.
She is gorgeous, smart and dignified. Always my FLOTUS.
LOL!! If these people had any shame at all, they’d be embarrassed and go sit down somewhere. They keep getting caught in blatant lies.
ONLY 60%??? Are the other 40% living underground?
Any bets on how long Kelly will last?
He may last pretty long since he’s a General and thus will have Trump’s ear. It may be more of a question of how long Trump lasts.
LOL 🙂
sorry, posted the wrong tweet. wanted to post BBC tweet. will try again.
Reclaiming My Time
OMG I love this so much! Thanks swbluega for posting! Waters was dynamite in that interview, and richly deserves this gorgeous gospel celebration of her powerful claim on her time.
You’re welcome
